HELLO SHITTY PEOPLE "Hello Shitty People" from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY LP • $7.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes "Hello Shitty People left this world in 2001, leaving behind a 7” on This Here Records and an LP recorded but never released. I bought that 7” based on their band name alone almost 9 years ago. How could a band called “Hello Shitty People” not be good? Anyway I’ve honestly treasured that little record ever since. The true early Crimpshriney spirit of East Bay Pop punk had been picked up, kicked in the side and made weirder by these southern gents in a way I honestly don’t think has been done better by anyone claiming to do the same thing. It’s dark, it’s positive, it has bass lines that make Matt Freeman look like a rank amateur. I’m only half joking about that last one. These guys came from and went on to be in bands like Los Canadians, Radon, Cortez The Killer and a million others." Download: "The Doppelganger of Chris Elliott" MP3 |

RINGERS "Hurry Up & Wait" from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY LP • $8.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes Their third album. 7 songs clocking in at just under 20 minutes. It's like riding a trainwreck with a smile on your face, a drink in your hand and your heart on your sleeve. You're scared to death but still trying to have a good time. I honestly can't think of a better metaphor for the lyrical content of this album. It confronts the worst parts of life with out reveling in them and accepts the reality that it's not all bad times without being sappy and overly positive. Musically you're getting gritty pop punk with elements of everyone from The Clash, The Replacements, Rancid, and oft compared to contemporaries like Bent Outta Shape and Dillinger Four...although I honestly don't hear the last two, but I accept that other people do. Every album results in more complex song writing and delivery, and if they can keep the train on the tracks I think they'll be one of those bands that everyone else gets compared to in a few years. Real talk. Recorded by Will Killingsworth (Orchid/Ampere/Dead Air Studios). First press limited to 800 copies with hand stamped inner labels; includes download code! Download: "Canned Laughter" MP3 |

SHANNON AND THE CLAMS "I Wanna Go Home" from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY LP • $8.00 BUY CD • $8.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes The sound of a prom band in 1964 getting dosed with acid and having the sweetest lovelorn freak out. Imagine a brawling Etta James, backed up by the 13th Floor Elevators singing Shangri La's tunes. It doesn't sound exactly like that, but imagine it. If I ever get a time machine that's the first thing I'm going to try to get to happen. Shannon has a voice that can go from a sweet girl group croon to a bluesy ballsy growl before you realize you're headed for the floor. This is their debut full length following hot on the heels of the "Hunk Hunt" 7" on Weird Hug Records. Recorded by Matthew Melton of the Bare Wires/Snakeflower 2. On tour in the US through November! Do not miss this band live. Seriously. Just about everyone in the states is going to get a chance to see them in November. For fans of Thee Oh Sees, Nobunny, King Khan and BBQ Show, Ginny Arnell. Stream the record! |

SNUGGLE "Zero Real Hearts" from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY LP • $8.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes Samiam, Crimpshrine and Rancid. Remember that time you couldn't go wrong with any of those? It's been awhile. Snuggle sounds a bit like if you took the first few records of all of those bands, artfully smashed them to pieces and even more artfully reassembled them in to one giant record and updated it so it wasn't a boring throwback or some inept aping. Snuggle embody what I love about gritty pop punk and the city they hail from, Seattle. It's got the gloom and the get up and go that comes from the heart and not some calculated manipulation. For fans of Off With Their Heads, Crimpshrine, Samiam, Bent Outta Shape, Rancid. On tour through the month of November in the US! |

SNUGGLE / NO HIGH FIVES TO BULLSHIT from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY 7" • $3.75 Both bands contribute two songs of gravely heart broken pop punk sing alongs. And not that "everything is so great, let's all go ride bikes and hug" sort of gravely pop punk. But the kind that's bummed out about stuff. The good kind. Not that riding bikes and hugging isn't great. Snuggle is literally the best pop punk band from Seattle probably ever. I can't think of another from the area, past or present, that could rival them. They've been hindered for the last few years by the hectic tour schedules of their other bands but watch out for them on their first full US tour in the Fall of 2009! These two songs were originally recorded for their full length but won't appear on the LP to be released in September. No High 5's are from Denver and aren't afraid to call out all this unnecessary high fiving that's been going on lately! Full color cover art by Henderson who is an artistic genious, former member of Shorebirds and moved to one of the Carolinas for some god awful reason!!! First press limited to 500 copies. |

ARRIVALS / BROKEDOWNS from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY 7" • $3.25 Stevo sez: "3 new songs from both of these Chicagoland bands. The Arrivals have a new record on Recess called "Marvels of Industry" that I highly recommend. I'll use the shallow plug of "Paddy from D4 is in this band now and on this record" for those of you who enjoy such things, because it's in your best musical interest to buy this thing no matter what pretenses it's under. The Brokedowns have no Paddy, but they do have a record on Thick called "New Brains for Everyone" - check it out!" |

