HENRY BLACKER 'THE MAKING OF JUNIOR BONNER' LP OUT NOW. ORDER NOW VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE
HENRY BLACKER return with their third
album ‘The Making Of Junior Bonner’ on April 13th. The follow up to
2013's Hungry Dogs Will Eat Dirty Puddings and 2015's Summer Tombs
will once again be released on Riot Season on vinyl and as a limited
run cassette on sister label Swap Meat Records.
Henry Blacker formed because there's
nothing to do in Somerset. Henry Blacker formed because the other
band they do (Hey Colossus) rehearse in London and they wanted a
band they didn't need to travel the width of the country to jam
with.
This nine song 40 minute record
lyrically covers the downtrodden, shaking them with lysergically
gloopy riffs of both the upbeat and downbeat nature. it is perfectly
suited for 30 people in a bar having a night of pints. Or a packed
venue in some exotic hot spot full of characters having a night of
white wines. Or would sit nicely sound tracking a person at home
secretly having a night of cans alone, drowning their misery under
the weight of an 8 pack of European strength lager.
Inspiration comes from all the desert
rock bands and angular punk rock bands that always get listed on
these things, you can imagine. Bands that list bands on these things
that they want you to think they sound like are ridiculous. They did
recently get included on a recent Bandcamp piece: 'Top Ten UK
Noiserock bands', but that list didn't include Drunk In Hell so it's
not to be trusted.
This record was recorded in Bristol and
Barton St David by Ben Turner. Look up Barton St David, it's in the
middle of nowhere and it's really lovely. It's also where HB
rehearse. It's got it all, and biscuits on top.
Henry Blacker will be touring here and
mainland Europe to support the album from April onwards

BLOWN OUT 'SUN ROT' LIMITED VINYL PRESSING COMING MAY 2018. PRE ORDER NOW VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE
July 2014 was my first encounter with
BLOWN OUT label wise.
That's when sister label, Swap Meat
Records put out the bands debut physical release 'Sun Rot' as a
limited run tape. That quickly sold out and two furthers runs were
made and also sold out.
Since then, we've released a further four
Blown Out releases on Riot Season. Drifting Way Out Between Suns
(2014), New Cruiser (2016), Superior Venus (2017) and just last week
In Search Of Highs Volume 1 (2018).
So what better thing to do next than go
back to where it all began and release 'Sun Rot' on wax at long last.
'Sun Rot' was recorded to tape and was very lo-fi in nature. We've
rescued the original tapes and have tweaked them for vinyl ever so
slightly but it very much remains the lo-fi classic it once was.
It's off at the pressing plant now,
getting cut/mastered and once we've okayed the test pressings it'll be
pressed up in a limited one off run of 300 copies on space black
vinyl. The artwork has been re imagined by the original cover artist,
and long time Blown Out artwork collaborator Anthony Downie -
Illustrations and it looks sweet.

PURPLE VINYL REPRESS NOW IN STOCK
USA/MEXICO ANNOUNCE FIRST EUROPEAN SHOW Texan's USA/MEXICO have announced their first, and probably only European show for 2018. The band will support Craig's other band Shit And Shine in Oslo on April 14th 2018
COMACOZER / BLOWN OUT 'IN SEARCH OF HIGHS VOLUME 1' LP OUT NOW
The first slab in a possible new split
series titled 'In Search Of Highs'
Both the bands here are instrumental
trio's, BLOWN OUT (UK) & COMACOZER (Australia) are interlinked by
history and their shared love of sonic psych explorations and both are
here for Phase 1 of this cosmic experience.
You will no doubt already know the two
bands gracing this first slab of wax. They're from worlds apart,
geographically that is, but musically are very much on the same plain.
Both bands have multiple releases behind
them, and this one is sure to pick them up new fans aplenty.
Blown Out deliver three relatively short
(for them) blasts, channelling their inner Stooges / Marble Sheep
coming on like grand funk space lords. Three tracks of groove sonics
and head changes.
Comacozer go the opposite route and slide
in with another of their trademark epic trips, that sucks everything
around it into it's own cosmic gloop.
There will be 500 copies available. Half
pressed on green wax and half on purple. Take your pick, or pick both.
