Barely back from their most successful tour in over 20 years, the band returns with ACR Loco,their first album in 12 years, shortly after the two retrospective compilations Mute acr:set and ACR:BOX. "We celebrated the band's 40th anniversary," Kerr says. "Now it's about the future and the direction we're going to take." Formed in 1977, the one-of-a-kind band fused post-punk, funk, disco and avant-garde trends to create a sound of its own. The band's influence remains immense and, as the albums have progressed, ACR has become a major source of inspiration for new generations. ACR Loco is an eclectic yet coherent record, which seamlessly moves from the endless dream of the song it begins with,'Friends Around Us',to the contagious funk of'Bouncy Bouncy',to the poignant beauty of'Always in Love'and ending with the flamboyant 'Taxi Guy',a track that integrates jazz, Brazilian music and acid house in just seven minutes. Such a mix of varied sounds and influences has always beenACR's goal and this album perfectly sums up 40 years of their tastes and productions

AC/DC caught in the act on their 4-months extensive tour of the US in 1978, promoting their legendary 'Powerage' LP. Their first round of shows with Cliff Williams on bass, this still shows the band in his heyday of pure energy, starting to achieve worldwide fame for the decades to come. Recorded at the Atlantic Record Bar Convention August 8th, and broadcast by WKDF radio station, this superb shows documents the Australian rockers on fiery form.

Acid Klaus, the new collaborative solo project from songwriter-producer and Northern England cult leg-end, Adrian Flanagan (The Moonlandingz, International Teachers of Pop, Eccentronic Research Council & lots more) announces his debut concept album co-produced with his music partner in the ERC, Dean Honer titled Step On My Travelator: The Imagined Career Trajectory of Superstar DJ & Dance-Pop Producer, Melvin Harris which will be released on Yard Act's ZEN F.C. label. The album features contributions from Adrian's long-time collaborators and friends including actress, Maxine Peake, US musician and video director, Charlotte Kemp Muhl (Ghost of a Sabertooth Tiger), Maria Uzor from Sink Ya Teeth and the Bradford-born pop-noir singer (currently singing in The Specials), Hannah Hu who is joined on lap steel guitar on a track by Richard Hawley. The album is completed by a whole host of fresh and exciting artists (as well as the aforementioned Lieselot Elzinga) - there's the enigmatic Queen Bee of the Calder Valley, solo artist, Bianca Eddleston who goes under the name Soft Focus and finally from South Wales (and the current talk of the South London scene), the incredible welsh language singer-songwriter, Cat Rin.

Often over-looked, Adamantium was one of the original pioneers of what came to be Orange County’s metalcore scene of the early 2000s. Locally, From The Depths Of Depression was a highly influential album that helped propel them to be that band that touring bands did not want to play after. Released in 1998, this 25th anniversary edition is actually the first time this album has been available on vinyl since that original, ’90s pressing. To mark the occasion (as well as Indecision’s 30th), the original line-up from this record will be playing a one-off show in California this summer.

2LP Gatefold. Fire Records reissue the 1978 classic debut punk record 'Crossing The Red Sea with the Adverts' on gatefold 2LP.

"Released after an ever growing live following and the string of successful chart hits The Advert"s debut has cemented its place in punk rock history.

From the sonic Armageddon which ushers in "One Chord Wonders" through to the deliriously protracted fade of "Great British Mistake", "Crossing The Red Sea" never put a foot wrong.

Created at the height of Punk, recorded with all the venom and passion which gave the era such vitality, "Crossing the Red Sea" was at once a statement of intent and a bellow of defiance, a refusal to take anything for granted, even its own brilliance.

More than that, though, the album defined and thus became the precious moment in time when the establishment rules of rock fell away, and new ones still had to be carved out.

And by those brittle standards, the Adverts weren"t simply crossing the Red Sea, They were parting it." - Dave Thompson

Classicks is a compilation album by Alice Cooper, combining studio material from his Glam period with live recordings of his classics. One of the highlights is the great duet with Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell “Stolen Prayer”. Other songs from the late-’80s and early-’90s studio recordings are “Poison,” “Hey Stoopid,” and “House of Fire”. The live recordings includes his real classics, like “Under My Wheels,” “I’m Eighteen,” “No More Mr. Nice Guy,” and “School’s Out.” The last track is “Fire”, a cover of the Jimi Hendrix song.

Here comes a great reissue of The Allman Brothers Band’s classic album. All recordings got fully remastered and cut with help from Abbey Road Mastering Direct Metal Mastering (DMM). Pressed on 180g vinyl.

