    LOVE BOAT

    Imaginary Beatings of Love

    The Love Boat sind eine Teenageband aus Cagliari (Sardinien) die eine Energie wie ein amoklaufender Kugelblitz auf ihrer grandiosen LP erzeugen! Sobald die Nadel das Vinyl berührt, jagt ein funkensprühender R&B-Garage-Pop-Hit den nächsten. Die Stimme von Sänger Andrea Pilleri klingt schizophren, vertrackt was wohl an der halb katholischen, halb im Gospelchor gelernten Gesangserziehung liegt. Ausgestattet mit einer Akustik-, einer E-Gitarre und einem Minimum an Drumequipment nahmen sich Matt Bordin (Mojomatics) und Emanuele Baratto (Movie Star Junkies) ihrer an und agierten gleichwohl als Paten als auch als Produzenten des Albums. Denkt an Gino Washington trifft auf Mark Sultan und die Monkees, denkt an Golden Boys, Goodnight Loving und King Khan. ''Imaginary Beatings'' kommt wie eine Compilation vollgestopft mit One-Hit-Wonders, die lange Zeit nicht mehr gehört wurden!

    LOVE BOAT

    Love Is Gone

    Einen ganzen Arsch voll raffinierter, kleiner Garage-Beat-Pop-Hymnen haben sie sich da wieder aus den Ärmeln gezaubert und legen - auch wenns schwer zu glauben ist - fast noch eine Schippe Eingängigkeit obendrauf.

    MOJOMATICS

    A sweet mama gonna hoodoo me

    [engl] Hiding in the night-shrouded lagoons of Venice, the MOJOMATICS, in person MojoMatt (voc, guitar, harp) and DavMatic (drums, percussion), take up your love with taut sails and undeniable spirit of youth. This is a TWO piece jack-off-all-trades lineup and they hit the shit big time. Thru the damn cool SHAKE YOUR ASS label we got their debut 45 “Devil got my women” earlier this year which shook the ground here. Limited to a mere 300 copies it already made it to few great reviews and ravings. Here is “a sweet mama gonna hoodoo me” - sixteen swampy blues encrusted punk tunes with a lot of rootsy pop harmonies and rambling´country-esque edges. The whole slop was produced on their own, not in their garage but Matt´s own analog recording studio, so we got a slab of raw hifi trash! They have the punk drive, kept up with the songwriting craftsmanship this is exactly what we needed now. All songs (but one traditional) are originals and stomp and swagger all over the place. No “for the fans of” namedropping-"music description" here. Sneaked those guys in at a GHETTO WAYS Festival gig and they handed me over their recordings. The whole inbred gang down there is downright nuts.... dancin` naked in brownish underpants…brought up the same wrecked cassette recorder they recorded that infamous BLACK LIPS Live 45 and recorded also that GW show. The LP comes in a splendid eyecatching full color heavy cardboard cover made by GREGO, the first couple hundred copies of the vinyl are on 180g wax.

    MOJOMATICS

    Don´t Preted That You Know Me

    ''Tu nicht so, als würdest du mich kennen!'' - einen passenderen Albumtitel hätten sich Matt und Davide von den MOJOMATICS nicht ausdenken können, denn wer nach den beiden ersten Platten des Duos aus Venedig dachte, er würde die minimalistisch instrumentierte Band (Gitarre, Schlagzeug, Percussion, Mundharmonika, Gesang) kennen, schaut schon beim Opener ''Wait a while'' verwundert aus der Wäsche: Ja, klar sind das die MOJOMATICS, aber warum klingen die jetzt so britisch und gar nicht mehr so nach Mississippi-Delta wie auf dem Debüt ''A Sweet Mama Gonna Hoodoo Me'' und auch nicht mehr so dylanesk wie partiell auf ''Songs For Faraway Lovers''? Nun, ich würde sagen, die MOJOMATICS lassen mit jedem Album einem weiteren, in ihrem Sound schon angelegten Einfluss den Vortritt, und diesmal ist es eben das, was der Amerikaner einst als ''British Invasion'' wahrnahm. Keine abrupte Wendung also, sondern nur ein Album, das im ersten Moment verwirrt und im zweiten dann schon ein guter Freund ist. Erwähnter Opener ''Wait a while'' ist aber nicht der einzige Hit unter den zwölf Songs, eigentlich sind sie alle solch überschwängliche, lässig shakende Gute-Laune-Tunes, die auch in ihrer Gesamtheit völlig makellos sind. Ein Album, das völlig zeitlos ist, das losgelöst von allem Trend-Crap und Hypes existiert. Bravo!. (9/10) OX

    MOJOMATICS

    Songs for faraway lovers

    Großartiges neues Album des venezianischen R`n`B Zweiers. Den starken Countryeinfluss kann man nicht überhören, obwohl natürlich immer noch der Blues Punk dominiert. Neben Gitarre, Schlagzeug und Mundharmonika kommen bei ein paar Songs auch Banjo, Orgel und Piano zum Einsatz. Sprich für abwechslung ist ausreichend gesorgt und wird zumindest mir die kalte Jahreszeit versüßen.

