Two bands, one label, all together friends, what comes closer than releasing a SplitCD. The new songs from Call David blew me away, they are so powerful, we should have written a warning on the cover! Lie.Algebra is first time heard on record, what a great debut! Let`s get rocked and party on through the night.

Birthed in 1997, this Seattle onslaught has made its mark in musical history redefining musical styles and genres. “March On Electric Children” is their departure from independent record labels making this one of Three One G’s best sellers to date. Produced by Ross Robinson, this album is a self described short story set to music. Members went on to take part in acts such as Neon Blonde and Three One G’s Head Wound City.

Moss Icon existed in the late 80's and the early 90's. Moss Icon featured Tonie Joy from BORN AGAINST, UNIVERSAL ORDER OF ARMAGEDDON, THE GREAT UNRAVELING and THE CONVOCATION OF. This cd includes four extra tracks. Essential post hardcore/emo for fans of emo before emo became bad indie/boy rock

Recorded in 1986, this is Dead Kennedys' final studio album and these 21 tracks saw the band take a more "thrashy" edge to their sound, resulting in some of their most fast and intense tracks, and includes "Hop With The Jet Set" and "Take This Job And Shove It".

The first full length release from one Los Angeles longest running bands. Fourteen great songs like you've never heard before.Ex- Reason To Believe!

Atlanta's Snowden drown their brand of melodies in a sea of reverb-heavy distortion and hypnotic layers. This, their debut for Jade Tree, integrates the ethereal guitar resonance and dynamic percussion reminiscent of bands like Ride, New Order, and early Cure, with the volatility of contemporaries such as The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. An unpredictable mix of dirty pop soundscapes. If post-shoegaze exists as a genre, then Snowden is proving their contention for the upper ranks.

Ariel Kill Him is the work of 25-year-old David Lehnberg from Gävle, Sweden. With Named After You, his fourth album, he take this project yet another step forward. Even though this album has a more electronic sound than its forerunners, David, who also produced the album, points out that the songs are more organic and stripped down this time.

Full new (3rd) album - with Kid Millions (ONEIDA) on drums - just totally amazingly BRILLIANT!!! Different than their previous album, this record features way longer and more complex songs - it's like the ULTIMATE Noise-Rock/Art-Punk MANTRA!!!

Originally released by Swedish jazz imprint Moserobie in 2003, this live album features a special one-time performance of Swedish political punk band The (International) Noise Conspiracy in collaboration with noted jazz musicians Jonas Kullhammar and Sven-Erik Dahlberg. Live in Oslo features songs from T(I)NC«s first two albums on Epitaph, Survival Sickness and A New Morning, Changing Weather, transformed into more dreamy arrangements. While retaining the T(I)NC-ness of the original material, the band with their guest musicians improvise freely for some spaced-out jams. The fact that Dahlberg and Kullhammar, a five-time Swedish Grammy nominee, are accomplished jazz musicians is an icing on the cake of this surprise party. Reminiscent of political Dutch band The Ex's collaboration with avant garde cellist Tom Cora in the early 1990s, Live in Oslo demonstrates T(I)NC's willingness to take risks and collaborate with musicians practicing different genres to expand their sound successfully. Live in Oslo has never been available commercially in North America and is highly sought after by the bands large fanbase, making this the missing album in T(I)NC's catalog. Alternative Tentacles is proud to bring this album stateside, revealing a whole new facet to a familiar band with an established sound.

Becoming increasingly bored with exploratory facial hair configurations and fantasy baseball, Davey von Bohlen and Dan Didier of The Promise Ring called their old friend Eric Axelson, late of the fabled Dismemberment Plan, to see if he was busy. He wasn't.A few short months later, the lads, at the time called In English, found themselves signed (in real ink) to a West Coast rock-and-roll concern that fronted them decent enough cash to hire a real producer (J. Robbins) and record in a decent studio. Their songs, a gorgeous calliope of acoustic twang and horns-and-keys pop, failed to impress the label. Sometimes damn good just isn't good enough for some folks.With a record in the can and no one to put it out, the boys changed their name to Maritime and gave us a call. Our long winter's nap ended, we thought, "why not," and swayed the boys to let us release the marvelous Glass Floor.