After a thirty eight year hiatus, the rejuvenated band have just completed putting the finishing touches to the first Altered Images music since the album "Bite" was released in 1983. It's an upbeat and contemporary sounding album which sounds like a natural progression of the Altered Images journey and sound, all topped with the instantly recognisable vocals of Clare Grogan. The album is produced by former Altered Images band member and acclaimed producer Stephen Lironi and features 12 songs that Clare Grogan has co-written with Stephen, Bernard Butler and Bobby Bluebell.

Altin Gün’s breakthrough debut album ‘On’ is being released on vinyl for the first time in the U.S.! This release will have a custom Stoughton vintage style tip-on jacket. It is being pressed on turquoise/white swirl vinyl.

On their debut album, Altin Gun showed what happens when you open the doors between Turkish folk songs and a dirty blend of funk rhythms, wah-wah guitars and analogue organs. Featuring their hit version of “Goca Dünya”!

The descent into darkness is a trope we find time again across history, literature and film. But there’s also an abyss above. There’s a winding white staircase that goes ever upward into the great unknown — each step, each turn, requiring a greater boldness and confidence than the one before. This is the journey on which we find Angel Olsen.

Olsen's artistic beginnings as a collaborator shifted seamlessly to her magnificent, cryptic-to-cosmic solo work, and then she formed bands to play her songs, and her stages and audiences grew exponentially. But all along, Olsen was more concerned with a different kind of path, and on her vulnerable, Big Mood new album, 'All Mirrors,' we can see her taking an introspective deep dive towards internal destinations and revelations. In the process of making this album, she found a new sound and voice, a blast of fury mixed with hard won self-acceptance.

It's with great pleasure that we announce the Swedish raw punk legends Anti Cimex have finally reached the joyful lands of Agipunk. On this record we're collecting in chronological order all the demos and the studio recording sessions that haven't been released on any official release so far. A total of 29 tracks that originally appeared on "K.A.A.S January 1982", "K.A.A.S April 1982", "En Produkt Av Dagens Skitsamhälle" tapes plus the studio session right before the "Raped Ass" 7" EP and the discarded recordings for the full length that never saw the light and eventually became the "Victims Of A Bomb Raid" 7" EP. All you Cimex maniacs out there probably already know most of the songs, but you'll definitely find a bunch of extremely obscure tracks which I bet you've never heard before. All the tracks come from the original tapes and the sound has been restored and remastered by Lasse at Ballade Studio in Copenhagen.

Since the inception of Anxious in 2016, the band has always acted with purpose. This may seem like a simple premise, but for five kids still in high school at the time, it's quite an accomplishment. Early songs were packaged in limited run demo tapes with accompanying zines and hand-dyed t-shirts. Weekends were filled with regional runs of shows outside of their Fairfield, Connecticut homebase. With this amount of effort it's no wonder that within a few years of graduation, Anxious has built a solid foundation for their debut album to flourish upon.On Little Green House, Anxious explores what it feels like to enter adulthood in unflinching detail. The Connecticut band unpacks struggles, joys, and hard-earned realizations in a way that makes them feel wise beyond their years. Anthemic songs like lead single "In April" and guaranteed sing-along "Growing Up Song" thread the often difficult melodic-hardcore needle in a way that feels both nostalgic for the emo renaissance of yesteryear and precisely built for the current moment of genre defiant pioneering.

Across its 17 tracks and 69 minutes, Pom Pom is unfiltered Ariel, featuring infectious tales of romance, murder, frog princes and Jell-O. The record sees the Los Angeles native strike it out alone, returning to the solo moniker he has adopted for well over a decade.

From demented kiddie tune collaborations with the legendary Kim Fowley (songs such as ‘Jell-O’ and ‘Plastic Raincoats In The Pig Parade’ were written with Fowley in his hospital room during his recent battle with cancer), to beatific, windswept pop (‘Put Your Number In My Phone’, ‘Dayzed Inn Daydreams’), scuzz-punk face-melters (‘Goth Bomb’, ‘Negativ Ed’), and carnival dub psychedelia (‘Dinosaur Carebears’), pom pom could very well be Ariel Pink’s magnum opus.

Speaking about the record, Ariel says that “although this is the first “solo” record credited to my name, it is by far the least “solo” record I have ever recorded.”

We are 30 years old ! The embers under the ashes caught fire again. To celebrate, we recorded 4 NEW Songs released in conjunction by KOB Records and MAD Butcher Records, the labels that many years ago had published our works.

