AZAP

Artist:	MELT-BANANA	Title:	Speak Squeak Creek
Format:	CD	Catalog Number:	AZAP004CD
Price:	$12.00	Label:	Azap
Release Date:	6/18/01
*Produced by Melt-Banana and K. K. Null of Zeni Geva, engineered by Steve Albini, recorded in a Chicago basement, June 1994, the 24-track 30-minute Speak Squeak Creak was originally released in '94 by Null's Nux Organization label, was sporadically available throughout the decade, and is now reissued by the band's own label - on vinyl for the first time. The band for this recording consisted of Yasuko, Agata, Rika mm' and Sudoh.** They have long been admired by everyone - from the highest brows within the ranks of the avant garde such as John Zorn and Mike Patton, to shorts-draggin' munters who need to carry their wallets on a leash - for their riotous cacophony in which free jazz, math-rock, speed-metal, and grindcore all enjoy equal opportunity deployment. Vocalist/principal songwriter Yasuko regards Speak Squeak Creak as the band's "base camp. Everything started from this album. Pop with rhythm and noise," but what she really means is "a cross between God Is My Co-Pilot, Napalm Death, and Love Sculpture's version of Khatchaturian's Sabre Dance." ...Melt-Banana whiplashes through 25 blistering, ear-shattering, no wave-inspired songs, most of which wiz by at less than two minutes...[The] music lurches and flows even as it sizzles in a difficult and corrosive avant-stew... -Option ...This Japanese quartet takes all the scrabbling, atonal dissonance of deconstructionist rock and no wave (DNA, God Is My Co-Pilot, Dawson, Big Flame) and imbues it with the hysteria and acceleration of hardcore and speed-metal... -Alternative Press Produced by K.K. Null, engineered by Steve Albini First time on vinyl Admit it: you're insane with curiosity about what a track called "Chicken Headed Racoon Dog" sounds like 30-second RealAudio excerpts: Tail in Garbage (TEKEPAKE) RRAGG IN x OUT = BUG SCRUBBER So Unfilial Rule DUST HEAD A Teaspoon of SALT STICK OUT Plus 17 other blister-lancing blasts!!

IN THE RED

Artist:	KING BROTHERS	Title:	In The Red
Format:	CD	Catalog Number:	ITR82CD
Price:	$12.00	Label:	In The Red
Release Date:	6/18/01
*Take a minute to think about the state of your existence right now. Everything okay? Complete garbage? Or maybe it's a confusing mess that maybe someday you expect to truly fathom. Whatever you got going, kiss it good-bye. For better or worse, you will soon be able to divide your life in half - a time before you heard the King Brothers,** and after. Oh, it's gonna be different. Fucking different. Count on it. Hailing from Japan and barely out of high school - as if any of us are any different - the King Brothers have already started setting rock'n'roll music and anything else in their path on fire. With releases on a major label in Japan and on Bulb in the United States, this-two-guitars-and-drums trio's In The Red debut crams punk rock, blues and noise into a meat grinder and smears what comes out with lots of nasty screaming. Harsh, wild and in your face - hell, yes - and deliciously mightay, mightay. See them before they all have heart attacks. -Firestarter Magazine, Japan Definitely the best band in the world. -Eric Oblivian, The Oblivians Few live acts make me drop my beer... I lost my Schlitz when I raised my hands in glee at the coccyx-crunching, psycho-blues racket produced by these three polite maniacs from Nishinomiya City, Japan. As I walked in, guitarist Masafumi Koyama and guitarist/vocalist Keizo Matsuo physically threatened the crowd with their equipment. Meanwhile, drummer Jun Fujimoto, who sports hair Don King would envy, and with more bounce, smashed his little kit like he was apt to strangle small animals for the hell of it... King Brothers deliver...ear-splitting death boogie with the added delight of track titles shouted as songs begin. Did I mention that all lyrics are in Japanese? Did I mention that Koyama is also credited with "scream," because on every song he lets loose with blood-curdling, wordless shrieks? I love this shit. It makes me want to throw cinderblocks off my roof. If they want it, King Brothers can have my soul. -Andy Fenwick, Oculus Young, wild, Japanese, on In The Red - like we gotta drive you to soccer practice on this one The industrious Bulb label has done most of the hard work on this one; with a tour, word-of-mouth, and zines rolling over and playing dead, this band is destined for fame and debauchery They're big in Japan 30-second RealAudio excerpts: Oh Shit!

