Insect Surfers "Death Valley Coastline" 1996

"L.A.'s Insect Surfers have never been obsessed with slavish imitations of vintage sounds so much as recapturing the proto-punk abandon of early instrumental rock. Like San Francisco's Mermen, the Insect Surfers often veer into heady psychedelia, generating euphoric washes of reverb, twang and crashing cymbals on Death Valley Coastline" - Guitar Player December '96
The long awaited fourth album from the Insect Surfers has finally seen the light of day on CD. The Insects started life in the Washington DC area over a decade ago, where they issued a pair of great records of new wave surf-o-pop, which still find their way onto my playlists from time to time, especially "Dorsal Fin", "Up Periscope," and "VOA." After a move to LA in the late 80's, Dave Arnson formed a new version of the band, with way fewer vocals and a more West Coast / Southwest sound, eventually ending up with no vocals at all. The Insect sound today is not classic surf by any stretch of the imagination, with Dan Sullivan 's Flying V and the smooth distorto guitars only slightly reverbed and their ever present Southwest mystique. Their now impossible to find (except on vinyl) third album "Reverb Sun" is a stellar disc, and their third of the "Summer Surf" CD is equally grand. They have issued a 10 inch vinyl mini-album with a few of these tracks called "East-West" which also ncluded two tracks from "Summer Surf" not on the CD. The rest of this album as been circulating on cassette since then, until now, when it is finally out on CD. The lineup is the classic dueling twin leads of Dave Arnson and Dan Sullivan , Dan Vallenti on bass (now with the Boardwalkers ) and Jeff Utterback on drums, now in the Tiki Tones . "Mig Alley," "Razorback," and "Re-Entry" sport Mike O'Neill on bass, and Steve Birdowski (ex-Jon & the Nightriders) on drums. - PHIL DIRT

Mr. Zero "Voodoo's Eros" 1998

This album sounds a bit like the Squares member who has learned from the master himself. As a result, this, his debut album, is a raw, minimal garage record. But wait, there’s more to it…he likes to experiment and his songs feature interesting use of percussion and other innovative instruments...
...Mr. Zero is the brainchild of former Squares and Thee Headcoats member Oli Dolot. A true veteran in the Garage/R&B scene, Oli masters the drums and guitar and creates primitive, beat-driven, haunting tunes worthy of the best Childish repertoire.
Oli is an expert in the Toe Rag recording style and the proud owner of a vintage studio and custom guitar shop. His style has a definite French Twist; he likes experimentation, minimalist yet complex songwriting, and the use of percussion and innovative instruments mixed with vintage equipment. All of these ingredients combine to produce original, raw and wild Garage music.
Voodoo’s Eros is his fabulous debut album filled with lyrics about the eroticism of cannibalism, criticism and exclusion, possession, bewitchment, and women. Fun, ironic lyrics, weird sounds, and cool beats drive the album from beginning to end. Give it a listen; you’ll be hooked! - gethip