Re-release of german Hardcore-Punk CLASSIC from 1994! 13 years after its initial release in 1994, the debut-album by the german HAMMERHEAD is available again!!! This record surely was one of the most important german Hardcore-releases of the 90s, having been on top of ZAP magazines readers-poll for one year! A non-compromising, brutal, US-influenced Hardcore-sound combined with equally-minded (mostly german) lyrics! The booklet was refused by most printers for its content, which some people interpreted as "hurting the dignity of mankind". Nonetheless the album was sold-out in a short period, and the 2nd pressing, two years later on MUFF POTTER's label, sold out in less than a year as well. So now this legendary piece of german Hardcore/Punk history is finally available again for the first time in more than 10 years! Remastered (not remixed!) for a better sound by Guido Lucas and Thilo Schenk at BLUBOX studio. LP released by X-MIST once again, with the same huge-sized booklet and cover, containing the same obnoxious and controversial artwork as with the original.

These four lads from the washington, d. c. area manage to create their unique sound that ranges between experimental, smooth and electrifying jazz tunes. instrumental rock songs devoid of any easy labels. their debut album is like a dog trying to bite off his tail while running the risk of over- taking himself. amazing! featuring members of trans Am.

The newest album by the NUMBERS - now also available as a heavy vinyl double-12" (released in the UK)! Reverbing synthesizers, insistent drumming and clear vocals mixed into a dark vision of post-modern pop-music. Think of something like KRAFTWERK filtered thru’ the roughness of SUICIDE, and with an additional subtle pop-sensibility. Maximum minimalism! The NUMBERS themselves see this album as the final transformation of their new sound – and actually it turned out to be a dozen times better than their previous “We’re Animals” album!

Three brand new songs from Severed Head of State. Two are originals, and one is a cover of "We All Die Anyway" by Appendix. Another awesome record from Severed Head of State. Featuring members of Warcry, Tragedy, His Hero Is Gone, Detestation, and World Burns To Death.

Finally out after a couple years waiting THE OBSERVERS Walk alone 7" repress finally sees the light of the day! The A-side track is driving, intense, brooding, melodic and wholly unique while the 2 songs on the B side are a perfect example of timeless catchy yet moody punk rock. The recording and production is raw but that just adds to the tension and intensity. It's somewhere between THE WIPERS, NEWTOWN NEUROTICS and THE ADVERTS. This 3 tracker is limited to just 500 copies.

For the past six years, Seattle’s Minus the Bear have orbited the music world like a distant meteor, fine-tuning their brand of indie rock and discovering how technology can help enhance the band’s unique pop vision – all of which is about to culminate with their latest full-length Planet of Ice, an album showing the band not so much transforming their sound as transcending it.

However, maybe you should be slightly afraid of the contents embedded on the disc lurking beneath our Nordic friend. See, Casually Smashed To Pieces isn’t your typical “album.” No, Kent, Ohio’s Six Parts Seven haven’t so much redefined their sound as they’ve transcended it here, bringing in new sonic elements, textures and feelings to weave a tapestry as sprawling as the Himalayas. In other words, forget what you think the disc sounds like – because, chances are, you’re wrong.

DEADWOOD DIVINE is Tom LoMacchio, a truely melancholic wonderful record which should send shivers down your spine. awesome looking silkscreened jackets, buy!

RADIO 4 takes their cues from the late '70s early '80s post punk scene (AU PAIRS, GANG OF FOUR, MISSION OF BURMA, THE CURE) and combines it with a modern dose of inspiration and style. The music is edgy, melodic and danceable all at once. Their album was produced by Tim O'Heir (SEBADOH, BUFFALO TOM, J. MASCIS). RESTOCK!!!

