ETT - 010 - Cold Circuits - s/t EP

Coming Soon!!!




Whatever these Bay Area guys secretly mix in their drinks, it seems to bring out an endless flow of brilliant and catchy, yet distinctive songs – in each of their bands. I'm talking about the rhythm section of Synthetic ID with the same guys of this awesome new San Francisco band! Ok, many bands try to do some kind of post punk stuff these days, but in my opinion the Bay Area knows how to do it best! After Rank//Xerox and Synthetic ID, Cold Circuits is the band to listen to right now! Robert Collins said: "UK post punk meets an angular cousin" and he's totally right. There are similarities to Synthetic ID, even though this band is less focused on the vibe and more on driving the listener. Lazy guitar lines weave in and out of logic, while bass and drums keep the whole thing forward with an inevitably urgency. It sounds excitingly familiar and so new in skills and maturity, that you just can't listen to anything similar elsewhere. What can I say?! Get it or not – this thing will explode, without any doubts!


This Bay Area Maniacs Released one of the best Demo Tapes in 2012 and of course ETT have to ask this Band for a Release and in some weeks the s/t EP will spin on your Record Player. Best Fanzine in the World ( MRR ) reviewed the demo tape like that: "UK post punk meets an angular cousin on this killer demo. There are similarities to Synthetic ID (who share Cold Circuits' rhythym section), but this demo is less focused on the vibe and seems more intent on driving the listener. Lazy guitar lines weave in and out of logic while bass and drums keep straight time forcing the whole thing forward with unwavering urgency. If there's a hit, it's the final track "Easy Opportunities," where they slow the pace just a little and raspy vocals strain to maintain the two word chorus. Awesome, but criminally limited so don't snooze." (Robert Collins)

ETT - 009 - Allvaret - Tänk på döden LP

Coming Soon!!!






If anyone would ask me if I was serious about releasing this record from a totally unknown Swedish band, I would totally say yes. Why is ETT going to release Allvarets debut LP "Tank pa doden"? Not just because Allvaret means "serious" in Swedish, but because this LP is seriously great. Hailing from the Swedish underground punk scene, this catchy phenomenal guitar lines can only be written by Swedish guys and sound so perfectly vintage! Allvaret emerge from a fertile musical ferment to deliver some totally off the hook KBD punk with tunes that will stick in your head after just one song. The guitar sounds so Scandinavian – Masshysteri and The Vicious say Hello. The driving rhythm section with the harmonic drum and bass parts remind me of some kind of early UK street punk, without sounding stupidly Oi! The most important part is the awesome voice of Sushila, with Swedish lyrics matching perfectly together. A bag full of diamonds for sale, even if you don't speak Swedish, this record will make you want to start the kind of dance action you haven't had since that childish days way back then!

ETT 008 - Synthetic Id - Apertures 12" EP

Out Now!!!

There’s a new best band in San Francisco. And this band plays a beautiful cacophony of raw, frenetic guitars, fiercely pounded drums, and jerky yet oddly melodic vocals. Perfect timing and guitar damage reminiscent of the Proletariat underscores a vocal delievery not dissimilar to the Observers but less operatic and more desperate. Synthetic ID sound like Greg Sage, D. Boone, and Colin Newman fabricating the house band for the International Space Station. Or better yet, spending three days in close quarters on an uncharted trek to the Sea of Tranquility. Anxious paranoia dripping from the walls. It's jerky, derailed, and draws heavily from early post-punk, but chugs along at a classic punk tempo, blasting out totally agitated lyrics the whole time. Space madness? Or just a need to escape the surface of this planet, even if it just be through the act of playing two minute punk jams? Either way, it's exciting and different. This record is a tight, fuzzy underground treasure in the waiting.

Track Premiere: Synthetic ID - Pressure Gauge by B. Kruder





Synthetic ID evokes collapsing architecture, mangled pin cushions in undated photographs and above all else, tension. The San Franciscan group’s debut EP was an exercise in straight-ahead punk with a post-punk guitar aesthetic that eschewed heavy-handed pastiche in favor of modern neuroses. Sinuous guitar leads deftly plunge, serrate and splice with insidious resolve while the band asserts mid-tempo conviction and tasteful restraint. Constantly on the brink of a seething barrage, the group retreats into their festering comfort zone, as if unable to cope with the demands of healthy social behavior. To illustrate, Synthetic ID recently performed in a Mission District taco shop and margaritas curdled.

