Gift Shop Girls

Mastering Gift Shop Girls “Aloha, Paradise” on Passion on Plastic Records.

Taken from zerosignalmagazine.com:

“Eight tracks; is it an album or an EP? I don’t know and I don’t guess it matters since I love all eight songs on the debut album from Gift Shop Girls entitled Aloha, Paradise. I mean, how can you go wrong with frenetic, furious punk rock that hits you right in the happy spot and never lets go. I have no idea how to pick a favorite song or songs because they’re all just too cool for school. What’s wonderful to witness is an unsigned band whose debut sounds like it has had professional production. You have to love technology. Never have bands been able to do so much, not just with producing and recording their music but also with promotion and it’s great to see/hear. While none of the songs on Aloha, Paradise is very long, they’re all fun and I can’t wait to see these guys play live, preferably with me showing up on the guest list and getting a bunch of sweet pictures. Just to clarify a possibly confusing point, none of the band’s members are female. Irony is my favorite.”

Remastering Death Sentence​ “Ryan Exhumed” LP

August 5, 2015 //

Death Sentence

Remastering Death Sentence​ “Ryan Exhumed” LP Thought Crime Records.

“Hardcore thrash pioneers from Australia. This is the first time their classic „Ryan-thanx for the support“ EP from 1985 has been given a legit vinyl re-issue. Additionally you find some extra material from their first demo, a few cuts from a 1988 studio session and a live track on the B Side of this LP. This is HC mastery, taking the path of „united blood“ era Agnostic Front or early D.R.I. up to the next level of sheer ferocious rage. Alongside with international likeminds like Siege, Heresy, S.O.B., Gepopel and others they´ve been on a mission to counteract the decline of the first wave of hardcore bands in the mid 80ies. Brutal, to say the very least!”

Mastering the Burnt Tapes “Wasted History”

Burnt Tapes

Mastering the Burnt Tapes “Wasted History”.

Taken from Punktastic:

‘Wasted History’, the astounding new EP by London based punks The Burnt Tapes, was recorded in an attic above an abandoned pub. Fittingly, the result is an enticing beer soaked rampage of fast paced, unpolished melody – see ‘From My Gut, To Your Face’ in particular as proof.

The record celebrates the band’s reunion following time apart. The Burnt Tapes began life in Athens before coming together again in the UK’s capital. “Wasted History, sums up the years we spent apart as we all went our separate way after high school…and about how the present is all about trying to make up for lost time,” vocalist Pan explains.

Citing the likes of Iron Chic, Leagues Apart and Apologies, I Have None as influences, The Burnt Tapes have enjoyed shows alongside fellow up-and-comers Cement Matters and The Ligaments. ‘Wasted History’ sees them make an exciting statement of intent, and should see them move up the ranks come 2015.”

Mastering Blank Pages “No Reception”

Blank Pages

Mastering Blank Pages “No Reception” on Dirtcult and Hardware Records.

Recorded and mixed by Evan Maus in Portland at Red Lantern Studios.

“Blank Pages are from Berlin, Germany and play dark melodic punk that sounds a bit like The Marked Men covering the Wipers. This single includes two killer songs recording in Portland, OR while embarking on their first (and, sadly, last) US tour, that are the perfect follow up to a their self-titled LP we released last year.  The band just completed a European tour and announced that they are breaking up. Members of Modern Pets and Life Fucker.”

Remastering Part 1 “Funeral Parade EP”

Part 1

Remastering Part 1 “Funeral Parade EP” on Sacred Bones Records.

“Part 1 formed in 1980 and were part of the original London anarcho-punk scene. During the early 1980s they played a number of gigs, often withRudimentary Peni, who the band became associated with, as well as other acts operating around the London Anarchy Centres funded byCrass’ Bloody Revolutions 7”. Part 1’s final gig (before reforming in 2013) was at the 100 Club in 1983 with Subhumans.

The band’s only vinyl release during this time was the Funeral Parade EP , released in October 1982. As well as an anarcho-punk classic, the record is now regarded as a seminal deathrock release – largely due to the dark, heavily flanged guitar work, morbid imagery, and anti-religious lyrical themes. Indeed, Part 1 have been described as “England’s Ultimate Cult Deathrock band.” (CVLT Nation)

This very special reissue finally sees this lost classic receiving a long-deserved quality release: A remastered 12″ vinyl in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with accompanying horror zine I…Paraworm, packed with never-seen text and unpublished artworks from the pen of guitarist Mark Ferelli, all contemporaneous to the 1982 release. 

In 2013, founding members Ferelli and Jake Baker (vocals), reformed the band with long-time admirer Chris Low (ex-Apostles, Oi Polloi, Political Asylum) on drums; later joined by David Barnett (ex-Adam & the Ants,Guernica, Lola Colt) on bass. Their first reformation show was at the Rebellion Festival that summer, 30 years after their last live performance. Since then, Part 1 have played a number of gigs to great acclaim and enthusiastic response with further releases and concerts scheduled for 2015.”