The Datsuns "Deep Sleep" 2014

Rock band from Cambridge, New Zealand, formed in 2000 by Dolf de Borst (vocals, bass), Phil Buscke (guitar), Matt Osment (drums) and Christian Livingstone (guitar). Matt Osment left in 2006 and was replaced by Ben Cole. - discogs
To date they have released six albums and several singles, most of which have charted in New Zealand and/or the United Kingdom. Deep Sleep, their latest record was released in October 2014.
In 1995, while still at school, Rudolf de Borst (vocals, bass), Phil Somervell (guitar), and Matt Osment (drums) formed a band under the name Trinket. Christian Livingstone joined the band in 1997 as a second guitarist. They entered and won the 1999 89FM Battle of the Bands competition in Hamilton, New Zealand.
By 2000 the band had renamed themselves The Datsuns. In August 2000 they released their first single, "Super Gyration!," on 7 inch vinyl only. In July 2002, after featuring several times on John Peel's programme on the UK's BBC Radio 1 and being hailed as "the future of rock" by the British music press, the band signed with the V2 record label. Their self-titled debut album made a strong impression in the UK, as well as in Australia and New Zealand. The Datsuns toured Australia in 2002 with Melbourne band The Specimens and The Casanovas as well as playing a live to air on PBS radio.
The Datsuns won numerous awards over this period, including NME 's 'Best Live Band' and New Zealand Music Awards for 'Best Album', 'Best Group' and 'Breakthrough Artist'.
They played Ozzfest in 2003 on the mainstage alongside the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Marilyn Manson, Korn and Disturbed. They also played the main stage of the 2004 and 2009 Big Day Out festival and opened for Metallica on their Australian tour in 2004, but this did not go well. Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich had previously praised The Datsuns on the revival debut of Headbangers Ball, before playing their video for "In Love."
Their second album, Outta Sight, Outta Mind, was produced by Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones. It did not receive the same praise as the first, as critics gave it only a lukewarm response.
In October 2006, the Datsuns came back with Smoke & Mirrors, heralded as a return to form in Australia and New Zealand. The album was met with generally positive reviews, although it was not reviewed as widely as the band's first two efforts. After the release of the third album, drummer Matt Osment was replaced by Ben Cole.[1]
The Datsuns went on a New Zealand tour with Shihad during the Christmas/New Year period 2006/07.
The band then completed a tour of Europe to promote Smoke & Mirrors. Although they mostly played in locations that they previously had not visited, The Datsuns still managed to sell out the majority of their European dates.
The band's fourth album, Headstunts (an anagram of The Datsuns), was released on 6 October 2008. The band then toured in New Zealand, Australia and America, to try out new songs such as "Eye Of The Needle", "Human Error", "So Long", "Hey Paranoid People What's In Your Head", "Your Bones" and the limited edition single "Highschool Hoodlums".
To coincide with the release of Headstunts, the quartet embarked on a tour of the UK and Europe.[1]
The Datsuns' fifth studio album, titled Death Rattle Boogie, was released in October 2012. The album was recorded at Gutterview Recorders in Stockholm, with additional work at Roundhead Studios in New Zealand, and was produced by former Hellacopters frontman Nicke Andersson.
Their sixth studio album, titled Deep Sleep was released in October 2014. - wiki

The Celibate Rifles "Spaceman in a Satin Suite" 1994

Starting off with one of the hardest, fastest, ecstatic bursts of rock they've ever recorded ("Spirits"), Spaceman is a resounding assertion that this band's career is far from over…
...In fact, this record wipes the floor with nearly every note issued by the endless succession of post-Nirvana, MTV-approved alternative rock bands. Like the Ramones (and perhaps Motorhead), the Rifles seem to get better with age, and for all of us punks way past 30, that's life-affirming news. - AllMusic Review by John Dougan

"Motor City" The Motown Vocal Group Sound - disc 3 of 3

Featuring early recordings for Berry Gordy’s Tamla, Motown, Miracle, Gordy and Mel-O-Dy labels, plus others released on Anna, Tri-Phi and Harvey, all labels with Gordy associations, Motor City celebrates the beginning of a dynasty that would go on to generate more hits than any other independently owned record company in the world. In particular it explores the flourishing male vocal group sound that played such a significant role in the evolution of doo wop into soul…
...In the 1950’s Detroit was a jazz city, a thriving metropolis, with plentiful work in the car plants, and a lively nightclub scene, but by the end of the decade the sound of the city was changing. The new vocal sounds of Doo Wop and R&B were taking over, and it only needed one thing to spark the explosion of sound that followed. Berry Gordy, partly by chance, when groups came to him, but mostly by inspiration and innovation, and by using the best people available for each role, built an empire that has lasted over fifty years, and is still regarded as some of the best music ever to have been recorded!
Compiled by Laurence Cane-Honeysett and annotated by David Rimmer (of Soulful Kinda Music), the 89-track 3CD set Motor City: The Motown Vocal Group Sound features recordings by some of Motown’s most famous early vocals groups, The Miracles, The Temptations, The Contours and The Spinners, as well as records cut with vocal group accompaniment by solo artists including Marv Johnson, Eddie Holland, Barrett Strong and David Ruffin. Perhaps of most interest to collectors will be the many sides by lesser-known acts such as The Voice Masters, Chico Leverett, The Satintones, The Cap-Tans, The Equadors, Singin’ Sammy Ward, The Valadiers, The Five Quails and The Charters.

Pete Molinari "Walking Off The Map" 2006 + "One Stolen Moment" 2008 - EP

Repressing of the 2006 debut release by this artist, recorded live in producer Billy Childish's kitchen! Pete Molinari is a Folk / Blues singer/songwriter of Egyptian / Maltese parentage, raised in Chatham, England, where he was discovered by Childish…
...He's been playing solo for a few years, and has become a fixture in his hometown, and various London acoustic clubs. During an 18 month stint in America, he honed his unique vocal style playing the bars and cafes of New York's Greenwich Village like the Bitter End, the Gaslight, Cafe Wah and Caf‚ De L'Artists. It is refreshing to come across such a pure and special artist as Pete Molinari. Damaged Goods.

