ACKERMANS, THE
No one knows us better than the Ackermans
Die Ackermans könnten mit ihrem hoch-energetischen Pop (inklusive Garage und UK 70s Punk Einflüsse) zum nächsten gro?en Ding aus Schweden werden. Auf den 11 Songs der lp erweisen sie sich als perfekte Schüler ihrer offensichtlichen Vorbilder Hives und Mando Diao, und übertreffen diese sogar noch! Zu den wesentlichen Elementen des Ackermans Sounds gehören sich überschlagender Gesang, ein hyperaktiver Backbeat, knallige Gitarren-Riffs, dazu kommen komplexes Songwriting und ein ausgeprägtes Gespür für Hits! Hives; zieht euch warm an, hier kommt die Wachablösung!- Format

Bis dato haben die Texaner zwei grundsolide Garagerock-Scheibchen an den Start gestellt von denen sich andere mal ne Scheibe abschneiden sollten. Aber das ist nicht weiter verwunderlich, schließlich haben die Boys ja genug Erfahrung mit ihren anderen Bands (High Tension Wires, Mind Spiders, ...) gesammelt um zu wissen wie man catchy Hooks, Lines, usw möglichst effektiv einsetzt. Auf der neuen Platte melden sie sich nun zurück mit einem ganzen Haufen neuer Lieblingslieder für uns und einem sagenhaft guten Artwork obendrein. Kommt gleich neben der neuen Hunx an die Wand.. Nach wie vor kann man sich zu einem Mix aus schnellen Stompern und ruhigeren Kuschelsongs das Herz ausschütten, lachen und betrinken. Nennt es Powerpop, nennt es Garage, nennt es Punk.. Alles was zählt ist, es ist mal wieder eine dieser Platten, mit denen man noch seinen Enkeln auf den Sack gehen wird.- Format

Search & Destroy
[engl] To cite Faster & Louder: "The sound here is raw and ferocious, with songs alternating between the wild, blown-out rock and roll of tracks like "You're My Wild One" and "I Wanna Break Away" and the snot-drenched rage of "She's So Overrated". This is exactly the way lo-fi garage punk ought to be: cheaply-recorded, brimming with untamed energy, and stripped to the essence of three-chord simplicity. Songs for the most part clock in under two minutes - and even at seventeen tracks, the album leaves me wanting more. Crank up the volume and make like the '90s never ended!" Andresa plays everything on his own - working with a guitar plugged into an overdrive pedal and a 15-watt amp, a floor tom-snare drum set, tambourine, and no bass. The band story sounds like a budget rock fairytale, young fanboy Andresa touring with prior band Japan, going to a bar after a show to meet his idol Fifi of TEENGENERATE! Showing drawings and pledge for song lyrics, Fifi is overwhelmed and happy to share the same instincts for rocknroll and power pop. Like a long lost ninja son, he suggest the band name for his new indonesian friend and BATTLEBEATS are born. He got his first 45 "You Stabbed Me In The Back" out on Post Party Deppression in the US in late 2020. You may have heard the chords before, but this Rock and Roll rawness is turning you inside out and you feel the TEENTRASH kid in you just going wild. It´s like having a beer and wondering why it tastes so good as you never had a beer before! Next time your uncle habitually grabs his stained PERSUADERS records, you can easily send him off the rocking chair. "Search & Destroy" got additional KILLER analog vinyl mastering by A-HULEHULE and BARRATO in Berlin and you won´t believe the outcome. Limited first edition to 300 copies, 200 black, 100 in clear vinyl with black swirls on ALIEN SNATCH! budget rock sisterhood division.- Format

III
[engl] With a blowout facing no service the next two days. Totally stripped down, early 70´s rock in the ridiculously enough tiny parking lot between NATURAL CHILD and ROLLING STONES. In a matter of course, it´s the perfect album to live the moment of now. How much mototard smoke can you take at the station? Ten songs, all dry as the atacama desert, no fuzz, no thrills, no cocktail umbrellas and of course no buttons at the jacket. You just want to get time-trapped in this perpetual motion BIKES groove. Since years the berliners say the BIKES are a nuke. Forbidden to take off, stone cold outside. Everyone is partying hard their secret hidden powers and their proximity of short-lived stardom and armageddon. So, this s/t album # III and third release on ALIEN SNATCH! REC- Format

[engl] "Imagine a party on Doctor Moreau's island where the dance band is made up of four giant chain- wielding, beer guzzling, leather-clad parrots... suddenly, out of nowhere, Keith Richards shows up high on his father's ashes and joins them for an encore. After hard touring around the globe, Berlin thug-rockers BIKES finally found the time to lock themselves into their East-Berlin rehearsal space and record their next album, tactically avoiding the sophomore slump. We're more than honoured to bring you their new, and yet their best effort! It's chock full of hits, equally influenced by both kinds: Rock AND Roll, guaranteed to move your bones! Songs about bars, being locked up behind bars, motorcycles – things you can relate to! Steady, no-bullshit caveman drumming! Vicious bass! Thuggish guitars with some wild monstro/mongo Chuck Berry riffs thrown in! That's right! No wimpy shit here! The return of pub-rock? Maybe? I hear they drink beer for breakfast!

