WEAD -BY THE WHEY / AND I & SHE-Label:SLOVENLY You’d figure that with the recent release of two new volumes of Crypt Records’ Back From The Grave series, and a vast stack of Last of the Garage Punk Unknowns comps finally getting their due, that the well of unheard '60s garage band recordings finally got sucked clean dry. Enter Tom Shannon of the mighty CHEATER SLICKS who dialed us up last year with a story of a customer he met while on the clock at Columbus, Ohio’s famed Used Kids Records, where he holds down hours and takes all the good stuff. Said customer delivered a perfectly preserved time capsule 7” acetate from his Cleveland juvenile delinquent combo THE WEAD: drummer Mike O’Callaghan allowed Mr. Shannon home recording privileges on proper gear where the resulting files were handed over to Black Gladiator / Slovenly Recordings for release. Much to garage kingpin Tim Warren’s chagrin, we sent him the tracks to apply his Crypt-style audio tweaking and manhandling, and we now present the first ever issue of this lost 1966 teenpunk masterpiece. “By The Whey” is a rabid punker wrought with menacing mod riffage, a twisted break and lead vox that shows the singer sounding like puberty was still miles away. The flip “And I And She” is of equal unhinged quality - a storming raver that would have easily fit on the “Teen Jangler Blowout!” volume of Teenage Shutdown, and it's as unique as we’ve ever heard 45 RPM $7 SKU:17873

UGLY THINGS- #42- SUMMER 2016: YARDBIRDS / WEIRDOS -Label: Two fantastic bands take pride of place of place on the cover this issue. The Yardbirds, one of the most innovative groups of the ‘60s, are re-examined via a fascinating interview with Paul Samwell-Smith, the band’s bass player, musical arranger, and one of their key songwriters. The Weirdos were at the epicenter of the Los Angeles punk scene in the late 1970s, but their story has never been covered before with any depth or detail. We rectify that this issue with an epic feature story loaded with wild and weird photos. BOOKS & MAGS $10 SKU:17872

FUZZTONES - Horny As Hell (GARAGE rockers from Rudi Protrudi ) Label:NO FUN It's been some hard years for all fans of The Fuzztones. Finally the last record 'Salt For Zombies' was released in 2003. The longing for a new record is over and it was worth waiting. 'Horny As Hell' is one of the best Fuzztones creations ever! It brings you all that the Fuzztones are legendary for and much more. Mastermind Rudi Protrudi comes up with a 3 piece horn section and 4 female backing vocalists to get you the groove and to spearhead the new Garage Soul Movement that's rapidly sweeping Berlin (where the band now resides) and soon the rest of the world. So this time it's not only the Fuzz Madness that will blow your mind but also horns from hell - 'nomen ist omen'. The CD offers 17 tracks of hard-driving, hook-laden Rock 'n Roll anthems - the stuff that has made The Fuzztones inspirations to bands such as the Hives, the Horrors, and many more of today's 3rd generation of Garage rockers. Including future favorites 'Garden Of My Mind' and the Pretty Things track 'Alexander' which features Pretties' bassist and occasional lead singer Wally Waller as well as brand new versions of Fuzztones classics 'Ward 81' and 'She's Wicked' done in 'Big Band'-style. And last but not least get wild with Rudi's hypnotic vocal delivery - just as energetic and vital as when he formed the band 28 years ago! Additionally the band has made up a special tour this fall to make you go wild'n fuzzy! For that the Fuzztones 'Gonn Primitive' as Craig Moore of the garagepunk legend Gonn! appears as special guest during the tour. CD $13 SKU:10062
