OUT NOW! THE HYDROMATICS - PARTS UNKNOWN BANG!-LP180

The Hydromatics feature a genuine Detroit legend in Scott Morgan, from Sonic’s Rendezvous Band (alongside the MC5’s Fred “Sonic” Smith). Morgan formed the Hydromatics alongside Nicke Royale (The Hellacopters) and guitarist Tony Slug (Loveslug) in 1998 and released an awesome debut album in ’99 called Parts Unknown that revisited the Motor City rock sounds of yesteryear in the form of a modern-day power punk rawk outfit, which is now finally being reissued. The album starts with a burning remake of “Earthy” from Sonic´s Rendezvous Band and continues to smoke all through. No ballads. Morgan sings his ass off and the band provides much sonic firepower to back up his massive vocal gusto, switching gears effortlessly between hard rock and smoky soul. It’s a potent cocktail for sure and one that fans of this genre would be foolish to pass up on. Absolutely necessary for fans of Sonic´s Rendezvous Band, MC5, Stooges, The Hellacopters, Bored!....

Not for diehard punk or metal fans, this is a treat best enjoyed by cats who like to rock n’ roll and dig the swingin’ sounds of the ’60s…albeit as pounded through walls of Marshals and a thick curtain of horns and noise.

Absolutely necessary for fans of Sonic´s Rendezvous Band, MC5, Stooges, The Hellacopters, Bored!....

OUT NOW!!!! THE NOMADS “Sonla”

LP Ref: BANG!-LP 179

Expanded reissue, originally released in 2012.

The formula is simple: a strong frontman, Nick Vahlberg, a guitar hero, Hans Ostlund, a powerful drummer, Joakim Werning, and a multi-talented bassist and composer, Bjorne Froberg.

The Nomads are an institution in Europe after more than 40 years of career.

Their last album, Solna, was named after the Stockholm neighbourhood from which they emerged in 1981, paving the way for the garage rock scene of the time.

"Aside from the Pebbles compilations, not much was known about the garage bands of the '60s and many people first heard those great songs in The Nomads version," according to Chips K (famous Swedish producer -- Hellacopters, la Secta -- and member of Sator).

"But one thing that distinguishes the band from many other revival bands is that they never just copied the sound of the originals. They added extra influences such as punk, power pop and hard rock. That special recipe is what still makes their sound unique."

Bands like The Hellacopters, Maharajas, and Sator are direct descendants of what The Nomads created.

They were closer to Australian punk rock and took varied influences to create something completely their own. If they decided to cover something, it seemed to be their own song.

Another aspect that makes them stand out from many of their contemporaries is their chemistry. Live like an engine, and in a perfect world, they should have had hit after hit. Anyone who doubts this statement should pick up a copy of the Nomadic Dementia compilation, and it will be clear that we are not just talking about it.

The band even accompanied Roky Erickson on a single festival date and the former 13th Floor Elevators' ex-wife paid Hans a huge compliment.

"Right after the show, she told me, 'You're the best guitarist Roky has had since Duane (Aslaksen)."

The Nomads deliver hair-raising authenticity of rock and roll with unsurpassed purity.

Nobody coughs on them or will cough on them. They are still as good as ever. In fact, they are probably even better now.

After many years of career, The Nomads produced their strongest album to date.

The group perfected their sound, live and in the studio.

Solna is the distilled essence of what The Nomads are known for.

TRACKLIST:

01. The Nomads - Miles Away

02. The Nomads - Hangman's Walk

03. The Nomads - The Bad Times Will Do Me Good

04. The Nomads - You Won't Break My Heart

05. The Nomads - Don't Kill The Messenger

OUT NOW!!!!... THE CELIBATE RIFLES “Spaceman In A Satin Suit” LP
Ref: BANG!-LP177

High-level reissue of one of the legendary and world-renowned bands that emerged in Australia, essential for any lover and collector of Australian Rock and Punk Rock / High Energy.
'Spaceman In A Satin Suit' was released in 1994, it is one of his best and most mature works in his discography, and for the first time on vinyl since its initial release.

The 14 songs of the Celibate Rifles introduce you with an electric storm, oppressively dense, hard and heavy, which then becomes faster, sharper and stronger, where they overflow Punk, which remains their hallmark, with sharp guitars, wounded and full of fury, until they reach a kind of breaking point towards a more experimental part, together generating an interesting sonic boom (The Ramones team up with Blue Oyster Cult in a particularly gloomy alley).

