"Boogie Hammer - the new hard hittin' piledriver from Vienna, Austria bring the flash and grandeur of mid century rock 'n' roll as well as the audacity and coolness of timeless outlaw icons like Steve McQueen and Joan Jett. Catchy songs and uptempo grooves that will shake your soul. Formed in the dungeons of Arena Wien by Rock ‘n’ Roll Original D. Vacuum (Genocide SS, The Accidents) the band has already gathered a strong following in their hometown and is now ready to take on the world!

7" EP # 3 from mr. Stabsaugers Boogie Hammer as usual punky boogie rock. Main influcenes early Discharge and early Status Quo…one can hear that…

All (not so quiet) on the eastern front. Already the 4th 7" EP by D. Staubsaugers Boogie Hammer. 3 brandnew songs of kick ass Boogie Rock spiced up with some good ol' Punk Rock.

If you want to know what Modecenter is all about, you can't just listen to their music. You have to turn off your mind and give in to the raw musical energy of sometimes minimalistic, sometimes megalomaniac noisy post-punk that doesn't want to be held back by any set beliefs or ideologies. Instead of a comfortable place in the line at your local wholefoods store you get a punch to the face for looking away for too long. Since starting out two years ago they released a demo tape and amassed an underground following of highly intelligent cultists that unfortunately can't be satisfied properly in times of a global pandemic. Fear not though, because instead of waiting around for the global market to recuperate they decided to record their first full-length record in cooperation with A-Lo Records/Numavi Records, which will be unleashed this spring. If you are able and willing, Modecenter can give you your dose of highly effective European crisis-rock.

In 2009 Swede Dan Wall (D. Staubsager) moved to Vienna, Austria. Only little bit later he started ANSTALT to provide high-energy Punk'n'Roll which was really needed here. Fast forward some years and yet we have 7" EP #6 titeled "Anger". Sounds like a clash of Brutal Knights, New Bomb Turks, Poison Idea & Hellacopters spiced up again with Motörheadism. Again a supercool Cover included this time Dicks - Hate The Police.

"Outpunking The Punks" is a compilation of the first three 7" EP, all out of print now and 4 new cuts including a great WIPERS-cover. It's a 32 minute blast! Anstalt was founded by D. Staubsauger (Genocide SS & The Accidents) in Vienna, Austria were he is residing since the lae 2000s. File under MOTÖRPUNK!!!

The tape was released for our 5 year anniversary show/party (and Anstalts 10 year anniversary!) @ Venster 99 (30.12.2019) in Vienna. Anstalt played aong with FS MASSAKER and the then brandnew MODECENER (played their 2nd show). We pressed out of 'em some demo recordings and a complete live show from 2009 recorded at now defunct club Schlawiner. Fun fact: one D.Eater was on guitar duties wth Anstalt then...now in Muscle Barbie & Modecenter.

The label name seems to be a godfather of this album, as one hears how all sounds are freed from their tight corset, but from the beginning: At the core FS Massaker consists of Michael Masen (saxophone), Werner Thenmayer (drums) and Richie Herbst (analog synthesizers), all of whom are no lonely troublemakers in the local music scene: There are direct connections to Interstellar Records, Regolith, Sex On The Beach and Melt Downer. As diverse as the sound worlds reflected by those names may suggest is in fact FS Massaker. Undoubtedly rooted in free jazz they enrich their sound with high energy rock, atmospheric surfaces, jagged techno rhythms and, an on ""Plan B"", with guests like Elise Mory (möström, Gustav, Nitro Mahalia) and Wolfgang Möstl (Killed by 9V Batteries, Mile Me Deaf). A neat program for a LP, but nothing is overloaded on this album. Every single sound researcher is given enough space to expand his/her sound waves and walls to manifest - and tear down again at the right moment. Quite simply, the record offers three pieces of improvisation: the first is dedicated to Diana Wagner-Boyd, the second to Glenn Randell Jr., the third to Dan Coffey. Anyone who suspects unsung heroes from the jazz underground behind this names is on the wrong track. In fact, they stand for stuntmen/women from the film and television history and are much more fitting to the sound auf FS Massaker than the usual commercially obtainable music servants. The trio treads the improvisation with the most risk-taking paths, in which the failure, the accident, the accident stunt always implys real and genuine risks. And yet on ""Plan B"" you have to do with an accident-free trip. Probably the plan A has fallen victim. Nobody has to hold back here, but those involved know when silence says more than shooting one's mouth off. So not everything is lost in an impenetrable bulge of loud chaos - as one has sometimes learned to fear from other free jazz bands - but rather culminates on a mountain of noisy magic. FS Massaker do not refer to the infantile equation ""increasing volume = maximizing profit"", but rather to Sun Ra's cosmic voyages, Naked City's targeted attacks, Peter Brötzmann's machine gun fire and the imperturbability of the Flying Luttenbachers. ""Plan B"" spans the arc from waking up slowly through the first rays of sunshine, to approaching a new day, to the motivated march through the discobeat, to the cathartic culmination of an orgiastic feast, where the end is stoically beamed into distant galaxies. A trip that is offered in any travel brochure for a flat rate, but one that you have to listen to yourself.

