In a time of polarised politics and murky waters; IDLES and bands like them are needed to remind people that it's ok to dance and laugh and sing in the face of adversity. Bristol’s finest post-punk polemics IDLES have been promising to do great things for some time now, and with their debut album 'Brutalism' they absolutely fulfill that promise, and a furious promise at that. Politically charged, refreshingly confrontational and infectiously volatile, IDLES are a band like no other. Bringing the unsettling reality of the world we live in into their frantic assault on the senses, they are a band that until now could only be truly understood by witnessing in a live environment - but with 'Brutalism' it surely feels like they have captured the intensity of that live sound. Bottled up here are the abrasive, memorable lyrics of Joseph Talbot delivered with all of the spite and wry humor he puts across on the stage. Dedicated in part to the loss of his mother, who adorns the record’s cover, and partly to a perceived decimation of society, from the NHS to public services across Britain, 'Brutalism' is a deadly serious indictment on popular culture. From the propulsive opener, “Heel / Heal”, and many highlights (“Well Done”, “Mother”, “Date Night”, “1049 Gotho”, “Stendahl Syndrome” just some) to the rare respite of the closer “Slow Savage”, the album marks the arrival of a true British talent – and in a musical world that can seem increasingly benign, one with so much to say.

"Fire of Love' is the no-nonsense debut from blues-punk legends The Gun Club. Formed in 1979 - when singer Jeffrey Lee Pierce taught a young Kid Congo Powers to play guitar - the band injects the Delta blues, rockabilly and '60s garage with their own amplified fury. Originally released in 1981 on Slash's sub-label Ruby Records, 'Fire of Love' features the classic second lineup with Ward Dotson on guitar (replacing Powers, who left to join The Cramps) and The Bags' rhythm section. Opener 'Sex Beat' shakes and stutters through a dynamic slab of American rock 'n' roll that reverberates throughout the album. 'She's Like Heroin to Me' is perhaps Pierce's most famous paean to modern love, elevating him to raucous demigod of the underground. Label: Munster Records Barcode: 8435008825614

Vinyl LP pressing including digital download. Archive release from the Punk legends. In early January 1988 and after only ten shows, Fugazi decided to go into Inner Ear Studio to see what their music sounded like on tape. Despite the fact that Ian, Joe, and Brendan had been playing together for nearly a year, it was still early days for the band. Guy had only been a full member of Fugazi for a few months. The sessions only lasted a couple of days, but tour dates and indecision about the tape would delay the final mix for another two months. Though the band was at first pleased with the results, it soon became clear that this tape would remain a demo as new songs were being written and the older songs were evolving and changing shape while the band was out on tour. It was decided that the session would be passed out free as cassette copies, with the band actively encouraging people to share the recording. The only song from the demo session that was formally released was ‘In Defense of Humans’, which appeared on a compilation in 1989. Now, some 26 years later, Dischord is releasing the entire first demo including the one song (‘Turn Off Your Guns’) that wasn’t included on the original cassette.

2001’s The Argument was the final Fugazi album before the band took an extended and possibly permanent hiatus. It’s easy to see why the venerated D.C. group would be comfortable closing its career here; The Argument brings its four players full circle. Guy Picciotto’s “Full Disclosure” and Ian MacKaye’s “Epic Problem” give the album two songs—one from each frontman—that reconnect to the bracing physicality that defined Fugazi in its earliest years. At the same time, the album marks the final step of the group’s long trek to extricate itself from its early punk roots. With deep dub inflections and whispering piano, “The Kill” and “Strangelight” might make listeners think that film composing should be the band’s next chapter. As has always been the case with Fugazi, the songs that blend extremes stand out from the pack. “Cashout,” “Life and Limb,” and “The Argument” join the ranks of the group’s classic songs.

