    The 5.6.7.8's are a Japanese rock trio, whose music is reminiscent of American surf music, rockabilly and garage rock. They frequently cover songs from American rock and roll. All members are from Tokyo, Japan.

    The 5.6.7.8's first started performing as a quartet in Tokyo, and recruited guest performers during their Australian tour, once even utilizing a male member, "Eddie". They first officially became a trio in 1992, before touring Australia.

    The 5.6.7.8's made a brief appearance in the 2003 Quentin Tarantino film Kill Bill Volume 1, where they were shown playing barefoot in an izakaya.

    It's hard to believe, but it was 20 years ago when dinosaur first roamed the back roads and byways of central massachusetts.  J Mascis, Lou Barlow and Murph formed their band in 1984 in the sleepy college town of amherst, ma, and went on to change the face of rock forever¦whether they actually ever intended to or not.

    Long before the folks in seattle were raiding thrift stores for flannel, dinosaur jr. Laid the groundwork for a seismic shift in the underground rock scene. These first three albums, with their sonic wall of melodic bass, furious drums and stunning guitar wizardry, coupled with an almost laissez faire vocal delivery, became the sonic blueprint for what would become known as alternative rock over the next decade.

    Dinosaur jr. Single-handedly moved the indie scene from the rigid ideology and rapid fire bursts of hardcore and post-punk into a new era of introspective yet no less powerful expression. Instead of dismissing the influences of 60s and 70s rock, as had been the rallying cry of punk, Dinosaur jr. embraced the heavy guitar riffs and melodic underpinnings of a bygone era, and created a full on sonic assault that took the world by surprise if not by storm. 

    Some folks called it the perfect union of sonic youth and neil young, and when it's all said and done that's as good a reference point as any. The influence that dinosaur jr. Has had on their peers and future generations of musicians/bands is immeasurable. 

    Now, 20 years since the release of their self-titled debut  that left folks scratching their heads (yet at the same time hungry for more) sweet nothing/cargo is honoured to bring these three classic cds back into print after years of scattered availability.

    Originally released on two of the most influential independent labels of the times ' Homestead and SST ' Dinosaur, you're living all over me and bug will now be available to an entirely new generation of music fans.  If there is any justice these recordings will be just as influential the second time around¦

    Remastered and reissued with original cover artwork, booklet contains never-before seen images that are sure to electrify longtime fans.  Bonus materials include videos for classic tracks little fury things, just like heaven.  

    Also included are extensive new liner notes compiled by music writer/gadfly Byron Coley featuring interviews/commentary from Thurston Moore, Mike Watt and Robert Pollard

    Acclaimed filmmaker allison anders also contributed liner notes for bug.  But really, who needs extra bells and whistles?  These albums contain so much raw power and melodic tension that they speak well enough for themselves, as seminal pieces of american rock and roll history.

    Icarus Line 'Penance Soiree'

    £8.99

    Icarus Line have always trumpeted squawk over rock convention, but Penance Soiree jacks that ante from the very first measure of "Up Against the Wall." Sneering like a crack whore Mick Jagger ("Why can't I get some fo' free?!") and swallowing the bassline howl whole, Icarus vocalist Joe Cardamone makes sex the type of thing to be scared of.

    There's post-punk in here -- that angularness that's the rage with operators too cool for things like "smelling nice" and "having a job." Icarus Line will attract these couture ghouls, no question. But Penance Soiree might also have true and valorous mass appeal, a shelf life past its buzz as an export from the land of inky black hair styles. Don't doubt it: Icarus Line are crazy. But listen to that melodic preen in "Spike Island," and the way its guitars roar and teeter for an unavoidable groove -- this isn't the inaccessible intellectualism of Mars Volta, or Liars' distempered noise quackery. No, Icarus Line are uniters, not dividers. Even when "On the Lash" loses interest in its cracked psychedelia and rides Cardamone's reverbed wail into a pile of ridiculous static muck, it reengages with fresh crackling fury.

