Maniac

Mastering the forthcoming Maniac LP.

“The men in Maniac supply us with a brand of catchy punk rock with abundant retro influences. There are elements of old punk rock, power pop, mod and even some new wave sprinkled in here and there. However, the band doesn’t hide behind all of this like some second rate nostalgic cover band. They’ve got the control and persona to use their influences as a tool rather than a crutch. After all with these guys; former and current members of Cute Lepers, Clorox Girls, Rough Kids, The Girls, Images, and L.A. Drugz it’s a mathematical impossibility for this band to suck!”

Listen to a song off their debut 7″ on La Ti Da Records mastered here last year:

 

Rollergirls

Mastering Roller Girls “Satisfied With Less” LP on Fear Of Heights Records.

“Finally! ROLLERGIRLS very first LP is now available. The former screamo, then instrumental post-rock outfit has been around for many years. Sharing members with bands such as SARG, OKTA LOGUE and the short-lived punk sensation DON GIOVANNIS SUPER-ICH the band shrunk to a trio in 2012 and defined itself new once again. Now, just about a year after they hit your stereos with their “Bombs” EP tape Darmstadt’s finest are now unleashing what you’ve all been waiting for: their very first vinyl record!

“Satisfied With Less” is an awesome pop-driven punk/emo record in the vein of Midwest heros such as BRAID and GET UP KIDS merged with powerfull melodies you might love from current bands like IRON CHIC and GNARWOLVES. The LP features 10 tracks, including re-recorded and overhauled version of their “Bombs” EP songs which were released on tape and have been sold out way too fast.”

 

PUFF

Mastering P.U.F.F.s forthcoming LP.

“DAS LEBEN IST EIN PUFF…

FUTUREBILLY BERLIN”

 

Shinning Wires

Mastering Shinning Wires S/T 7″ on Snappy Little Numbers.

“Shining Wires features former members of popular Denver acts Only Thunder and Sleeper Horse. This 3 piece set out to start the 90’s pop punk band that they never started in the 90’s. Taking their love for bands like Samiam, Seaweed and Hot Water Music, Shining Wires has put their own spin on a beloved and familiar sound that they refuse to let go.”

 

heavy_nukes

Mastering the new Heavy Nukes EP on Rawmantic Disasters.

“absolutely devastating swedish hardcore punk with the drummer from anger burning! no metal influences or fancy production to be found here, just pure aggression, the way it was meant to be. if you think `raped ass´ is still the best swedish punk record ever and masturbate on our shitlickers 7″ on a daily basis, this is for you, punk! no kidding, this destroys everything in it´s path!”

Have a listen to a song off the last EP:

 

The Smear

Mastering the Smear.

A new band featuring members of various London outfits. Not least of which are Tremors, Wake Up Dead , Vexed, DiE, Love Triangle and Shitty Limits.

Gloomy post punk along the lines of The Wipers. What else could you ask for as we slowly slide into the endless rain of winter. Sometimes London reminds me of Portland.

 

Rhubarb Triangle

Mixing the Rhubarb Triangle EP.

“After originating from various corners of the North of England, the group came together in the area known as The Rhubarb Triangle, eventually settling in central London. Recorded on analogue reel-to-reel tape, the group’s three track EP features a sound highly influenced by psychedelia, freakbeat and R&B, with the four piece revolving around a core of organ, guitar and drums with an emphasis on percussion and instrumental effects…”

 

 

Franceens

Mastering the Franceens “Stepford Smiles” on TNS Records.

“The Franceens have been tearing it up live, whilst also supporting the DIY music scene in York, through their own band nights, for a couple of years now. With a sound that mixes elements of 50s rock n’ roll and catchy garage punk, The Franceens have recently received airplay on Radio 1 and have toured up and down the UK. This album is a follow up to last years five track EP”

 

Arms Race

Mastering Arms Race on Quality Control HQ.

“UK82 stomping mixed with early NYHC swing. New London band. Three skins and a weirdo put down 6 tracks on a cassette tape!”

 

Rakta

Mastering Rakta, an all girl group from Brazil on Nada Nada Discos.

“Rakta began in mid-2011, with no experience or knowing how to play right, they learned together. Some say it’s post-punk, others say it’s Gothic. We think sometimes it’s punk, but insist on talking about it as “experimental something”. We’re not too sure, all we know that it is made with love; for us, for you, and maybe for a future generation?

À libertação humana, à libertação das mulheres, por um futuro melhor.

SEITA RAKTA.”
