Free
end of year, Fuck 2020 digital label sampler now available via the
label Bandcamp and Soundcloud pages USA/MEXICO 'DEL RIO' LP COMING IN JANUARY
After such a shithouse year, 2021 is already guaranteed to start with a wallop as we also welcome back our Texas buddies USA/MEXICO with their third, and most devastating album yet 'Del Rio'
‘Del Rio’ is the third album from
the Austin triumvirate of guitarist Craig Clouse (Shit and Shine),
bassist Nate Cross (Marriage, Expensive Shit) and drummer King
Coffey (Butthole Surfers) and the band’s first release to
feature vocals from Colby Brinkman (Taverner). While their
two prior albums (2017’s ‘Laredo’ and 2019’s ‘Matamoros’)
were somewhere on the periphery of rock music , ‘Del Rio’ is a
step or several beyond and a real testament to human
imagination (maybe you’re impressed by Tesla Powerwall
batteries but that’s because you’ve not heard “Soft Taco”,
yet)
Once again co released with 12XU records, Riot Season will be covering the UK & Europe release with 12XU taking care of North America. Both versions have been cut and manufactured separately and vinyl colour will differ. The Riot version is pressing on gold vinyl and is a one off pressing.

Check out the sneak peak teaser on YouTube
or Soundcloud
The follow up to 2013's 'Revelation
Space' has been rumoured for many years. I've even heard tales of
several recordings being finished and scrapped over the last five
years. That's how hard it is to run a band when members are based
on different continents and in other very busy bands themselves.
But it's finally done. And it's being
pressed as I type.
The killer trio from the original
reformation is all intact, we have Kawabata Makoto (motorpsycho
guitar), Koji Shimura (drums) and Kawabe Taigen (bass/vocals) and
we're back to calling them just Mainliner once again.
Q. What does 'Dual Myths' sound like ?

TARAS BULBA 'SOUL WEAVER' LP OUT NOW. ORDER VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE
CHECK OUT THE PROMO VIDEOS ON THE LABEL YOUTUBE CHANNEL
Soul-Weaver was recorded between
February and April of 2020. The album is a sharp contrast to the
Taras Bulba debut. Whereas ‘One’ was a laid back
psilocybic novelty travelogue; Soul-weaver is more guitar driven
dream like psychedelia, mixing 60’s garage rock, shoegaze, bucolic
west coast acid folk and ambient feedback. The album builds on song
structures instead of drifting instrumentals prevalent on our debut
and is an indication of the path I want to go musically.
Constructing the album in such a short time and under lockdown
restrictions changed the way the album took shape. There were no
drum sessions between myself and Jon due to the social distance rule
and therefore percussion had to be constructed from drum machines or
‘found’ from previous sessions and cannibalised. So, in some
ways this is more a solo record (Jon has never heard the songs). It
is a guitar album whereas ‘One’ was a rhythm/percussion focused
recording.
Lyrically it draws on (quite
accidentally) the writings of Dion Fortune, particularly her novel
‘The Sea Priestess’ which I read 12 months before. It never even
came into mind until I started draughting the lyrics and things
started popping up that had very strong comparisons to that novel.
That’s the subconscious mind I suppose and also living next to the
Irish sea which is literally at the top of my street. I can see it
and smell the salt on the air everyday. I’m lucky really for that.
I took it all for granted up until the last year or two. The
recording has a bit of a watery, dreamy feel too and it’s also
haunted.
It’s haunted by a good soul though;
with electric blue eyes.
Early March I recorded the track ‘Sun
and Steel’ and I could hear a female vocal on it. I needed to
record a vocal and my sister in law always fancied herself as a bit
of a singer. I thought she could weave some magic on it. I text her
at 9:26am, it was a Thursday morning. She never replied.
This is for you Susie (1971 – 2020)
eternally in our hearts.
SHIT AND SHINE 'GOAT YELLING LIKE A MAN' LP OUT NOW. ORDER VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE
CHECK OUT THE 'WELCOME' VIDEO VIA YOUTUBE
Shit And Shine return
to the mighty Riot Season - the label that was brave enough to put
them on the map in the first place!
This LP, like last
years ‘DOING DRUGS, SELLING DRUGS’ returns to the black SLUDGE.
Sludge the way SLUDGE is meant to be ... fucking SLUDGY and EVIL.
This shit is
ridiculously HEAVY, in fact i’d say it’s one of the heaviest
sludgiest records ever made. Yeah, for real.
Sleep? Melvins? you
call that sludge!? PAH!! No, not quite. Sure it’s heavy and riffy
but NOTHING close to this SLOW MOTION EXPLODING MOUNTAIN OF FILTH
LAVA. Yeah I like that - that sums it up nice.
GOAT YELLING LIKE A MAN
what a great name for a fucked up record. No bullshit the LP
includes actual goats yelling like men as vocals.
Hail the mighty black
goat of your nightmares!
Hail Shit And fucking
Shine!.
When sludge needs to be
done PROPER, Shit And Shine DO NOT FUCK AROUND
BLACK HELIUM 'THE WHOLLY OTHER' LP OUT NOW! ORDER VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE
CHECK OUT THE PROMO VIDEOS ON THE LABEL YOUTUBE CHANNEL
Hot on the heels of the 'Primitive Fuck' repress, Black Helium return this summer with their sophomore album 'The Wholly Other'
Black Helium aim to deliver a lysergic
heterogeneous sprawl on this, their second LP ‘The Wholly
Other.’ From the blunt thunderous groove of ‘Hippie On A Slab’
to the narcotic tranquillity of ‘Teetering On The Edge’, via the
hypnotic ascension of ‘Pink Bolt’. ‘The Wholly Other’ was
recorded live over two loud, sweat drenched days in August 2019 by
Wayne Adams at Bear Bites Horse Studio (Green Lung, 11PARANOIAS,
Casual Nun), just before the band embarked on a UK tour with Pigs,
Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs.
Black Helium are a four-piece
psychedelic rock group, based in London. Never afraid to stray from
the beaten path, they traverse aural hallucinatory soundscapes; from
detuned Neanderthal rock to deep oceans of introspective blissed out
psychedelia. Influences include, amongst many: Amon Duul II, Loop,
Hawkwind, The Stooges, The Groundhogs, Spacemen 3 and Electric
Wizard.
Black HELIUM are
Stuart Gray (vocals, guitar)
Beck Harvey (bass, vocals)
Diogo Gomes (drums)
Davey Mulka (guitar)
Initial copies of the LP come with four bonus inserts/postcards designed by artist Danny Davies. Check out his site here
MUMMISE GUNS 'MUMMISE GUNS' LP OUT NOW. ORDER VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE
CHECK OUT THE 'FLATTENED EARTH' VIDEO ON THE LABEL YOUTUBE CHANNEL
Mummise Guns are :
Tracy Bellaries - Bass (Part Chimp,
Luminous Bodies, Ikara Colt)
Cleaver - Drums (Michael, Black Shape)
Matt Ridout - Guitar (Dethscalator,
Casual Nun)
Adam Ian Sykes - Guitar (Pigs Pigs Pigs
Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs)
Gordon Watson - Guitar (Terminal
Cheesecake, Luminous Bodies)
Alex Wilson - Vocals (Ghold, Shuck)
"I don't remember now"
It's hard to say how Mummise Guns
actually came to be a thing. What is certain is that Tracy Bellaries
and Matt Ridout had shared a flat for a while and were often
speaking about forming a group to have an outlet for some music that
Tracy had written, but above and beyond that initial idea the rest
is slightly hazy, or perhaps murky is the better word.
Also very much a fact rather than a
fiction is that the name was cooked up at Supernormal Festival in
2016 when Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs bassist Johnny Hedley
uttered the phrase 'Look at these guns, Mummise Guns' when everyone
was hanging around a tree swing (this sounds like we're making it up
now, but honest it happened, we think). Tracy and Matt immediately
adopted it despite protestations that it was a completely daft thing
to do. Thus, the band Mummise Guns was born.
Where, why and how the rest of the group
got involved is not 100% clear, but the initial lineup of Tracy,
Matt, Adam, Cleaver and Al prepped three of Tracy's songs and three
of Matt's into something solid enough to record by early 2017 and
the band dropped into Wayne Adam's (Petbrick, Big Lad) Bear Bites
Horse Studios in East London to track their debut self-titled LP
Mummise Guns (Riot Season REPOSE094LP), with Al and Adam adding
further recordings at Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs guitarist
Sam Grant's Blank Studios in Newcastle.
After that, it's safe to say things got
busy. Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs took over the airwaves with
a series of incredible LP's on Rocket Recordings, Luminous Bodies
wrote and recorded an absolute belter of a second album for Box
Records, Casual Nun dropped a couple of full-length smashers and a
split with Bruxa Maria on Box Records and Hominid Sounds, Ghold
released a killer LP on Crypt of the Wizard, and Black Shape and
Michael both dropped some classics on Hominid Sounds and Cracked
Ankles respectively.
Yet, throughout all of this intense
activity, the Mummise Guns LP lurked in the shadows like a
malevolent beast just waiting for the right moment. That moment was
early 2019 when everyone regrouped at Bear Bites Horse, including
new addition Gordon Watson, for some final overdubs and mixing. And
here it is, 2020, and the proof of all this hard graft is finally
available to you.
So here are six tracks of noise-fuelled
amphetamine that is perfect to drive all the right people from your
house and attract all the wrong ones in. Play it loud.

