BALLAST "SOUND ASLEEP" LP (Profane Existence) This
is one of the bitching records I was turned on to this summer,
somewhere in rural Poland. The band is from Montreal, they've got two
singers (male/female) who trade off, and the songs are fist pumping
anthems of personal freedom, responsibility and self
reliance. Anarcho punk rarely sounds this good. This was a trade
for some Ass-End Offend stuff, if you're wondering how the hell I got
ahold of it. |

Big Business
Head For The Shallow

|
|
|
|
|
BIG BUSINESS "HEAD FOR THE SHALLOW" CD (Hydra Head) A
collossal, kudgeling record that's been a long time coming and fills a
real pronounced need for heavy, loud music. Jared Warren (Karp, Tight
Bros., the Whip) and Coady Willis (Murder City Devils, Dead Low Tide,
Broadcast Oblivion) are the two members of the band. Big Business have
cultivated their "fast and low" deal to the point where it's a
thoroughly metallic affair. And that's the point. Where a lot of folks
took quite a long time to get next to what Karp did, a lot of the
reviews have come back sort of missing what makes this record a crucial
part of the heavy rock canon: it's the screaming, the leaden bass tone
and the precise and loud-assed drumming. If that's not you're bag, then
by all means, keep your distance. Wantage USA is proud to get you the
vinyl, this CD is on Hydrahead. |

|
|
|
BIG BUSINESS "HERE COME THE WATERWORKS" (Hydrahead) Big Biz's 2007
release that's louder, faster, more syncronized and psychadelic, but
still a kudgeling masterwork... from these newly-bearded Los Angelinos.
Extra heft is provided by one-time Slug bassist/Get Hustler David Scott
Stone, who adds guitar to parts of this. Drop by their myspace.com/bigbigbusiness
for a taste of the music. Or hit up the myspace.com/totalfest page, for an exclusive live tune from their set in 2005. Sick. Steeped in the lore of Karp, the Tight Bros and Dead Low
Tide, these dudes drop more racquet than Venus or Serena. Etcetera.
Germans, keep your eyes peeled.
We've got their hefty-assed 12" version of this record now as well, in
limited quanit and truly, It's quite a hefty deal. 180 grams of
thunder. This comes in speckled opaque white, transparent orange, gold
and black and gold. Specify your preference, or roll the dice of
destiny. Colector scum, perk on up and look ALIVE!.

BIPOLAR BEAR "MAN MOUNTAIN" PICTURE LP (Yosada) (Limited
edition picture disc, comes w. misspelled "killshawman.com" info!)
Bipolar Bear is one of Julian Pope's other outlets, and they're an
excellent rock and roll outfit that struts in the same fashion as your Birthday Party/Jesus Lizard range of groups. Bipolar Bear rage, undulate, and their songs are short at loud.
Yosada's a
label from Dirk Kempthorn's home state, so do them a favor and buy this
record. Did you know that Idaho has a 35 million dollar trout industry?
It does.

|
EARLY HUMANS/KILL YOURSELF "SPLIT" 7" (Superfi Records) British
label Super-Fi Records has released this posthumus Early
Humans (Washington D.C., USA)/Kill Yourself (Leeds, UK) Split 7". It's
got weirdo cover art, and includes a page of stickers that can be cut
out and stuck on. The vinyl is beautiful, thick two-colored (half
pink, half gray), and this is a soldly tight package in all aesthetic
and musical departments. Among the Early Humans songs, there are two,
is "Fuck-All Awaits You There", a powerhouse tune about some major American stock
market crash. That song prominently features a snaky-
riff, insane Bomham/Rubalcaba-intensity drumming and bass that sounds like
high-tension wires being hit with an aluminum bat. Kill Yourself play tough
Touch and Go/early '90s AmRep-sounding tunes and they get points for
having recorded at a place called "Stoke-On-Trent". Limited Pressing.

EXPO 70 "ANIMISM" CD (KILL SHAMAN)
While the cover suggests groovy seventies' styled Fu Manchu pot-rock, Expo 70
actually deliver slow, encircling electronic music. There's a certain
weird darkness about it, and if it were a soundtrack to a movie, it
might be a movie about consciouness, and expanding that consciousness, with halucenogenic drugs and expansive, enveloping, sky-music.

FACTUMS "SPELLS AND CHARMS" CD (KILL SHAMAN)
One of Craig Chambers (from the Lights) other creative outlets, Factums
is disturbing, rambling outsider music. This sounds largely improvised,
and is special in its ability to play alienating music without
following all of the established routes for that sort of endeavor.

