Dots - 6 Songs Cassette (BLD03) Childish punk rock that brings to mind The Authorities or Angry Samoans. Crazy back-up vocal crooning, weird noisy bass lines, one finger piano parts, obscene lyrics, sloppy performance, this has all the makings of a Killed By Death classic with out being any kind of rip off. One of these clowns played in Out With a Bang, so there ya go. 100 copies. review from Maximum Rock n Roll: "Again, it's a shame that the sound quality is so bad on this because the trashy rock n roll songs are pretty catchy. These six sort of poppy songs are driven by the bass more than the drums, which are really hidden in the mix (luckily the bass lines are really catchy). The songs are completed with fuzzy guitars and snotty vocals leaving you feeling warm and in desperate need of dancing." $5 post paid in the US non-US customers email me for a shipping price |

Der Submarine Racers - 4 Song Cassette (BLD02) Lo-lo-lo-Fi trash punk, catchy like a Rip Off, noisy like a Fatal, dumb as a shit! These guys put out "the most obnoxious 7" of 2007" (I forgot who said that, apologies). This tape follows suit and has twice as many songs! 100 copies. review from Maximum Rock n Roll: Grab your beer and your dancing shoes for these four trashy, sloppy garage rock songs with snotty vocals and awful sound quality. It's a shame about the sound quality because what I can hear behind the crunch of overloaded electronics are catchy, up-tempo, three chord rock songs that actually rock and I can imagine must be witnessed live to truly be appreciated." $5 post paid in the US non-US customers email me for a shipping price |

V/A Magnetic Division (BLD01) review from Terminal Boredom: This one's been in the TB HQ tape deck for quite a bit now, so I feel bad it took me so long to spill some digital ink on it. My profuse apologies to the fine people at Bloodstain Tapes. Anyway, what you have here is six exclusive cuts from six of the sub-underground's sickest acts. Of course Live Fast Die have to make an appearance and "Thought You Could Steal My Beer" is a real shit-tastic bomber and exactly what you would expect. CPC Gangbangs forego the heavy drugs on this one and instead contribute a rolling cover of "Going Back to Philly" that sounds almost Sexareenish. Rounding out side one are the until now unknown to me White Load, who I believe are from Providence and apparently attend the same reform school as the kids in Fag Cop. Sticky, but good. Side B has a We March track that may be the pick of this tape. I've never paid them much attention, but "Rotten Goods" is some above-par heavy-punk that has me looking for their old records. The We March track was the best cut on this until I heard the Shoot It Up contribution, "Wounded Bear". I love these SIU kids, definitely the vanguard of young and irresponsible these days. Their drum and guitar rhythm section is on par with what Cook/Jones did so many years ago. I actually think the drums may be the lead instrument on this. What a wonderful mess. Toronto's Brutal Knights close this out, and although I am no fan of this band on any level, this track is actually pretty good, far burlier and less rawk than anything else I've heard from them (and I've given every one of their records an honest chance, and they fail each time). Actually, I'm not 100% positive this is actually the Brutal Knights playing this song. Could be some ringers...A real nice job from Bloodstain Records out of Massachusetts, home to another compilation we all know and love. Hopefully there will be future installments of this series. Limited to 250 copies." Copies of Magnetic Division are still available from Armageddon Shop or Sorry State Records. |
