PROTO IDIOT
Leisure Opportunity
Slovenly Recordings

Caution, massive use of foreign language, you´ll feel like being a 20th Semester Latin Lectureship student without money, friends and social balance !
PROTO IDIOT are the atonym of sobriety, the hinged-up “Bingo Masters Breakout” loo lid on Mark E Smith´s lavatory, cause of matrimonial trouble when being used by seasoned barroom athlete friends to pee standing up and spice the bowl with a monstrous pile of Nineties Garage Punk Poo.

BOTOX RATS
Nasty Business LP
Wanda Records

If there´s one person in this world (besides my wife, we live in emancipated times) allowed to yell, scream and screech at me, it´s Marco from and to Palumbo-Rodrigues, the number one 8X12 bogey gunner de nos jours and new age “Führers Of The New Wave” re-incarnation troop commander of the next rotten league of meth mucked PUSHERS addicts.
Looking at all the classy musical epitomes that this man has to offer, the real truth behind all those fake news of the day only having 24 hours has to be that it´s actually 72 hours instead. Don´t let the bastards fool you on this !

Review: NASTY RUMOURS – Singles LP

NASTY RUMOURS
Singles
Wanda Records

Four multiplied by seven is twelve as Adam Riese and Casino Steel already knew when having developed the formula for the Vinyl Spin Factor reduction in inverse ratio to the consumption of ice cold hop & malt beverages.
An established method now picked up by the Powerpop Heartbreakers of the Bern Razorblade Forge NASTY RUMOURS to collect their Singles released on Wanda Records and No Front Teeth from 2014 to 2016 in the joint-friendly but liver-thrilling 12″ format, less time to turn over the singles, more time to drink.

SMOGTOWN
On Tour Not 10″
No Front Teeth Records

Time to whip your tissues because this is the final Bossa Nova & Goodbye of California´s most finest, the Führers of the New Wave, the unbeatable Snot cracks of SMOGTOWN. Delivered in the wieldy travel pillow format of 10″ we have a 2005 Live Recording straight outta Di Piazza´s / Long Beach here that´s solicitously spit into the drooling circle pit mob including all the early danceflooor killers (plus a double trouble couple of later ones being “Domesticviolenceland” and “Subdivision End Product”) that one could wish for.

V/A
Backstreet Fever Vol. 5 – Yobbo Rocks & Flasher Grooves
Vibrator Buzz Compilation Series

Promised like three weeks ago it´s finally online now that I got my ass off the Erdnuss Flips ridden couch watching important Didi Hallervorden movies.
Is the last volume really like almost one year ago ? Man, time is running fast when you got this real life thing going, Volume Six should be avalibale in 2020 then, maybe earlier. Well, let´s stop the shit talking then. You wanna listen to music right ?
Well, go for it below the invisible “Read More” line, where you´ll find the tracklist and download links that will lead you to 7th heaven musical enlightment once again.
All in the name of flared trousers, lost teeth, broken noses, boogie with the bartender and long gone losers !
The download is split in two parts this time for maximum quality, so don´t forget to click both links in order to receive the full treatment. Feel free to share as well !

Review: DEVIOUS ONES – Djarum Summers 7″

DEVIOUS ONES
Djarum Summers 7″
No Front Teeth Records

Do your hear that clapping sound ? Do you smell the taste of blood ? Don´t worry, it´s not another AGNOSTIC FRONT record that I´m talking about, it´s just me spanking my own ass. Amado of the DEVIOUS ONES already got in touch with me many months and moons ago and though I´d already marked writing about them somewhere in the back of my unsorted mind I´ve always been unable to pull it off due to various circumstances and it fell through.
At least until now when Marco from NFT finally released this gem and sent it over forcing me to my long overdue contestation with the DEVIOUS ONES. Fortunately, as otherwise I would have regretted it.

Review: RADIOHEARTS – Daytime Man EP

RADIOHEARTS
Daytime Man EP
Wanda Records

The fifth round of the Long Beach “Hit after Hit” Popcorn Bag Wonders and once again the air is getting rarer for their opponents. Don´t ask me why I haven´t written about those blokes yet, maybe it´s because the almighty Lord Rutledge has already said everything great that is to say about them, maybe it´s just my general work flow modus of only posting reviews every two to four months but at least here it is, my five cent contribution to the musical industry.

Top Of The Snots: THE GIFT – Running Around This Town LP

THE GIFT
Running Around This Town LP
Time For Action Records

Alright you Top Boys and Knuckle Girls, I really hope you didn´t set your TFA order yet after the triumphant cry for glory of the WEEKS yesterday because here´s another scorcher comin´ from the same label to whip out your wallet for.
In case you ever thought of Powerpop only being some lame kind of coitus backbeat or of Mod Revival only being fit for crumpled pedantic traditionalists blustering about the sewing patterns of their Button-Down Shirts while sipping on a cup of Earl Grey and nibbling on a piece of malt loaf, then you´ve finally found the definite antithesis to this proposition by means of THE GIFT from Nantes and their actual full-length.
Almost two years after the release of their Debut EP on Une Vie Pour Rien those guys, having emerged from the likes of PROTOKIDS, JANITORS, RUDES and HEADLINERS, are presenting  a record that simply has to be denominated as absolutely unrivalled in it´s sound and attitude, once again giving proof that the TFA commander-in-chief Micha repeatedly evinces the right intuition to find extraordinary bands for his label.