Their debut EP was such a distilled document of sonic maladjustment and bagged-up- but-doin’-damage moodiness that it’s difficult to imagine a more potent offering. Only, Oakland’s 1-2-3-4 Go! Records and Haug's Erste Theke Tonträger is arranging the group’s follow up 12” and judging by this track, Synthetic ID is reacting to their urban locale with more spite, damage and unnerving vitality.






Also check the 1st EP of this unique Band, this Review is the answer if you are asking why:

These three songs have restored my faith in modern punk rock. I had essentially "given up" on most new punk rock a few years ago, but this EP got me pulling out some of my old stuff... Nic Lang chants old-school "oi" style over a driving beat and grinding bass line on White Walls. Between The Lines has a definite post-punk vibe with the same chanting from Nic on the chorus. Every time I play these three songs though, if I am able to keep it turned down at all Throwaway is where I loose all control and either cause hearing damage to myself (with earphones) or scare the neighbors (via home stereo). This may be one of punk rock's all time greatest songs. Yeah that's right, I did just say that. The energy in this song is undeniable. It starts off with a sludgy riff but quickly breaks into a fast paced almost bouncy rhythm with Jake Dudley throwing out some really cool arpeggios and bends on the guitar. Nic amps up the chanting to an impassioned shout on the chorus ("Throwawaaaaay") and there's a breakdown with just Will Litton's drums and Paul Lucich's bass.

ETT 007 - Endless Column 7"

Coming Soon!

Douglas Burns was in the Observers. Douglas Burns wrote the Observers records, so What's Left Now? Besides, Red Dons - Douglas Burns is now in Endless Column. And Endless Column are just like his other Bands - Beautiful!




But how this Band started? Doug told me: "David Wolf (Daylight Robbery/Pedestrians) & I wanted to do a project together. We decided that over the course of last summer we would write and record some songs together before I moved away from Chicago. He had an old 4-track that he was itching to use, so we recorded everything on that. Eric Watts joined the project on drums. At the end of the summer we wanted to play a show. So, Jim McCann (Tyrades) joined us and we recorded this demo and played our one & only show."
So thats it! enjoy this perfect mixture of Red Dons + Daylight Robbery Songwriting, i love it!!!

ETT 006 - Sedatives - Teenage Runaway b/w Fascists 7"

Out Now!!!

Yes it is true! The Ottawa Boys strike back! After having given us the first 7''s and the Debut 12" im so happy that they let me put out this new mind blowing 45! The energetic melodies that blast through every Sedatives Song, are simple and mind blowing. This Canadian punk band from Ottawa has released their self-titled album some days ago, and it may just be one of the best things that has ever been produced in the history of melodic punk rock. The harmonizing vocals of the four Gentleman are the perfect balance of aggression and sincerity while the predominant Bass, the Organ and drumbeats keep the motivating energy that drives their music. These four Canadian gentlemen may be held responsibles for having written one of the best songs in ages with ''Slip away'' but this two Songs are also just A - side Songs! Maybe we should mark both Labels with A - Side. The Sedatives dared to go step further and once more set a landmark in the little mundo punko with this new record that will shake your heart and legs!!! You will never be disappointed with this 7" - believe me!!!

ETT 005 - Vånna Inget - Jag Ska Fly Tills Jag Hittar Hem 7" EP

Out Now!!!

NEW SWEDISH BAND WITH ANXIETY, NOISE AND BEAUTIFUL MELODIES

Vånna Inget is punk with pop melodies and melodic vocals. The inspiration for the album is a jumble of Tant Strul, Pink Champagne, The Go-Go's, old Uggla, Håkan Hellström and Marked Men.

The album "Allvar" is filled with musical spontaneity without studio work with to much choirs and guitars and the new EP will be hold this level. It should sound so sad and vivid as possible. The album was recorded in guitarist Tommy Tift (Sista Sekunden) studio by the band themselves, the EP too. I told you that the new EP is the same level, maybe a little bit more sad and vivid and also amazing!