Carambolage war eine der ersten deutschen Frauenrockbands. Sie galt Anfang der 1980er Jahre als Vorreiterin des sogenannten „Lipstickfeminismus“. Die Band gründete sich 1979 in Fresenhagen im Umfeld von Ton Steine Scherben. Britta Neander war vor, während und nach Carambolage zeitweise Percussionistin der „Scherben“. Angie Olbrich stieß als 14-jähriger Trebeteenie aus dem Rauchhaus bereits 1972 in Berlin zu den Scherben, wo sie eine feste Beziehung mit dem Bassisten Kai Sichtermann verband, mit dem sie auch die gemeinsame Tochter Lisa hat. Elfie-Esther Steitz-Praeker kam als Schwester des zweiten Frontmannes der Scherben, R. P. S. Lanrue nach Fresenhagen. Olbrich, Neander und Steitz brachten sich das Musizieren teilweise selbst bei, teilweise wurden sie von Mitgliedern der Ton Steine Scherben unterrichtet. Die drei Gründerinnen fanden bereits 1977 zusammen, begannen aber erst ab Oktober 1979 unter dem Namen Carambolage aufzutreten. Nach guten Kritiken ihrer ersten produzierten Demotapes durch den „Zensor“, so wurde Burkhardt Seiler, Inhaber des gleichnamigen einflussreichen Plattenladens in Berlin genannt, und einem erfolgreichen Auftritt im Kreuzberger Szene-Lokal SO36 gingen Carambolage zum ersten Mal auf Tour, die sie durch die ganze BRD, nach Italien und Österreich führte. Im Sommer 1980 nahmen sie im Fresenhagener Studio der David Volksmund Produktion ihre erste selbstbetitelte LP auf.

Karma Sutra were an anarcho pacifist band from Luton, Bedfordshire who formed in the early 80’s after the demise of the legendary the Phallic Symbols. Karma Sutra only had one release at the time - an album self released in 1987 called Daydreams of a Production Line Worker which came towards the end of their lifetime. Sealed Records now release the earlier years of demos and compilation tracks on a 15 track round up. Be Cruel with Your Past and all Who Seek to Keep you There includes their first and primitive demo The New Economy Roast from 1983. It’s very basic and has a Bullshit Detector Compilation quality to it. A few years later came the second demo Shoppers Paradise which is the best material Karma Sutra recorded. Six tracks of well produced classic 80’s Anarcho punk with a driving sound. It’s passionate, tuneful and politically aware. How this wasn’t released at the time on vinyl, is a travesty. Also included is two tracks from the Mortarhate Compilations Who? What? Why? When? Where? and We Don't Want Your Fucking Law!. Finally the last three tracks were from the final line up of the band and were recorded with Spon from UK Decay adding more post punk elements to the sound. The LP comes with a 40 page booklet of Lyrics, handouts, fanzine interviews and statements.

New album, swedish raw punk with Totalitär, Avskum and Makabert Fynd members !!!