This Is Your Bloody Valentine is the debut mini album by the Irish-English alternative rock band My Bloody Valentine, released in January 1985 on Tycoon Records. Recorded in West Berlin, Germany, it features the band's early gothic rock and post-punk sound, which contrasts the shoegazing sound with which My Bloody Valentine are associated. The band secured a contract with Tycoon Records after sending a demo tape they had recorded in their hometown—Dublin, Ireland— to a label associate. The demo tape included five songs, "Girl on the 13th Floor", "Halfwalk", "Last Tango in Paradise", "The Garden of Delight" and "Don't Cramp My Style", the latter of which was re-recorded for the album. The demo was recorded in guitarist Kevin Shields' parents' home in Killiney, South Dublin. Shields and drummer Colm Ó Cíosóig later overdubbed bass and drum tracks at Litton Lane Studios. Upon its release, the album made little impression and the band relocated to London, United Kingdom. Similarities between My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus and Mary Chain had been suggested in the music press but guitarist Kevin Shields later told Melody Maker "we've got a mini-LP we made in Berlin in '84, pre-Mary Chain [...] with all our traits there—feedback thrash." AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine has referred to the album as "an unfocused and derivative collection of post-punk goth rock". Label: Crass Valentine/Unofficial

Following Brutalism (2017) and Joy as an Act of Resistance (2018), two releases that garnered global critical acclaim, IDLES return with their highly anticipated third album – Ultra Mono. Sonically constructed to capture the feeling of a hip-hop record (including production contribution from Kenny Beats), the album doubles down on the vitriolic sneer and blunt social commentary of their past work. Not far beneath the surface of their self-admitted sloganeering lies a deeply complex and brutally relevant album that chews up clichés and spits them out as high art for the masses. This is momentary acceptance of the self. This is Ultra Mono. Black vinyl, this is the standard release. Label: Partisan Records Barcode: 720841218616

Idles return with their new album Crawler – an album of reflection and healing amid a worldwide pandemic that stretched the planet’s collective mental and physical health to the breaking point. Frontman Joe Talbot says, “We want people who’ve gone through trauma, heartbreak, and loss to feel like they’re not alone, and also how it is possible to reclaim joy from those experiences.” Idles albums have always been anchored by these overarching themes, but the ability of the band to juxtapose beauty and rage with humor and drama has never felt more satisfying than on Crawler. These stories are vividly brought to life through Idles’ most soul-stirring music to date, recorded with co-producers Kenny Beats (Vince Staples, Freddie Gibbs) and Idles guitarist Mark Bowen. There are, of course, numerous moments that will inspire absolute mayhem in a packed concert venue, but there are also fresh textures and experiments that push Idles into thrilling new territory. “I don't really see us as a ‘rock band’ and working with Kenny [Beats] freed us of the idea of genre,” Talbot enthuses. “On this album, our dissolution of ego was helped by Kenny’s humble nature and willingness to learn. He has boundless passion for making the best song possible. Not the best ‘rock’ song — the best song possible.” He continues, “It was writing selfishly that helped make it possible. Reflecting. Telling my own story. Not trying to tell everyone else's story. Not trying to fix the world — just talking about how I am fixing mine.” Label: Partisan Records

Garage-pop melodies backed by agit-punk rhythm fronted by the powerful, insistent vocals of Dubliner Grian Chatten. Debut album from Dubliners Fontaines DC - a band that feel like they’ve been around forever already - welcome to the world of Grian Chatten, Conor Deegan III, Carlos O’ Connell, Conor Curley and Tom Coll. A driving urgent sound like running down hill with the wind at your back - muscly strong songs full of melody and rhythm.

2020’s A Hero’s Death saw Fontaines D.C. land a #2 album in the UK, receive nominations at the GRAMMYs, BRITs and Ivor Novello Awards, and sell out London’s iconic Alexandra Palace. Now the band return with their third record in as many years: Skinty Fia. Used colloquially as an expletive, the title roughly translates from the Irish language into English as “the damnation of the deer”; the spelling crassly anglicized, and its meaning diluted through generations. Part bittersweet romance, part darkly political triumph - the songs ultimately form a long-distance love letter, one that laments an increasingly privatized culture in danger of going the way of the extinct Irish giant deer.