    "I can feeeeeeeel it," he screams over the pound, and it's better than hearing Van Halen for the very first time. The rest of Soiree is no slouch, either, cleverly weaving between the cones of insularity and throbbing accessibility. "Getting Bright at Night" is nine minutes of Karl Wallinger binging on old 4AD records, the beat-damaged "Caviar" invites the world to its druggy key party, and "Virgin Velcro" tears a hole in the disco ball to find strutting heavy metal inside. As serious as things get on Penance Soiree (and the choppy "Spit On" gets pretty serious), there's the happily nagging notion that Icarus Line just want to entertain, and that they're damn good at it. The notion pays off in the last two minutes. "Party the Baby Off," behind all that squelch and trebly production, is just T. Rex classic rock with a message for the kids: "Tonight, take off all your clothes." Icarus Line -- pop's new heartthrobs. - Allmusic

    Sweet Nothing

    Inger Lorre & The Chiefs of Infinity 'Snowflake'

    £6.99

    Limited to 500 copies worldwide on Snowflake white vinyl.

    Infamous former front woman for seminal band, the Nymphs, Inger Lorre is making her long overdue return to the music scene.  Following up 1999's solo record, Transcendental Medication and the collectable Motel Shootout single, Burn (1995) with a 7 single.

    Inger admits her return to the music scene has been a long journey,  The music I hear on commercial radio stations is mostly uninspiring. It makes me think how lucky I was to be part of that grunge scene and witness the success of bands like Sonic Youth.  So I've been gathering my energy.  For me making music is the easy part, dealing with people at major labels ' that was always hard.  I never understood the value my music might have to others - I credit Jeff Buckley with making me see that.  Until that point I didn't feel like I was doing anything important or good¦When Jeff died it was just one week after my father passed away, and it took me a long time to be able to move on from that trauma.

    Why now?  Having good people around me such as Henry Rollins and my long-time publicist and friend Faye has helped me feel strong and safe enough to create new music.  I'm glad to step back into the music industry, independently and on my own terms ' I feel empowered.  I also have a new band that are young, talented and full of enthusiasm!

    Inger is currently working on a new album, but welcomes the opportunity to be involved in Record Store Day, I want to really celebrate the spirit of independence - record stores ran by music fans for music fans. These are the people I want to make great music for!

    Snowflake is a song summing up the horror and the fear involved in addiction. I'm very pale skinned and 'Snowflake' was my street name.  As a teenager and young adult I was trapped in a self-medicating addiction, as a form of protection against physical & verbal abuse and constantly being around alcoholism. As much as it harmed me it also saved me from becoming a teenage suicide. This song is the sound of me walking through fire. Hate in my Heart is about the downside of relationships, confused emotions and the fine line between love & hate.  It's also about making the decision not to take anymore bullshit.

    Sweet Nothing

    Inger Lorre 'Live At The Viper Room'

    £11.99

    Bundle with Purple 2xLP + 'Snowflake' 7" available.

    Purple vinyl - Infamous Nymphs front woman Inger Lorre celebrates how vital her songs still sound today, with a live recording of a sold-out show at the legendary Viper Room.

    The set includes classic Nymphs tracks, ‘Sad & Damned’, ode to a serial killer ‘The Highway’ and the mourning swirl of ‘Imitating Angels’, with the addition of a cover of Siouxsie & The Banshees ‘Monitor’.

    This live album is raw and primal; tribal, glamorous, witch-y, grunge-y, punk. Inger states, “These songs are the sound of me walking through fire…” Lorre’s cult following has grown in strength of late, with the seminal self-titled debut album re issued by Rock Candy Records and 2 new songs released for Record Store Day. Encouraged by the interest she is recording a new album, tentatively planned for an autumn release.

    Often seen as musician’s musician (once dubbed by Jeff Buckley as ‘The Patron Saint of Fucked-Over Musicians’) and having worked with the likes of Iggy Pop and Henry Rollins, sadly Inger’s notoriety often eclipsed her darkly beautiful music. Haunted by the infamy of a band that burned brightly all too briefly, before imploding in a devastation of bereavement, addiction, mental health issues and misguided record company dealings. No one will ever forget the desk pissing incident.

    Inger Lorre is a music industry legend. These days Inger Lorre has mostly conquered her own demons - exorcised through art, music and time to heal. What comes next will no doubt be unique as the women herself.