SCRATCH

Artist:	JERK WITH A BOMB	Title:	The Old Noise
Format:	CD	Catalog Number:	SCR35
Price:	$12.00	Label:	Scratch
Release Date:	6/18/01
***Jerk With A Bomb is a two-piece band from Vancouver, BC, Canada. Their debut album, Death To False Metal, thankfully impressed more people than it confused, as it gathered a good dose of positive press, while actually having nothing to do with Metal, false or otherwise. Stylistically this is a songs-first duo, who have elements in their music that could be genre-lized into the camps of folk, country, rock, punk, experimental, jazz, and new wave, but to put it into focus, without using the sadly over used terms "honest" and "heartfelt", Jerk With a Bomb is the product of two unique and talented individuals, one in his thirties, the other his twenties. This second album proudly offers you what they do. Simple as that. There's only room for the two creators here, and besides, as the Skag states, "Trying to find a third member would make it seem like we were trying to sell-out to the people who can't seem to understand why we don't have a bass player-- which coincidentally, is no particular reason." Jerk With A Bomb have toured the USA for 6 weeks straight once before, and a second circle for the summer of 2001 is in the works Another lifetime ago, One Easy Skag was a prominent member of some bands you may have heard of, such as Mission of Christ and Gus. The Silo is actually the current and always drummer of the popular combo Radio Berlin, who have well regarded releases on multiple continents

Artist:	VOTE ROBOT	Title:	In Meorm Na
Format:	CD	Catalog Number:	SCR39
Price:	$12.00	Label:	Scratch
Release Date:	6/18/01
****In Meorm NA* is the debut CD, and second album proper, of Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada's Vote Robot. An electronic/analog music duo comprised of Scott August (aka French Paddleboat) and Kevin Rivard, Vote Robot stand quite defiantly far apart from the endless crop of current electro experimenters in that they work exclusively with tapes, turntables, mixers, and analog synths; creating a subtle, and engulfing flow that is uneasing and pleasing both. No laptops, no sequencers, no Pro-Tools, no drum machines, nothing high tech, or barely even a product of the 1990's present here; yet the music of Vote Robot manages to stand alongside the latest batch of technicians found in the Wire. French Paddleboat is the left field, real beats-and-chimes-catchy project of younger Robot Scott August, who comprises half of Vote Robot. Vote Robot played the Transmissions 003 festival in North Carolina in 2000. A Vote Robot remix LP, Versions, sold out completely and was recently spotted going for $60.00 US on eBay. People who live for Thrill Jockey/Mille Plateaux-label stuff like Oval and other click/glitch gleaners will find salvation here

TIGERBEAT 6

Format:	CD	Catalog Number:	MEOW008CD
Price:	$6.75	Label:	Tigerbeat 6
Release Date:	6/18/01
*BACK IN PRINT!!! A smooth, styled, and attractive collection of rare, out-of-print, and unreleased tuneage from suave electronic glitchman KID 606. Fourteen remastered tracks all seamlessly pieced together in chronological order to create an album that lies somewhere between his alarmingly well-received Soccergirl EP and the more downbeat and somber moments of his recent Down With the Scene LP. Includes the entire GQ on the EQ 10-inch, two unreleased tracks from that session, Kid's side of his Euro tour split single with Lesser, tracks from a Japanese picture disc, and much more. If you have a recent version of iTunes software on your computer, clicking on the iTunes button immediately below should open the iTunes application and take you to the iTunes Music Service page-- where you can listen to samples and buy this album, or individual tracks: Kid606 "GQ On the EQ" (Tigerbeat6) For a complete listing of Midheaven exclusive albums available for download from the iTunes Music service, please visit the Midheaven Mailorder/Revolver USA Downloadables page.**

WEB OF MIMICRY

Artist:	FAXED HEAD	Title:	Chiropractic
Format:	CD	Catalog Number:	WOM007
Price:	$12.00	Label:	Web Of Mimicry
Release Date:	6/18/01
***After a four-year hiatus from rehearsing, recording and performing, during which the members Faxed Head continued mental therapy at the Coalinga Youth Hospice and fought to overcome the ongoing physical and emotional exhaustion wrought by their failed 1991 suicide pact (and a continuing addiction to glue), they reunited to complete this new nine-song album. Their most ambitious recording to date, it is a particularly impressive document, since their advancing mental and physical deterioration leaves them with little ability to play or record. In addition to Chiropractic's startling use of sounds that don't exist in the arsenal of any other death metal outfit on Earth, it also provides perhaps the most intimate glimpse yet of what life is like for these unhappy residents of California's rural Central Valley. Lacking not just physical mobility, but also the quaint mythologies and cultural wellsprings that sustain their Nordic and Austrian counterparts, the Faxed Head are literal prisoners in a wilderness of fast food franchises and corrupt auto mechanics. Accordingly, Chiropractic is an all-grey kaleidoscope of depression, exploitation, sickness, isolation, intolerance, food poisoning, medical malpractice, and agricultural ruin. Early incarnations of the band appeared on limited pressing seven-inch records and compilations, material that was later compiled onto the full-length Uncomfortable But Free CD. After personnel changes, the band recorded the Exhumed at Birth CD (which Metal Maniacs magazine described as "a severely damaged new extreme of metal Ö a sick level of horror and mayhem"). Naturally, a brief tour of Australia followed.
