HIBUSHIBIRE 'OFFICIAL LIVE BOOTLEG VOL 6' LP
THIS RELEASE IS NOW COMPLETELY SOLD OUT. THERE WILL BE NO REPRESS. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT! Ultra limited transparent yellow vinyl bootleg style live LP. Recorded live in Nottingham in May 2019 on the bands last UK tour with the original three piece line up. A handy little live momento to pass the time until we get the bands third album proper. Due to it's limited nature, this release will only be available direct and via few selected shops/distros.
DOPE PURPLE 'GRATEFUL END' LP
THIS RELEASE IS NOW TOTALLY SOLD OUT. A REPRESS IS PLANNED AND WILL BE DONE AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN GIVEN ALL THE VINYL PRESSING DELAYS CRIPPLING US
Welcome from Taiwan DOPE PURPLE
This Friday, March 5th 2021 sees the
DOPE PURPLE 'Grateful End' LP go up for pre sale via the label
webshop and bandcamp site at 10am UK time.
The album is a co release between Riot
Season Records & WV Sorcerer Productions, with the latter
mainly handling the release over in the Far East countries. Both
editions are exactly the same, all pressed on transparent yellow
vinyl with a download code.
I'm expecting stock to arrive at RSHQ
early April so will aim to have it in shops/distros around April
23rd. Mail order copies will ship once they land here of course.
As this is a split label release, i'm
getting less to sell for my own needs than i normally would. I've
no idea what the interest will be in this one, but for me anyone
with a love of Acid Mothers, Hibushibire, Les Rallizes Denudes etc
should be all over it ... but i'm biased obviously. That said,
that's exactly what got me into them when i stumbled across a link
to this album last year.
Please note, this LP is a totally
remastered version of the original limited CD/Cassette release
from 2019.
USA/MEXICO 'DEL RIO' LP
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.

and a limited double vinyl (2xLP) housed in a gloss varnished 6mm
spined gatefold sleeve with black polylined inners bags. This

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
