BITCH PREFECT Big Time LP
Nothing at all needs to be said about this record, this thing has already taken the cake for Australian release of the year. All you need to do is make sure you snag a copy while it’s around.
Available from August 3 through BSR / Fuse Music.
HISSEY MIYAKE / TERRIBLE TRUTHS 7″
Much anticipated split 7″ from these two prolific Melbourne groups. Are we allowed to say ‘groovy’? These tracks are groovy as hell and put the rest of us to shame, really.
Available from July 6 through BSR / Fuse Music.
PER PURPOSE Warburton 7″
Latest 7″ from Brisbane’s PER PURPOSE, and this one is well and truly a farewell wave to the band you once knew. Only one track per side here, each packing at least as much punch as their first EP in it’s entirety. Highly recommended.
Available from July 6 through BSR / Fuse Music.
KNEE CHIN Melting Upwards 7″
Finally! Debut wax effort from absolute Brisbane legends KNEE CHIN. Could have easily superseded Verlaines for No.1 on the NZ hit charts back in ’83.
Available from July 6 through BSR / Fuse Music.
SCOTT & CHARLENE’S WEDDING / PEAK TWINS LP
First in an ongoing series of split long players from BSR and Night People, this edition brings together longtime favourites SCOTT & CHARLENE’S WEDDING and new outfit PEAK TWINS. The first recorded output from S&CW since 2010′s now legendary Para Vista Social Club, flip this record and you also get Peak Twins’ long awaited wax debut. An absolute necessity, two of the finest in Australian music.
Check out the video for Peak Twins ‘Only Sun’ HERE.

SCOTT & CHARLENE’S WEDDING Para Vista Social Club LP
Finally! Reissue of extremely hard to find 2010 debut from the legendary SCOTT & CHARLENE’S WEDDING. Now every kid with a (dis)interest in good music can own this record, and we couldn’t be happier.
“It’s an off-the-cuff collection of real-life woes, each song spilling out like a soused diary entry…a hell of a lot more than 200 people ought to hear this record. It’s sludgy and hypnotic and true; an undisguised catalogue of the licks we take in our youth.” – Doug Wallen, Mess + Noise
LOOSE GRIP Cereal 7″
Debut 7″ from Brisbane weirdo punk kids LOOSE GRIP, members of Kitchen’s Floor, Per Purpose, etc.
“First wave USA hardcore without the macho and a bit o’ added weirdness…one of the best bands I saw this year.” – Nic Warnock, R.I.P Society Records
“These guys don’t wear shirts in public and have crappy tattoos and walk around their houses in the morning with their dicks flopping around, eating cereal with full fat milk. They smoke bongs habitually, and they play fast American sounding hardcore music, practicing sporadically. They spew after they drink a lot, and they love the feeling of it. At least one of them doesn’t know their real father.” – Brendon Annesley, Negative Guest List
KITCHEN’S FLOOR Look Forward To Nothing CD
“I would take 100 more of bands like KITCHEN’S FLOOR than most of the bullshit that comes my way. Bands that prove there’s the endless depth we all hope rock ‘n’ roll to have are so rare and yet so needed. They poke holes in the theory of rock relativity, and provide a chance to see what people with a mission can tell us when we have to listen. Your time will not be wasted by these young men.” – Doug Mosurock, Still Single
Currently available on CD only, vinyl orders try your luck with Siltbreeze/Midheaven.
BACK IN STOCK — KITCHEN’S FLOOR ‘Regrets’ Tee in S, M, L or XL. Check out how happy this tee makes Luke from BLANK REALM feel. Don’t forget to indicate size in your order.