The re-discovered third album by India’s best known psychedelic-rock ensemble, presented in its entirety. The companion piece our Atomic Forest anthology Obsession (NA 5087) Covers of Deodato, Stevie Wonder and “Spectrum,” the heaviest Indian psych-funk jam unearthed to date.
Over the course of four years, culminating in 2011, we at Now-Again Records assembled the Atomic Forest anthology
Obsession, which delved into and told the story of India’s 70s rock underground and this psychedelic ensemble’s story.
At the time we issued Obsession, we were not aware of the third album that the Atomic Forest had recorded, issued under Kanga’s name as Disco Roar. When it came to our attention, we figured that we owed it to anyone entranced by this hard-to-believe, underground, Indian rock scene to issue this, the first album that the Atomic Forest recorded.
“That Disco Roar album was the first time we were doing anything like that. It was the first thing we did. It progressed into the Hit Film Themes album. Then these guys came with more commercial potential songs (which became Obsession ’77). But originally it was just a band, the live performances that we did, that made us very popular, these simple songs,” guitarist Abraham Mammen recalls. Atomic Forest’s story stands in for the untold stories of many of India’s underground bands, bands remembered vividly by those who witnessed their performances, bands that often homemade, cassette recordings – that have been lost to time. Mammen, now a traveling preacher splitting his time between India and the United States, reflects on the unlikely reissue of the Atomic Forest’s recordings: “What’s left of the Atomic Forest? It’s just like smoke: smoke on the water.’ With the release of Disco Roar, that smoke keeps rising.

Julian Isaacs aka Auntie Pus, made a bet with his childhood friend Chris Millar (Rat Scabies of The Damned) that one of them would have a top ten record within 3 years. He of course lost that bet in less than a year as The Damned took the world by storm. Isaacs carried on with his own brand of punk and Syd Barrett inspired songs, playing with the best of the first wave of UK punk bands, and becoming frequent tour partners of bands like The Damned and The Ruts. In 1978 he finally recorded a single, featuring Rat Scabies on drums, which was eventually released with some help from the Ruts management, and did make not just into the weekly top 10 in Sounds, but "Single of the Week", and in a top 10 in Record Mirror when the Damned were pulling the reigns that week. Since then, the single has become a staple of conversations covering under the radar 70s UK DIY punk and "messthetics" type singles. This 7" is a deluxe edition with an unreleased track, artwork faithful to the original, with an accompanying insert that includes an in depth interview which should be fascinating to any fan of 70s UK punk, or fans of the Damned, photos, and more.

First Base is an album by British rock music group Babe Ruth. It was released in September 1972 and went gold in Canada, and sold very well in the US. It was their biggest success, both in terms of popular and critical acclaim. This LP defined an interesting junction between hard rock and progressive rock.

Marrying psychedelic pop with folk and a touch of country, 'Earthling On The Road To Self Love' is the sublime debut album by Brisbane, Australia-based artist Baby Cool - the latest side project by Nice Biscuit co-front woman Grace Cuell. Cuell says of the record, which follows her debut single 'Magic' and tours with Babe Rainbow and The Lazy Eyes: "The songs on this album are deeply sentimental. I have a lot I need to sing about to help me make sense of this earthly pod I have been gifted. If in singing these words out loud, I can help others find solace in knowing that we're all out here flailing about in the cosmos, then it feels good to me." Recorded with Sam Joseph (Family Jordan), the songs on 'Earthling' were brought to life with the help of Jess Ferronato (Nice Biscuit), Nick Cavendish (Nice Biscuit) and Drew Heyden (The Flamingo Jones): "I had such a beautiful community of friends that helped bring this whole thing to life. There was magic and love in every part of the process of creating this album."

“No nonsense hardcore with a punch and a pulse.” That’s how Scott Vogel (terror, Buried Alive) introduces BAD Blood, the newest project featuring the esteemed vocalist. The band formed in Buffalo, NY, after tossing around the idea of playing music together with guitarists Eric Ellman (they Live, Violent Way) and Mason Hutchins (Violent Way), bassist Greg Vinal (exhibition), and drummer Nick Terlecky (Violent Way). The result is the five brutal tracks that make up The Bad Kind Decides EP, set for release on Flatspot Records. The songs were laid down live with producer Jay Zubricky at GCR Studios and mastered by Will Killingsworth at Dead Air Studios. Taking influence from ’80s hardcore bands like Warzone and Brotherhood, BAD Blood has created a fast, in your face sound with lyrics that deal with the negativities of reality. With the release of The Bad Kind Decides, BAD Blood is packing honesty in aggression that’s set to connect from your headphones to the pit.

