Artist: 16 HORSEPOWER Title: Hoarse
Format: CD Catalog
Number:
VIRUS346CD
Price: $13.00 Label: Alternative Tentacles
Release
Date:
1/3/06
Previously very hard to find, Hoarse contains 16 HORSEPOWER live tracks from Denver in 1998, that were first intended as a bootleg, then released briefly on Checkered Past as an official live album after the powers that be heard how good it is.

The band would become a four piece, more electric, more rock at times, and the reigning masters of heavy without being heavy in the metal or punk sense of the word. Here are eight of their original favorites, plus three unique takes on songs by JOY DIVISION, CREEDENCE and GUN CLUB.

It could be argued that the voice, vibe and vision of David Eugene Edwards tapped an even deeper vein than Jeffrey Lee Pierce himself. Only instead of a hellhound on his trail, David's went straight to god. Long sought-after by rabid and diverse 16 HP fans everywhere, Hoarse finds a steady and permanent home at last on Alternative Tentacles Records.

Artist: 16 HORSEPOWER Title: Live
Format: 2xDVD Catalog
Number:
VIRUS355DVD
Price: $17.50 Label: Alternative Tentacles
Release
Date:
5/15/06
At last, a stunning double DVD set of one of the most seminal live bands of recent years. The power and presence of 16 HORSEPOWER onstage are captured beautifully, as close to "you had to have been there" as the medium will allow. Disc one is a multi-camera shoot for Belgian television in 2002. Many Secret South and Folklore songs are here, performed by a five-piece lineup including John Rumley, on loan from SLIM CESSNA'S AUTO CLUB. Disc two features an early three-piece lineup live in Germany in 1996 post-Sackcloth And Ashes, plus rehearsal footage from Denver, impressions from their last US tour, and finally what would turn out to be their last concert ever in Antwerp, Belgium on July 17, 2004. In the US, 16 HORSEPOWER Live DVD has only been available as an import on Glitterhouse Records from Germany. Now, it's available as a domestic US release on Alternative Tentacles (available in all territories except Europe). In many ways, the granddaddy of Denver's world-renowned alt country/folk/roots scene, 16 HORSEPOWER broke first and went further than any of the stellar Denver bands so far, before officially dissolving early last year. With no Marshall stacks to be found, 16 HORSEPOWER used mainly acoustic and antique instruments to whip up some of the most powerful, atmospheric and emotional music any band ever made. Lead vocalist and mainspring David Eugene Edwards' sheer presence commands any room, from local tavern to large European concert hall, without ever leaving his stool--using banjo bandoneon, and paint-peeling slide guitar in ways no one else ever tried before.

Artist: 16 HORSEPOWER Title: Live March 2001
Format: 2xCD Catalog
Number:
VIRUS384CD
Price: $16.00 Label: Alternative Tentacles
Release
Date:
4/28/08
***Despite their official dissolution a few years ago, 16 Horsepower casts a long shadow that colors the gothic Americana genre today. Ex-members' bands (Woven Hand, Lilium, etc.) are engaging and critically lauded, but the demand for posthumous 16 Horsepower releases never seems to cease. Live March 2001 is a live recording of one of 16 Horsepower's classic, best recorded shows, released in North America on Alternative Tentacles and on Glitterhouse in Europe.

While live albums are often fodder for completists, 16 Horsepower's intoxicating material becomes even more potent on stage, making 16 Horsepower Live a must-have release. Their instrumentation transforms the usually lighthearted banjo and squeezebox into the loneliest choir that accompanies the smoldering voice of David Eugene Edwards. Often likened to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, 16 Horsepower definitely has that laudanum-soaked aura, but is firmly rooted in Americana. Unlike their contemporaries, however, they aim beyond popular music in the key of sad and delve right into the human condition for something weighty and substantial. The way 16 Horsepower pours themselves into writing and performing, Live March 2001, the third installation of their live material, will surely be welcomed with open arms, not with snipes about bludgeoning dead equines.

Throughout their eight-year existence, AKIMBO has built layers upon layers to their fortress of rock, buttressed by a string of releases, culminating in their fifth album and Alternative Tentacles debut, Forging Steel and Laying Stone. AKIMBO, based in Seattle, features former members of the TIGHT BROS FROM WAY BACK WHEN (Kill Rock Stars) and HOMO ERADICUS (Rock and Role Play). Their pedigree of straight-up rock colliding with virile hardcore adds up to an exciting hybrid reminiscent of DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, ZENI GEVA, JESUS LIZARD, MASTODON and fellow Northwesterners THE MELVINS. Forging Steel and Laying Stone is a twelve-song epic that not only justifies AKIMBO's dominance over Northwest rock/hardcore, but also the expanding reach of their conquest. Like some rock-n-roll heathens intent on gathering cities and scenes under their rule, AKIMBO tours relentlessly, and with a solid album behind them, it shouldn't be much longer 'til their name is uttered with reverence tinged with fear.