    MURDER BY GUITAR

    Rock bottom

    Hinter dieser neuen schwedischen Band stecken im Prinzip die Locomotions ergänzt um den mehr als umtriebigen Martin Savage. Das exzellente Songwriting hat Sänger Erik Jonasson auch schon bei den Sons Of Cyrus perfektioniert und dementsprechend gibt es hier sehr schön tough rockenden Mitt 70er Power Pop mit einer leichten Spur Sixties Garage Punk (vor allem bei ''I'll be gone'' mit mehr als deutlicher Reminiszenz an Roky Erickson).

    OUTTACONTROLLER

    Sure Thing

    [engl] I am a Rocker, I’m a Roller, I’m an OUTTACONTROLLER! Halifax, Novia Scotia’s own OUTTACONTROLLER unleash their next album after the exclusive killer EP "No Echo" on the spanish Jarama Records. Hell yeah, we loved the hit single "Cheap Leather Jacket" and spun it day-in and day-out. We’ve been full on fans of their fuzzed out BARRACUDAS surf pop and the perfect sing a long harmonies. For months our heads have been spinning from their album überhit "Glassy Eyes" - pure adrenalin RAMONES pop songs on the spot. OUTTACONTROLLER has this punchy punk rock bass line and overwhelming chorus - this the most powerful present day power pop. Five years after their last record "Television Zombie" on the sadly missed PTrash Records, "Sure Thing" continues to kick off on 45rpm. Comes with two sided colored insert.

    PALE LIPS

    After Dark

    [engl] The PALE LIPS is all-girl four piece rock'n'roll band from Montreal, Canada. The four brats Jamie, Jackie, Lynn, Ilona got the coolest flavours in chewing gum juke box rock and blow big bubbles turning to daggers. NIKKI CORVETTE style 60´girl group harmonies, rolling 50´s rhythm section, edgy 70´s JOAN JETT song writing with a TINA & TOTAL BABES fun ride. Take the DONNAS microwave popcorn and late 70´s VKTMS punk kicks dismiss the flower & indie rock purveyors. Trenched with wonderful back-ups "in After Dark" is a power-pop, hook-driven album with that certain gleam of silver light. After their first album "Wanna Be Bad" and couple singles, this is the second effort. Find their Video to "You´re a Doll" here. Canada had the MODERNETTES, B-GIRLS, RIFF RANDELLS and now PALE LIPS!

    PHONE JERKS

    s/t

    [engl] Yes, this reference list from the all late 90´s to millenium band league which did NOT suck. You need to look very close today to find this shower of frequencies, blown-out fidelity lo-fi rock combined with flying-ice-cream-cups-fun. Take RADIOACTIVITY, SICK THOUGHTS, REATARDS and TOTAL PUNK pilgrims, with more buckets of simple & stupid party collusion and you be catapulted back to the bands above you may have not grown-up by then. It´s lo-fi garage punk! You´re lost in a infinite time-loop! PHONE JERKS had 2017 a 45 "Can´t Stand the Maritimes" on GOODBYE BOOZY (the Italian who never did anything else in life expect what he does best) which sold out quick, but pheew, the album blows the single away. Recorded by Dave Belliveau (DISASTERBATERS) nad mixed & mastered by James O'Toole of OUTTACONTROLLER - it´s so good you don´t need to fake orgasms here. Ripping covers of "Violence, Anarchy, Baby, Mother, Daddy-O, Dig" by DA SLYME and "Revolution" by X. We are writing 2018 and we started 1998, this is the blueprint and the easiest shooting-fish-in-the barrel of an autobiographical ALIEN SNATCH! release. We would have released this PHONE JERKS LP any year of out label history, but where have they been the last twenty years? If Greg Lowery would run RIP OFF Records instead of real estates, this would be his condo of choice! Their power pop origin and band name phone schtick is highly reminiscent to ring-ring BUSY SIGNALS to MARK SULTAN´s BBQ taking a message to hang BLONDIE after the beep. Get this record and reaffirm your life choices! 90 copies on mellow bananas yellow vinyl, the rest on very old bananas black vinyl. Cruise to lose!

