Goodnight Loving - Up North Girl 7'' [2008]


BANCROFT RECORDS bring us yet another great release by GOODNIGHT LOVING. The three songs which are on it are probably my favorite songs the band has released to this date. The title song is a great twangy summer anthem but the two slower ones that follow it are where it's at for me. PAYPHONE breaks my heart every time i listen to it. Perfect.

Contact BANCROFT via their MYSPACE page for getting your copy. Also, since the people that run BANCROFT are the same people who are behind SMASHIN' TRANSISTORS you can probably find more info there.

Clorox Girls - Clorox Girls [2004]


My favorite release by CLOROX GIRLS. Out in 2004 on SMARTGUY RECORDS this is one of the best garage punk releases of the new millennium. Missing their show with THE FEELERS in 2007 in ZAGREB and traveling to see SHELLAC play a show in VERONA, ITALY was possibly the biggest mistake of my life. :D

Buy it from HERE.

And here's a nice zombie infested video for DON'T TAKE YOUR LIFE/THIS DIMENSION by BRADY HALL.

Cola Freaks Singles

Influenced by new wave and post-punk, these danish guys know how to write catchy punk songs and they play them with hardcore attitude. Cola Freaks members were in Jay Reatard's last live line-up and did a european tour with him and you know that Reatard would not play with just anyone. Cola Freaks are one of the best new bands from Denmark and all of their four singles are just great and i hope they'll release a full lenght record sometime soon. All singles are still available from below mentioned labels.

Brain Flannel - Tape [2010]


BRAIN FLANNEL are from Charlotte, North Carolina and this is their first release out on STATUESTORY TAPES. It's six songs of fuzzed out and catchy garage punk with interchanging female and male vocals. Highly recommended.

Contact the band via their MYSPACE page for buying the tape.

Defect Defect - Defect Defect [2010]


New record from members and ex-members of The Observers and Autistic Youth so you know exactly what to expect from these guys and that is melody driven hardcore punk impregnated with grime and dark vibe. I like this way more than the first two singles. USA release out on Residue Records and Euro release out on Thrashbastard \ Taken By Surprise from Germany so be sure to support the band and labels involved and get yourself a piece of plastic from them.