In their 10+ years of existence, one could say that ZAO has definitely had enough highs and lows to make for a great documentary. Now with over 200,000 records sold over their career, that time has finally come as Ferret releases the band's (and the label's) first ever DVD, "The Lesser Lights Of Heaven". This 2-disc, 6-hour DVD, is directed by Alternative Press writer and longtime friend and manager Ryan J. Downey. It captures the band from their beginnings in Greensburg, PA, and follows them as they crossover their faith-based hardcore music to the masses. ZAO tells their story in their own words in a revealing full-length documentary. It including interviews with several ex-members, A&R folks, producers and friends and a multitude of footage shot over the years by professionals and fans. This release also has, not one, but three full-length concerts, including: a full live set from this summer's Strhess Tour shot in San Diego, California; a full live set from January's Praise The War Machinetour shot in Pomona, California; and over a dozen songs from various eras. Each show is shot with multiple camera angles with sound captured from the board. In addition, there is live footage from over the years, including the infamous show where the band broke up onstage, as well as Cornerstone and Warped tour footage capturing the band in front of tens of thousands of people. The band also takes you on a tour of their hometown of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, including the parking lot of the nearby shopping mall where George A. Romero filmed Dawn Of The Dead. ZAO is wrapping up the most successful year in their history with their best album sales ever; huge tours with Unearth, Bleeding Through and Warped Tour; and an overall energy putting them in a class of their own.

The title's hard to pronounce and the music's hard to grasp, but this record is nothing less than brilliant. 79 minutes on a continuous thought.

Tell Balgeary, Balgury Is Dead is an EP built around the second single from the album, Hearts Of Oak. Apart from the title track this record consists of new solo recordings by Ted Leo - over 25 minutes of music. In addition to new songs, this EP features recorded versions of cover songs that have become live show favorites and illuminate some of Ted's inspirations, The Pogues'"Dirty Old Town," "Six Months In A Leaky Boat" by The Split Enz and The Jam's "Ghosts." This is an opportunity for fans to hear a different side of Ted Leo."

New album by canadian rocker Danko Jones! If you like your music to be fun and melodic with AC/DC and Thin Lizzy influences this is right up for you. Sometimes there is beauty in simplicity, and Danko Jones manages to take simple 1 or 2 chord songs and make them really memorable. RESTOCK!!!

Newest release from Italy's hardcore punk legends. 17 new rippers in 30 minutes, this is punk at its finest and most intense. Dedicated in mourning to Guiseppe Codeluppi, founding member and guitarist for R.P. who sadly passed away recently. VINYL VERSION!!!

On Socialize, Metal Hearts drop a mope-addled dose of bedroom rock. On which Anar's baritone lends a low foundation to Flora's airy registers. Sonically meshing together the angular bites of Long Drive-era Modest Mouse, the expansive bedroom drone of Arab Strap, and the subtle whispers of Cat Power. Limited copies on white vinyl!

Their fourth full-length and second on Touch And Go contains melodies that are more dynamic and aggressive. This record is tighter, the drumming more immediate and crisp. "Autumn Of The Seraphs" is for both rabbits and people, for good days and for bad. A bonus disc will be packaged with the first pressing of the CD, featuring three new studio songs not found on the LP.

CD-reissue of their long-lost and sadly overlooked great first album, originally released in 2000 - now finally available again!!!

The band’s first release, Turbo Mattress, is a mini LP presented on a weaponized digital CD. Forged in the shape of a Chinese star, the CD collects five songs that will force the listener to question his identity while simultaneously arming him with the band’s namesake for individual acts of lawlessness and delight. Play the CD, then hurl it at your adversaries.

"Don't Need You" is a documentary film that tells the story of the origins of Riot Grrrl in the American independent music scene of the 1990s, and how this feminist movement evolved into a revolutionary underground network of education and self-awareness through music, writing, activism, and women-friendly community.

MDC have gained a huge reputation around the world from their great live shows, their no bullshit-no compromise attitude and their memorable songs. Hailing from deep in the heart of Texas, MDC have made their best album since the early years. 18 tracks in all! Features "Destroying The Planet", "Founding Fathers", "Nazis Shouldn't Drive" and "Girls Like You Make Me Queer"

This album collects songs which were previously only available on 7" vinyl singles, as well as some new and unreleased material.

Growing advances Sleeping People as a band in every way. It's faster, more aggressive, more thoughtful and more dynamic than their debut. Engineered by Ben Moore (Hot Snakes, The Black Heart Procession), the songs are pushed to extremes, sparking an addictive adrenaline high that is ultimately eased by Rob Crow's surprise appearance at the conclusion of the album, his saccharine vocals providing a perfect, blissful freefall. Growing is Sleeping People at their most inspired. It is a document of a sometimes frantic, always fearless band who sounds best when they're only pretending to be in control. Like the band itself, Growing embraces change with an improvisational flair that is both confounding and consuming.
