From the streets of Los Angeles, this band manages to combine all of the best elements of garage and punk.

BN 014-1 LP $8.40
BN 014-2 CD $8.90
The first album from this Jay Reatard (of, duh, THE REATARDS) project, and a much more diverse sound. You still got some garage punk rave-ups, but there's also a very dark, evil-sounding keyboards/guitar brew that seems to have more in common with black metal, angular, new-wave-ish romps and more, all with an extremely psycho, outta control attitude and creepiness.

LOUDMOUTHS / VALENTINE KILLERS
MTR 382-7 7" $4.00

Their first all-new studio album in 2 years!

ME FIRST AND THE GIMME GIMMES
"In Your Barcalounger"
VIRUS 226-7 7" $4.00

"Made in Japan"
MR 102-1 LP $9.60
This sweaty, action-packed performance went down in their native Sweden (sorry, not Budokan!), was broadcast on Swedish national radio, and features some of THE NOMADS greatest blasting hits and also a few ultra-rocking covers of THE DICTATORS, ALEX CHILTON, and THE LYRES!

"The Great Brain Bake-Off"
SV 24-2 CD $8.00
This aptly named dumbcore outfit began life as long ago as 1984, and seems to have become only more totally retarded over the years, as this new recording so clearly shows. Amazingly stoopid brain damage. (SMOG VEIL)

VIRUS 230-1 LP $8.85
VIRUS 230-2 CD $10.50
Their 2nd album of mean-ass, sicko thug-core, and a sordid mix of the AmRep sound (TAR, HALO OF FLIES, KILLDOZER, etc.), AC/DC, SKYNYRD, and ol' fashioned BLACK FLAG hardcore. (ALTERNATIVE TENTACLES)

An over-the-top, garagey take on heavy '70s rock a la AC/DC, complete with swagger and retardo wrestling references, from this bunch of Australian goofballs (rumored to be moonlighting from a well-known band). Also includes a cool CD-ROM clip. Australian import. (BRAIN SALAD SURGERY)

"A Hole Where the Heart Once Beat"
P 062-2 CD $10.20
Made up of York, PA hardcore/punk veterans of the bands THE ARMED CITIZENS, GFNC, and TAP AND DIE, this converges those sounds. A frustrating CD to describe, as the music goes from 0 to 100 in a second, and the lyrics go from desperation to anger in a word. Harsh vocals deliver the angst, with a great, interwoven two-guitar sound, smatterings of effects, and powerful drumming combine to create a very interesting hardcore punk band which can dish out some "big rock" from time to time. (SCOOCH POOCH)

SNS 004-7 7" $4.50
UK spikes'n'studs veterans SPECIAL DUTIES take another turn on the 33 rpm merry-go-round with a new track ("I Wish It Could Be '77"), and a cover of "Gary Gilmore's Eyes."