"Against The Grain" is screechingly released hot on the heels of the previous years punk hit `No Control" which sold so many copies, why not keep the formula untouched? The exuberance of this release is kinda tuff ta" blow off. Contains the superior original version of "21st Century Digital Boy" plus 16 more crucial cuts. A barrage of melodic, hyper-overdrive.

Spanning some eight albums and multiple line-ups, "All Ages" contains the very best of Bad Religion"s Epitaph years. It includes live versions of "Do What You Want" and "Fuck Armageddon..." with artwork that is culled from original show flyers! The lyrics sheets are also the original hand-written versions; some of which were scribed on bedroom walls!

With this album a fuse was lit, leading to an explosion that spawned a new religion: Bad Religion. How Could Hell Be Any Worse?, their second record and first LP is nothing short of genius. Shattered-glass guitar riffs, fast, furious drums, and a 16 year old Greg Graffin"s voice for the ages. The coalescence of lyrical intellect and savage music make for a sound seldom (if ever) heard before. The impact of this record still resonates to this day. Classic tracks like "Fuck Armageddon...This Is Hell," "American Dream," and "The Voice Of God Is Government" are as crucial and socially lucid as the day they were created in a southern California garage. When the greatest punk records of all-time are discussed, How Could Hell Be Any Worse? is sure to be mentioned. Reissued on clear & black marble vinyl to celebrate the 40th anniversary!

"No Control" is one of the albums that helped bridge the band"s more reckless earlier direction with their more focused (but just as pissed-off) "90s-era. The strength of such cuts as "Big Bang," "Automatic Man," the title track, and "I Want to Conquer the World." No Control is one of the bands best all-time albums and an archetypal blueprint for the genre.

Recalling the ferocity of their earliest work with the unique harmonizing qualities that've helped define a thriving gen?eration in the So. Cal Punk scene, the reunited core team of Gurewitz, Graffin and Bentley have upped the anti again in sound, volume and density. The Process Of Belief rivals and surpasses anything they've accomplished to date, emotionally, technically, and tactfully. Each of the fourteen tracks follow their own paths, embodying thoughts of discontentment and discouragement, questioning authority and humanity along the way and react with resolve, filtered with virtue, and far surpass previously trained ideas of Punk music constraint.

After “ys”, here’s the long awaited new studio album “lemures” with Gianni Leone, Riccardo Spilli And Ivano Salvatori. You will be amazed by the energy and creativity of the music and lyrics that will take you back in time but with a sound and an atmosphere that look towards the year 3000.

Deathbomb is very excited to bring Banshee's 'Fairy Metal' to vinyl for the first time ever! Her unique blend of metal and trap inspired beats captured our attention immediately. Includes a collaboration with the equally boundary pushing Backxwash. Fairy Metal is a concept album about escapism, building up walls, and Banshee's journey overcoming her fears and reclaiming a part of herself she left behind a long time ago. The album is Banshee's heaviest material to date, taking cues from Folk Metal, Black Metal, and Power Metal, while expanding on the lyrical themes Banshee has explored over the last four years, all through a high fantasy lens. Remaining true to her previous work, Banshee recorded, wrote and performed all of the music on the album.

Limited edition of 500 on red vinyl reissue with DL card of the agit pop four-piece’s second album, Baby U Know. A heady collision of Raincoats-esque indie and ESG-paced rhythms fed through a kaleidoscopic pagan folk filter. The follow up to their critically acclaimed 2018 debut Yes I Jan, this release is a wordy slice of state-of-the-art social commentary wrapped in a perfectly-balanced soundscape that veers from funky minimalism to baroque dream pop. With a hint of Ari Up styled vocals backed by a harmonious chorus of concern touching on everything from incantations, essential causes and systematic shopping, all underpinned by a raking violin and bewitching electronic hum. Mixed by Capitol K at Total Refreshment Centre, ‘Baby U Know’ is a lyrical miasma examining the collapse of modern Britain from a group who have served time with Jarv Is, Meilyr Jones, The Elysian Quartet, Trash Kit and Rozi Plain among others. Bas Jan is the vehicle for well-established musicians Serafina Steer, Emma Smith, Charlie Stock and percussionist Rachel Horwood.

A stone"s throw from the church where Desmond Tutu organised the escape of the most wanted anti-Apartheid activists of Soweto, Bcuc rehearses in a shipping container-turned-community restaurant, where their indomitable outspokenness echoes in a whole new way. Like its elders, Bantu Continua Uhuru Consciousness sees its music as a hedonistic trance, but also as a weapon of political and spiritual liberation. "Millions Of Us" is their first full-length album and most ambitious work to date - distilling their magic on record, summoning mainstage festival-energy and stewing down, casting spells for the intimate audience.

