CLEAR HISTORY- Bad Advice Good People - 12"+MP3 - UPSET THE RHYTHM

click to enlarge Debut-vinyl with 6 songs by this Post Punk trio from Berlin (incl. the former drummer of DROPOUT PATROL). Actually reminding of the early 80s "Twee Pop" era, with influences from the SLITS and KLEENEX, to SLEATER-KINNEY and FUGAZI. Minimalistically structured, a reduced instrumenation, but on full-energy level, and with polyphonic and harmonic vocals. Pressed on heavy black 180g-vinyl, with lyric-sheet and download-code included. https://clearhistoryband.bandcamp.com/album/bad-advice-good-people

New Release! ES- Fantasy - 7"COL. - UPSET THE RHYTHM

click to enlarge New 4 Song-EP, limited edition on neon-blue vinyl. Four ladies from London playing mutant Synth-Punk, pushed by a powerful bass. A sound that could be filed in between PYLON, X-MAL DEUTSCHLAND and Iceland's KUKL, all delivered with a strong energy and conviction.

HISTORICALLY FUCKED- The Mule Peasants Revolt - LP - UPSET THE RHYTHM

click to enlarge British band creating free-form experimental and frenzied eruptive tracks. Guitar, bass and drums seem to be used with an improvisational approach. On top the vocals, mostly from singer Greta Buitkute, are used as well like an instrument, howling and shouting, grunting and screaming. Reminds me a lot of the PLASTIC ONO BAND and Arto Lindsay's DNA. LP comes with insert and download-code included.

Limited edition on blue vinyl. https://kaputt1.bandcamp.com/album/movement-now-another-war-talk

NAKED ROOMMATE- Do The Duvet - LP(COL.) - UPSET THE RHYTHM

click to enlarge Limited edition on citron-yellow heavy 180g-vinyl, with insert and download-code included. Oakland's Post-Punk supergroup THE WORLD have split, but members Amber Sorreno and Andy Jordan (aka Human) have formed this new outfit, including Alejandra Alcala of PREENING, and it sounds even better than the World. Otherworldly, so to say. 10 tracks of infectiously cool and dub-infused No Wave with funky danceable rhythms. https://nakedroommate.bandcamp.com/album/do-the-duvet

RATTLE- s/t - LP(COL.) - UPSET THE RHYTHM

click to enlarge Limited edition on clear vinyl, printed innersleeve and download-code included. RATTLE from the UK are a female duo, Katharine Brown and Theresa Wrigley, focussing almost only on the use of drums, vocals, percussive effects and more drums. So in each and every aspect, instantly this makes think of the legendary NOH MERCY! And yes, yes, yes, there are similarities (of course), even though RATTLE are not as excessivelly raging as NOH MERCY WERE... but being equally as highly inventive with a totally stripped-down minimalistic approach. http://rattleon.bandcamp.com/

RATTLE- Sequence - LP - UPSET THE RHYTHM

click to enlarge SPECIAL OFFER! Limited edition on thick 180g-vinyl, with printed innersleeve and download-code included. The 2nd album by this drumming duo from Nottingham/UK. And it's amazing what these two ladies are achieving with such a minimalistic line-up, two drum-sets and occasional vocals. The LP contains 4 extensively long explorations in rhythm, varying percussive patterns with interchanging tensions. Maybe this could be reminiscent of CAN, but there's really noone else and nothing like RATTLE...

click to enlarge New and third full album by London based Punk band. 12 tracks coming like a hurricane of non-stop Post-Punk crushers.

LP pressed on heavy 180g-vinyl, comes with lyric-sheet and download-code included! https://saunayouth.bandcamp.com/album/deaths

SCREENSAVER- Expressions Of Interest - LP - UPSET THE RHYTHM

click to enlarge UK/Euro pressing of the album by this Australian band, including Chris Stephenson, former guitarist of SPRAY PAINT, and Krystal Maynard (ex BAD VISION) on vocals. The 10 tracks are paying homage to the late 70s/early 80s New Wave and dark Post-Punk, taking their inspiration from bands like the BANSHEES, the CURE, and JOY DIVISION/NEW ORDER. Gripping vocals, dissonant guitar, melodic basslines, waves of synths and motorik drumming, combined to a dystopian yet danceable sound. Each one out of the ten songs comes with a catchy hit-appeal, and the LP comes with a printed innersleeve and download-code included.

New Release! TERRY- Call Me Terry - LP - UPSET THE RHYTHM

click to enlarge New album (10 songs) by this Australian band, limited edition on RED 180g-vinyl, with download-code included. Their fourth album is another collection of fuzzy Garage-Pop pearls, with the band's typical harmonic polyphonic singing, sharp guitars, rolling bass and drums. And on top here their songs are crowned with piano, horns and strings arrangements. Pretty beautiful. https://terryhq.bandcamp.com/album/call-me-terry
