Mixing Good Throb

Mixing the forthcoming Good Throb LP “Fuck Off”

Coming out on Superfi Records.

Here is a review of their first effort:

“Good Throb’s initial public offering draws from all of their previous bands’ work (the Sceptres, the Shitty Limits, Tortura et al.) in the shadows of the Nixe’s Utreg punk, with a hint of “Swiss Punk Now”, a bit of the Australian X’s burliness, but any desire for comparison is overwhelmed by a certain wall of sound and ferocity – on every instrument – that breeds a perfectly nasty sense of empathy. Empathy for a visceral breeze, for the methodical assassination of tedium, for the distilled detestation of our rosy society, and for Tesco anthems. Raw depictions of a mundane universe. (NG – Terminal Boredom)”

Mixing Enraged Minority‘s new album “Anitude.”

Recorded at Liquid Studio in Freiburg, coming out on jointly on Mad Butcher, Redstar73, and Casual Records.

“ENRAGED MINORITY represents streetpunk the way it should be: a powerful mix between classic Oi! and hardcore punk with some ska and rock’n’roll influences.
Founded in autumn 2007 in the south-western German town Rheinfelden (Baden) but moved to Freiburg in 2013, ENRAGED MINORITY had a brew with the lads from most of your favourite bands by playing more than 100 concerts all over Europe.
After their debut album (2010), a split EP with Streets Of Rage from Nancy (2012) and a live split album with the legendary The Oppressed (2013), ENRAGED MINORITY now comes around with their second full length album!”

Mixing Nervous Twitch‘s Forthcoming Sessions.

Inspired by a shared love of the Ramones and other 70s punk bands, 60s girl group such as the The Ronettes through to modern North American Garage acts such as Nobunny, Nervous Twitch create short sharp contagious pop songs crammed with hooks and memorable melodies.

“The band oozes confidence, style, and musical ability. They have bags of stage presence and there isn’t one below-par song in their set. Stand-out tracks for me would be “Cherry Bomb”, “Bad Reputation” and “This Modern World”. Ultimately, the band are their own package altogether, but there are reflections of modern garage bands like NOBUNNY and The 5678’s, whilst they also contain elements of 60’s garage/pop bands like The Animals and The Shangri-Las. A very unique sound indeed from this super-talented four-piece.”

Do listen to the last EP:

Mixing The 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…”