    “Inger retains her strength as a songwriter and performer without losing any of her sensitivity, fragility and danger. I always look forward to what she does, it never disappoints” – Henry Rollins

    "The Nymphs were a very original underground band with a unique sound and GREAT songs" - Iggy Pop

    “Inger Lorre is a magician, a shaman…that kind of witch-doctor ability for live performing” – Eric Avery, Jane’s Addiction

Alienist is the follow-up to 2014's highly acclaimed Snakes which in part, explored Genesis Breyer P-Orridges foray into African Voudoun culture, the title track of which will be used in the forthcoming documentary Bight Of The Twin, which focuses on Genesis'explorations in Benin, Africa.

    Alienist in part explores drummer and Psychic TV's co-producer Edley ODowd's fascination of Psychic TVs long-time reinterpretation of contemporary rock classics - this time tackling 'Jump Into The Fire' by the late Harry Nilsson as well as Genesis'teenage favourite 'How Does It Feel To Feel' by '60s British psychedelic rockers The Creation.

    Original tracks include the haunting yet emotional ' Looking For You'. An epic journey in which Genesis lets Lucifer himself know that his time is over'as well as the title track Alienist'. A delightful fusion of dance grooves harking back to PTVs Acid House days and the Genesis and the bands current love of heavy psychedelic rock.

    Look for plenty of live dates in support of Alienist including a major concert at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire on November 7.

    Psychic TV 'The Evening Sun Turns Crimson'

    £11.99

    A live musical performance to Derek Jarman's 'In The Shadow of the Sun'. Recorded live at Cafe OTO, London, England ' May 23, 2017.

    Derek Jarman's 'In The Shadow of the Sun' forms part of a series of films, shot and edited on s8mm, grouped under the collective title 'The Art of Mirrors'. 'In The Shadow of the Sun' is the longest of these running at 54 minutes.

    Filming took place between 1972-74 and the film was completed in 1974. When Derek showed the film he would play Verdi's requiem as an accompaniment. In 1980 the FDK in Berlin agreed to make a 16mm blow up of the s8mm film to be shown at the Berlinale forum.

    The footage was blown-up to 16mm by John Hall of Colour Technique. Derek felt that the new version should have a new accompaniment and, with this in mind, approached Throbbing Gristle to provide the music.

    In May 23 of 2017, Psychic TV performed two live soundtracks to 'In The Shadow of the Sun' at Cafe OTO in London.

    The recordings on this LP were made that night. The finished film was premiered at the Berlin film festival in february 1981. In 2018 the British Film Institute undertook the making of a 2k scan from the 16mm negative and sound.

    Filmed & edited by Derek Jarman.

    16mm version produced by James Mackay.

    Original soundtrack by Throbbing Gristle.

    For thee realization of this project Psychic TV were: Genesis Breyer P-Orridge: violin, Edley ODowd: drums and percussion, Alice Genese: flute, Jeff Berner: guitar, John Weingarten: keyboards - Live mixing by Matski, Album produced by Edley ODowd

    Music critics and fans agree, Redd Kross is back and delivering their signature brand of genuine rock 'n roll with a vengeance. Founded 34 years ago in Los Angeles during the first wave of LA punk rock by brothers Jeff and Steven McDonald (then respectively 15 and 11 years old), Redd Kross cut their teeth opening for Black Flag at a middle school graduation party.

    Their debut recordings caught the attention of Rodney Bingenheimer, who quickly became a fan as he spun their Ramones inspired songs like “Annette's Got The Hits” and "I Hate My School" on the world famous KROQ. Their following releases maintained roots still firmly planted in punk, but the band started to experiment with different musical elements and band members. Redd Kross boldly broke new ground by intuitively and inventively mixing their eclectic inspirations in song and performance.

    They understand and embrace the esoteric commonalities between the Partridge Family and the Manson Family; the Beatles and Black Sabbath; The Osmonds and the New York Dolls. The result was a band that was ahead of their time - daringly original, artistic and uncontrived. Records like “Teen Babes from Monsanto”, “Born Innocent” and “Neurotica” became precursors to the Seattle bands of the 90's, as well as becoming an inspiration to many indie and alternative rock bands worldwide. “(Redd Kross) are definitely one of the most important bands in America” - Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore In 1990 the band released their major label debut, “Third Eye”.

    Taking their obsession with late 60's bubblegum am radio to a new level, the song writing matured with more complex arrangements, harmonies and lush production. Redd Kross had their first single chart “Annie's Gone”(#16 billboard modern rock), and began to tour with notable artists such as Sonic Youth, The Go-Go's, The Posies, Jellyfish, The Lemonheads, and the Hoodoo Gurus. Robert Hecker took leave as lead guitarist and the McDonald brothers were joined by Eddie Kurdziel (guitar), Brian Reitzell (drums), and Gere Fennelly (keyboards).