HEY COLOSSUS 'RRR' EXPANDED VINYL 2XLP OUT NOW
After much deliberation over the last few years, we (myself and the band) have decided the time is right to finally reissue 'RRR' on vinyl. As you'll probably know the original vinyl run was super limited and super hard work to do. Each of the original 200 copies came in individually painted sleeves, which took the band and artist Chav something like three months to complete .. a true labour of love!. Anyway, they sold out straight away and since then (2011) it's been unavailble. So here it is again, but this time it's a DOUBLE VINYL! The original, remastered/re-cut LP comes with a bonus LP full of unused RRR session tunes. There are 400 for the world, all pressed on classic black vinyl and housed in a fat spined sleeve with double sided insert. There will be NO REPRESS The intended shop release date is early March (will confirm soon) ORDER NOW VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE
ORCHESTRA OF CONSTANT DISTRESS 'DISTRESS TEST' VINYL LP OUT NOW
Noise fans REJOICE as we welcome ORCHESTRA
OF CONSTANT DISTRESS to our little world.
ORCHESTRA OF CONSTANT DISTRESS are
something of a Swedish super-group featuring Joachim Nordwall (The
Skull Defekts, iDEAL Recordings), Anders Bryngelsson (Brainbombs, No
Balls), Henrik Rylander (The Skull Defekts, Union Carbide Productions)
and Henrik Andersson.
'Distress Test' is their second album
following 2017's self titled debut on 8mm Records and will be released
officially on February 23rd. It's being pressed now so we should have
no delays (fingers crossed)
The LP is limited to 300 copies in total
pressed on classic black vinyl, and i have just over 200 for my own
needs (mail order and distro/shops etc) As with all RS releases, it's
housed in a sturdy 350gsm printed card sleeve with black inner and
download code.
Musically this is harsh, relentless, pummeling
noise rock (for want of a shitty genre tag). This short quote is from
a review of their debut album and i think it nails it perfectly ...
“JUST WHEN YOU THINK SOMETHING IS ABOUT
TO HAPPEN, IT DOESN’T.”
It may be called 'Distress Test' but it
could also be called 'Endurance Test'. F*** yeah!
As a bonus, the band have recorded another
albums worth of stuff called 'Abandon', and it'll be
available as an optional cassette only release with the LP. I have
exactly 50 copies of the tape (which is technically on sister label
SWAP MEAT, CAT# SMR16) and they will all be offered as a package with
the LP for starters. I'll see how they go and if any are left i'll
consider making them available on their own in due course. * TAPE IS
NOW SOLD OUT *
FAMILIA DE LOBOS 'FAMILIA DE LOBOS' WHITE VINYL LP OUT NOW The first RS release of 2018 will be the self titled debut album from Argentinean's Familia De Lobos (Family Of Wolves). Once again, i'm happy to say it's something a bit different. It's clearly got the hallmarks of psychedelic rock, but there's a lot more going on than just that. There are 300 copies being pressed, all on gorgeous snow white vinyl, housed in a 350gsm printed reverse board card sleeve. I only have 180 copies for the label itself, so make sure you get in quick if you want one. You can check out the opening song and pre-order copies now via the webshop and bandcamp site.
PRE ORDER NOW VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE. ALL MAIL ORDER COPIES ARE NOW SOLD OUT. THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT AS ALWAYS!
PERHAPS 'V' VINYL LP OUT NOW
ORDER NOW VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE The fifth album by Perhaps is a complete trip of an album and out now. It's definitely one that's beyond hard to pigeonhole and one that really needs to be sat and listened to in all it's 36 minutes of weird and wonderful glory. The LP is limited to 300 copies pressed on classic black vinyl with a wrap around style OBI strip. As a bonus, you can also get hold of a special edition with a bonus CD-R, 'V:Redux' which contains a completely different version of the album. I have exactly 75 of those LP/CD-R editions to go around so snap one up quick if it takes your fancy, There wont be anymore once they're gone.
“You are an explorer, and you represent
our species, and the greatest good you can do is to bring back a new
idea, because our world is endangered by the absence of good ideas.
Our world is in crisis because of the absence of consciousness.”
Terence McKenna
About the band/album :
Odd disturbances are about. Yes,
definitely odd. Deep, carnal rumblings akin to the kind one only feels
in times of great danger, or great reverence. The kind of
hyper-intense inter-environmental buzzing that drives men to kill for
no reason they can feverishly describe at a later period when the
buzzing finally ceases, and their sanity returns with the cold, wet
realization of the deeds they committed with their own god-given
hands.