"One Stolen Moment" 2008 - EP
Early sixties throwback and expert singer of songs Pete Molinari returns with another excellent, authentically vintage sounding single, taking its lead track from his A Virtual Landslide LP. 'One Stolen Moment' is a ballad from an era before the Beatles and The Stones, and is up there with anything from the Richard Hawley songbook when it comes to nailing down period detail. On the flipside it all gets a little more Dylanesque, with an exclusive acoustic version of 'The Poet's Dream' and 'Love Lies Bleeding' from Molinari's previous album, Walking Off The Map.

The Celibate Rifles "Sofa" A Compilation, ed. 1993

Celibate Aussie's great punk groove...
This is a "best of" compilation of the Celibate Rifles spanning almost two decades. The material ranges in sound from early punk to a more thoughtful pop with a hard edge. If you have never heard the Celibate Rifles this is a great get aquainted cd. Their sound is very much in line with the great early Australian punk bands like The Saints, and Radio Birdman. The Celibate Rifles are more consistantly good than The Saints, and more prolific than Radio Birdman. The material on this cd is fairly difficult to find if you don't live in Australia, and the price is right. So if you are even remotely interested in hearing this great band now is your chance. - Kindle Customer

Rock band from Cambridge, New Zealand, formed in 2000 by Dolf de Borst (vocals, bass), Phil Buscke (guitar), Matt Osment (drums) and Christian Livingstone (guitar). Matt Osment left in 2006 and was replaced by Ben Cole. - discogs


To date they have released six albums and several singles, most of which have charted in New Zealand and/or the United Kingdom. Deep Sleep, their latest record was released in October 2014.
In 1995, while still at school, Rudolf de Borst (vocals, bass), Phil Somervell (guitar), and Matt Osment (drums) formed a band under the name Trinket. Christian Livingstone joined the band in 1997 as a second guitarist. They entered and won the 1999 89FM Battle of the Bands competition in Hamilton, New Zealand.
By 2000 the band had renamed themselves The Datsuns. In August 2000 they released their first single, "Super Gyration!," on 7 inch vinyl only. In July 2002, after featuring several times on John Peel's programme on the UK's BBC Radio 1 and being hailed as "the future of rock" by the British music press, the band signed with the V2 record label. Their self-titled debut album made a strong impression in the UK, as well as in Australia and New Zealand. The Datsuns toured Australia in 2002 with Melbourne band The Specimens and The Casanovas as well as playing a live to air on PBS radio.
The Datsuns won numerous awards over this period, including NME 's 'Best Live Band' and New Zealand Music Awards for 'Best Album', 'Best Group' and 'Breakthrough Artist'.
They played Ozzfest in 2003 on the mainstage alongside the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Marilyn Manson, Korn and Disturbed. They also played the main stage of the 2004 and 2009 Big Day Out festival and opened for Metallica on their Australian tour in 2004, but this did not go well. Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich had previously praised The Datsuns on the revival debut of Headbangers Ball, before playing their video for "In Love."
Their second album, Outta Sight, Outta Mind, was produced by Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones. It did not receive the same praise as the first, as critics gave it only a lukewarm response.
In October 2006, the Datsuns came back with Smoke & Mirrors, heralded as a return to form in Australia and New Zealand. The album was met with generally positive reviews, although it was not reviewed as widely as the band's first two efforts. After the release of the third album, drummer Matt Osment was replaced by Ben Cole.[1]
The Datsuns went on a New Zealand tour with Shihad during the Christmas/New Year period 2006/07.
The band then completed a tour of Europe to promote Smoke & Mirrors. Although they mostly played in locations that they previously had not visited, The Datsuns still managed to sell out the majority of their European dates.
The band's fourth album, Headstunts (an anagram of The Datsuns), was released on 6 October 2008. The band then toured in New Zealand, Australia and America, to try out new songs such as "Eye Of The Needle", "Human Error", "So Long", "Hey Paranoid People What's In Your Head", "Your Bones" and the limited edition single "Highschool Hoodlums".
To coincide with the release of Headstunts, the quartet embarked on a tour of the UK and Europe.[1]
The Datsuns' fifth studio album, titled Death Rattle Boogie, was released in October 2012. The album was recorded at Gutterview Recorders in Stockholm, with additional work at Roundhead Studios in New Zealand, and was produced by former Hellacopters frontman Nicke Andersson.
Their sixth studio album, titled Deep Sleep was released in October 2014. - wiki