BENT OUTTA SHAPE / SNUGGLE from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY 7" • $3.00 The last three songs from Bent. Still pissed they broke up. Crucial drunks heavily influenced by TwinTone era Replacements. Snuggle are from Seattle and have received their PHD's from the East Bay school for Pop Punk. Way better than Crimpshrine. They wouldn't agree but it's hard for a student to admit he's better than his teacher some times. |

DRUNKEN BOAT "Drunken Boat" from Salinas/1-2-3-4-Go! BUY LP • $8.00 BUY CD • $7.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes Urgent, beautiful, rough around the edges, intelligent punk from Portland, OR. Possibly the best band of this style since Crimpshrine. Stream: "Keeponkeeponkeepon" MP3 |
|
|
FIFTH HOUR HERO / SAINTE CATHERINES from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY 7" • $2.75 Two songs from each band! Comes in a stylish fold-out cover! |
|
|
FUTURE VIRGINS / ONION FLAVORED RINGS from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY 7" • $3.25 Two new songs each from two bands that put out criminally few records. If you like Crimpshrine, Allergic To Bullshit, Shotwell, Sexy, Jack Palance Band, ADD/C, Hidden Spots and Giant Bags of Weed...these guys do too. So much so that they were in those bands! Was that a clever way of saying "ex-members of"? No? Well I'll try harder next time! |

GIT SOME "Cosmic Rock" from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY LP • $9.50 BUY CD • $8.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes Description: Take a box. Put in it: Black Flag's "First Four Years" record. Jesus Lizard's first 2 records. A couple of Hawkwind records. A Drive Like Jehu record. A few Stones songs. A few handfuls of change. An espresso machine and soymilk. A few boxes of cereal. A bag of weed. A bottle of whiskey. A dozen satanic ninjas. A Jimi Hendrix 7". A yo-yo. A copy of Lucifer Rising. A copy of The Holy Mountain. A chunk of opium. or: Git Some is a band from Denver, Colorado consisting of 4 dudes (including Chuck and Neil from Planes Mistaken For Stars) who grew up on 80's punk rock, Reagan-era America, and shitty weed, discharging cathartic bursts of noise that shatter angst and inhibitions. cosmic rock, by way of wild abandon, loud-ass guitar, bass and drums, and an explosive singer. It's all the good things about hardcore stripped of the agenda, all the great things about metal and hard rock stripped of the unnecessary machismo. Vinyl comes in a full color gatefold sleeve and includes a coupon for a one-time download of high quality MP3's of the entire album! Stream: "Time Bomb" MP3 |

HICKEY "Hickey" from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY CD • $7.00 Holy shit I re-released a Hickey record! Major accomplishment for me. The pinnacle of 90's SF Mission district punk. Noisy but melodic. Retarded but insanely intelligent. One of my very favorite bands ever. They're like the Radon of the Bay Area. Probably the best band to come out of the area ever but way underappreciated. This is their only proper full length. Originally on Probe Records. Download: "Believe" MP3 |

HOUSE ON FIRE from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY 7" • $2.75 Sadly short lived project with Alex from Panthro UK, Todd from The Draft/Unitas, my buddy Jim and another cat whose name I can't remember right now on drums. Fucking amazing Gainesville hardcore. Better than Panthro in my opinion. I realize those are fighting words. Bring it! |

IN THE RED / GIT SOME from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY 7" • $3.50 After a few years away, Mike Hale from Gunmoll is back in a full band and recording again. In The Red take up essentially where Gunmoll left off with Board of Rejection: extremely powerful Jawbreaker- by-way-of-Hot Water Music-style punk. Git Some on the other side consists of Neil and Chuck from Planes Mistaken For Stars, Lucious Fairchild of a hundred Denver bands and Andy Lindstrom. You ever see that picture of Van Halen hanging out with Black Sabbath? Well, replace Van Halen with Black Flag and have them all sitting on a mountain of weed, and you begin to get a rough idea of what Git Some are about. Two songs by each band, and cover art illustrated by Cristy Road! |