PERHAPS came into existence at the hands
of Jim Haney at the Berklee College of Music in 2012. 'V' is their
fifth release, the previous 4 being self released gaining infamy
amongst listeners, and notably collaborating with Makoto Kawabata
(Acid Mothers Temple), Cotton Casino (Acid Mothers Temple), Tabata
Mitsuru (Acid Mothers Temple), Kenneth Topham (Giraffes Giraffes), Man
Man (Bryan Murphy), Grass Is Green / Speedy Ortiz (Devin McKnight),
Ben Talmi (Art Decade / Ben Talmi solo), Damo Suzuki (Can) etc.
As Perhaps’ discography grew, stories of
the group’s incredibly unorthodox and experimental methods of
composition and recording began to emerge.
With 'V', the band’s fifth release, now
finished and impending release; it appears as if their approach to
recording and composition has changed very little by means of mystical
influence and general mischief. The months in which the recording of
'V' took place was certainly interesting, rumours began to emerge of
the band’s presence in the Himalayan mountains, presumably for the
gargantuan natural acoustics Haney has notably mentioned as a key to
Perhaps’ recording process. While it is not entirely certain whether
or not the group remained in the Himalayas for the entire length of
the 'V' recording endeavour, a certain cult-like attraction to seek
their whereabouts became favourable amongst some diehards.
The few who seemed to succeed on the trip
returned with contrasting results. Those who were lucky returned in a
perplexing state of enlightenment, divulging stories of mountains
speaking great cosmic secrets, while others returned temporarily
blind, or not at all. However, now that the album is finished there is
little left to do but go along for the ride; And while
complacency seems the easiest way to approach the unapproachable, the
daunting question still stands: How far did they go this time? We’ve
all felt it a little bit. Whether it be merely an uneasy feeling, or a
full blown psychotic breakdown, one definite thing is for certain:
“V” is done, and it’s a doozy. No use for cardio or keto in
preparation for this one, just light some incense, pour a Chivas, and
buckle up. Or don’t, it won’t matter.
THE COSMIC DEAD 'PSYCH IS DEAD' BLACK VINYL REPRESS IN STOCK NOW ORDER NOW VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE
Psych
Is Repressed!
There is also a limited mail order only combo deal packaged with a live CD-R recorded on the bands recent European tour. It's a killer little recording and comes in a printed slipcase sleeve. There aren't too many of these, approx 100 up for grabs, and another 50 on their own for those folks that already have the LP and don't want to fork out for another copy.
HEY COLOSSUS 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' VINYL LP OUT NOW
ORDER NOW VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE Nine years after we put it out on CD, i'm delighted to announce the vinyl edition is coming at long last!. It's been brought up many times over the years but now seemed the right time to actually do it. It's a one off black vinyl pressing and all being well it'll be in shops sometime during early September. Here's what the band have to say about the album's long overdue vinyl release ...
'Happy
Birthday’ was Hey Colossus’s 4th album, and it was originally
released by Riot Season back in 2008 on CD only.
The album marked the beginning of chapter
two for the band, it was the first for Riot Season, the first where
the wings were spread and the band took flight. Total noise rock, 100%
out there sounds. The band was a 5 piece at the time and had just
completed a tour of Spain that was riddled with ups and downs but
mainly full of future talk.
Having done three albums on their own
label the main topic was what next? 'You gotta keep moving' is the
bands mantra, still is to this day - check the three recent records on
Rocket Recordings and compare them to the first records.
It was time to move away from conventional
song writing and screw with the heads.
‘Happy Birthday’ was recorded in
Dropout, South London. The only label they sent it too was Riot Season
as Mainliner, Shit And Shine and Circle were doing stuff with them at
that time. Riot Season said YES so the CD was released. It was the
beginning of the NOISE ROCK TRILOGY (HA-HA!) all on Riot Season,
‘Happy Birthday’, ‘Eurogrumble Vol 1’ and ‘RRR’.
Now, nine years later it’s finally time
for the vinyl version.
No tweaks. No new mastering bullshit. Nothing different. Same songs, on a slab of classic black vinyl"