The Flying Club Cup is the second studio album by Balkan folk-influenced band Beirut, originally released on October 9, 2007.

Wide Open Light Is a family of songs I've written. I've selected them with the care one might put into a personal photo album. To that effect, I'd call it a sonic family photo album, each track a close relative to the next. The story behind this record is simple. I have been writing songs now forover 30 years. It's what I long to do, love to do, and at times feel I need to do, and hope to continue doing until the ink runs dry and the notes fade. But for now, Wide Open Light. Deliberately minimalist, the songs themselves do as much of the heavy lifting as the production. (produced by myself, and my longtime collaborators Danny Kalb and Jason Mozersky) Featured guests on the album include: Jack Johnson guitar, vocals on 'Gone For Good'. Shelby Lynne vocals on '8 Minutes'. Piers Faccini vocals on 'Wide Open Light'.

The third LP from the New Zealand quartet houses 12 jewels of tight, guitar-heavy songs that worm their way into your head, an incandescent collision of power-pop and skuzz. The Beths wanted to make an album meant to be experienced live, for both the listeners and themselves. They wanted it to be fun - to hear, to play - in spite of the prickling anxiety throughout the lyrics, the fear of change and struggle to cope.

Toronto-based punk rockers Billy Talent released their fifth studio album
Afraid of Heights in 2016. Preceded by the strong singles “Afraid of
Heights”, “Louder than the DJ” and “Ghost Ship of Cannibal Rats”, the
album became both a critical and a commercial success. It hit number 1
on the album charts in several countries including their native Canada.
It is the first album with drummer Jordan Hastings (of Alexisonfire
fame), after drummer Aaron Solowoniuk announced he would not be
able to play drums for the foreseeable future due to a multiple sclerosis
relapse. However, Solowoniuk very much remained part of the band
and was involved in the recording of the album. It was a new chapter for
Billy Talent, but the trusted high-energy punk rock that they are known
for remains more than solid. Just listen to the thumping “The Crutch” or
the introspective epic “Rabbit Down The Hole”.
The album is available on black vinyl. It is housed in a UV matte finished
gatefold sleeve, which also contains a 4-page booklet.

To commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of Virginian salsa veterans Bio Ritmo, esteemed indie Merge is reissuing their debut 7" `Piragüero' which it originally released back in 1996. This impassioned, funky original is backed with a cover of `Asia Minor', a song popularised in the Fifties by Cuban maestro Machito, himself a cited influence on Bio Ritmo.

The tenth studio album by Bjork on cassette tape.

each album always starts with a feeling
that i try to shape into sound
the feeling was landing
( after my last album utopia which was all island in the clouds element air and no bass )
on the earth and digging my feet into the ground
it was also woven into how i experienced the "now"
this time around 7 billion of us did it together
nesting in our homes quarantining
being long enough in one place that we shot down roots
my new album "fossora" is about that
it is a word i made up
it is the feminine of fossore ( digger, delver, ditcher )
so in short it means "she who digs" ( into the ground )
so sonically it is about bass , heavy bottom-end ,
we have 6 bass clarinets and punchy sub
i would like to especially thank bergur þórisson and heba kadry
and side project , el guincho , hamrahlíð choir , soraya nayyar , clarinet sextet murmuri , siggi string quartet ensemble , emilie nicolas , serpentwithfeet
viibra and last but not least : sindri and dóa .
visuals were made by viðar logi , james merry , m/m , nick knight , andy huang , edda , isshehungry , tomi , sayaka , sunna , sara and heimir

Pressing Info: 180g sky blue vinyl. Staples of the Scandinavian psychedelic underground since they formed back in 2008, Helsinki's Black Lizard are returning with their fourth album 'Heads'. Due out June 3rd on Fuzz Club, the new album arrives following 2018's 'Celebration Of A New Dawn', several tours around Europe, collaborations with Anton Newcombe and Sonic Boom, and shared stages with the likes of Brian Jonestown Massacre, Diiv, Allah-Las, The Horrors and many more. Talking about the record, their first piece of new music in four years, Black Lizard said: "We have been working on 'Heads' for the past few years, taking our time. The main theme on this record is going forward in life and getting better. From the more 60s psych of 'Celebration Of A New Dawn' we've gone for a more straight-up garage-rock sound on this one." The resulting 'Heads' LP sees raw, fuzzy guitars combine with infectious echo-soaked vocals and driving rhythm sections to create a record that trades in a timeless rock'n'roll hedonism.
