WARM RED- Decades Of Breakfast - n/a - STATE LAUGHTER RECORDS

click to enlarge First album by ripping band from Atlanta/Georgia. Tense and freaky Post-Punk meets abrasive Noise-Rock, equally as thundering and crushing as being catchy and infectious. A sound inbetween the JESUS LIZARD and the current crop of popular Post-Punk bands like METZ, etc. The CHINESE STARS could serve as a good reference... Awesome!

WARP- Traffic Control - LP - THRILLING LIVING RECORDS

click to enlarge Real fucking Punk from San Francisco. Rude and raw, frenetic and furious, wild and ass-kicking. Fronted by an energetic female singer. Comparisons can be made to VEXX, but there's lots more to it. Reminiscent of the days when Punk was still original, and every band had a distinctly individual sound... Listen to all 10 songs, and be blown away. A just fucking awesome record (with lyric-sheet included). https://thrillingliving.bandcamp.com/album/traffic-control-12

WASTE MAN- One Day It'll All Be You - LP - FEEL IT RECORDS

click to enlarge First LP by this band from New Orleans. Delivering a pretty cool and strong brand of Punk, whose sound draws influences from mid-80s SST-bands like the MEAT PUPPETS and SACCHARINE TRUST, dragged thru' the psychic swamps of Louisiana. And it also reminds me of bands like LIFTER PULLER or the REPLACEMENTS...
LP comes with insert and download-code included. https://wastemannola.bandcamp.com/

WASTED- Modern Lie - LP - SABOTAGE RECORDS

click to enlarge Classic Punkrock from Finland. 10 songs, hymnic and energetic. An early 80s sound, reminiscent of british bands like CHELSEA... https://combatrockindustry.bandcamp.com/album/modern-lie

WE ARE- Forestal Phonemes - CD / LP+CD - HAMMERSTATT

click to enlarge A band from the black forest, whose 9 songs here could be described as being somewhere in between that Indie-Emo-Rock type of thing as known from labels like SADDLE CREEK, and the Post-Punk rockiness of the THERMALS. Indie-Rock with a steady drive, melodies and a touch of melancholy. Could be also called the southgerman answer to bands like THE NATIONAL, KINGS OF LEON, etc... LP comes with CD-version included, but the CD can be bought alone as well (to whomever this may make sense). www.myspace.com/wearetomjud

WE ARE- Lilli - 12"+CD - FUCKING KILL RECORDS / HAMMERSTATT

click to enlarge Following the "Forestal Phonemes" LP from 2010, here's 3 new songs (with a full playing-time of 14 minutes) by this Post-Punk band from the black forest. Indie/Alternative Rock with a dynamic drive, not unlike bands such as the THERMALS... and partly it also reminds me of BIG COUNTRY. Vinyl comes with the CD-version included! http://fuckingkillrecords.bandcamp.com/album/f-k-r-27-we-are-lilli-12-mini-lp

WEDDING DRESS- Desperate Glow - LP - LOVITT

click to enlarge First full album by this band from Chicago, featuring members of MAPS&ATLASES, SUNS and JOAN OF ARC. But the music here is distinctly different from those other bands: 11 songs of beautifully sparse and fresh, and hard to categorize modern-type Pop-Rock. If you dig bands like TV ON THE RADIO, be sure to check this out! LP comes with a download-code included.

WEIRD NIGHTMARE- s/t - CD / LP(COL.) - SUB POP

click to enlarge Solo-Album by METZ singer/guitarist Alex Edkins. Upbeat and uplifting, distortedly blasting pop-songs, with a sure sense for classic songwriting filled with harmonies and hooks. 10 songs on this album, reminiscent of Bob Mould's SUGAR and GUIDED NY VOICES. Limited first LP-pressing on coke-bottle-green vinyl.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE FOR? - s/t - LP - ALIEN TRANSISTOR

click to enlarge Good question and a great band. Project from Munich, initiated by artist Anna McCarthy (singer, and obviously English) and musician/producer Manuela Rzytki, joined by Paulina Nolte on backing-vocals and Tom Wu on drums. Not only because of the line-up, they remind me of TROPICAL FUCK STORM. It's a rare combination of contemporary Punk energy, irresistible grooves, soulful Funkyness, an absurdist dry humour, and the power to create a party with their music. Lots of influences soaked up here, from Punk and Techno to Trip Hop, and as the label perfectly describes it: They sound like illicit lovechild of Tom Tom Club and Throbbing Gristle, displaying the ideal balance of hip shaking vibes and dark provocative content.
LP comes with fullcolor innersleeve, fullcolor lyric-sheet, and download-code included.

WHY BOTHER?- A Year Of Mutations - LP - FEEL IT RECORDS

click to enlarge Rowdy Punk from Mason City, Iowa (not to be confused with the polish band of the same name, who recently released an LP on Antena Krzyku). A sound taking the classic early Midwest-US Punk approach, adding spacey synths and darker Post-Punk moments to it. Something like a Garage-Punk DEVO thing, not unlike SET-TOP BOX. This LP contains a collection of 13 tracks, previously released on limited edition cassettes and lathe-cut 7"s, all sold-out, and all remastered. Comes with lyric-sheet and download-code included. https://whybotheriowa.bandcamp.com/album/a-year-of-mutations
