ROCK BOTTOM

Customers in the US chasing Helta Skelta records hit up Phil at Rock Bottom Records.

"Domestic release from Perth's best kept secret Helta Skelta (aside from Prag whom they share a singer). Musically its a mix of Wire demo's, classic Aussie punk (The Victims), and some early 80's hardcore thrown in for good measure (I'm thinkin' Middle Class). They have LP coming out on Deranged hopefully in the near future. 329 copies pressed with Risographed printed covers."












Also got in copies of the new BRANDO'S ISLAND 7" and it's fucking good.

HELTER SKELTER

Another track from the new LP. Preorders up for people in the US now, but we'll be handling distribution for people in Oz. US tour soon

DISTRO: DIÄT - POSITIVE ENERGY

ADAGIO830: Brought together by a shared enthusiasm for bleak UK punk and a history of playing in hardcore bands, Berlin based DIÄT have created a sound that they have described, perhaps not entirely seriously, as ‘tough new wave’.  Fans of Crisis, Killing Joke and The Mob should be pleased by the band’s unlikely synthesis of depressive drift and cranked, accelerated energy. Recorded last Winter while huddled in a practice space overlooking the industrial landscape of frozen East Berlin, the album finds Diät reining in the threads of malignant enthusiasm still peppered throughout their earlier recordings to focus on the cynicism and dejectedness that binds them as a band.  Intending to create an album that showcases each song individually and plays out like a mixtape, Diät have boldly attempted to create a sound of their own - the sound of checking your account balance to see if you’ve been paid yet…but you haven’t.

As well as other releases from STATIC SHOCK MUSIK.

One of the most important punk bands from Switzerland. 23 songs from 1979-1983 of catchy female fronted punk rock. Straight up and powerful 77 punk. Pretty well in line with the UK tradition but with more punch. All of these tracks are well produced too. No throw aways, no shoddy demo recordings.

Cold Meat playing the Bird next weekend

R R REVIEWS

TERMINAL BOREDOM
I didn't think we'd be seeing another Red Red Kroovvy record, they seemed like the sort of band who would make a great little punk 7" and then disappear. But they're still banging around Perth, and 'II' shows some progression...no, just kidding, they still sound like the Murder Punk comps run through a sieve and distilled into some sort of pure Australian Seventies punk-thud. The girl singer really lets it rip on this one, and this is a real value with five songs on it, and they're all 100% punk, no indie rock or synths anywhere to be found. "Desire II" is the second coming of Suicice Squad, "Real Life" crawls on the floor like a slightly more competent Germs, "Global Citizen" gets all political and almost starts making me think they've heard a Crass record since we last heard from them. B-Side has "New Year" which is just rude punk rock that you dont hear much anymore - just a riff and lyrics that yell AT you, and speaking of yelling, "Sick" really sends this record off on a high note. Absolutely recommended and absolutely punk.(RK)

YELLOW GREEN RED
Red Red Krovvy take their time, following their 2013 7″ EP with this new one roughly two years later (which is equivalent to fifteen years in punk time). I appreciate their unhurried approach, and that sort of casual attitude seeps into the unpolished lo-fi punk rock of this EP. They plod along like Fatal Microbes, occasionally recall the gnarlier moments of Naked Aggression’s existence, and probably work in fine tandem with Ausmuteants, were they to ever share a bill. Maybe some early FYP moments too, in the way that the drumming is delightfully sloppy and results in some unexpected beats and changes. A song like “New Year” shouldn’t make me want to mosh, and yet it does, as the band’s humble means do little to mask their fiery intent. This band is probably all wimpy nerds, but I still wouldn’t mess with them, you know?

RED RED KROVVY 7" now available at the stellar EASTER BILBY RECORDS too http://easterbilbyrecords.bigcartel.com/ (US)
And STATIC SHOCK RECORDS http://www.staticshockmusik.com/catalog/(EUROPE)

BEYOND THE BLACK STUMP

It's been a while coming, but the new HELTA SKELTA LP should be out in a couple of months, with Deranged Records releasing this one internationally.
In light of this too, the US pressing of the Reds 7" (red vinyl, different covers) is now available on Rock Bottom Records. We've got band copies available here bigcartel

RRK 7" (SHIT STAIN VINYL)

Got some real limited copies of the Red Red Krovvy 7" left. These were an over run of 6 copies. If interested email gettingthefear@hotmail.com. Trades considered.

EARTH BASTARD - DEMO CS

Now available from US distros SORRY STATE and SOAP AND SPIKES
SORRY STATE: "Demo cassette from this new band out of Perth, Australia that features members of Helta Skelta. While a lot of the bands coming out of Australia have the rock and roll edge that one associates with the history of punk in that country, but this is full-bore crusty hardcore along the lines of Totalití_r. And when I say this sounds like Totalití_r I'm not joking... I know that's sort of a generic reference point for bands that play fast, non-stadium d-beat, but man Earth Bastard actually sound a LOT like them. The recording on this tape is also great... it's easy to be either too clean or too raw with this style, but Earth Bastard nail it with a sound that's clear, heavy, but just a little bit fuzzy and raw. More importantly, though, the energy level is absolutely through the roof here. If you dig stuff like Skemí_ta or Green Beret you need to check this out... it's a monster!"

I've still got a handful left. Might have some at TOTAL ATTACK this year too, which EARTH BASTARD is playing

EAGLE BOYS - Kambalda 7"

Fuckin' great British / Oz punk. Got a coupl a' copies of this in stock.



The Eagle Boys were a foursome who had gathered from all corners of the globe (including two or three 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”), 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. (Brendon Annesley/Negative Guest List)

RRK 7"

US customers, the RED RED KROVVY 7" is now available from Grave Mistake Records and Sorry State Records. So save on postage and pick one up from here.

SORRY STATE: 2nd 7" from this Australian band with a few well-regarded cassette releases and a previous 7" on RIP Society. This EP definitely continues Australia's recent trend of absolutely killing it... Red Red Kroovy are kind of raw and primal, but without falling into the trap of sounding too much like any one particular era or band that they sound overly retro. I'm kind of stumped for reference points because this just sounds so straightforwardly punk that there's really not another word you need to attach to it. The riffs are really simple and straightforward, but it's just mega catchy and mean. If you're into recent bands like the UV Race, Deaf Wish, etc. you'll definitely want to check this out, but it also has more than a little of the Murder Punk sound of bands like the Victims and Razar in it as well.

DISTRO: AJAX, GAS RAG, BLOOD PRESSURE

New records in from EVEN WORSE including the AJAX - Demo 7", new GAS RAG 7" and the BLOOD PRESSURE 7". All rippers, maybe even the best 2014 had to offer as far as hardcore is concerned. Also have some stock up for sale but only for the next couple of days!

SALE ON ALL OLD STOCK

Havin' a SALE to clear out a bunch of stock! Got a heap of new stuff coming in (GAS RAG, AJAX, EXTORTION, BLOOD PRESSURE, PISS etc.) so need to make some room. 7"s from $3 and LPs from $10. Just click on the sale option. And don't worry if the shipping prices seem too high, they'll be refunded.