Artist: AKIMBO Title: Harshing Your Mellow
Format: CD Catalog
Number:
VIRUS369CD
Price: $13.00 Label: Alternative Tentacles
Release
Date:
3/5/07
After being out of print for years, early 2007 brings the re-release of AT touring machine AKIMBO's debut release Harshing Your Mellow. Released in 2001 on start-up label Amalagate Records, this is the original album that got AKIMBO moving like a pissed-off snowball.

All original 10 songs are here, plus an additional scorching cover of "Vertigo" by LA punk legends SCREAMERS, which was recorded in the same session under the mastery of Wes Weresch (C AVERAGE, ENEMYMINE, VALIS).

This vicious, frantic, menacing album captures the band's intense early years before they embraced the more heavy and paced sound that characterized their blistering 2006 Alternative Tentacles debut Forging Steel And Laying Stone. Fans of '80s style driving punk rock (BLACK FLAG, NOMEANSNO, DEAD KENNEDYS) take note, this is the modern album that should have been released on Alternative Tentacles back in the early years. Featuring the original AKIMBO line-up of Jon Weisnewski, Nat Damm and Jared Burke Eglington, the album will be reissued with all new artwork in digipack format.

Artist: AKIMBO Title: Navigating The Bronze
Format: CD Catalog
Number:
VIRUS378CD
Price: $13.00 Label: Alternative Tentacles
Navigating The Bronze, the fifth studio album from Seattle's AKIMBO, is their heaviest and most dynamic release to date. This battle axe of a record was sculpted at Head Bang and Kill Your Mama studio in Louisville, KY with Chris Owens (LORDS, ED GEIN, YOUNG WIDOWS, etc.) whose talent for capturing heavy-hitting bands culminated in ten songs sure to crumble the walls around your stereo.

Navigating The Bronze, AKIMBO's second full-length on Alternative Tentacles (third including the 2007 reissue of Harshing Your Mellow - VIRUS 369) features a revamped lineup with fretboard wizard Aaron Walters on guitar and the familiar cement-tight rhythm section of founding members Nat Damm (drums) and Jon Weisnewski (bass/vocals). In addition to a refreshed guitar sound, Weisnewski's token throat-shredding has evolved into a deeper, more ferocious bellow, lending a primal quality to the vocals as well as fueling the inferno with new melodies.

Tracks like "You Can Hear the Honey", "Wizard Van Wizard" and "Huge Muscles" will sound instantly familiar to the seasoned AKIMBO connoisseur with frantic pacing and more changes than one can count on two hands. However, Navigating The Bronze has its cache of surprises for old fans, including a classical tribute to Bach in "Megatherium" and drummer Nat Damm - a multiple Seattle Weekly Best Drummer nominee - doing his first ever solo track "Roman Coins."

At once the most varied and sonically mature AKIMBO record thus far, Navigating The Bronze is certain to take the band to the next level. AKIMBO will be on the road constantly throughout 2007 and into 2008 supporting Navigating The Bronze.

***In the wake of Crass, the UK birthed a large scene of anarcho-punk bands such as Subhumans, Rudimentary Peni, Flux Of Pink Indians, and, perhaps the best known of all, Amebix. Their seminal Arise album, originally released by Alternative Tentacles in 1985, remains one of the genre's ultimate statements, featuring elements of Black Sabbath, Motorhead, and Venom infused with a healthy dose of early punk's gutter grime and Crass' confrontational imagery.

Amebix became an archetype for the scene, an inspiration to hundreds of bands worldwide including Sepultura (who even had their own album called Arise) and Neurosis, among others. Prior to Arise, Amebix released their early material on Flux Of Pink Indians' Spiderleg imprint. These recordings came in extremely limited runs, and were bootlegged to death in the ensuing years, while the original master tapes languished in lockdown at Southern Studios. The band finally got their tapes back nearly 25 years later, and now the songs are collected officially for the first time.

No Sanctuary: The Spiderleg Recordings gathers the sought-after cult releases No Sanctuary, Who's The Enemy, and Winter. Some of these tunes--such as "Winter" and "No Gods, No Masters"--are undisputed classics in the punk world. Carefully remastered by Jello Biafra and George Horn, these long-worshipped and revered recordings are finally available again from Alternative Tentacles on both CD (in digipak with booklet) and LP with bonus 7-inch. Tons of original artwork was resurrected into a beautifully designed package by long-time Alternative Tentacles collaborator and UK native John Yates.

Alternative Tentacles Records is proud to present the fourth full-length explosion from soul-garage mainstays THE BELLRAYS. The whole punk and soul craze started here. From the moment they burst onto the international stage, the reaction has been "WOW!" Among the early converts were JELLO BIAFRA who came away from his first dose raving, "At last! Picture TINA TURNER or ARETHA FRANKLIN fronting a garage band. I've been waiting for something like this for a long time!" At once sexy and intelligent, passionate and stark, THE BELLRAYS are like a kick in the balls from JAMES BROWN: we like to call their music "Maximum Rock & Soul." Splicing together the Rock (yep, with a capital R) of MC5, THE STOOGES, and THE WHO with the groove of PARLIAMENT, JAMES BROWN, and MILES DAVIS, THE BELLRAYS belt out visceral music that emanates straight from the heart. Lead singer Lisa Kekaula's soulfully electric vocals perfect the gritty bluesmeets- garage instrumentation, upping the emotional power to overdrive. THE BELLRAYS' reputation as a rock-n-soul tour de force precedes them, with a buzz-filled performance at the 1999 SXSW leading to their signing to UK pop svengali Alan McGee's Poptones label. Now, an alliance with the punk stalwart Alternative Tentacles guarantees THE BELLRAYS' place in the pantheon of American rock-n-roll.

