JACK OBLIVIAN - Sweet Thang 7"
A new solo offering from the Memphis rock legend and frontman of the THE OBLIVIANS and THE TENESSEE TEARJERKERS. Stripped down, dirty rock goodness. A split release from Bermuda Mohawk and The Wind Records and sure to sell out of initial run of 500 quick! -$5.00
JASON ALARM - Engage CD ep
Debut offering from Lansing hoodrats. For fans of catchy-as hell punk/synth explosion. -$7.00
CHEAP GIRLS/FAILURES' UNION - split 7"
Cheap Girls and the Failures' Union (feat. Jason from Lemuria) just so happen to be the newest signee's to Vinny Fiorello's upstart Paper & Plastick label (he did pretty well for himself with Fueled by Ramen). What better way to whet your appetite for these band's upcoming releases than a split 7" co-released by Bermuda Mohawk and Art of the Underground. Each band takes turns with a new original and a cover (Cheap Girls do Dramarama and Failures' Union takes Dinosaur Jr) for an excellent listen. A total must have for fans of either band. The first pressing (black) is limited to 500 copies, so move quick!. -$4.50
RIVER CITY REBELS - In Love/Loveless CD
Writing their respective takes on the 8 years of tough and relentless touring/recording/living, 'In Love/Loveless' functions as Dan & Brandon's 'Speakerboxxx/The Love Below', in many ways. This album is sure to resonate with long-term fans of the band as it follows an amazing progression into the next chapter of the River City Rebels. The Rebels now take noticible cues from some of the best moments of luminaries such as The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and The Replacements and have seamlessly integrated them into the band's signature sound to create a weathered rock sound that echoes the experience of the band's peers while maintaining its own (now very) distinctive sound. 'In Love/Loveless' will certainly stand as a "must-have" for any long-time RCR fans while also introducing them to a new audience in the roots/rock community that will not be able to deny the depth, insight, pain and experience in the vocals as well as the exceptional use of strings, horns and piano in the production. -$10
RIVER CITY REBELS - Keepsake of Luck...No Real Faith LP
Vinyl LP release of ex-Victory Records punk veteran's slab of pure, weathered rock 'n roll genius. -$10
ONLY THUNDER - Lower Bounds LP (w/ CD copy included!)
An exciting debut 12" LP from this Denver, CO supergroup that features ex-members of The Blackout Pact, Pinhead Circus, Qualm, Cost of Living, and Ghost Buffalo. Lower Bounds picks up where The Blackout Pact's fantastic 2005 Geoff Rickley-produced Astro Magnetics release, 'Hello Sailor', left off with the same powerful, upbeat, melodic crunch and gruff vocals, but with an added focus on dynamics and atmosphere. The resulting 11-track LP elevates the band into a stratosphere occupied by such melodic heavyweights as Quicksand, Far, Helmet, and latter-period Hot Water Music & Small Brown Bike. Pre-order now and don't miss your chance to nab one of the EXTREMELY limited 1st run copies (200 on Black vinyl, 300 on TBA color/design, each with its own special 4-color hand-screened cover & silk-screened CD copy included). -$12
CHEAP GIRLS - Find Me a Drink Home (CD)
"Beyond the sweet initial taste, 'Find Me a Drink Home' has strong bite. Much like loud pop icons Dinosaur Jr., Cheap Girls has a lot to say beyond the tight hooks and crushing volume. Ian Graham develops songs like conversations enveloped over a pint of whiskey: realizations come hard and peace of mind comes even harder. Even if these songs don't develop a conclusion, the reward is in the journey. Beneath the stunning power pop that shows off early 90's radio influences such as the Gin Blossoms and the Lemonheads, lies a rewarding depth not often found in songs this catchy." -$9
THE DOGS - Purity Not Perfection (DVD)
