Bang! Records reissue The Drones' Here Come The Lies, originally released in 2002. At last! The Drones' first album on vinyl available outside of Australia. In order to exceed the sound pollution of Melbourne's -- the hometown of the band -- big city noise back in the day (2003), The Drones overdrive their amps to a brutal level, strum their strings the hard way and beat the drums in an unheard-of way. This is blues from the gutter. Big city blues, although some call it noise. Sure, there's enough overdriven chords on this album to please any noise fan, but there's more. The sound sways between a chorus of dissonance and numerous tactical silences, only to emphasize the music even more. You can't have noise if you don't have silence (makes sense doesn't it?) Also, the band writes lyrics that fully correspond to the music, making the package truly whole. Helping the band doing this is the anti-production-a-go-go; thank you for the squeals and the good feedback. Rock and blues, that's what The Drones are all about. Doing it the hard way. 150 gram vinyl; gatefold sleeve; edition of 500.

Señor No is the ultimate Basque rock band. No bullshit. Be ready for a fucking bulldozer running over you at 100 miles per hour! It's no secret that Señor No is one of Bang! Records' favorite bands ever. And the list of reasons for it is endless... But now they have gone further than ever before! Three guitars based on a stomping pounding rhythm section that makes your home floor vibrate. Each guitar going in a different direction and with no limits. All of it directed by Xabi Garre, master and commander of Señor No since 1994. And here is where the title comes from... 94/20 is their very latest and new recording based on old tracks unknown and rare tracks, all now re-recorded building a rock solid new album which brings you to the sonic abuse of Bored!, with the unique touch of Hoss and basic roots of Motörhead and MC5. And for those unlucky ones who do not understand the lyrics they are pure street poetry Bukowski style engaged to lost women and low life fulfilled with smoke, booze and drugs... If your rock music knowledge is so wide that you know about the boiling Basque rock scene of the late '80s to early '90s, Xabi was one of the founding members of La Perrera in San Sebastian. Absolutely mandatory for fans of Bored!, Radio Birdman, Sonic's Rendezvous Band, Hellacopters, MC5, Stooges, Motörhead. 150 gram vinyl; edition of 700.

Asteroid B-612's Forced Into A Corner is released for its very first time on vinyl. This is the second album of legendary Australian band, and it is the killer predecessor to their cult album Not Meant For This World! (BANG 134LP). Originally recorded and released in Melbourne, Australia in 1994, this album was produced by Dave Thomas from Bored! So... you can assume it is a monster piece of sonic hazard and guitar army sound mixing Detroit's wildest with Australian classics. This album was originally released only on CD and only in Australia. It's remastered here in order to deliver the most brutal sound of this band. A total must for all fans worldwide of MC5, Stooges, Dark Carnival, Sonic's Rendezvous Band, Radio Birdman, The New Christs, Bored!, Hellacopters, etc.

The Real Sound of "In Heat": the disclaimer on the album states, "NOT produced by Shel Talmy" (The Who, Kinks). The original version of the album In Heat from The Fuzztones, as it was intended to sound. The Fuzztones have been around for over 30 years as a garage rock revival band. Though originally from New York City, they worked mainly in Europe where their brand of retro '60s trash rock burned up radios from Hungary to Poland to Italy. The original In Heat was released in 1989 at the peak of the garage revival, when bands like the Chesterfield Kings, Lyres, and Cynics were all the rage. Unsurprising, the music industry turned a blind eye, yet miraculously The Fuzztones signed a major label deal with RCA. Label politics had the band in a "real" studio with a "name" producer who watered down their unharnessed energy and snotty attitude. In the end the original disc was a second-rate affair with most of the grit rubbed out only to die a sad, quick death at the hands of critics who never appreciated the band's live act anyway. With the resurgence in garage rock in The Hives and The Strokes, the time may be right again for The Fuzztones to get a second shot. Raw Heat therefore turns the clock back in time when garage rock rivaled punk as the most exciting musical scene to come along in decades. Produced by founder/guitarist/singer Rudi Protrudi and Jordan Tarlow (Outta Place, Morlocks) the recording gets a second wind when "Heathen Set" comes roaring out of the speakers. The running order has changed from the original recording putting more power up front. Both the classic church organ and dangerous guitars are better controlled in the mix (originally the organ overpowered the whole thing). "Hurt On Hold" still stands strong as the band's real chance at a single although "Me Tarzan, You Jane" with its featured harmonica is a close second. The added punch of the bass and primitive drums give the whole thing a real boost especially on "Cheyenne Rider" and "You Must Be A Witch" -- no wonder Ian Asbury of The Cult was so hooked on these guys. The best song might be the title track "In Heat" -- "We'll I'm a big bad wolf, can't ya hear me howl" Give the boys the credit they deserve... and all the fame!