FIRE WITCH "I SPIT LIES" CDR (We Empty Rooms)
In 2008 Wantage will release Fire Witch's newest work on vinyl, for
now, you can pick up some ULTRA LIMITED (these were last 5 created)
copies of this epic thudder. Aquarius Records had this to say:
"We've
yet to get a record from these guys that wasn't super limited, and this
one is no different. We were meant to get 50 copies, but only got 15.
But we'll keep trying, for now, at least a handful of you can get your
mitts on this one...
Fire Witch are a guitarless, two bass and drums killing machine from
down under, who weave delicate soundscapes of low end drift and simple
pounding rhythms, peppered with blasts of skull crushing heaviness,
free noise splatter, and gorgeous shimmering ambience. Their sort of
aligned with bands like Whitehorse and the Grey Daturas, but somehow,
what these guys do is way different.
I Spit Lies is split into two looooong tracks, "I Spit" and "Lies". The
former is a slow burning gradual build, with bass feedback draped over
a throbbing low end pulse and a simple shuffling rhythm, with
occasional lapses into sludgy doom, before resuming the lugubrious
groove. Right in the middle there's an extended stretch of delicate
drifting low end swirl, that eventually gives way to some seriously
hooky propulsive post rock crunch.
The latter is equally mathy, almost groovy, another simple rhythm
underpinning soaring bass melodies all held together by the pulsing
bass #2. Eventually, things gradually break apart, into epic expanses
of space, with just the occasional chord or drum hit. It's doomy, but
more in the way Low or other slowcore bands are doomy. A gorgeously
abstract ultra minimal deconstructed slow motion math rock, that by the
end of the song has turned into a grinding heavy, almost metal groove.
Fucking awesome!
Usually we lament the fact that bands choose to jettison the guitar,
there are so many bass and drums duos out there, many of which would
sound so much better with a guitarist, but one of the bassists in Fire
Witch swings his bass like an axe and it makes all the difference in
the world!
Packaged in a strange accordion style fold out sleeve, thick silk
screened paper attached to little textured wooden (or wood-like)
squares.
LIMITED TO 100 COPIES! We got 15... You do the math."

FIRE WITCH/RYOKUCHI "SPLIT S/T" CD (S.M.D. Records, Japan)
In the spirit, though not exactly sonic spirit, of another great
Japanese two-piece unit, Ruins, comes Ryokuchi, whose (fretless) bass
and drums open up epic, turbulent soundscapes. It's technical, though
not wankily technical, it's heavy, though not so "heavy" as to turn
totally dull. It's the right combo of what Wantage appreciates, brains,
finesse and heft. Fire Witch
are a Melbourne, Australia band with two basses and a drummer who produce similarly hefty,
doomy, and spacious music. Absolutely a must-have power-psych gem from two Pac-Rim worshipers
of the church of Aural Crushing. RIYL: Indian, Neurosis.

JORDAN RAIN "STREET LIGHTS" CD (Pool or Pond) Street
Lights is Jordan Rain's and his Yogoman Burning Band's (who's the
ex-Behead the Prophet NLSL drummer, and long-time Bellingham dance DJ)
incredible debut. It somehow authentically occupies a spot halfway
between folky punk and reggae/dancehall, but it's also infused with
a
Whatcom-style
hippy-punk positivity, and more than anything it's totally memorable
and fun. This has got (beautifully recorded) keyboards, drums, and bass
and Mr. Rain's singing over the top of it all. It is to dancehall as
the Black Keys are to blues, perhaps. Second or third generation, but
incredibly hard to deny. Talent and charm seep out of this thing
everywhere. It'll enliven the most jaded punk couch-sitter to get
up and dance. WFMU's grooving
on it, and so is Wantage.

JUANITA FAMILY AND FRIENDS S/T
With members of Last of the Juanitas and heavy hitters from
bands like Federation X, you'd expect something other than an album of
the most sublimely pure country tunes ever played, but that's what you
get with this record. For those of you seeking authenticity look no
further. This thing drips with sadness, loss, spoiled relationships,
heartache and you'll be crying in your Old Crow by the end. Made our
top list in 2005, and it's been in heavy rotation since. An absolutely
excellent record in every way.

KURT "LA GUARD" LP
Freiburg, Germany's Kurt were a favorite of John Peel, and their music
is uncannily, but of course more Teutonic, similar to
Fargo/Moorehead noise bros, Hammerhead. Hammerhead's desperate plains
rumble was uniquely urgent, blown out and inspired, and similarly,
Kurt's (who have since evolved, or some members have moved on to form
Ten Volt Shock) music is filled with driving, noisy urgency.
La Guard is a classically carreening, and stellar record, released by X-Mist.

KURT "RMXD" LP (X-MIST)
Kraut-blasters Kurt were stalwarts of Peel's rockier shows, and they
plow the same brutarian middle-western mid/late nineties dude-rock as
groups like Helmet, the Laughing Hyenas, Hammerhead, Tar and that sort
of deal, only difference being they came from the Black Forrest of
southern Germany, rather than the Rust Belt. Their stuff features that
aggro-fuzz bass you just don't hear any more, accept w. bands like
Replicator. This is an album of remixes, by folks like Endo and Bambam
Babylon Bajsch. Came out on the bitching X-Mist Label. RIYL: Hammerhead, Vaz, Panel Donor.

|
|
KURT SCHESAPLANA and S/T 2LP
A band with as underachieving a name as this must've been good,
right? Yes, they were, in a big lumbering noise-rock sonics sort of
way. The big or first comparison to strike me, and what got me so
stoked, was Hammerhead, and not the hardcore german Hammerhead, but the
Fargo dudes who are in Vaz now, and who put out about 4 records on the
AmRep label in the mid to later nineties. This is pure genius.

