ISMATIC GURU - IV CSSF 031
Part 4 of the ongoing recording project between John Toohill (Science Man) and Bran Schlia (Helmsley). A wildly dense and completely off-leash scrambled-egg, idiot-prog punk adventure. Groovy, freaked out new wave/post-punk littered with psychedelic flashes, punctuated by snarky lyrics about intentionally over inflating a tire, playing in the dirt, a robotic peeping tom, growing some plants, and the thrill of trying something new.

B&W CAT / B&W CAKE - S/T LPSF 030
The band that takes its name from an obscure line in a classic horror flick (1977’s The Sentinel) lives up to its namesake. I give you Buffalo, NY’s Black and White Cat / Black and White Cake. Twin guitar attack, distorted bass, moody synths, icy mechanical drums, and baritone vocals all tightly stacked on top of each other then pushed into the red. Paranoid and claustrophobic as all things dark, goth, and post-punk should be.

MOON PEOPLE - LUNAR SECRETS CSSF 029
Instrumental surf music rarely sees broad innovations this genre-defying, but the extensive use of a Casio DG-1 to replace all electric guitar and bass parts is exactly that— a giant expansion in what can be defined as surf. By using a guitar-shaped synthesizer, Moon People have made a fully digital, synthesized album that still retains the voicings, movements, and essence of surf while completely reshaping the textures and tones. While The Hamiltones In Space explored the addition of new instruments to expand on their sound, Moon People utterly destroy convention, leaving their listeners with a sound akin to if Dick Dale had been programmed by Giorgio Moroder, Brian Eno, or The Human League.

NIGHT SLAVES - ACCELERATION PROSE CSSF 028
David Kane and John Toohill's ever evolving sonic wasteland returns with 4 dystopian dance floor crashers. Kane’s dark, blown-out synths burn their way down the lost desert highways of the world built upon Toohill’s fatal lyrics.

OLEXI - FACTUS cassetteSF 027
A year since the original creation of the House EP, Olexi has re-analyzed what he loved with ambience and electronica. He found himself going back to deep origins of ambient electronics with the minimalist master works of Terry Riley, Philip Glass, and Steve Reich. The tracks of this album are all nods to their work in different ways from the freely improvised loops of "In Key" to the keys playing in and out of sync with "In Phase"."

BRUTE SPRING - TURQUOISE WINDOW LPSF 026
The acidic, dystopian, synth driven, post-punk of BRUTE SPRING returns with an explosive collection of songs from the void. Drawing from the percussive psychedelia of kraut rock, the early waves of industrial/synth-punk, à la Throbbing Gristle or Suicide, and with a sharp ear for movements in the modern underground, TURQUOISE WINDOW is a defiantly original and undeniably danceable journey full of hooks and fearless twists into the gritty unknown.

THE HAMILTONES - IN SPACE LP SF 021 / SF 022 (Moon People 7")
THE HAMILTONES are back with a new high concept surf record, IN SPACE. It serves as the soundtrack to an epic space opera, borrowing familiar themes and textures from mid-century sci-fi and superimposing them onto thoroughly modern surf rock. Layers of vocal ooos and aaas, lush strings, horns, space-age synthesizers, and even a theremin color their new opus. The result is a record that has just as much in common with John Williams, Ennio Morricone, and John Carpenter as it does with Dick Dale or The Ventures. IN SPACE is unflinchingly audacious, daring to boldly go where no surf band has gone before. The experience is fully immersive, as the 12” record comes with a companion 7” E.P. of music by the mysterious Moon People, and a 6 page insert spelling out the plot of the fictitious film to which In Space serves as the soundtrack.

OLEXI - HOUSE Cassette SF 019
House is an EP filled 70s inspired electronic ambient jams that harken back to the days of towering analog synthesizers and drug induced electronic experimentation. These lush yet simple compositions take the work of Brian Eno and Mort Garson, fuses it with Krautrock artists like Manuel Göttsching and Harmonia, and sprinkles a little Ryuichi Sakamoto in the mix. As a whole, the EP sounds like the soundtrack to a forgotten 80s independent film. A tale of turbulent winters in the Northeast of America starring some celebrity who wanted to explore their artistry.

RADIATION RISKS - WELCOME TO BAD BOY CITY 7"SF 017
After a More Power Tapes Demo (S/T), a Lumpy Records 7” (Goodbye Money), a Feral Kid Records Flexi (Headless Horseman), a self-released LP (Strawberry Quick), and hundreds of tour dates across North and South America between 2016-2018 - Radiation Risks stopped.

I now give to you the final installment of the Radiation Risks discography. A 7” containing the seven best. Maximum achievement of clean guitar hardcore blended with proto-punk, garage-psych grooves. Seldom taking the foot off the gas and breaking for the silly stuff in it’s 11 min run. A cleaner, yet darker, headier record. Songs about non-stop touring, teasing death, adventure, excess, stealing flowers, and meeting complete fucking idiots. The band we always wanted to be. Limited to 100x

Inspired by the 1926 Japanese silent film "A Page of Madness” NIGHT SLAVES teamed up with Justin Rowland to write an entirely new + original score for the film and then performed it LIVE on Halloween 2019. These are two excerpts from that score which were recorded shortly after the performance. More akin to 70’s electro-kraut rock and Italian horror soundtracks with a punk ethos than the traditional score, these songs stand alone as well as function as love letters to the film.

THE HAMILTONES - DRACULA INVITATIONAL 1791 LPSF 009
You are about to hear the score of the most ridiculous, b-movie Dracula film no one has ever seen (and may not even really exist). The Hamiltones debut LP is an instrumental, surf-punk adventure that has as much in common with Ennio Morricone and The Cramps as it does with the Ventures. Nimble guitars, lurking bass, swirling organs, and eerie violin create a sound that can transform from uptempo and raucous to dark and baroque, harkening back to an era when ghouls lurked in every Eastern European forest.