Hurtling along at the speed of global rage, and merging the best of crossover metal and hardcore from ‘80s Japan, Sweden and UK, Tempter brings a new voice to a legendary sound. It should come as no surprise that the group is comprised of hardcore veterans whose collective pedigree includes bands such as Candy, Division of Mind, Nosebleed, Ekulu and more. Standouts “Sacricide” and “Pestilence,” built on pulverizing riffs and apocalyptic solos, bookend the S/T EP while “Uniformed Madness” and “Night Terror” barrel toward impending doom with the speed of a buzzsaw. Mixed by Fucked Up’s Jonah Falco, the production distills crushing noise and acidic atmospheres and provides a fitting backdrop for vocalist Valentina Lopez’s showstopping and varied performance. “La Lluvia,” with its use of samples and layers of synths, dances around spoken word sections that read out a poem of the same name by Roberto Bolaño, one of Chile’s greatest writers: “ahora puedes llorar y dejar que tu imagen se diluya En los parabrisas de los coches estacionados a lo largo Del paseo marítimo. Pero no puedes perderte.” “Right now you can cry and let your image dissolve on the windshields of cars parked along the boardwalk. But you can’t lose yourself.” Bolaño’s work fits perfectly with the biting satirical punk mood that Lopez exudes with every breath. He often questioned the privilege of making art while the junta would torture people in basements. Hardcore, punk and metal often presents itself as a political act more than music, whether in its DIY ethic or protest lyrics. However, perhaps we find it too easy to fall into its angry embrace and eat each other alive whilst the world outside continues to fall. This music makes hell on earth a little bit more bearable, but ultimately, Bolaño and Lopez call on counterculture music to have meaning and political action.

Transmission incoming… Alien sound waves have been bouncing off the side of our ship. We’ve managed to capture some of them on plastic. They seem to appear suddenly out of the vacuum. Projected by planets Beamed through stars Reflected off debris Hanging in space like dust motes Witch egg is a improvised set of songs by John Dwyer, Nick Murray, Brad Caulkins, Greg Coates & Tom Dolas. Another fired expedition out in the wilds. Recorded and mixed at Stu-Stu-Studio by John Dwyer This one is a burner designed optimally for your eco-pod sound system. When you’ve left the world behind, you will need a soundtrack while you lay in dream stasis This is it!

This album contains 8 songs that have been recorded along the years, in rooms with an average size of 15 square meters. It's a compilation of songs that were picked up for their sincerity. kind of if you took out the best pages of a diary and tried to make up a music album with it."" - Odd house"

Debut LP from the Serbian duo from Belgrad, Serbia - that throughout the last few years became already an integral band of the Twintoe family. With pleasure and warmth, we are glad to present the first full length which draws out brilliant wall of sounds, bright voices and wide ambiances with a punchy good ol' punk rock attitude. 3rd Release of VVHILE so far, though the first one to reveal MORE

The newly shorn Oh Sees waste no time in racing headlong into nightmarish battle with the mighty ORC, and wouldn’t ya know it, they’ve clawed even farther up the ghastly peak last year’s A Weird Exits stormed so satisfyingly. The band is in tour-greased, anvil on a balance beam, gut-pleasingly heavy form, nimbly braining with equal dashes of abandon and menace on this fresh batch of bruisers and brooders, hypnotically stirred into to the cauldron of chaos you’ve come to expect from, ahem, Oh Sees. Fresh blood Paul Quattrone joins Dan Rincon to form a phalanx of interlocking double drums, alternately propelling and fleet footing shifting ground to pinion Dwyer’s cliff-face guitars to the boogie. Tim Hellman keeps it swinging like a battle-axe to the eyebrows. The tunes veer towards the violence of their live shows, with a few tasty swerves into other lanes…heavy to lush, groovy to stately…throughout it remains sinister in its swaggering skulk, manic in its fuzz-fried fugues…they hit all the sweet spots the heads foggily remember, and there’s plenty to sweat over if you just hopped into the sauna. Ew. More evil….more complex…more narcotic…more screech….more roar….more whisper…there’s even more Brigid.