Landed are legendary Providence noizers whose tune is called "Osama Oxycontin." Megafuckers feature a Pope alumnus, and play hardcore, and sing about food and drugs. Like the the FDA.

LAST OF THE JUANITAS "HAWAII" LP/CD (Flapping Jet) Before
joining the Wantage family for "Time's Up" the Juanitas did a great
couple of records for Max's Flapping Jet Label, based in San Diego.
Hawaii, recorded by Tim Green, is a loud, prophetic, apocalyptic record
that always makes me shudder when I'm walking aorund with it on
headphones. It's hard to not listen to this record in its entirety.

This band reminds us of what we love about Latvia: rain, gloom, poetic
shoegazer bands, decaying infrastructure, bread, incredibly talented singers, cheese, fish, and
beer. MSK fits among the continuum of central European and Russian
underground bands that produced greats like Yanka, Grozdanskaya Oborona
and more recently Inokentijs Marpls, Dr. Green, Grupa Vilnis and Balozu
Pilni Pagalmi from the Baltic state of Latvia. This release is a
charming double 3" CD set that comes in a fold out package. Limited
copies!

OAKS "BRAVO" CD (SELF-RELEASED)
Justin Olsen's, former Oly Bear and Tight Bro From Way Back When
drummer. brand new outfit. This band calls San Diego home, but the
sounds on this debut CD owe more to the darker, damper, heavier parts
of the country. I hear Green River, Federation X and the Narrows in these hefty
grooves. Oaks have got a legitimately 90's (or as I like to call it
"timeless") vibe running through it, and a kind of active disinterest
in sounding somehow modern or timely.
Toshi Kasai, the Melvins' sound engineer for the past six years, and newly official Big Business guitar player moved around the nobs for this debut, and
it's as solid as an ash, not an oak! Haaaay!

SQUALORA "S/T" LP (Defector) Portland's
Squalora arose from the ashes of Missoula's Ass-End Offend, and play
heavy/fast, political hardcore. Part Kylesa low-frequency kudgel, part
Anti-Cimex crust blowout, Squalora's sound is loud and powerful.
Lyrically, this deals with the frustration of living in the
Bush-era, punk scene egotism, class struggle and freedom.
When Portland h/c legends Resist reformed in 2007, they
requested Squalora as the opening act. This self-titled release
features 9 songs, and was recorded at Portland's Smegmatone Studio by
sonic wizard Mike Lastra. Vinyl released by Portland's Defector, features poster insert and beautiful embossed foil lettering.

TEN VOLT SHOCK 6 NULL 3 CD
Freiburg, Baden Wurtenburg is a bike-riding, scenic town in Germany's
south end. Ten Volt Shock are from there, and this CD is their latest
work, released in the Fall of 2006. Noise rock is a pretty apt
descriptor, and they play with an urgency and tautness that you don't
hear in much music anymore. X-Mist release.

TEN VOLT SHOCK S/T
Ten volt Shock's earliest, eponymous record. When you load it up and
play it, it's done before you know it and you're sad. This record
features beautiful artwork and themes similar to Oakland
technology-noise bros, Replicator. One of our favorite discoveries of
2007. This is their first record, and it's solid 28 minutes of joyously
clattering bass, frantic, ever-forward guitarring and vocals. On X-Mist

THE BUGS "YOU GOTTA WAIT" 7" (HOVERCRAFT)
Armin from X-Mist thinks the Bugs are heavily influenced by the
Urinals. We like them because Mike, who used to roadie for Last of the
Juanitas, has the most endearing and excellent singing voice in punk
rock. Hell, Paul's
voice aint bad either! But something about the squeaky sounds that Mike
makes are just so authentic and great, and vulnerable, and that's
it.The
music accompanying those great vocals is minimal, poppy and trashy
two-piece rock and roll! We hope "You Gotta Wait" is a tribute to Mitch
Hedberg, who had that bit about winos eating grapes..

The album that unleashed the Lights basic rock and roll stutter onto

captures the raw outsider essence and simple, simple sounds of the band
that elevated one chord songs into somehow sublime territory. The
Lights get compared to a godawful pile of bands, but their sound is as
thoroughly their own as it is appropriated from the Fall and Joy

THE POPE "SOCIETY OF FRIENDS" EP
Amaal Denguerian and Kurtisz Von Hrbek (the Pope) are men on a mission,
and their "Society of Friends" EP simply continues to cover the sky
with acres of heavy, thudding and lethal flak, from their bunker in
their hills outside Sao Paulo. The Pope sound like a hardcore band
given only the most rudimentary tools, bass and drums, and forced to
play faster, more technically, frenetic music. Satellite City from Los
Angeles released this fine EP and we are pleased to distribute it. So
buy one, you partisan, and support their secret campaign against the Shah of Californistan.