Lovelock's lyrics exude more optimism than on previous LPs and this peaks with 'Big World', a declaration of love to his beloved planet Earth. There is also room for his usual biting social commentary.

On the album we also find a tribute to one of his musical influences, 'Let's Do It Again' by Sonic's Rendezvous Band (with the participation of Fred 'Sonic' Smith, ex-MC5).

This great LP reflects the simple spirit of the Rifles' rock'n'roll with catchy choruses and signature guitars, with another part that they began to play with after this album, a more experimental and introspective side.

OUT NOW!!!! THE KILL DEVIL HILLS “Matango!”, LP
Ref: BANG!-LP170

The sixth studio album, Matango!, by Western Australian band The Kill Devil Hills is out on Bang! Records.
The new album has ten songs, that -- according to the band's own words -- reference "global unrest and displacement, near-future scenarios, climate catastrophe, pandemic vortices, the Simpsons, the grace of women, refugees and boat people, Cold War paranoia, the creative process itself, and of course Australia and its peculiar place in things."
Matango! had a few different birthplaces over the 2018-19 period: an old house in the hills of Perth, back porches in Fremantle, a Prague apartment, a French country villa in the swelter of summer, and a lonely pandemic piano. A strange and sinewy beast of an album, it's a departure from earlier KDH work: minimal, leering with glitching drum samples, synth swells, empty spaces, and a soup of fat bass tones to float it all in.
Recording started about two weeks before lockdowns did in Australia. So everything went into that unique hibernation mode for a while, but the album beds were largely done. Work eventually recommenced, discovering what was there, reshaping and re-recording some tracks, and throwing in an experimental opening salvo which is largely free of regular instruments, more a montage of samples and textures, written on a piano and then deconstructed into a spectral hiss and wail.
The album title obliquely refers to the 1963 Japanese psychological horror film of the same name (directed by Godzilla/kaiju maestro Ishiro Honda).

TRACKLIST:
01. The Kill Devil Hills - Survivor Guilt
02. The Kill Devil Hills - This is Karrakatta
03. The Kill Devil Hills - The Day the Dinosaurs Died
04. The Kill Devil Hills - Prescribed Burns
05. The Kill Devil Hills - Atomic Kitty

The Zeros is an American punk-rock group formed in 1976 in Chula Vista, California.
The band was originally formed with Javier Escovedo (vocals/guitar), Robert Lopez (guitar), Héctor Penalosa (bass) and Baba Chenelle (drums).
Often referred to as "the Mexican Ramones," they were just one of many contributors to the city of Los Angeles' punk explosion in the late '70s. However, they never received the acclaim of their contemporaries Black Flag, Circle Jerks, or Germs and Wipers.
They have more followers and fans outside of the United States, especially in Europe and Spain.
The label "the Mexican Ramones" did not consider their other revealing influences: pre-punk and garage-rock bands. The Zeros make it evident on this album, releasing covers of New York Dolls among others. But the originals, for example, "They Say (That Everything's Alright)" and "Handgrenade Heart," also exploit the spirit of loud, strident rock. There are also slow and melodic, sloppy and dirty pop songs to satisfy all tastes.
The quartet broke up in 1981, reformed sporadically for live shows, and recorded a 1999 album Right Now!. An excellent album. Ideal to have a good time and enjoy good rock.

Tracklist:
01. The Zeros - Right Now!
02. The Zeros - Do The Swim
03. The Zeros - Handgrenade Heart
04. The Zeros - Hurry, Hurry, Hurry
05. The Zeros - Tonight
06. The Zeros - Pushin´ Too Hard
07. The Zeros - Cosmetic Couple
08. The Zeros - Rico Amour
09. The Zeros - Girl On The Block
10. The Zeros - They Say (That Everything´s Alright)
11. The Zeros - Sneakin´ Out
12. The Zeros - Chatterbox
13. The Zeros - Talkin´
14. The Zeros - You, Me, Us
15. The Zeros - Siamese Tease
16. The Zeros - Yo No Quiero
17. The Zeros - Main Street Brat
18. The Zeros - Black-N-White
