ALE MANIA- A, Who Sings That Beat? - n/a - VOLAR RECORDS

click to enlarge Following their great single, here's the first full-length album by this band/project from San Diego, featuring ex- and current members of the SESS and BEATERS! A very eclectic album, containing 13 songs, ranging from an 80s-like Minimal-Synth approach, to Post-Wave and Electro-Pop like FUTURE ISLANDS, and some similarities to PPM-related artists like SMALL BLACK or SILK FLOWERS, and then back again to fuzzy Garage-Rock songs. My personal impression is that with some of the songs here, I feel reminded of ROXY MUSIC...
Limited edition with 400 on black, 100 on orange vinyl, and ALL of the copies we did get are on orange vinyl! http://alemania.bandcamp.com/

ALE MANIA- Lustfulfistful/Vomitpig - 7" - VOLAR RECORDS

click to enlarge First single by this band/project featuring members of the BEATERS, released in a limited edition of 500 copies. Actually it's almost the same line-up as with the BEATERS, but switching instruments, and trading the angry vein of the BEATERS songs, for a more fun-filled and danceable nature. www.myspace.com/wearealemania

AUDACITY- Ears And Eyes - 7" - VOLAR RECORDS

click to enlarge 4 songs by these young guys from Orange County, considered to be one of the best Californian new Punk bands (and according to VICE the best Rock'n'Roll band in the entire world...)! Full of frenzy and snottyness, close to the sound and attitude of bands like RED KROSS or DILS. Totally amazing, raging, and near to perfection in this way!!! www.myspace.com/audacityca

BEATERS- Fishage/Obamanation - 7" - VOLAR RECORDS

BLACK ORPHAN- 4Song-EP - 7" - VOLAR RECORDS

click to enlarge An obscure band from the USA, whose synth-fuelled Punk could be easily filed next to acts like BLANK DOGS or NICE FACE, but actually it reminds a whole lot more of the CHROME weirdness put into a harsh LoFi-Punk sound! Pretty cool! www.myspace.com/gucciquattro

COLD PUMAS- Fourth Date/Dawn Lobby - 7" - VOLAR RECORDS

click to enlarge Limited edition of 100 copies on BLUE vinyl! New single by this band from Brighton/UK. Super-fast and psychically kicking Post-Punk. It's noisy, but rather in a sonically ethereal way, than being heavy. Like the shoegazer-sound, but with tensely pulsating rhythms. http://coldpumas.bandcamp.com/

DIRT DRESS- Alligator Lungs/Weight - 7" - VOLAR RECORDS

click to enlarge Limited edition of 100 copies on BLUE VINYL! Great debut-single by young band from LA. Warped Garage-Pop with catchy hooks, that reminds me of the early MOONEY SUZUKI and similar stuff! www.myspace.com/dirtdress

POPE ANYTHING- Witch Tits - 7" - VOLAR RECORDS

click to enlarge Limited edition of 100 copies on BLUE VINYL! New band from Los Angeles with a droney sound that's somewhere in between 60s-Garage-Psyche-Pop and minimal Post-Punk like the early FALL. http://volarrecords.bandcamp.com/album/witch-tits-ep