***Call the National Weather Center! Jello B.'s controversial Santa Ana blows across the land, fanning the fires of disinterest until they've spread unnoticably out-of-control. Eight very extended tracks spread across three LP's, three CD's, and three Cassettes (which we didn't order), extolling Jello's "takes" on everything from Mumia to Jon Benet.

With Iraq gone to hell in a handbasket, Rome falling at home, and the so-called opposition Democrats "searching for a message" as they throw another election, it's high time for BIAFRA and his merry mouth to tip the cow and set the barn on fire. As always, JELLO whacks the moles wherever he finds them in spoken word extravaganza #8. Buried Iraq facts, vote fraud disease, the Arnold puetsch, the blue state/red state "values" myth, Paris in Abu Ghraib, Satanic Santas, a visit to New Orleans and the return of a strange geometry teacher are all part of the info-tainment stew. Other highlights of In the Grip of Official Treason include an expanded version of the MINISTRY song "Ass Clown" from their latest album Rio Grande Blood plus an all-new update of the Gulf War I primal scream classic "Die for Oil, Sucker." Includes all new art by Winston Smith.

***JELLO BIAFRA follows his critically acclaimed Big Ka-Boom album with another in-depth spoken word explosion. This time in, Jello takes on the current war on terrorism--and how it's gone wrong--and then unloads on the 2000 Florida election. Eyebrows will be raised, conceptions will be altered, and, three discs later, consciousness will be challenged.

***At last the long-rumored tag-team assault on God, Justice and the American Way of Life is set to grind your minds and pummel your craniums. The project hatched when the MELVINS approached JELLO, expressing their outrage at the phony DEAD KENNEDYS cash-in "reunion" tour and proposed their own tour backing JELLO playing all DEAD KENNEDYS songs. JELLO replied that he would rather write new songs and a band was born. The music is heavy and catchy, the sharp tongue and deadly riffs are everywhere, so if you think these guys have finally mellowed with age or matured as artists, think again.

Like WW I had its WW II and the Gulf War had its Iraqi Freedom, you can't expect an event of epic proportions to end without proper follow-through: hence, Alternative Tentacles presents the second installment from JELLO BIAFRA and the MELVINS! "Never Breathe What You Can't See" (2004) fed the world, in alternating fistfuls, the MELVINS' sonic brutality and BIAFRA's erudite lyrical jesting--and the world cried for more. Sieg Howdy features songs recorded during the Never Breathe... sessions, as well as remixes by AL JOURGENSEN (MINISTRY, LARD), DALEK, and DALE CROVER (MELVINS). And you know that BIAFRA, the consummate record collector, would not even think of releasing another record unless it's good enough to stand on its own! It doesn't matter if you missed the boat the first time or if you couldn't get enough, the dominion of JELLO BIAFRA and the MELVINS is far from over: be prepared yet again to let the most twisted minds in rock detonate your mind.

Alternative Tentacles tosses our well-worn thinking cap into the no-holds-barred, no-child-left-behind ring of Educore with Hell Bent for Letters, the latest outing by Seattle's BLOODHAG. Formed in 1995 to stimulate a communion between literacy and punk/metal, BLOODHAG boasts a lineup of noted science fiction authors Prof. J. B. Stratton, Dr. J. M. McNulty, Sir Zachary Orgel and the shadowy occultist Master Brent Carpenter. They created the genre of Edu-core and operate under the motto "Th e faster you go deaf, the more time you have to read."

While BLOODHAG's minute-long songs have the common theme of esteemed authors such as George Orwell and Philip K. Dick--and their live shows include between-song mini-lectures as well as pelting of the audience with books--the music counters with the blunt force of bands like BRUJERIA, PANTERA, SEPULTURA, etc.

It's open to debate whether Edu-core can actually pummel literary history into the hungry minds of head-banging youth, but we certainly can't blame BLOODHAG for trying to bridge the gap between death metal tombs and Pulizerwilling tomes or the beer-soaked venues and pristine libraries (yes, they really tour public libraries).

With their neckties and pocket protectors cocked and loaded, BLOODHAG is ready to stave off the dumbing down of America. So, invest in the leaders of tomorrow! Buy Hell Bent for Letters today!

"Glorifyingly hooked on demonics, they make some of the heaviest, snuggie underwear-soiling sounds this side of SPAZZ and BRUJERIA, while mixing in some Reading Rainbow," -Thrasher Magazine

> "Note to bands: Always play before BLOODHAG, never after them" -Stroker Magazine

"Learning has never hurt this good!" -Portland Mercury
