    BUILDINGS, THE

    Death & Fun

    [engl] The Buildings come from Cáceres - Spain -, they are noise, beer, love, 3-minute-songs and 12-hour-nights. Strange beings in perpetual motion, imperceptible to the human eye but deafening to the hearing. After a successful 45 released in 2013 that took them to a tour all around Spain and to radio stations from all over the world, these young punks are back with an album wisely produced by Alex Pis (Ídolos del Extrarradio) of stunning brilliance. Self-penned compositions from rabid punk shots to noise litanies and dreamy pop, all wrapped in a killer artwork by Carlos González.

    DEALERS, THE

    Turning Upside Down

    [engl] Two sold-out 45s and one of the best Spanish albums in decades can be found in the cv of this outstanding Basque combo. Now they are back with new songs recorded at Circo Perrotti analogue studios last Christmas in which they return to their r&b roots with three self-penned stompers of pure 60's freakbeat-r&b full of wild harmonicas, acid guitars and echoes of the Pretty Things, Downliners Sect, Crawdaddys or Headcoats. Their best 45 so far, and that's pretty much!

    IMPOSIBLES, LOS

    Red

    [engl] Brand new album (their seventh lp) by legendary Los Imposibles. Almost 30 years after their first gig, the most infamous inhabitants of Madrid's r&r neighbourhood of Malasaña announced they were back with not one but two albums! The first one of which is here now. “Red!” shows us the wildest side of Los Imposibles, “Red!” is untamed rhythms, primary stomps, fuzzy melodies, sex, fire, anger and desire... “Red!” is not a record for rainy days, it's a record to get ready for action on a Saturday evening, to go crazy, jump, dance and live.

    KING JARTUR & HIS LORDS

    Ah De La Almena!!

    [engl] King Jartur & His Lords were born a few years ago as a side project while Los Immediatos took a break, just for fun playing covers of garage, pop and beat classic numbers that resulted in two enjoyable 45s, one for French label Tryptic and another one for Bickerton, but hey, things are getting serious. The king and his lords have been called up for duty to fight against hispter garage and non-sense noise, they have accepted their godspel mission and face such a fearsome battle gripping this "Ah de la Almena!!" as only weapon. A collection of self-penned compositions full of hip-shaking tunes to recover faith in fun r'n'r, with crazy stories of surfing monsters, medieval frat-rock, palace dance beat and garage shots to shout with one beer mug in one hand and a turkey drumstick in the other one. Join the crusade! Join the party!

    KING JARTUR & HIS LORDS

    Summer Fun

    [engl] Our lord and his brave knights are back! Their vinyl heroic deeds are worldwide known: two heartfelt tributes to their pop & garage heroes released as 45s by Tryptic & Bickerton some years ago (both sold out now) and a fantastic first album “Ah de la Almena!!” in 2015 that placed them among Spanish top bands if you're talking about frat-rock, garage and surf-pop. But the party can't stop so King Jartur & His Lords have decided to charge against boredom and give us the perfect soundtrack for the fortcoming summertime. They fit themselves in their coats of mail, changed their horses for surf boards and here they are again. The band from Toledo give us four new surf-pop hits, three self-penned compositions plus an ace cover of the timeless classic “Anywhere The Girls Are”. Pure ambrosia for beach sounds fans in a killer artwork by Roberto Argüelles.

    MADCAPS, THE

    Slow Down

    [engl] It’s now three years that the Madcaps have been roaming France and its neighboring lands with their pearly, Italian guitars and their champagne old drums. With 150 shows under their belts, they managed to save up enough to head back to Kerwax recording studio, analog Mecca of Western France. While there they churned out their third album, Slow Down, recorded live with all four Madcaps together in the same room, all in an effort to capture on wax the energy from six months of touring that shaped this album. If the first two albums were more the brainchild of lead singer Thomas, Slow Down evens things out with Bastien and newcomer Wenceslas asserting themselves as both singers and songwriters. Despite personnel changes and new musical directions, the Madcaps have never sounded more unified. They continue to gouge out their own particular rock and roll groove while leaving behind the adolescent garage of their beginnings. The pop melodies are still there, but the songs are more stripped down and spacious, leaving room for horns, piano, organs, congas and acoustic guitars, hitting by turn shades of rhythm and blues, soul, country western, and even calypso.

    SHAMBLES

    Radio Daze. The Pyles Sessions

    [engl] Los Shambles were one of the best sixties flavoured powerpop bands from the 90's and the 2000's, not only in their home California but all over the world. True heirs of the legendary mod revival band Manual Scan, their talented songwriting and in-depth knowledge of pop history made its rare recordings a treasure for all pop fans, we are sure you know it. So it is a great honour for Bickerton Records to unearth these late recordings of the band that never before saw the light of day. Here you will find three classic Shambles numbers re-recorded live on May 27, 2007 at Strate Sounds Studios in San Diego for DJ Tim Pyles Radio Program, a unique opportunity to get these Shambles anthems in a rawer and more energetic version .Also you will find "More Than This", the last song ever recorded by the band in 2006, previously unreleased on vinyl. This is a 300 copies limited edition black vinyl 45

    TRUE STORIES

    Pop

    [engl] Bart Medoza is, undoubtedly, one of the greatest pop songwriters America has given us in the last three decades, as he has proved along the years as the leading force behind Manual Scan and then The Shambles. Now he is back with a new project, True Stories, where he has joined some usual suspects from San Diego, including long-time friend David Fleminger (Manual Scan). After a cd released in the U.S.A and a few appearances in tribute albums all over the world, here we have their first vinyl 45 with a selection of their finest moments, probably some of the best songs ever penned by Bart. Classic powerpop shots with a Zombiesque organ sound here and there, sublime stuff.