    PRIMITIVE HANDS

    Bad Men In The Grave

    [engl] Get your ears around this stunner, second album by our beloved canadian troubadour Buck Hildebrand and his basement rats. Running away from life, hiding from starving polar bears, the opener "Only The Bad Remains" settles in to the groove immediately, pack you on a Winnipeg monochrome winter night dog sled ride until almost imperceptibly ratcheting up the intensity towards a cave where they pull off a garage punk mammoth awakeners like "Animal Blood" and "Unseen Love". "Bad Men In The Grave" has resonances of hatred failure and charming turns in dazzling daylight and truly exceeds the Primitive Hands past works. Considering their three singles from a decade ago, these recordings are the most expansive, career spanning release and maybe the first *real* album. This was self recorded by the band, respectively J.Quakenbusch and M.Blackburn.Chiming fuzz-drenched guitar folk songs like wonderful sonorous "The Food´s No Good", "Turkey" and barren "Vivid Storyteller" are the psych-rock preacher counterpart of the blues gospel of BEATMAN, the outlawed COWBOYS rock and roll. Third release on ALIEN SNATCH! after sonic force debut LP in 2017,nearly crashing of its own sheer weight of sonic force and some sticky melodic washes of Berlin streets, which turned into the "Heartless Man" 45 in 2018. Brian Hildebrand plays on the claviature of melancholy and rage in bands like DEMON'S CLAWS, MIND CONTROLS and GENITAL HOSPITAL and toured many times around the globe. Rootsy, black/white ink artwork by Darren Merinuk, printed on reverse side stunning ultra heavy cardboard stock. Third time there is limited edition on golden wax! Meet at the bar.

    RADIOACTIVITY

    Back to me

    [engl] debut 45 by Jeff Burke (MARKED MEN, POTENTIAL JOHNS) & his new band! RADIOACTIVITY is the US-counterpart to his (former) japanese band THE NOVICE when he moved back to the US. Not unlike the before mentioned bands you get buzzsaw powerpop punk with the disctinctive singing & songwriting of Jeff. You need a definition of catchy? Any fan of the MARKED MEN and his songs will melt away the exclusive double A-Side Hits! On the B-Side there is a rather dark and rougher song, the expression of an odd anxiety and a state of helplessness about the earthquake/nuclear disaster after years of living in Japan is undoubted part of it. At ALIEN SNATCH! we crossed paths with the REDS and MARKED MEN in 2002 even before their debut album - but this is our first release more than a decade later. This 45 is therefore a very special record and it´s incredibly exciting to have them over in Europe at the end of the month. Accompanied by Mark Ryan and Daniel/Greg of BAD SPORTS turns this into a celebrity hideout. We literally run a bunch of miles in Austin to see their and and only show ast SXSW this year, it exceeded any expectation! So wherever you are, make the trip!

    Hay Fever

    [engl] To cast our modern KNACK, we had to shovel snow for a year to dig out this four dudes in arctica. Borrow some SATOR rock guitars, make them pick up their bus ticket of Impo & the Tents to pop cul-de-sac, stitch some thrift store RED KROSS look-a-like jeans and and ask some music early semesters out-goofing NOBUNNY songs. Here are the Real Tears! Viking helmets filled with tax-free beer from the night ferry, ready to conquer the squats. Thirteen underton-y shivery punk rock pills, twelve songs clocking in below two minutes. This is far away from retro perfection, this is the loud & fast teenage rock failure! They will be the first playing on the backside of the moon right after their Japanese Tour, no bluff! Their 'Douchebag, party now!' credo is remedy for every level of post punk affliction and procrastination known to man. After their self-released winter season album "Too Cool to Rock" their dry season album "Hay Fever" will be big with the raking kids of Finland! It will rain all summer!

Sounding like 3 Australian expat garage rockers lost in early 80’s Berlin in a GDR bunker somewhere along the Berlin wall dead zone. With 70s Buzzsaw punk rock guitar, cranked up so loud you could kick a Cosmic Psycho’s ass out of the desert and roll around like a Saint in a basement of your wet dreams!!! Throw Amyl and her holster Sniffers in the Kreuzberg canals and you have some washed out S.U.G.A.R. rats! With eight proto-rock tracks reeling on 45rpm, any drag-race running endlessly on fumes, with the MC5 patched in woofie plays S.U.G.A.R louder than everything else! They recently shared their 72 pack of White Castle burgers back stage with STIFF RICHARDS and their well oiled rubber Kangaroo the day after being the backing band of Toody Cole of DEAD MOON! They were due to play with the SPITS, but had to cancel due their ‘meals-on-wheels aftermath’. Artwork again by guitar trooper Flo , LP "II" comes as "I" did, with a comic style cardboard inner sleeve and hairy and headchopping hologram stickers, (as long as the STATIC SHOCK record store snitches leave them in!) Scum Stats: First press 500 copies total, 400 black vinyl copies, 100 goldnugget vinyl copies (mail order only) for all ya late-stage capitalism rupee groupies!
