Les Claypool's Duo De Twang - Four Foot Shack
How "deconstructed" can a group get? How about just one vocal, one bass, one guitar, and a basic beat supplied by stomping on a mini-tambourine-doohickey? That's exactly what everyone's favorite storyteller/narrator, Les Claypool, is incorporating in his new band, Duo de Twang. While Les is still pulling double duty with the Primus lads, he has also found the time to unite with his old buddy, Bryan Kehoe, who fans will recognize from several past Claypool projects, and also as one of the main actors from Les' hilarious jam band mockumentary, 'Electric Apricot: Quest for Festeroo.' But unlike Primus, DDT focuses more on the Americana/rootsy side of things - as heard throughout the band's debut recording Four Foot Shack

PILGRIM: Rhode Island Doom Bringers To Release Sophomore Full-Length
Wizards and warriors, rejoice, for the chosen one has returned! The Misery Wizard lives!
Since the early 2012 unveiling of their debut sonic behemoth "MISERY WIZARD", fans and critics alike have patiently yet anxiously awaited the second chapter in the ongoing legacy of the almighty PILGRIM, a three-piece doom metal band from Rhode Island, USA.
Their first release shook the doom metal underground to its core, making a loud, in your face effort to bring doom metal back to its most minimalist and archaic roots, restoring it to its former glory. Their critical success, paired with their controversial interviews and emotionally draining live performances have lead PILGRIM to excellence, traversing the globe performing sold-out shows in multiple countries and playing festivals alongside some of the biggest names in their genre. Two years later, the fabled outfit has returned with a brand new record, the highly anticipated next installment of their aural adventure "PILGRIM II: VOID WORSHIP."
PILGRIM returns more powerful than ever, wielding eight new epic tracks laden with tales of sword and sorcery, death, doom and destruction. Recorded at Moonlight Mile Recording by audio mastermind Mike Moebius, II: VOID WORSHIP delivers an absolutely unrivaled quality of tone and heaviness that many critics felt their original effort MISERY WIZARD had lacked. The band takes a new approach to their song writing, replacing meditated, repetitive hypnosis-inducing dirges with more calculated and demented powerhouse riffs. They build, shape, and climb into frenzied climaxes and fade into sweet sonic releases, molding perfectly crafted rock songs into twisting spires of evil doom metal masterpieces. It is obvious that PILGRIM has matured, both musically and as individuals, in their past two years of global conquest.

THE AFGHAN WHIGS - BLACK LOVE
Where some artists write from the head and others from the heart, Whigs' songwriter/front man Greg Dulli writes from the groin. His lyrics are filled with dark images of romantic obsession. Perhaps no other band can play with such restraint, letting musical tension build until it can do nothing other than explode. Dulli in his finest voice can move from desperate screams to a quiet sinister crooning at the turn of a chord.
Black Love was released in 1996 and further built on their trademark mix of Grunge, Indie Rock, Soul and Blues. The band lay out dark, raw Grungy grooves for Dulli to sing his twisted lyrics to; a perfect match. Now available on vinyl for the first time since 1996!
HOWLIN' WOLF - MEMPHIS DAYS VOL.2
Feast your ears with raw and dirty Blues from one of the most influential Blues musicians that ever walked the planet.
The second volume in the Memphis Days series collects all the known Memphis recordings that were either issued or originally offered to Chess Records. As such, it stands as a marvelous collection of Wolf's early 78s for that label. But what truly puts it over the top is the added bonus of a newly discovered acetate featuring several unissued versions of "How Many More Years" and "Baby Ride With Me (Riding in the Moonlight)". The great sound and the performances make it a must-have.
SICK OF IT ALL- SCRATCH THE SURFACE
Their first major label release Scratch The Surface (1994) brought mainstream attention toward New York's hardest working Hardcore bands Sick Of It All. Established as THE seminal Hardcore band combining furious Punk Rock with enticing live shows, they conquered stages all over the world, quickly becoming the headlining attraction on many Rock festivals and hardcore shows.
Guitarist Pete Koller's furious riffing and energetic stage antics, Lou Koller's distinctive voice and charisma, drummer Armand Majidi and bassist Craig Setari turned New York Hardcore into the undisputed flag bearer of the worldwide Hardcore movement.
Promoted with videos for "Step Down" and "Scratch The Surface", the album made a quick impact and has since become a staple in every hardcore kid's album collection. To celebrate this vinyl reissue, we're numbering the first 1500 copies and press 'em on fiery yellow/red vinyl! To top things off, we've included the bonus track "Straight Ahead."
YELLO - ONE SECOND
Dieter Meier, heir turned conceptual artist, joined Boris Blank to form the electronic synth group Yello in the late '70s. Combining samples and beats with Meier's deep and distinctive voice, Yello became experts in combining the suave with the eclectic.
One Second was their 5th album, released in 1987. Highlight on the album are the B-side's opener "The Rhythm Divine" which features Shirley Bassey on vocals, and "Goldrush" which had a marvelous video that got heavy rotation on the music television networks.
This is the first reissue of One Second since its original release. To celebrate its rerelease, we've remastered the album to good effect and included the bonus track "L'Hôtel."
