rhr061: COLA FREAKS 'Mig Mig Mig 7" EP'
cola freaks [website] are gritty kbd punks from denmark who have somehow captured that amazing adverts guitar tone and made it their own....most recently jay reatard toyed with those same tones so it should be no surprise that this record was originally slated for release by shattered records. what sets them apart is that cola freaks draw from a darker region of kbd punk. mads stobberup's nervous vocal attack is riddled with tensions bordering on unstability. paired with the song writing, there's an underlying fear in cola freaks' songs that suggest a "don't fuck with me, i might snap' attidude. i.e. this isn't fun and safe punk rock and things will get crazy. [500 pressed; black vinyl]

rhr060: PERIPHERIQUE EST 'Demos Vol.2 7" EP'
in typical DIY fashion, belgian punkers peripherique est [website] self-released their debut LP back in 2005. the pressing was small and sold out as quick as it came but there were no represses and they never really broke through the immeasurable number of bands with self-released records. however, as the next few years ticked by the band's short-lived legacy spread via word of mouth and their record became more and more collectible. so now that people are finally taking notice here's something more to add to the armory: 4 tracks with the punk attack of starshooter and touch of pop a la elton motello.

rhr059:EX HUMANS 'Self-Titled LP' (Includes free download code)
ex humans [website] got two killer 7"s under their belt via non-tradtional labels for a (now ex-) atlantan musician so if they're not on your radar yet you need to wake up and take note. if introductions are in order let's start with with josh martin (vox/gtr) who, after several years as carbonas' lead guitarist and an amazing perfomance on the s/t goner release, relocated to brooklyn for a change of scenery. the carbonas didnt last much longer so that decision seems to have paid off and gave ex humans a head start over other ex-carbonas bands. the no-bullshit powerhouse trio is rounded out by todd martin (b) and jesse martinez (drms) who help summon murder punk's blood, guts and gore for the group's debut LP on rob's house. make no mistake, if you're looking for another brooklyn loft-pop hipster band then ex humans arent for you but if you're like us and think that the punk underground has swayed too far from what punk really is then these guys will be the breath of fresh air you've been gasping for. recorded & mastered by dave rahn. art by gg king. [500 pressed; black vinyl]
side a: primitive, halos, islands, contact high, turn the dial. side b: see you around, shakin', reckless eyes, emergency, you got it, mars.

rhr058: DAVILA 666 '12" EP'
davila 666 [website] are in full-on take no prisoners mode. we asked them for a couple songs for a 7" and what we got was 5 near perfect pop anthems that would never fit on a 7". of course we wanted them all so we threw them on a 12" and what youre getting is probably their best release to date. these songs are instantly addicting but unlike other puerto rican imports consumption is no crime, it's encouraged! on top of that their live show is one of the best around and their constant touring has left a path of amazed fans. its no wonder that when we booked the atlanta mess around the legendary urinals asked specifically not to be placed after davila 666 in the lineup!! who in their right mind would want to follow davila 666? ...better to follow 'em with a shot of something equally strong.

rhr057: GEORGIANA STARLINGTON / WILD CHOIR 'Split 7"'
at the heart of georgiana starlington [website] is married couple jack and julie hines and their amazing male / female vocals harmonizing atop lo-fi blues-garage sounds. the rest of the band is filled out by a roaming cast of drifting cowboys and in the case of this release its moses archuleta (deerhunter) on drums and trey lindsay (gaye blades) on bass. compared to their first 7", this one benfits from the full band and has a much more textured aproach. wild choir, on the flip side, are a bit of a mystery to me but when jack and julie played me 'cryin over you' the split made perfect sense. they actually sound a lot like georgiana starlington but with the rock turned up to 11 and the country turned down to 2. the soulful in-the-red vocals could rival otis redding in delivery and any black lips tune in attitude. recorded on tape by jarvis woods. [500 pressed; black vinyl]

rhr048: SIDS 'Winter' -repress
last year we pressed up a limited seasonal 7" with two driving punk tracks from SIDS [website]. as promised, we've repressed it for your 2009 holidays. on paper its a xmas record but in typical SIDS' fashion the synth keyboards, darkly delivered vocals and creepy bells are much more than topical and worth repeat listens throughout the year. the band has completely redone the artwork (we love it!!) and the repress comes on red vinyl. last year's pressing sold out almost immediately so don't miss out.

rhr056: Spencey Dude & The Doodles
If I weren't an east coast man at heart San Francisco / Bay Area is definitely where I'd want to be as they seem to be the obvious forerunners for the 'best local scene' award. With acts like Nobunny, Hunx, Personal & The Pizzas, Rantouls, Ty Segall, Skipper, Buzzer, etc. etc. they've really been cranking out the hit singles lately. So here's another San Fran band to add to the list: Spencey Dude & The Doodles [website] !!! This, their debut release, contains four amazing pop songs so instantly contagious that we could have split them up over 2 singles and sold 'em like crack but we just couldn't wait to get these out. No worries, we've heard their other 'un-released' stuff and can safely say there's no load-blowing here. Expect many more hits from Spencey Dude. Recorded by Greg Ashley (Gris Gris) and including members of Gris Gris and Dutchess & The Duke. [700 pressed; black vinyl]

rhr055: Predator
Predator's [website] roots can be traced back to a much earlier day of Atlanta punk when Douchemaster had just begun assembling its initial roster and Die Slaughterhaus was still run by Black Lips. At this time Brannon Greene and Mike "Bison" Beavers were just old enough to buy their own beer but were cranking out brilliant harcore punk under the name Frantic, a band that could have rivaled Carbonas if the circumstances were any different. They would also be a founding part of Beat Beat Beat, but in it's demise they would join forces with John Necro and summon up the same youthful attitudes and dark ingenuity they once nailed in Frantic. Within a few short months this trio has become forerunners in the Atlanta punk scene; and, not only is this 3-song e.p. a testement to that, its not the only card up their sleeves. Their LP (forth-coming on Douchemaster) is basically in the can and has a spot waiting for it on our year-end list. Until then, rob's house is pleased to wet your appetite with Predator's debut 7", mastered by Dave Rahn, with art by GG King (so you know its good!). [700 pressed; black vinyl]

rhr054: GG King - Drug Zoo 7"
another new offshoot from members of carbonas and if you heard their first single on douchemaster you might even think it was the carbonas but this one strays pretty far from that tested sound. 'drug zoo' finds gg king mixing a bit of his name sake's influence with early aussie punk, a few hints of black metal and, to really mix things up, a box tops cover!! a few people might have heard these songs on gg's last of the night wiggers demos but here they are remixed, mastered and on vinyl! [800 pressed; black vinyl; 100 copies with numbered gg king poster. 100 repressed, black vinyl.]