Two Mice / P.P.O.D.
[engl] New BIKES 45 (aka SNATCH!072) with two exclusive a-sides out just in time for their tour starting tonight!! The Berlin street zoo of garage birds has two main attractions being worth your nuts: It´s the two funky peacocks (you may heard of) named KING KHAN & BBQ (on loan from the Montreal Zoo a decade ago) and four leather parrots named the BIKES, on lifetime loan of the employment office. You can go to any show and whatever mood your are - you get stroke by the spark to move your bones to the over-the-top groovy, doo-wop soaked harmonies put on top on a non-"psychedelic", primo-garage thud! The band has been kickin' around since the summer of nothin' and features ex, ex- ex-, and current personnel of DIE ERSTEN MENSCHEN, CCCANDY, HELLSHOVEL, DEMONS CLAWS, MODERN PETS. They've been drinkin outta the same r'n'r puddle as the NERVOUS EATERS, CHUCK BERRY and the STONES! This is their second 45 after a LP on BACHELOR and a 45 on GOODBYE BOOZY, both sold out. The 7" is sleeved in their already überfamous art and is strictly limited to 500 copies, 100 of them in powdery white vinyl. New LP out this year on ALIEN SNATCH! Meanwhile, BIKES recommend to spin this 45 and enjoy the simple things in life (e.g. eating peanuts, waking up drunk, complain about dog shit in Berlin). Keep you eyes peeled, kids!- Format

Regular Vanilla
[engl] This animal has a diverse, revved up, no reins, 60´s gumball punk show, takin' tricks from ramshackle Krautheim, Atlanta, Harlem, Coal Mines and Burger City and of their hometowns' own KING KHAN and the SHRINES folk. Regular Vanilla is stacking hook on top of the hook, surrounded by a loose 70´s schmuddelfilm organ, wry doo-wop, flavored with all the psychotropics of the sackerl. They rushed thru the recordings like stags and you can hear their nonpolarised jukebox rock'n'roll, pure joy is dropping on all sides of the platter. This is a giraffe ride from the empty swiming pool stand-up singing, straighthru a covered with curtaind of scissors new wave ballroom to a high noon khanish psych garage snake pit ritual. Jungle backups by the master himself, lovely guest singing by his daughter SABA LOU. Produced by KING BAMA LAMA KHAN. Recorded by NENE at Porc. Artwork by Isabelle Rutz.

Hypochondriac
[engl] Next exit beach! Welcome COCKTAILS with this exclusive vinyl version of their new album,"Hypochondriac". From San Francisco, California USA, direct to your bedroom, the band brings sweet power pop jammers. It´s good-times, 70´s AM-Radio bicycle power pop taking cues from RUBINOOS, SHOES and 90´s links to TEENAGE FANCLUB, RED KROSS and CHEVELLES, and pop gun like DECIBELS. With constant on-point vocal harmonies and fuzz-driven Moog synths, it will warm your heart and your top-of-the-curve summer mood. It´s three guys and one girl taking you on a narrative prelude-interlude-outro journey with "Hypochondriac" - leap on this candy-loop pop-punk rollercoaster! COCKTAILS' centripetal force ranges from high-tide surfer punk to dream pop, and at the end of the loop you pinpoint the origin - produit en californie. It´s an action packed Bay Area ride which finds a place in your summer theme park of 2017. The follow up to 2014’s album Adult Life was recorded direct-to-tape with vintage analog gear at San Francisco's legendary Tiny Telephone studio. Originally released on Father/Daughter on cassette in 2016, it´s now on vinyl with "Murder on TV" - a brand new bonus song.- Format

[engl] DANGEREENS are Canadas hot new unadulterated Rock n Roll outfit. With a Montreal signature raw enthusiasm the fieve piece is devoted to 70´s glam rock, paying homage to BOWIE and ' DOLLS, treating rocknroll las they´re from Queens. The doctor says they´re possesed by a francophone junk shop glam Beelzebub. Is it reckless? Is it fun? YEAH! At ALIEN SNATCH! we grew up on cum stained picture sleeve ´73/´74 junkshop glam rock 45s, we love hook-laden music with well crafted vocals. This was our proto-punk party trick and DANGEREENS are bastard sons of our teenage rocknroll fantasies. You’ll feel like you’ve been listening to these songs your whole life. It´s a T.REX /SLADE truck running the MUNGO JERRY / DAVE EDMUNDS streets of doom to the 50´s Rock n Roll paramount. Singer Hugo Chartrand sings & hauls, their AM Radio hit piercing straight to into beating hearts and minds that rock. It´s pulsating Musikladen manifesto!

