MASS CULT "THIS AIN'T NO PARADISE" CD - OTH 7104

Melbourne band Mass Cult (formerly Mass Cult Suicide) distill the wild garage sounds of their 2009 self-titled debut to a tight knot of lo-fi indie punk with their second offering This Aint No Paradise. Vocalist/bassist Dan Trolley is joined by a brand new line up featuring guitarist Yolanda De Rose. Mass Cult’s new album is a tight, tough, concise take on contemporary garage pop. This Ain’t No Paradise recalls the pre-grunge sound of mid 80s indie-pop, custom-fit with a high energy Australian garage feel.

What results is a collection of killer lo-fi tunes ranging from badass punk-edged freakouts to smoky organ-driven urban ballads and woozy reverbed-out hangover tunes. This Ain’t No Paradise has a sound that is tight and loose in all the right places, with a feel that evokes images of the blissful blur of crazy weekends and the orange-lit back streets of Melbourne summer nights. Recorded by Jack Farley at Transient Studios and mastered by Casey Rice.

ROCKET TO MEMPHIS "JUNGLE JUICE" CD - OTH 7103

Led by the smokin' Betty Bombshell, and featuring members from seminal Sydney post punk outfit Toys Went Berserk. Rocket To Memphis have been leaving audiences disheveled since they first exploded onto the Perth scene in 2006, with a unique sound and knee-trembling live performances.

Rocket To Memphis's 3rd album Jungle Juice was recorded in New York with HEAVY TRASH guru Matt Verta-Ray and captures their distinctive off-kilter style, with a raw and immediate sound. Jungle rhythms and seductive melodies weave an intoxicated path through 12 swamp-drenched tunes - blending rockabilly, 60s garage and mambo in a witch-doctor's beguiling potion!

THE PAINKILLERS "FEEL THE PAIN" CD - OTH 7102

The Painkillers bring together the battered acoustic guitar of Joe Bludge and the massive rock n roll beats of James Baker. A fixture of the Perth scene, The Painkillers have played more gigs in that city than any other act since forming there in 2005. Their sound began with the common ground between Bludge’s love of proto-rock and Baker’s punk-tinted take on rock n roll, but quickly evolved into a genuine garage audacity that draws upon other influences at whim. They have released two previous albums to substantial acclaim, Drunk on a Train and Love Cancer. Their third album, Feel the Pain, is described by the band as their finest recording yet!

THE LORD ST SOUND "BEHIND THE DUMB" CD - OTH 7101

A new studio album from Johnny Casino with a few friends in tow; Mike Burnham of Tardis studios fame on drums, and Rodney Agar of the Mess Makers on vocals. Johnny Casino is known for delivering classic Detroit styled rock as part of Asteroid B-612, Easy Action and most recently with Johnny Casino and The Secrets. This new album is a slight departure from that trajectory: equal parts garage, rock, plus a little soul thrown into the tribal grooves contained herein.
