TITLE: NASHVILLE GEOGRAPHICS
FORMAT: LP
LABEL: HOMETOWN CARAVAN
CATALOGUE NUMBER: 008

Singer, guitarist and songwriter for The Metroschifter, here is Scott Ritcher's second solo album. This legendary Louisville svengali has been on the scene making engaging records and creating innovative artwork for over a decade. His new record is an amazing departure into the realm of alternative country with dub beats and samples and all kinds of other stuff going on. Scott has always been a true original and he keeps it real on Nashville Geographic.

If you want to know how to fix your broken heart, if you prefer to dig your blues or if you just want to give up on everything and dance smoothly with a sour drink in you right hand... this Ep is made for you! Four songs in which Gil Rose asserts his own style : deep and light, sincere and elegantly distant... Feeling at home and in good company with the rock'n'roll fellows of Sunthunder Records catalogue, Gil Rose is mostly an original french songwriter... Cheers amis !

Four new Martian pop songs that, as always have to be cited references, may remind you of unclassifiable bands of the Housemartins or Violent Femmes style, or better yet, a few over-tripped Jumps

Dany Laj's heartfelt songs perfectly blend elements of rock, folk and punk, without straying too far from the roots of power-pop that give the melodies a certain joie de vivre, with nods to Nick Lowe and Paul Westerberg. Powerful yet unpretentious lyrics, Laj tells the story of the boy from northern Ontario trying to find his way south.

From Mieres (Asturias) this quartet unleashes all the mass of powerpop melodies, garage screams and punk soul, that these 4 guys carry inside. His influences range from the sixtie psychedelic of Love to the elegance of The Knack, through New Wave sophistication and ... fuck the labels!

ARTIST: PISSINBOY
TITLE: EMILY
FORMAT: LP
LABEL: LARSEN RECORDZ
CATALOGUE NUMBER: LZ098

Based in Stoke Newington, the three-piece make lo-fi fuzz-pop, and kind of sound like a mariachi band who have discovered the joys of garage rock. Piro’s songs are endearingly simple, as are his lyrics, which concern everyday things like the colour of his tracksuit as he runs through Hackney Marshes. There is something really charming about Pissinboy’s music, which owes as much to the lo-fi naivety of Daniel Johnston as it does to '60s garage bands.

As the title of this ep says, the Model Rockets are back. Yes, one of the best power-pop groups of the 90's has not published anything for 15 years, and they are back in a big way, with an ep of 4 songs (including a Raspberries cover) that will not disappoint any of their fans lifelong.

The second release by Los Valendas is something of an oddity. The four tracks here, originally recorded for inclusion on the compact version of Turtle Freind are so good that they are released now in their own right. A wonderfull little record.

His last single from 2020.

Power-rock-pop from Valencia, city 'Del Sol'.

Maximum power pop.

Followup to their debutalbum "it's too late" which got rave reviews all over.11 tracks,including Bo Diddley & Stooges covers,a bit louder & stronger than their previous material but still with as many catchy hooks.They have been compared to the Heartbreakers,Real Kids,Zeros & Registrators & this album is a perfect mix of all of those.

In 1975 Alex Chilton went into the Ardent Recording Studios with producer Jon Tiven and out of some tumultuous recording sessions came a number of loose and unpolished gems, which would ultimately become the "Bach's Bottom" album. Munster is proud to present this 7" featuring previously unreleased alternate versions of three of those tracks, another instance of Alex Chilton magic.

High class Power pop.

Second band of this band from A Coruña with members of Elephant Band, Covers, Ultracuerpos...

After reissuing in 2018 his 1972 psych folk/baroque pop masterpiece "Years" and 1992's power pop gem "12 In A Room", Munster continues its collaboration with Marc Jonson with this 7" featuring two new tracks, which acts as a preview to a full length of new material later this year.Recorded in Cantabria, Spain with the backing of local three-piece band Compañía de Sueños Ilimitada, this single is further proof of Jonson's gift for writing wonderful pop music. He talks about the new songs:'My Girlfriend (Doesn't Like The Ramones)' and 'I Don't Wanna Go To School Today' preserve how I started out loving music with a pure teenage angst and simple melodic sensibility. They don't stray too far from their inspired essence because music can be whatever it feels best doing. If you're not feeling good about playing your guitar, getting back to basics usually works for me.Phil Spector, Brian Wilson and Mike Love, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Del Shannon, Dion, Arthur Lee, Van Morrison, Gene Clark, Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Bo Diddley - these are my "go to" artists. Sometimes I even run to them and guess what? I'm set back straight again!

ARTIST: DIRTSHAKES
TITLE: THE KICKS ARE ALRIGHT
FORMAT: 10"
LABEL: ALIEN SNATCH! RECORDS

This new line-up featuring some of the very finest musicians from The Solingen-scene dwells around in a vivid mixture of all-out rawkin' powerpop and sparkling melodic punky riffs. The Dirtshakes mixes the best of The Jet Bumpers with some standard harmonies and melodies as created by bands like Buzzcocks, The Undertones, The Devil Dogs, The Lyres, The Fun Things and The Eastern Dark.

The amazing return of the Elastic Man and Colossus of Rhythm! Micky, a rock & roll pioneer in Spain along with his legendary backing band Los Tonys, has recorded a new album featuring 12 hits at Jorge Explosion's Circo Perrotti vintage studio. This time he's accompanied by a band of true lovers of rock & roll, including members of Doctor Explosion, Raunch Hands, The Kaisers, The Reak McCoyson and Bubblegum, among other underground garage stars.