SCRAPS Classic Shits LP
“SCRAPS is one of those special artists that define Brisbane for me (along with Blank Realm, Meat Thump, Sky Needle, sure even bloody Slug Guts), an amazing musical oddity hidden amongst a landscape of shit.” – Matt Kennedy, Eternal Soundcheck
PER PURPOSE Implicating More Than One 12″ EP
“PER PURPOSE: the best of the bunch, one of the few young bands in town w/ original, intelligent ideas, delivered w/ a brave consideration for petulance and a tendency towards the engagingly annoying and a strong rock dynamic, both live AND on record. They’ve managed to find their zen-spot, pressed record, and this record petrifies it.” – Brendan Annesley, Negative Guest List
PER PURPOSE ‘Implicating’ Tees — only S or M left in stock! Design matches the sleeve of their new record, Implicating More Than One. Please remember to indicate size when ordering!
SLUG GUTS Howlin’ Gang LP
“The second LP from SLUG GUTS is a noticeably more mature record than their debut. While the Guts still pay homage to Australia’s strong swamp rock lineage, Howlin’ Gang brings something new to a genre that has seen too many boring recreations. It’s a reverb-drenched mess that’s punctuated by duelling riffs and tom-heavy drums. Jimi Kritzler’s high-pitched growl is removed from this record and in its place is the baritone drawl of bass player James Dalgleish. SLUG GUTS hate Brisbane so much so that they thought recording this in a railway carriage in Ipswich would be better than staying in their home town. They seem to feed off what they see as a festering abyss. It’s intentionally unsettling.” – Sam Davidson, Two Thousand
Limited Australian tour LP, originally released in the USA on Sacred Bones Records.
FAT HISTORY MONTH Safe & Sound 7″
“It’s difficult to think of another band as in tune with Boston’s underground rock community as FAT HISTORY MONTH. Whether the modest two piece are demonstrating their uncanny ability to pack a basement midweek or curating shows themselves that blend the best local musicians with the finest of out-of-towners, FAT HISTORY MONTH’s only intention is what embodies the DIY music scene across the city: positivity and energy.” – Clay Adamcsyk, Dig Boston
PER PURPOSE Heil Progress 7″
“PER PURPOSE take a page from The Minutemen’s ‘jam econo’ philosophy. Brevity is favoured, and normal song structure is ignored or contorted so that every worthwhile idea can be crammed in to fit. Like that influential trio, this one shifts gears every few seconds, but tends to keep grooving/convulsing along in one malformed way or another. It sounds like chaotic, agitated energy being forced through a conduit of brittle ‘n’ wiry punk-funk.” – Lee Parker, Five Thousand
BLANK REALM Deja What? LP
Follow up to their 2009 breakthrough LP on Not Not Fun records, this second effort from Brisbane’s BLANK REALM sees them delve further into pop territory, all the while keeping their feet firmly floating in a haze of groaning psychedelia.
KITCHEN’S FLOOR Loneliness Is A Dirty Mattress LP
Debut full-length from Brisbane downer pop trio. Songs frome the stifling heat of suburban sharehousing; the stinking carpet and broken showers. Absolute pop gems shrouded in mouldy spaghetti.
LOOK!POND Look!Pond CD
Recently we came into possession of a box containing lost copies of the startling debut from a band once known as LOOK!POND, circa 2006. Chaotic + beautiful pop, this album is raw as shit and catchy as hell. Good times all round. Members of this notorious trio continued on to form bands like KITCHEN’S FLOOR, SLUG GUTS and NO ANCHOR.
MARL CARX Sits Obvious CD
MARL CARX equals the past tense of Glen Schenau and Michaela-Sophie Chin, Brisbane AU. After splitting up early 2009 and moving onto other projects (KITCHEN’S FLOOR, BLACK VACATION) the band finally present their debut and only release, a bizarre package of Brisbane rock ‘n’ roll.
AXXONN Below The Dead Ones CS
“Like a darker, starker Fuck Buttons, AXXONN understand the value of anchoring their tunes with structure rather than letting themselves be seduced by all the wayward sounds their chosen technology is capable of producing. They employ subtlety and repetition and subliminal bass pulses to draw listeners into their world. Still, they always seem to be in complete control. Not a single note or tweak is wasted or gratuitous and there’s a surprising warmth to their material…the result is a masterpiece of its genre.” – Rene Schaefer, Mess+Noise
