Ha Ha Tonka

With a "Bible in one hand, broken bottle in the other" (Spin June '09) Ha Ha Tonka return with their sophomore effort on Bloodshot Records, Novel Sounds of the Nouveau South. The album takes listeners on a complex tour of the South—through lynchings and mob violence, sacrifice and reconciliation. It’s dense subject matter for any artist, but delivered beautifully on this record by these native sons of the Ozarks from Springfield, Missouri.

Animals & Men

Primitive post punk from Somerset England. Releasing some d-i-y singles in the 79-82 era A&M were the type of band that was played on Peel in its heyday. Rarely playing live Animals and men transformed into the Terraplanes and experimented with a classic rock and roll sound.

Slug Guts

In the first four months of the band Slug Guts recorded their first LP Down on the Meat which was released on Stained Circles Records (Jay Reatard, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Dirtbombs).

The Cubical

The Cubical are coming and you better run for cover! This ostensibly blues/garage band will provide the long overdue kick in the teeth that the music scene has been desperately crying out for. Drawing on influences from the world of blues, jazz, folk and good old rock n roll this band truly have done their homework. Their debut album Come Sing These Crippled Tunes recorded in Hollywood by the Grammy award winning producer Dave Sardy (Oasis, Jet, Marlyn Manson) pulls the listener by the lapels and drags them on a journey from the staccato heart pounding sounds of 60s psych (Beefheart...

Magnetix

After some experiences with surf music, and then playing alone in various musical genres with bands like Catchers, Hero X'S, the pitiless Looch Vibrato made use of his crazy talents ,(not lacking in vice), to corrupt innocent creatures,his weapon of choice being rock'n'roll. He captured his prey- Aggy Sonora in 1998. But the innocent charm of Miss Sonora quickly lets her appear as a Queen of the Bad Beat and the primitive concerts of the years 1950-60. Out of this unhealthy magic from The Magnetix (Looch Vibrato, Guitar /Aggy Sonora, drums) will come a new expression - " Rock Monster".
