The hockey-masked punk slashers, The Jasons are back from Camp Crystal Lake with a couple of new releases in the distro. A reissue of their long since sold out 2017 album 'Get Fu**ed' as well as a brand new split 7" alongside Italy's Ratbones. Not only that, but our favourite Indianapolis pop punkers The Putz return with a new 4 track 7". Their first release since 2022.

These are available in limited numbers and will likely sell fast.

I love a good cover version. I love it when a band takes a song and makes it their own rather than just curling out a carbon copy of the original. I also love it when I get to release a 7" with two the UK's finest DIY bands covering their favourite songs. With that in mind...

"DEALING WITH DINOSAURS" is a 4 track split 7" from Dinosaur Skull & Dealing With Damage and it's OUT NOW on Brassneck Records! No pre-orders, just order a copy today and it'll be in the post before you have to wake up on Monday morning.

Dinosaur Skull (ex-WERECATS) are a Croydon-based duo who utilise their unique blend of post-punk and pop punk to provide stellar covers of BIG DRILL CAR and DOGPISS. Meanwhile, Londoners Dealing With Damage (ex-SINK, DONE LYING DOWN, etc) present their finely honed tributes to THE CURE and THE SLITS. The Slits cover also features the vocal stylings of Walter Schreifels' favourite band (probably), Yootha Today!

There are 250 of these records on dino green vinyl and you can get them via the link in the comments. There's also a bandcamp link where you can pick up a digital version for whatever price you think fair.

FREE RECORDS!

This went really well last time so let's do it again.

If you make an order from Brassneck before the end of the weekend (midnight on Sunday 14th July), I will send a free record (of my choice) with your order.

Buy a 7", get a free 7". Buy an LP, get a free LP. Buy loooads of records and you'll probably get more than one free record.

As with last time, all free records will be brand new punk records. There are no catches or tricks here.

The Rivalry album came out just under a year ago.

If you missed it, the band is made up of Mackie (BLITZ / EPIC PROBLEM), Mark (DOWN & OUTS / THE NO MARKS) & Pete (WRONG LIFE / MILLIE MANDERS & THE SHUTUP) and they occupy that space somewhere between Epic Problem and the Down & Outs.

I mention this as there's a nice review in the new edition of Vive Le Rock.

Brassneck is handling the UK pre-orders for 2 new Stardumb Records releases.

Firstly, a reissue of the debut album of Denmark’s finest, The 20 Belows Originally released in 2006 by Whoa-Oh Records on CD only, Stardumb and Whoa Oh are excited to finally get this out to the world on vinyl.

Also, the first new Zatopeks album in 11 years which is one of the best things I've typed all week. There's a new Zatopeks album coming! Amazing! Anyway, here’s what Larry Livermore of Lookout Records has to say about it:
“There are many things to love about the Zatopeks – their wit and intelligence alone sets them apart from many run-of-the-mill punk bands – but I’m especially fond of the way they add a hefty dollop of 50s rock and roll and doo-wop to the mix, and how they don’t shy away from vital political issues, both past and present, yet manage to avoid beating you over the head with them. […] They’re one of those rare bands that continues to get better with age, and whose music continues to yield new treasures on repeated listenings.”

Both of these releases are available to pre-order from Brassneck now via the link in the comments, but if you're in Europe, go direct to Stardumb. In the US, go to The Machine Shop and in Australia, Endless Detention Records has you covered.

Brassneck Records is back from Japan. Thanks everyone for bearing with me for the last couple of weeks. All orders will be posted over the weekend as will any new orders for people wanting to help finance the next batch of releases. There's 3 at the pressing plant right now with more set to follow soon. In the meantime, here's a picture of Record Shop Base. A fantastic punk specialist store in Tokyo that adequately illustrates the records to cardboard ratio all us little record vendors deal with, but that you rarely see first hand.