In continuation of what's been one of the most prolific creative streaks of their 15-year career, Editors release the new best of album Black Gold featuring 13 tracks from their six studio albums, alongside three brand new offerings: "Upside Down," summer festival anthem "Frankenstein" and the gothically dramatic title track "Black Gold." Black Gold's cover photograph was shot by award-winning photographer Nadav Kander and the album artwork was designed by celebrated graphic designer Tom Hingston (Massive Attack, Chemical Brothers, The Rolling Stones). From their Mercury Prize shortlisted debut The Back Room, to No. 1 debuting An End Has A Start, platinum-selling In This Light and On This Evening, sprawling, transitional The Weight of Your Love, moody, self-produced In Dream and their sixth top-10 album in a row, 2018's explosive Violence, Editors have refused to either stay still or compromise. Black Gold is a chance to reflect on the past 15 years, but it also offers a glimpse into a very exciting future for one of the UK's most enduring and perhaps unexpected musical success stories of this century.

THIS IS A PRE-ORDER! YOUR ORDER WILL SHIP ON/OR AROUND APRIL, THANKS! London-based singer/guitarist Dan Treacy took the Mod sound of the mid-1960s and channelled it in other directions through the Television Personalities, the oddball, on-off group he founded with two friends in 1977. The 1995 solo Treacy effort I Was A Mod Before You Was A Mod veers between the humour of ‘As John Belushi Said’ and ‘Little Woody Allen’ to the angst and self-loathing of ‘A Long Time Gone’ and ‘I Can See My Whole World Crashing Down,’ and there’s the catchy Mod homage of the title track. Tragic, spastic, and wildly fearless, this is one of Treacy’s most personal, vulnerable, and sought-after releases.

KYLESA have returned as challenging and daring as ever on their 6th full length, 'Ultraviolet!' Moving well beyond their trademark riffs, 'Ultraviolet' sees core founding members, Laura Pleasants and Phillip Cope, expanding and evolving. The dualism of Pleasants' versatile singing and Cope's shouted vocals melds perfectly with the constant change in sound. Shifting effortlessly from heavy hard rock riffs to punk-infused beats to even barren cold wave concoctions, 'Ultraviolet' sees KYLESA progressing in ways never thought possible and is undoubtedly one of the best records of 2013! The Savannah, Georgia-based Kylesa are, fundamentally, a metal group, but they are otherwise difficult to categorize: elements of hardcore punk, psychedelic stoner rock, technical speed metal, and good old-fashioned Black Sabbath sludge appear in their music. Also, with a front line consisting of three very different singers instead of a single focal point, Kylesa have a musical variety lacking from many of their more monochromatic peers. Kylesa formed in Savannah in 2001, taking their unusual name from "kilesa mara," what Buddhist teachings term demons of defilement and delusion. Guitarist and singer Phillip Cope and bassist Brian Duke were former members of the Savannah grindcore act Damad, which had released two albums in the '90s; the original lineup was completed with the addition of guitarist and singer Laura Pleasants and drummer Brandon Baltzley. After the release of a single and a split EP with Memento Mori, sessions for Kylesa's debut album were tragically cut short when Duke died during an epileptic seizure. Replacing Duke with bassist and singer Corey Barhorst, the band completed its self-titled debut, released in late 2002. More singles and a placeholder EP, 2004's No Ending 110 Degree Heat Index, followed before Kylesa signed with the indie metal label Prosthetic Records and released their second proper album, To Walk a Middle Course, in 2005. Following the release of that album, Baltzley left the group, replaced by a pair of drummers, Jeff Porter and Carl McGinley. Kylesa's third album, Time Will Fuse Its Worth, was released on Halloween 2006, followed by Static Tensions in 2009. The following year, Kylesa dove even deeper into the psychedelic waters they'd been exploring with Spiral Shadow, which arrived on Season of Mist. The trend continued on their more melodic and expansive sixth album, 2013's Ultraviolet. But Cope and Pleasants never stopped writing. They stockpiled riffs, melodies, and production ideas before embarking on a grueling bout of touring that would last into 2014. When the pair reentered the studio, it was with new drummer Carl McGinley. They delved into their stash for source material. In July of 2015, they announced the imminent release of the album The Exhausting Fire with first single "Lost and Confused." Recorded at the Jam Room in Columbia, South Carolina and produced by Cope, the set compiled and compounded virtually every sound that Kylesa had explored on earlier records as well as some new ones. The Exhausting Fire was issued on October 2. - Stewart Mason, Rovi. Label: Season of Mist Barcode: 0822603127522