'Sloath' That's right people.

You can pre-order a copy now via either the label webshop or bandcamp site for the princely sum of 15 English pounds
ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE & THE MELTING PARAISO U.F.O. FEATURING GEOFF LEIGH 'CHOSEN STAR CHILD'S CONFESSION' LP/CD OUT NOW. ORDER VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE
The career of Acid Mothers Temple has
been an interesting and varied one. With well over 200 releases to
their name since 1996, the band have certainly put in the hard
yards. Recent times have seen a resurgence in their underground cult
popularity.
Between Autumn 2014 and December 2015,
core AMT members Tsuyama Atsushi (bassist / vocalist) and Shimura
Koji (drums) left the band. Original members Makoto Kawabata &
Hiroshi Higashi took this as their chance to create a new line-up
and that this was a good chance to refresh the band with new
members.
The last Acid Mothers Temple album
released by Riot Season was 'Reverse Of Rebirth in Universe' in 2018
which was incredibly well received, and is now into it's fourth
vinyl pressing. For that album the newly settled line up featuring
new boys Wolf (bass), Satoshima Nani (drums) and Jyonson Tsu
(vocals) re-recorded old AMT classics and a few new jams. The album
and subsequent world tour were incredibly well received, not only by
long time AMT diehards but also a whole new crowd who were
discovering the band for the first time, either via the album of the
show, which included the bands first appearance at Glastonbury
Festival in summer 2019.
Now we finally get to 'Chosen Star
Child's Confession', the latest studio album from the band which
should be considered the genuine 'first album' of this new line-up
with the added presence of Geoff Leigh (ex Henry Cow)
Now available for pre-order in three formats. Limited orange vinyl LP (500 copies), CD (500 copies) in card digifile sleeve with bonus track and a mail order only exclusive pink vinyl LP (240 copies) both vinyl editions come with download code that also includes the CD only bonus track of course
