[engl] Sérgio Augusto Bustamante was a flight attendant. He flew by the Southern Cross, Panair and Varig. In the sky, above the clouds, he used to daydream about Elvis. One day, he came down from the heights and he added a "u" to the Russian name Sergei, which he took out from a friend. He put on his boots and with them he embarked in an exciting trail of Rock’n’ Roll. Like a dreamer, he let emerge in all its fullness the figure of a rebellious, argumentative, naive and, above all, authentic character. His true self, Serguei. With his colorful clothes, long hair, red contact lenses, and in his hands, the hippies’ flag of peace & love, the anti-commercial Serguei, through several decades, carried on his back the weight of a public image much bigger than the work he was able to produce. Marginalized by option, Serguei tried psychedelia, tropicalism, and even Brazilian folk music without, however, settling down in any musical style. Between 1966 and 1975, which correspond to his musically bolder period of time, his work materialized erratically through records released sporadically, which succumbed in the presence of the singer’s strong image. Archetype of Keith Richards rocker’s style but without the drugs (for many!), Serguei was just a caricature, whose work was just a prop. "I've never been recognized, few people give me value," he told to the magazine Pop in April 1978. Despite his short adventure with singer Janis Joplin (in the summer of 1970 in Rio) has always been the most prominent reason in articles about him, were the records he released between the years 60 and 70 that caught the attention of collectors and of people who have special appreciation for rock produced at that time .. Serguei self named “psychedelic” long before everyone. He sang his hallucinations, found someone from alpha centaur and went in search of peace, from sunrise to sunset. You can find his work in compilations like GUITAR FUZZ BANANAS. His music ranges from psychedelic to garage psych with some folk psych tunes. Fuelled in fuzz and arrangements that are typical of genius. This man, SERGUEI is maybe Brazil's best kept secret in music from the 60's/70's...

[engl] KURT are back, and they're better than ever! Their 3rd full album was exceeding the highest of our expectations! This LP finally captures their sound at its full potential: Razor-sharp guitars, a thundering bass and full-on driving drums, all totally tight and compact, and at the same time clear and crisp! All of the reations we ever got on this record, were exclusively like "Wow! Great! Amazing!" - So you can be sure that this is a record you don't want to miss out!

[engl] Hooray, here it is: Brandnew single, released on our very own label! Two new (previously unreleased!) SMASH hits by the SLEAFORD MODS, who stunned the world earlier this year with their "Austerity Dogs" LP! Rants and raps paired with sparse drum-beats and bass-sounds. As references to their sound, you may cite names like LAST POETS(!), Gil Scott-Heron or John Cooper Clarke, as well as the SEX PISTOLS, THE FALL, or early THE STREETS/Mike Skinner... All of that, and then again now for something completely different. Not to forget their savage poetic knocks (against the music-scene and industry, and all that consumerish crap of today). "Agit-Punk-Rap'n'Rant" maybe? Punk (as fuck) made with the means of Hip-Hop.

[engl] They are perhaps the best sound advert for a non- english speaking garage psych band living in the very instant of here and now. 12 tracks driven by the schizofrenic Diatron organ of Alex Romera and powerfull fuzz chords trough the fingers of Mr Fiuza. Ten original songs, and two covers, inspired on the most obsure music made in the 60’s. This brazilian guys aren’t here to play around, this is serious mindblowing music. ”Before redemption we can finally back too obscurity”.

[engl] Marvin are a three piece band from Montpellier France. Two years of marathon songwriting sessions, passionate collaboration, and meticulous engineering have resulted in Barry, their third album, second for Africantape and the first in the USA for Sick Room Records LTD. Marvin is known across Europe for their frenetic live shows, and this record is an attempt to capture the feeling. Like three mighty gods, Emilie, Greg and Fred use all their powers to create some of the most glorious, sexy electro-punk to sweep across the landscape. Imagine that a storm is brewing, the heavens torn asunder. From the west you have solid, riff-heavy rock and roll, the electricity of AC/DC infused with the venom of the Jesus Lizard, blowing through town like a fierce wind. From the south we see another current approaching, bombastic, throbbing, sensual, Eno-inspired, big-beat electronica. These two forces collide and intermix to produce music that is upbeat, energetic and boisterous. The different elements hit you at different times, the visceral rumble of an 808, the squeal of a synth, thrashy-swirly live drum fills, guitar licks that pop and shimmer like lightning, all in all serious torrent of sound that ignites the whole room and gets everyone dancing. Drummer Greg Marvin adds, “We basically made this record because we love touring and were tired of playing the same songs at our gigs.” For that matter, to keep things fresh, Marvin has joined up on the road with colleagues and friends Pneu, Papier Tigre and Electric Electric, forming La Colonie de Vacances, a quadraphonic project were each band plays one corner of the room, with the audience standing in the middle, creating a one-of-a-kind experience, and managing to shape these affinities into a single exciting live act. Keeping things fun, keeping people excited, and keeping music alive is what this band is all about. RIYL: The VSS, Trans Am, Civil Civic, Holy Fuck, Chevreuil

[engl] Finally here, second longplayer by these Portland garagepunk stalwarts! “For people who’ve invested a lot of time and energy mapping the vast, complicated genome of the local punk community, Portland’s Chemicals are something of a supergroup. Comprising members of Cyclops, Triggers, Sleepwalkers, RIP and Straitjacket—among countless others—the band plays loose-limbed garage punk, free of frills but not without surprises: Check out “No Reason to Stay,” from recently released second album For Real, For Life, Forever or Whatever, with its basically two songs, with two different tempos, ingeniously fused together by a ripping bass solo. It’s powerful stuff, sounding like the product of lifers who’ve been around the dirty, trash-strewn block a few times.” – Willamette Week