Το «νέο Νέο κύμα», είναι ίσως ο δίσκος που, ως Veego Records, μας κάνει πιο περήφανους από οτιδήποτε έχουμε κυκλοφορήσει έως σήμερα. Είναι μια συλλογή, εμπνευσμένη αλλά, και αφιερωμένη, στους μικρούς και μεγαλύτερους ήρωες που έχουν διαγνωστεί με αυτισμό και τις οικογένειες τους. Ο αυτισμός είναι η συχνότερη νευροαναπτυξιακή διαταραχή σε παιδιά προσχολικής και σχολικής ηλικίας. Δεν κάνει διακρίσεις, ούτε γνωρίζουμε τι τον προκαλεί. Δεν είναι ιάσιμος , ούτε ανιχνεύεται με προγεννητικό έλεγχο. Κάθε αυτιστικό άτομο έχει τα δικά του χαρακτηριστικά και τις δικές του δυσκολίες. Κάποια άτομα μπορεί να είναι πλήρως λειτουργικά και να εξελιχθούν σε αυτόνομους ενήλικες και κάποια, μη λειτουργικά, με ισόβια ανάγκη υποστήριξης. Κάποια, ίσως να είναι εξαιρετικά χαρισματικά σε ορισμένους τομείς και να διαπρέψουν, και κάποια μπορεί να μη μιλήσουν ποτέ. Γι’ αυτό άλλωστε ο αυτισμός είναι φάσμα. Είναι όμως σχεδόν βέβαιο ότι όλα τα άτομα στο φάσμα του αυτισμού, όπως και οι οικογένειες τους, θα βρεθούν στη ζωή τους αντιμέτωποι με την προκατάληψη, την άγνοια, την αμάθεια και τον αποκλεισμό. Το « Νέο νέο κύμα» κυκλοφορεί με σκοπό να ευαισθητοποιήσει τον κόσμο και να τον φέρει ένα βήμα πιο κοντά σε αυτά τα ιδιαίτερα άτομα. Να παρακινήσει τον καθένα που θα κρατήσει στα χέρια του αυτό το δίσκο να ενημερωθεί και να ανοίξει την αγκαλιά του. Όλοι οι καλλιτέχνες, που συμμετέχουν στο δίσκο, μας χάρισαν με χαρά τα τραγούδια τους, για το σκοπό αυτό. Είναι 23 τραγούδια που έχουν κυκλοφορήσει μόνο σε ψηφιακές πλατφόρμες. Τους ευχαριστούμε ολους ιδιαίτερα για την συμπαράστασή τους. Ο τίτλος του δίσκου πιστεύουμε ότι εκφράζει απόλυτα τη μουσική που αντιπροσωπεύει αυτή η νέα γενιά Ελλήνων καλλιτεχνών, που εκτός από τη συνάντησή τους στο δίσκο, αποτελούν μια μουσική σκηνή που φέρνει την αλλαγή στα μουσικά πραγματα. Το εξώφυλλο του δίσκου και το artwork έχει επιμεληθεί ο εικαστικός Γιώργος Μαραζιώτης. Ο δίσκος κόπηκε με την ευγενική χορηγία του Ιδρύματος Ωνάση και κυκλοφορεί σε 1000 βινύλια. Όλα τα έσοδα του δίσκου θα διατεθούν σε ιδρύματα που φιλοξενούν, εκπαιδεύουν, υποστηρίζουν και απασχολούν άτομα στο φάσμα του αυτισμού. Όπως γράφει για το εξώφυλλο του δίσκου η παιδίατρος – αναπτυξιακή παιδίατρος, Αλεξάνδρα Κλημεντοπούλου : «Οι κοινωνίες ωριμάζουν όταν συμπεριλαμβάνουν αντί να αποκλείουν την διαφορετικότητα. Γιατί ο αυτισμός δεν είναι επιλογή, η αποδοχή του όμως είναι.» Tracklist: ΕΝΑ ΑΛΛΙΩΤΙΚΟ ΠΑΙΔΑΚΙ - ΠΑΥΛΟΣ ΠΑΥΛΙΔΗΣ & Β-MOVIES ΚΑΝΕΝΑΣ - ΛΟΥΝΤΕΜΗ ΜΟΥΡ Ο ΝΙΚΟΛΑΣ - ΠΑΙΔΙ ΤΡΑΥΜΑ ΤΟ ΦΥΤΟ - ΔΕΣΠΟΙΝΙΣ ΤΡΙΧΡΩΜΗ ΣΑΜΟΘΡΑΚΗ ΝΗΣΙ – LIBYS YATOSAKE (Brigiol 2.0) - TURBOFLOW 3000 ΑΓΙΟΣ – ΛΕΠΥΡ ΠΑΡΑΓΩΓΙΚΟΤΗΤΑ - BILLY KARK ΜΕΤΑΛΛΑΞΗ – CAPETTE ΠΛΑΣΤΙΚΟ - EDDIE DARK ΣΑΝ ΜΕ ΚΟΙΤΑΣ - DRAMACHINE ΤΙΠΟΤΑ ΣΤΟΝ ΚΟΣΜΟ - ΛΕΞ TALISMAN - SCI-FI RIVER ΜΕΓΑΛΑ ΠΑΙΔΙΑ - SOPHIE LIES ΑΓΚΑΛΙΑ - NALYSSA GREEN ΨΗΛΑ - OMNIAH PARAMERA - BHUKHURAH ΕΓΩ Σ'ΑΓΑΠΗΣΑ ΕΔΩ – MELENTINI ΤΟΥΒΛΑ - MAZOHA CONCRETE PILLOW - PAN PAN COSMOPOLITICS - LUMIERE ΛΕΟΠΑΡ ΓΑΤΕΣ (ft.