    They released the critically acclaimed “Phaseshifter” album in 1993 featuring the hit songs “Jimmy's Fantasy”, “Lady In The Front Row”, and a raucous cover of Frightwig’s “Crazy World”. In 1997, Redd Kross released one of their most polished albums, “Show World” featuring the perfectly crafted pop single, “Mess Around”. After supporting the album by touring with Sloan and the Presidents of the United States, the band went on a much needed hiatus. Fans wondered when they would return, and things seemed more uncertain after the untimely passing of guitarist Eddie Kurdziel in 1999.

    The McDonald brothers launched www.ReddKross.com and began to reconnect with their fans and make new ones. They experimented with the new medium just as innovatively as they do with their music - Steven McDonald released an online only mashup album called “Redd Blood Cells” by adding bass tracks to the White Stripes album, Jeff McDonald began podcasting (“Hit It!”) before iPods or podcasts were invented, and also released a web based video series (Bitchin' Ass”) far ahead of YouTube.Redd Kross reissued their classic “Neurotica” album as they worked on a variety of other projects including “Ze Malibu Kids”, “The Steven McDonald Group”, and worked in various capacities with other bands on stage and in the studio such as the Donnas, Turbonegro, Imperial Teen, Anna Waronker, be your own pet, fun., Sparks, Tenacious D, Beck and OFF!.

    In 2006, Jeff and Steven announced their reunion with the “classic Neurotica” line up – and were joined once again by guitarist Robert Hecker (IT’S OK) and drummer Roy McDonald (the Muffs). Redd Kross have been playing to enthusiastic audiences at sold out select shows and festivals such as the Azkena Festival, Coachella, The HooDoo Gurus’ Invitational - “Dig It Up”, All Tomorrow's Parties, and Pop Montréal. “Researching the Blues” is the highly anticipated new record. It is their first new album in 15 years and will be released on Sweet Nothing August 6th, 2012.

    Sweet Nothing

    Various Artists 'The Ballad Of Genesis And Lady Jaye: Music From The Motion Picture'

    £21.99

    Music soundtrack to the intimate, affecting portrait of the life and work of ground-breaking performance artist and music pioneer Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV) and his other half and collaborator, Lady Jaye, centered around the daring sexual transformations the pair underwent for their Pandrogyne project.

    Featuring music by Psychic TV, Thee Majesty and his other collaborations. Genesis P-Orridge has been one of the most innovative and influential figures in music and fine art for the last 30 years. A link between the pre- and post-punk eras, he is the founder of the legendary groups COUM Transmissions (1969-1976), Throbbing Gristle (1975-1981), and Psychic TV (1981 to present), all of which merged performance art with rock music.

    Celebrated by critics and art historians as a progenitor of industrial music, his innovations have transformed the character of rock and electronic music while his prodigious efforts to expand the boundaries of live performance have radically altered the way people experience sound in a concert setting. But that's just the preamble to the story.

    Defying artistic boundaries, Genesis has re-defined his art as a challenge to the limits of biology. In 2000, Genesis began a series of surgeries in order to more closely resemble his love, Lady Jaye (née Jacqueline Breyer), who remained his other half and artistic partner for nearly 15 years.

    It was the ultimate act of devotion, and Genesis's most risky, ambitious, and subversive performance to date: he became a she in a triumphant act of artistic self-expression. Genesis called this project Creating the Pandrogyne. Influenced, like so much of Genesis work, by Brion Gysin and William Burroughs Cut Ups , it was an attempt to deconstruct two individual identities through the creation of an indivisible third. This is a love story, and a portrait of two lives that illustrate the transformative powers of both love and art. Marie Losier brings to us the most intimate details of Genesis's extraordinary, uncanny world. In warm and intimate images captured handheld, Losier crafts a labyrinthine mise-en-scene of interviews, home movies, and performance footage. The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye documents a truly new brand of Romantic consciousness, one in defiance of the daily dehumanization of the body by the pervasive presence of advertising and pornography, conveying beauty, dignity and devotion from a perspective never before seen on film. www.balladofgenesisandladyjaye.com