NOBUNNY "Love Visions" from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY LP • $9.00 BUY CD • $8.50 DOWNLOAD from iTunes We have NEW RED VINYL!! This is your chance to finally own the record that the guy who washes dishes at your job has been raving about. It's a Half Man, Half Rabbit, Half Nude, lo-fi, bubblegum garage rock soundtrack to sweethearts holding hands and kissing on a long walk home to a rock and roll orgy presided over by Little Richard, Motormouth Maybelle, Alan Freed and Joey Ramone. If you aren't instantly in love the second this hits your stereo, I'm afraid there isn't a fun bone in your body or a human heart in your chest. The original pressing of 1,000 was gone in a flash... these people know why.... "Continuing the grand tradition of Bay Area garage acts dressed in outrageous costumes (remember the Vulcaneers, the Trashwomen and the Mummies?)... Nobunny has released a rip- roaring good-times party album that comes on like the illegitimate offspring of the Archies, Joey Ramone, Hasil Adkins and Kim Fowley. A mixture of gritty, fuzzy garage rock and giddy, sticky bubblegum music..." -Magnanimous Collector/LA Times "...if you've never been hugged by a horny, drunken Muppet, you should seek him out." -Tucson Weekly "Never in my life did I think I'd fall for a gutter-brained, cartoon swipe artiste, but I have. Hard." -Mitch Cardwell Recommended if you like: The Ramones, the idea of GG Allin as a masked children's show host with the Jabbers as the house band, Jay Reatard (probably), frequenting Termbo from time to time... and a good time all the time. CD comes with a bonus Nobunny animated video! |

RINGERS "Curses" from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY LP • $7.50 BUY CD • $7.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes The first Ringers album, finally released on vinyl in a version available to more than a handful of people in New England! Comes in a snazzy LP jacket, with an insert this time too. This band picks up where Sirens left off. Most of the reviews imply that it sounds like Tim Armstrong writing songs for Dillinger Four. That's a description that would make me buy this if I hadn't put it out but honestly I don't think it's accurate. I am literally the only person in the world who thinks so. People sort of snoozed on this until the '06 fest when they finally got to see them and were stoked as all get out. |

RINGERS "Detention Halls" from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY CD • $7.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes Their 2nd full length! Well-written gritty pop punk for late night coffee shop romantics and anyone trying to figure what happened to their youth and where they're supposed to go from here. I think that just about covers everyone! This is also a band that gets "influences" right: influences are supposed to run in the background, providing some of the energy for what you're doing, not a playbook for your song writing. I hear hints of everything that made 90's East Bay pop punk great, a touch of '77, on occasion the drive of true post-hardcore and enough inspiration and originality to make it all into something different. Stream: "Nothing To Show" MP3 |

SNEAKY PINKS "Sneaky Pinks" from 1-2-3-4-Go! 7" temporarily out of stock The single that brought cretin punk to new lows and birthed the atrocity known as NOBUNNY! Four songs of intensely infectious lo-fi punk. Simultaneously frightened and thrilled Rev. Norb and countless others. Constantly out of print... finally back in print! Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah! |

SPITTING TEETH / 1-2-GO! CREW from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY 7" • $3.00 Spitting Teeth's last recordings. Oldschool style hardcore/thrash on one side and hip hop versions of oldschool hardcore/thrash songs on the other. Best idea ever. Killer zombie cover art too. |

This here is their two song debut single! |

THE HORDE "Join or Die" from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY CD • $3.00 8 originals and one Misfits cover that actually doesn't suck. This is way cheap because this band never played a show outside of Portland and I've got a bunch left. If you like hardcore with a hint of brutal rock'n'roll you need to get this. Similar to Suicide File but better than Modern Life is War. |
|
|
THE HORDE "The Horde" from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY 7" • $2.25 DOWNLOAD from iTunes One of my favorite styles of hardcore. The rock'n'roll infused style. It's pissed and realizes you don't have to resort to metal to kick an ass or two. Limited to only a few copies. The most under appreciated 1-2-3-4 Go! release in my opinion. It's dirt cheap. If you like bands like Suicide File or maybe The Bronx you'll like this unless you have serious mental problems. My friend Aaron Edge is in this band. He was in Himsa and Harkonen a long time ago. He hates it when I tell people that but since this band never played shows outside of Portland he can suck it. |

WHISKEY SUNDAY "Maldecido CD" from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY CD • $7.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes Dover makes Frankie Stubbs sound like a velvet throated crooner. It's tough, it's melodic, it's into science fiction and there's a duet with Annie from This Is My Fist on it. What more could you ask for? This record is a little less Naked Raygun-sounding than their debut but still amazing. My favorite band from San Jose. Download: "Wallchasers" MP3 |
|
|
WHISKEY SUNDAY "Maldecido EP" from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY 7" • $2.75 DOWNLOAD from iTunes 4 song companion to the Maldecido full length. Three previously unreleased songs including an Animals cover and an alternate version of "Laughing Academies" featuring vocals from Annie from This Is My Fist and a sweet guitar solo that wasn't on the album version. |
