OUT NOW: BLANK REAM/TJSA/EAGLE BOYS 7"s

 

BLANK REALM 'Hey! Little Child' 7” (SOLD OUT)

NGL015/JS#1: PRESS SHEET

Blank Realm have been setting hearts aflutter in Brisbane and beyond (including, most recently, the United States) for the better part of the last decade. Over two LP's and a gaggle of small run CDr and tape releases, this rabid family unit have blurred the lines between spoiled Krautrock, FM channel-surfing and psychedelic shrubbery. Their first release on NGL is also the first in a series of Negative Guest List 'Jukebox Singles', where artist's are invited to take a song that has been pre-written by another and attempt to transcend the meaning of the word “cover”, the only guidelines being that it should be fit to cut at 45RPM's. Here, the Spencer's (and a Walsh!) add a blazed psychedandy vibe to Alex Chilton's orgiastic “Hey! Little Chid”, taken from his classic 'Like Flies On Sherbert' LP. If this is your first taste of BR it will surely only leave you wanting more, and for the old fans here is your chance to be satiated in hearing the only tune this band has covered on stage immortalised to wax. Get a gobfull.

TJSA 'Burning Trash' 7”

NGL016: PRESS SHEET

Two unreleased tracks from Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments, taken from a '95 demo (possibly funded by Dinosaur Mahaffey) that mostly featured tracks which would later appear on their second LP ''Straight to Video'. B-side “Price of My Words” is described by Ron as an eggy version of “Lightnin' Rod” from said record, while A-side is a woozy, entirely new, old hit sure to give you a hangover tomorrow.

EAGLE BOYS 'Kambalda Boys' 7”

NGL017: PRESS SHEET

The Eagle Boys were a foursome who had gathered from all corners of the globe (including two from Western Australia) to play a type of rock based music vaguely reminiscent of 76'ers like Wire, the Saints and X. They were based in London and played a handful of shows to few. Fans of modern Australian imports like Bits of Shit or Eddy Current Suppression Ring might find something to like here. Named for a notoriously bland national pizza chain (“tinned bomb shelter vegetables, powdered-dust bases, Carlingroyals20innitcheesesemenscrape, OAP skin-fold oil and frozen pie meat”)- or more likely, the Kambalda Australian football club- the Eagle Boys were and remain a truly great band that went well under the radar in their short tenure, and this EP-mastered by Iron Maiden's recording engineer- serves as a reminder that if you ain't heard of it, it must be good.

BYRON COLEY & ROLAND WOODBE ON "PISS FIST"

Byron Coley is a man of refined taste. A book of his early writings was recently released, and if you've read yer share of 'Forced Exposure', you'd know he was one of the few scribes able to pluck the manic 'tude of Richard Meltzer and make it both wildly entertaining and readable. Here is what he had to say about the Wonderfuls 7" in the July issue of THE WIRE:

Great debut single by an excellent Brisbane duo. The sounds range from toasted acoustic tunes to raunchy, effects driven riff-rock of a very shabby nature. their vocals sound drunk as hell, alternately filled with snot and utterly lost. The songs have enough pop structure to hold together, and the results are goddamn inspired.

Also, a reviewer by R.S. Woodbe of Siltblog, another folk who knows what he is talking about:

There's been this fanzine what's sprung up down to Australia called Negative Guest List & it's got lot's of crows crowin. Which is a good thing. 'Cept I am a sad fuckin sap & ain't even seen an issue. Ever! The feller what's behind it, Mr. Brendan Somethinorother, seems like a straight shooter though, so's here's hopin such a glarin oversight is rectified soon. But then before I's could even get a gander at page one he's gone & released a 7", usin the street cred of the NGL name as collateral. Hmmmm, now where have I come across this business model before?
Anyways, the Wonderfuls s/t 7" is a humdinger & a half. Purported to be the work of 2 cousins-one's of which is mentally unstable (LOOK WHO'S TALKING?-Capt'n Siltbreeze)-these 4 tracks rank this hoss high amongst the recent Aussie imports. It has a deliciously skewered crackle that recalls 4 different bands what was citizens within the Terse Tapes universe 1 million art-noise punk years ago. I mean listen to it! At any given time they could be Holiday Fun, East End Butchers, Agent Orange, Pastel Bats, Invisible Boys, Wet Taxis, Lazio Toth, Lunatic Fringe, Mice Against God, Pissy Relay Switches, Mesh & Disneyland but never Bathroom Beans, Art Throbs, Mindless Delta Children, Junk Logic, Painkillers, Saxaphone Caper, Zzzzzzzzz, The Klu, Negative Reaction, Laughing Hands, JP Sartre Band or Disneyland. It's a slippery slope, you know? But The Wonderfuls sound like they's squiggle is just right. Let's hear more! Long may they swish.

SLUG GUTS 'Livin' Evil' LP AVAILABLE NOW

                   SLUG GUTS 'Livin' Evil' LP

NGL010: PRESS SHEET

'Livin' Evil' finds Slug Guts- Brisbane's finest exports of contemporary adult swamp rock- at a middle ground between the first LP 'Down on the Meat' (Killdozer, Venom P. Stinger, Birthday Party), its follow up and rapid departure 'Howin' Gang' (The Triffids, Inca Babies, Bauhaus), and a future not yet determined. Recorded live at the Globe Theatre late 2010, 'Livin' Evil' contains mostly new tracks from the group's upcoming third LP, as well as a cover of Lubricated Goat's “In the Raw”: the urban hammerhead menace of the original replaced w/ dying cockroach vocals & grubby free jazz yalpin's.

HATEFUCK "Rock and Roll Let Down" 7"EP Now Available

          HATEFUCK 'Rock 'N' Roll Let Down' 7”

NGL011: PRESS SHEET

First official release from Hatefuck, wherein lies an embryonic Pink Reason. The Hatefuck crew (HFK) existed in the early 2000's, their legacy left in a number of legendary live shows and a handful of demo recordings, from which these tracks were decalcified. 'Rock 'N' Roll Let Down' contains three cuts of amphetamine hardcore. A side “When Time Takes Over” is a long rock-based tune that necessitated the 33RPM run time speed. The flip offers three faster cuts, from the high octane punk of “HWY 10” to the Stoogoid rumble of “Little Girls Make the World Go Round” .

A fourth Hatefuck track “Well Dressed Man”, is also available on the 'Wings Over Gabba: The Best in Songs of Negativity' comp LP.