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (often shortened to Ziggy Stardust) is the fifth studio album by English musician David Bowie, released on 16 June 1972 in the United Kingdom by RCA Records. It was produced by Bowie and Ken Scott and features Bowie's backing band the Spiders from Mars — Mick Ronson, Trevor Bolder and Mick Woodmansey. Most of the songs were written around the same time as its predecessor Hunky Dory. After that album was completed, recording for Ziggy Stardust commenced in November 1971 at Trident Studios in London, with further sessions in early February 1972. Described as a rock opera and a loose concept album, Ziggy Stardust concerns Bowie's titular alter ego Ziggy Stardust, a fictional androgynous, bisexual rock star who is sent to Earth as a savior before an impending apocalyptic disaster. The character was inspired by numerous musicians, including English singer Vince Taylor. Most of the album's concept was developed after the songs were recorded. The character was retained for the subsequent Ziggy Stardust Tour. A concert film of the same name, directed by D. A. Pennebaker, was filmed in July 1973 and released in 1979, and a live album from the same show followed in 1983. The music on Ziggy Stardust has been characterised as glam rock and proto-punk. Unlike its predecessor Hunky Dory, which was generally piano-led, the songs on Ziggy Stardust are primarily guitar-based, mostly due to the departure of keyboardist Rick Wakeman. The songs were influenced by Iggy Pop of the Stooges, Lou Reed of the Velvet Underground, and Marc Bolan of T. Rex. The album's lyrics discuss the artificiality of rock music, political issues, drug use, sexual orientation and stardom. The album cover, photographed by Brian Ward in monochrome and recoloured by Terry Pastor, was taken in London, outside the home of furriers "K. West". Preceded by the single "Starman", Ziggy Stardust peaked at number 5 on the UK Albums Chart and number 75 on the US Billboard 200. The album received widespread critical acclaim and, following his performance of "Starman" on the English television programme Top of the Pops, propelled Bowie to stardom. Not wanting Ziggy to define him, Bowie created a new character, Aladdin Sane, for his next album, which Bowie described as "Ziggy goes to America". It has since been called one of the most important albums in the glam rock genre and one of the greatest albums of all time. The album has been reissued several times and was remastered in 2012 for its 40th anniversary. In 2017, it was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry, being deemed "culturally, historically, or artistically significant" by the Library of Congress.