Repressed. Bang! Records present a reissue of Lydia Lunch and Rowland S. Howard's Shotgun Wedding, originally released in 1991. Lydia Lunch: New York City's provocateur, poet, singer, author, performer, and actress. From fronting the influential no-wave group Teenage Jesus and The Jerks to her current musical incarnation as Big Sexy Noise, with Gallon Drunk's noise makers James Johnston, Terry Edwards, and Ian White; countless collaborations and projects in between Lydia has never played by anyone's rules but her own. This 1991 collaboration with the Australian iconic cult figure Rowland S. Howard is perhaps one of her most revered. Featuring production by JG Thirwell (Foetus, Manorexia) and drums by Jim Sclavunos (Bad Seeds, Grinderman) it's a veritable who is who of the post punk/no wave scene of the time. Rowland S. Howard is no doubt best known for his work with the Birthday Party, his discordant guitar is an essential factor in their sound. Howard sadly passed away from liver cancer in 2009. A hugely influential alternative musician, in 2011 he was subject to a 110-minute documentary entitled Autoluminescent, by cult filmmakers Richard Lowenstein and Lynne Maree Milburn, which received an independent cinema release. Featuring luminaries such as Nick Cave, Bobby Gillespie, Wim Wenders, and of course... Lydia Lunch, the film highlights Howard s genius, talent, and rightfully elevates him to the cult status he so deserves. With both parties at the height of their respective talents, this is an alternative rock gem, yet however maintains an atmosphere of eerie beauty throughout. Out of print for years, this re-press is a must have.

The Drones last album up to date available out of Australia. Feelin Kinda Free is The Drones' seventh studio album. It was recorded in January 2015 at Tropical Fuck Storm Studios in Melbourne Australia with Aaron Cupples who recorded their 2006 album, Gala Mill. It is also the first album original drummer Christian Strybosch has played on since 2005's Wait Long By The River And The Bodies Of Your Enemies Will Float By. He is joined by long time members Gareth Liddiard, Fiona Kitschin, Dan Luscombe, and Steve Hesketh. Feelin Kinda Free is a bad trip you can dance to. It's a punch in the brain summed up by the first line of the album's opener "Private Execution": "The best songs are like bad dreams". It is not like other music. It is not your stock jock "modern" retro rehash, rather an avant avalanche of everything coming back to haunt. It has been described by Australia's premier right-wing tabloid superstar and Richard Wagner fanboy Andrew Bolt as "stamping on the ashes of the West's musical traditions". Lyrically, it explores themes such as Koro syndrome, the fruits of western imperialism, ISIS, celebrity chefs, seaside statecraft, beach-bum race riots, Rupert Murdoch, the new middle Eastern/European diaspora, the specter of neofascism, Hugo Boss, Luftwaffe psychological warfare techniques, girls, sweet revenge, capitalist consumer psychosis, body image dysmorphia/mania, Gertrude Bell, eating people and selling yourself, having great skin, leftist utopianism, scientific triumphalism, E.T. and the mindless assumption that alien lifeforms would be nicer than us simply because of their technological superiority. 150 gram vinyl; Edition of 500.

LP version. 150 gram vinyl; gatefold sleeve. After an extremely emotional final performance with the Beasts of Bourbon, Tex Perkins hit upon the idea of getting all of the band's members, past and present, into a recording studio with no particular agenda. It was more of a celebratory thing he had in mind than anything else. Sadly, bassist Brian Hooper didn't make it along as he passed away a week after the Beasts last show. Assembled in Soundpark Studio a couple of weeks later were Charlie Owen, Boris Sujdovic, Tony Pola, Spencer Jones, Kim Salmon, and Tex Perkins. They were unprepared save for some sketchy ideas, loose ends, and a couple of covers. With limited time the band knocked together a collection of jams pretty much true to the crazy M.O. employed back when The Axeman's Jazz got laid down in that fateful eight-hour session in 1983. Songs weren't so much learned as ideas were thrown together and recorded the moment they began to coalesce. Captured were: Brian Hooper's "What The Hell Was I Thinking", James Baker's "Drunk On A Train", Boris' "Don't Pull Me Over", Kim's "Pearls Before Swine", Tex's "On My Back" and "Just Let Go", and Spencer's "At The Hospital". There was also Zappa's "The Torture Never Stops" and Warren Zevon's "My Shit's Fucked Up" (was there ever a more appropriate cover for the Beasts?) Add to that some untitled jams that became the hilarious "Your Honour" and "It's All Lies". Sound like an album? You betchya! Deeply sad is that Spencer was only around long enough to make it onto one track. Absolutely wonderful is that he did make it onto the recording. And with such a funny and typically Jones style piece of observation as "At The Hospital". With respect, this isn't the Beasts of Bourbon. It would need to have Jonesy on every track to be that!