Los Angeles by-way-of Lansing, MI punks The Dogs are back, some 31 years after releasing what some consider the first ever punk rock single. This DVD offers a closer look at a band that has been name-checked by everyone from John Sinclair to Henry Rollins and stands as the missing link between the Detroit grit proto-punk of the MC5 and the Stooges and the early-80's Southern California punk sound of such bands as The Germs and Black Flag. -$10
DANGER SOCIETY - Paint the Walls (CD)
The Lansing hoodrats who brought you the Chicken Flickers are back on the streets with Danger Society. Think extremely catchy psuedo-squatter style fortified with 100% of your daily value of shout-along choruses (in vain of Leftover Crack or Falling Sickness). -$8
THE PLURALS - Whatevers Forever (CD)
This Michigan 3-piece fully comes into its own on the first BMP/Good Time Gang co-release. 'Whatevers Forever' features 10-tracks that seamlessly run the gamut of rock, punk, psych and everything that was good about the 90's (fuzz, feedback, guy/girl vocals, loud-soft dynamic) and is packaged in a handsome, carbon-footprint friendly eco-wallet. Great band, great people. Check out their record label as well! myspace.com/goodtimegangrecordings -$8
RANDY THUNDERBIRD - "Good Enough" 7"
This Kalamazoo, MI 4-piece completely outdid themselves on their debut 4-song 7" by playing fast, catchy, clever, sing-a-long punk which brings to mind the golden era of 90's pop-punk and a bevy of new comparisons that come to mind every time you spin it. These guys, who mix it up by all sharing song-writing/vocal duties, planned on releasing this 7" themselves, but when we heard it, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to make this BMP 0030. Fresh off of a successful tour with Hell or Highwater, make sure to check out Randy Thunderbird and "Good Enough", which proves its title to be the understatement of the year. -$4
WASTELANDER - I.C.B.M. 7"
Four post-apocalyptic dirges into the despair of the Infernal City on 7" vinyl (200 grey/black splatter, 300 grey w/ black haze). Somewhat of a metal supergroup, featuring ex/current members of SUMMON, HARBINGER, MASOCHIST, SUPERCHRIST, & THE MEATMEN, WASTELANDER delivers a unique sound that appeals to thrash, black metal, and early hardcore/punk fans alike. -$5
CAVALCADE - Into Bolivian (CD)
The debut full-length by these doom/psych-metal provocateurs takes you through 10 seperate vignettes, thematically linked as exporations into the minds of actual schitzophrenics and borderline personalities such as Joseph "The Pigeon Man" Zeman, Edward "King of Coral Castle" Leedskalnin, and Mike Tyson to name a few. RIYL: The Melvins, Sleep, Mr. Bungle, Black Sabbath, The Refused, Sonic Youth, or Mastodon. Includes full digipak packaging. -$10
MATADORS OF SHAME - If We Go Down, We Go Down Together (CD)
Eleven loose tales of drinking on the porch with your friends 'til the sun comes up, kicking around East Lansing, balancing school, work, drinking, being in a band and drinking. Made several critics top-10 of '07 lists and is an absolute must for any fans of The Lawrence Arms, Samiam, Jawbreaker or Hot Water Music. $10
HELL OR HIGHWATER - Dichotomy of the Damned (CD EP)
The EP that kicked off the dysfunctional BMP/HOH marriage. Speaking of dysfunctional marriages, this ridiculously catchy EP has more shout-alongs than the Whitney Houston/Bobby Brown union did. $6
HELL OR HIGHWATER - I'm Not a Religious Man, But Today I'm Praying for Death (CD EP)
The latest shot of righteous vitriol from the "Fest"-tested purveyors of socially conscious, metallic-tinged punk rock. $6
THE CARTRIDGE FAMILY - tcf/dvd
Follow Michigan's clown princes of punk rock through their first 3 years of mayhem, mischief and trendsetting. From Abe Lincoln worship to 20+ band-member freakouts, this DVD stakes tCF's claim as midwestern forebears of a burgeoning genre. $10
