THE DOMESTICS: 'LIVE IN OSLO' LP
Last few copies of this cracking live album from their Blitz Cafe gig Oslo, Norway on their 2017 European tour. captures the insanity of the live performance - no overdubs or any of that cheating! - but actually a great quality recording. Artwork by Dennis from DOOM.

THE DOMESTICS/PIZZATRAMP: 'NO LIFE'/'THIS IS YOUR LIFE' 12"
The two bands that teamed up for the ‘Discipline’ split 5” back in 2018 (three songs each in less than a minute per side, lest we forget) are back. This time with something a little longer…
…OK, a LOT longer. Despite both outfits being known for their short, hyper-speed songs, here each band turns in an eleven minutes plus epic on either side of this record. Yeah, you did read that right.
These two songs channel the spirit of the classic ‘From the Cradle to the Grave’ by UK punk legends, SUBHUMANS, but that was 1983 and this is 2020; these songs could be considered a pair of timely updates, documenting now in ways that truly resonate in 2020. This record is a highwater mark for both bands, hitting a truly inspired peak.
150 pressed on white vinyl / 356 on black vinyl.

PI$$ER: 'TOO BUSY EATING GRUEL TO CONTEMPLATE THE COSMOS' LP
PI$$ER are back! With their patented ‘sax-beat for freaks’ take on d-beat kicked up yet another notch on both the savagery, and weirdness scales.
Any band featuring Bri Doom (DOOM, SORE THROAT), and Charlie Claesson (ANTI-CIMEX, WOLFHOUR, PARTISANS) would have to be worth investigation, but throw in two members of THE DOMESTICS (James Domestic and Rhodes) plus Matt Woods (ROTPM), and Eddie O’Toole (PREY, THE SHITTY LIMITS, THE FILAMENTS) and you really have something very special indeed!
If you want your d-beat to simply follow the original template perpetuated by thousands of bands, then this may not be for you. If, however, you can take something more dynamic and interesting alongside your savagery, then PI$$ER could be your favourite band. As the title of the record suggests, don’t keep eating gruel, when you could be contemplating the cosmos (with a raging soundtrack)!

PI$$ER: 'CRUSHED DOWN TO PASTE' 12" MLP
The first 7”, 'Wretched Life' created quite a stir and sold out superfast, and 'Crushed Down to Paste' takes things up a notch over the course of its 20+ minutes. The saxophone is employed more extensively (but still with those wonky-sounding lines we all loved on the 7”) and the vocal effects are cranked up to 11.
The material is dynamic, moving from the thrashing anti-fascist bile of Nazi Rhythm to the beguiling, almost soulful, Dance in the Light of Your Burning Bridges, the five minute+ ending to the record, channelling NEU! As much as IMPALERS or DISCHARGE in its urge to break away from a destructive past and start anew. This isn’t punk-by-numbers and it never will be.
Some have called PI$$ER a d-beat / hardcore / punk “supergroup” and, in fairness, they do feature members / ex-members of DOOM, ANTI-CIMEX, THE DOMESTICS, SORE THROAT, THE SHITTY LIMITS, REVENGE OF THE PSYCHOTRONIC MAN, PERSONNEL, WOLFHOUR, BEAT THE RED LIGHT, BRING THE DRONES, TOKYO LUNGS, UNICORN FART SUGAR, CABRO and more, but this band aren't resting on their 'members of' laurels, they have a sound that no one else is making.

JAMES DOMESTIC: 'CARRION REPEATING' LP
something a bit different; something a bit special.
Already likened to artists as diverse as IAN DURY, SLEAFORD MODS, THE FALL, SCREAMERS, NEU!, ESG, BENEFITS, P.I.L., BILLY CHILDISH, DEVO, BAXTER DURY, and VIC GODARD, to name but a few, this album blends post-punk, new wave, dub, krautrock and more, forces it through the James Domestic sieve to make 11 weird and wonderful, attitude-laden songs. "Post-punk pop music for weirdos" as it says on his website.
The LP comes in 2 versions:
'Special Edition': silver/blue vinyl + 4 page 12" X 12" lyric booklet + download code + 2 X limited edition postcards + 1 X limited edition bookmark
'Standard Edition': black vinyl + 4 page 12" X 12" lyric booklet + download code

VARIOUS: 'DEANER SKATEROCK' LP
The third in the series of bands that have played at the legendary Dean Lane Hardcore Festival in Bristol over the years...this one includes Bad Religion, The Domestics, JFA, Rash Decision, Zero Again, Chaotic Dischord, and many many more...an excellent sampler of some excellent bands!
++++++++++++++++++++
DOMESTIC CURSE: 'THE FIVE CURSES' 12" MLP
This is the debut release by DOMESTIC CURSE. It’s a 5 song mini LP, clocking in at a little over 21 minutes.
Given that James Domestic (The Busiest Man in DIY punk™) seems to release a record with one of his bands/projects on an almost monthly basis, this has been an incredibly slow burner, several years in the making.
Domestic and pal John Hewson have been acquainted for years, with their bands sharing bills on many occasions. The idea of teaming up and incorporating Domestics’ lyrics into the electronic maelstrom that Hewson dishes up with his CURSE project had been marinating for a while, and finally comes to fruition on The Five Curses.
Musically, we’re in electronic overload…think throbbing, whirring, and rattling synths, thumping kick drums, skeletal drum ‘n’ bass, chest-thumpin’ bottom end, and raw punk vocals in a long-form almost-stream-of-consciousness style; sneering and barbed.
Lyrical targets include perpetual timewasters, thick-as-shit fascists, mid-life crisis melts, coked-up estate agents, serial exaggerators, and a culture that sees us annihilate ourselves on the regular as a means of fleeting escape. All get a full-on verbal tongue-lashing.
Dirty squatted warehouse music for clued up punks. Crank it waaaaaay up, ya cunts!

FROGGY & THE RINGES: 'RINGE ROCK POND SCUM' LP
Straight outta da swamp! A brand new LP from the irrepressible Froggy and his band of Ringes. More of the finest Frog-fronted garage punk in this world or any other! Think BILLY CHILDISH / ARMATIGE SHANKS with a rock 'n' roll man frog up front and four crazed Ringes backing him to the hilt.
FUCKIN' MINT! YOU NEED THIS!
Also released on Amok Records (Germany), so go there is it's closer to you.

LOOSE NUKES: 'FAST FORWARD TO EXTINCTION' LP
The only record here that hasn't got some James Domestic involvement!
LOOSE NUKES were formed in Houston, Texas in 2016 by Mike Grayum and Matt Juarez. The duo had previously played together in punk band CRIME WAVE and in hardcore thrash band JANITOR. The band were initially inspired by the early wave of American punk bands, particularly speed-core bands NEOS and KORO.
The initial line-up of the group consisted of Mike Grayum on lead vocals, Matthew Juarez and bass, Derek Harvey on guitars and David Klotz on drums. This line-up recorded the first demo Fast Forward to Extinction in July 2017 at Digital Warehaus studios, Houston. The group has since released 2 7" EPs and 1 full length LP.
The aforementioned demo is what you get here, albeit with one track dropped, and a few others from the same recording session added - remastered and on vinyl for the first time, and with new artwork. If you enjoy fast, intense, U.S. hardcore, then this is 100% for you!