Maxime Smadja has held many positions of note in some of the more exceptional French underground groups of recent years. For instance, you might know him as the beastly beat keeper behind Paris Oi band RIXE or the song writer behind the ever so catchy BOSS but for those who have yet to be initiated this is CONDOR - a one man band and love letter of sorts to his homeland and the particular strain of Oi / Punk music that it started yielding well over three decades ago. Previously only available on a pair of scarcely pressed and circulated cassingles, Beach Impediment Records is ecstatic to further the circulation of these six songs on the vinyl format. Channeling the brightest moments of the classic compilation series "Chaos En France" (and really, anything else on the Chaos Productions label that's worth a damn) combined with an execution so precise and well crafted that it carries that undeniable trademark of Smadja's many other contributions to the genre of punk over his time in it due to it's attention to detail and adoration of quality. And as a special bonus this slab features an additional track that is exclusive to this release - a cover of "Vengeance" by the 80's Parisian Oi outfit D.E.M. Each record comes in a jacket featuring the stellar art of Beau Richie depicting what I'd assume must be a typical day in one of the abundant alleyways that weave through out the City of Lights, plus a killer 18" x 24" fold out poster insert.

Skillful Butchers is the new album from New York City’s Scalple, their first for Sorry State. Since Scalple’s 2018 12” on Roach Leg Records, they’ve expanded to a five-piece and changed their sound, moving toward the thrash-and-mosh dynamics of late 80s UK hardcore bands like Heresy, Ripcord, and Concrete Sox. Those bands took their inspiration from early 80s US hardcore, and just as the sound changed when those bands carried it across the pond, Scalple infuses this style with the filth, grime, and frustration they soak up walking New York City’s streets. More than just a well-timed throwback, Skillful Butchers ups their inspirations’ ante in terms of intensity and precision, and adds new wrinkles like the blistering metallic lead guitars and the crunching industrial interludes courtesy Maggot Champagne, aka Pharmakon. However you categorize it, Skillful Butchers is a great hardcore record, packed with memorable songs and riffs destined to get the pit moving as the world remembers how to mosh.

Sorry State is proud to present the debut 8-song EP from Brazil’s Lasso. These eight short, fast songs fit with the long tradition of raw and urgent hardcore punk bands from Lasso’s part of the world, but there’s more than just aggro here. Lasso’s secret weapon is the subtle death rock sensibility that cuts through their songs, manifesting in the dynamic and memorable songcraft and in the dark, melodic guitar leads that occasionally pierce the mix. Carlos Casotti’s cover art beautifully captures the tension in Lasso’s music, balancing intensity and elegance in a way that’s immediately striking, but rich in depth and detail. Like other classic bands who blended hardcore and death rock—Rudimentary Peni, Part 1, False Confession—Lasso’s music is like an eerie and intense nightmare that stays with you long after you wake up. Limited to 350 copies.

After a slew of impossible to find tapes and an excellent EP from 2018, the force at work behind HOLOGRAM finally emerges from the shadowy basements of DC with a primo LP full of wild ferocity that shatters all expectations. 9 tracks of reclusive enigmatic hardcore punk that span a lifetime... if your life was only 16 minutes long that is. Strap on your headphones and immerse yourself in the sound of melted reality.

Though famous for other things (including doing the synths on GARY NUMAN’s iconic “Pleasure Principal” album and co-writing VISAGE’s massive hit, “Fade To Grey”), Chris Payne brought THE ELECTRONIC CIRCUS to life in 1981. At the time, poised to become his next major project, the initial single “Direct Lines” gained little traction and quickly found its way to quiet obscurity. There it remained until some genius made a video using footage from Swedish film “Summer With Monika” that so perfectly fit the surging melancholy of youth’s temporary romances that the song garnered a million views and a new cult of rabid fans (me included! -Jensen). Once this synth-pop perfection enters you it will find permanent purchase and continue to be a joyous wellspring for years to come, truly a gift that keeps giving. This fully licensed official reissue comes on 150 on red and 350 on black 75gr vinyl housed in a reverse board custom die-cut glue pocket sleeve. Originally recorded in 1981 at Pebble Beach Studios in Sussex UK (also where THE ADVERTS recorded the excellent "Gary Gilmore's Eyes/Bored Teenagers single!) by Tony Harris. Remastered in 2021 by John Golden. Art and packaging based on the original 1981 design.