DEMONICS
Hot Rod Pussy
Die DEMONICS sind wieder da! Zwar „nur“ mit einem „Best-Of“, aber das hat es bei einer solch sträflich unterbewerteten Ausnahmeband natürlich in sich. 21 Songs aus allen Bandphasen, um genau zu sein. Angefangen mit den Hits der „Formaldehyde Injection“-LP, mit der die Band schon Ende der Neunziger sämtlichen Punk’n’Roll/Horrorpunk-Klischeebands um Lichtjahre voraus war, gefolgt von den Songs der nicht minder genialen Longplayer „Demons On Wheels“ und „Ritual On The Beach“. Und natürlich den Hitsingles, wie das grandiose „Dunebuggy Gang“, mit dem die DEMONICS beweisen, dass sie einfach fast alles können: Punkrock, Rock’n’Roll, Powerpop, Surf plus eine gehörige Portion Humor (dazu sei als Beispiel nur mal der unschlagbare Text von „Regan“ genannt)! Ich will gar nicht mäkeln, ob eventuell hier und da ein Song fehlt, denn insgesamt hat Bandleader Russ eine sehr repräsentative Auswahl getroffen, die sowohl perfekt als Einstiegsdroge geeignet ist als auch für Fans (wie mich) interessant, die schon die meisten DEMONICS-Veröffentlichungen im Schrank stehen haben. Das zuckersüße Cover passt natürlich zum Albumtitel wie Arsch auf Eimer und wahre Liebhaber guter Musik sollten nicht zögern, für die letzten Exemplare des limitierten Vinyls ihre Seele zu verkaufen! Das unvermeidliche Review- Schlusswort kann für mich in diesem Falle nur lauten: Don’t say eight, don’t say nine – say ten! (Ox)- Format

Ritual on the beach
THE DEMONICS all new 3rd full length record ''Ritual On The Beach'' is dripping with tremendously catchy melodies, upbeat dragpunk riffs and references and to the Californian lifestyle. It?s a evil JAN & DEAN beach party gone wrong with guest appearances by ''Wholly Smokes'' (MIKE FOX of the DWARVES fame) and legendary underground garage rocker NIKKI CORVETTE doing a duette with Russ on a demonic version of her song ''Girls Like Me''. The album is an unpretentious blast down the waves & highway to hell!The unbelievable artwork matching the theme is done by Montreals most famous underground artist DIRTY DONNY. When Russ isn?t burnin?out in his cherry?69 metallic green Super Bee, he?s toes to the nose on a six footer down at Pacifica Beach or bombin?the hills on his Sector 9 board. This is the perfect soundtrack for anyones summer.. SURFS UP MOTHERFUCKERS !! SO GET IN- Format

Playtime
[engl] England's FREAK GENES are Andrew Anderson (HIPSHAKES, PROTO IDIOT) and Charlie Murphy (RED CORDS, HOLIDAY GHOSTS). With a crazy six-teeeen songs this could almost have been a double LP, but instead you get two A-Sides full of witty-gritty power pop, savage bar rock that has the distinctive flavour of musicians gone thru the class of LoFi with no false pretences. Sharp, cohesive songs that are so good you doubt they're all originals. The next debut album on ALIEN SNATCH! in 2017, your true purveyor of new bands with low predictability and almost *** listening pleasure. "Playtime" has tons of attitude, adrenaline and pop sensibility, sitting on the end-of-the-70´s borderline between punk and pop that we love to death here. Some insistent WIRE tempos, some intense post-punk rockers, always clocking in at two minutes or less. Imagine if ELVIS COSTELLO had only an hour of studio time to boil up an album and he wants the middle seat between SWELL MAPS "New York" and NICK LOWE "Heart of the City". Nuff said, chew on this.

GHETTO WAYS
s/t
Ghetto-Rock, Detroit-Soul ... vergiss es, hier kannst du hundert Schubladen aufziehen, jeden Hype-Reflex stimulieren und triffst es doch nicht ganz. Fakt ist, dass die GHETTO WAYS hier eine der besten dreckigen Platten des Jahres 2003 vorgelegt haben. Drei Leute (eine Frau und zwei Männer) aus einem Ghettostadtteil New Yorks blasen abwechselnd in ein verzerrtes Mikro, bewegen sich dabei musikalisch zwischen unanständigen Detroit-Riffs, Soul, Garage und dem Sound, der die allmächtigen RADIO BIRDMAN entzücken würde.Die Songs sind durchweg kurz, knackig und geprägt von prägnanten Gitarrenriffs, der Backbeat wird vorwiegend auf der Stand-Tom gespielt, was der Sache fette Würze verleiht und das Ganze noch tiefer in den feuchten Keller zieht. Ein wahrhaft grandioses Debüt, das diese Band neben die DIRTBOMBS und die BELLRAYS in eine Spitzengruppe einlädt. Kurze Platte, gefüllt mit einer Menge Hits, die durch den abwechselnden Gesang fast wie ein Sampler der aktuell besten Keller-Kombos aus dem Soul-Punk-Epizentrum klingt.HIT!!!