Brix Smith "Neurotica" 2007 + "Happy Unbirthday EP" 1997

Nearly 20 years after Brix Smith left the Fall, bringing to a close its most pop-oriented and commercially successful phase, and 18 years after the release of the sole full-length album by her '60s-obsessed jangle pop combo the Adult Net, she makes an unexpected return to music with her first solo album, Neurotica. Written, performed, and recorded in collaboration with British producer Dare Mason (Cinerama, Placebo, etc.) and former Church guitarist Marty Willson-Piper, Neurotica is a pleasant but relentlessly polite guitar pop record that lacks the compelling hooks of the best Adult Net songs and the passionate energy of Smith's tenure with the Fall…
...Even the best songs, the Garbage-like alt-rocker "Orangina" and the poppier "Little Wounds," suffer from Smith's dispassionate vocals and obscure, seemingly nonsensical lyrics. (For example, "Orangina" doesn't seem to be using the European soft drink as any kind of metaphor: she really is just singing about a blend of orange juice and club soda.) Too many of the other songs are merely agreeable bits of jangly guitars and Smith's high-register deadpan vocals, with all the structural heft and substance of meringue. It's nice to have Brix Smith back, but Neurotica is a disappointingly tame and half-hearted return. - AllMusic Review by Stewart Mason

The Celibate Rifles are an Australian punk rock band founded in 1979 in Sydney. The antithesis of a sex pistol is a celibate rifle, but Australia’s Celibate Rifles are anything but the opposite of loud, snotty and fast. A fusion between Detroit-style straight-ahead hard rock and Ramones pop, steeped in Stooges and Radio Birdman milk, the Rifles began as a party-time Sydney band, racing through deliberately silly and simple Ramonesque lyrics (“What about the kids? Get a baby sitter…and some kitty litter”) with three fast/loud chords. But unlike the Ramones, the Rifles insert loud, sinewy guitar solos between the slash’n’burn verses and, on tracks like the 7-inch Jacques‘ “24 Hours,” warped and warbly guitar effects... - trouserpress

The Moberlys "The Moberlys" 1978

For aficionados of late '70s American power-pop, the Moberlys' eponymous debut may be something of a lost treasure…
...Falling halfway between sunny, innocent '60s guitar-pop and ironic, nervy post-punk pop à la Jonathan Richman, the Moberlys are garage punks that have their hearts set on being obnoxious, but their talents lie in effortlessly catchy miniture pop songs. That means that the raucous hardcore-wannabe "She Got Fucked" encapsulates their attitude but not their sound. The Moberlys and lead singer/songwriter Jim Basnight were into catchy little songs and this debut shows that they could pull it off with the right amount of snotty defiance. The Moberlys is the kind of record that will only appeal to hardcore power-pop fans, but they'll discover that it's a real find. - AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

The Celibate Rifles "Roman Beach Party" 1987

When it comes to rock'n'roll, the Australians hold very nearly all the aces. The Americans have got the Ramones, we've got the Stupids and the Swedes have got zillions of Rolling Stones rip-off merchants, but the Australians have got 4,000 miles of prime beach front property just pounding with rock'n'roll...
...It's a tradition that runs all the way back to Radio Birdman and The Saints, that will perhaps reach it's apogee next spring with the London debut of the Hard-Ons. And it's a tradition that Sydney's Celibate Rifles have upheld for something like eight years.
Onstage at the Roman Beach Party, superhuman, dry and droll vocalist Damien Lovelock sports a stupid def Ronettes T-shirt while mad axe murderer and tree surgeon Kent "Rumoroso" Steedman wears one of Christopher Reeves' Superman cast-offs. They've both put the knees out of their jeans. It's small details like these which define the cut-off and thrust sound of the Rifles.
Because while songs like the savage and godlike Jesus On TV expose the Rifles' sawn off rock potential all the way down to the bleached white of the bone, the lyrics reveal all the anger, insight and humour that makes the Celibate Rifles one of the most powerful rock bands in the world today. -Roger Holland, SOUNDS, 21 November 1987