Everyone in the band come from small places around Småland, Sweden and the country rather than the town that inspired the band to this EP. But everybody in the band has now moved to the big cities, away from the small town small mind syndrome.

Singer Karolina Engdahl sings with a passion of a rare luxury, anxiety squirts out of her jaw. Bass player Johan Ottosson laid his bass with depth and with drummer Andréas Almqvist and Tifts guitar; they receive a carpet of beautiful noise.

Band members play in or have played in such great bands like Sista Sekunden, A Good Deed, The Confession, Speakeasy, Civilisationen, The Part Timers and Morsans Gula Blend.

The band has a sound that Swedish bands like Masshysteri, Knugen Faller, Baboon Show, Invasionen, etc. has conveyed the last ten years. Bands that have given punk a little more melodic vein. Vånna Inget have turned down the distortion and added some more minor chords and vocal harmonies but the intensity, anxiety and the energy is there anyway. Sort of like new wave that came after punk explosion in 1977.

Line up:
Karolina Engdahl - Vocals
Tommy Tift - Guitar
Johan Ottosson - Bass
Andréas Almqvist – Drums

After a great debut LP Vånna Inget are back with a 4 Song EP. The promotion text for the 1st release sounds like this:

To our humble ears, the alloy of Scandinavian melancholy and perfect melodies somehow always seems to work whenever we put on Swedish bands like the BOMBETTES, TERRIBLE FEELINGS, VICIOUS or INVASIONEN. But never has a comparable sound emulgated into what awaits to be discovered inside the blurry cover of this record. The unlocked potential of the small-town blues of Småland and the ardent post-teenage angst bundled in 10 songs that slowly burn a hole into a gray and bland surface. Singer Karolina's crystal clear and intense voice covers a tight texture of melodies that brachiate from hookline to hookline, somehow comparable to the early 80s Californian Punk of THE AVENGERS that meets the more New Wave sound of Swedish Feminist-Agit Punk bands TANT STRUL and PINK CHAMPAGNE. The three slower songs on this LP perfectly fit inside the steady mid-tempo and increase the feeling sadness and anxiety expressed im- and explicitely. A piercing ray of sunlight on a cold autumn day.
This LP has all the hallmarks of being a killer instant classic!!!

So we will see what their EP will bring!

Und ein Review im Plastic Bomb sagt:

Hah ! Hinter dem unscheinbaren Cover und dem Namen VANNA INGET steckt eine fantastische neue Band, die Erinnerungen an MASSHYSTERI, KNUGEN FALLER und die BABOON SHOW wach werden lässt. Die Sängerin hat eine tolle Stimme und die Songs strömen wunderbare Melodien sowie eine Herz erweichende Melancholie aus. Hinzu kommt die wunderbare schwedische Sprache. All das berührt mich, begeistert mich, spielt sich innerhalb von Sekunden in mein Herz. Hier gewinnt nicht der Schnellste, Lauteste, Härteste, sondern der Einklang von Melodie und Melancholie. Das ist Punk mit Herz, mit einem Sinn für Harmonien und Schönheit. Die Bandmitglieder kommen alle vom Land, aus Kleinstädten und nicht aus den größeren Metropolen, was man den Songs auch anhört. Denn hier hat man alle Zeit der Welt. Es ist nichts zu spüren von der Schnellebigkeit einer sich immer rasanter drehenden Welt. Highlights sind für mich die Songs "tickande bomb" und "alla andra dagar". Tolle Platte ! Micha

ETT 004 - Warsong - The Caravan EP 12"

Out Now!!!

Ex Insomnio + Ex No Escape - check out the 1st 12" here. From the hot and corrupt Spain comes this icy wind, Warsong. Born as an Insomnio Spin off, and as a change of ideas, they introduce them selves with a rockier intention and more melodic vocals to create their own way. Warsong inherits from Insomnio the strength of the main guitar and the way of working. The Caravan e.p. and their previous Lp Ancient times are entirely recorded at their rehearsal place by their guitar player, José López. This time the feeling of maturity in the sound comes from Hajji Husayn mastering The Caravan at North London Bomb Factory with astonishing results.

Because I hate to write promotion Stuff, I asked my friend Kalle Stille if he would write me a short review of this new 12" EP and of course Kalle write a Review, because he is a Record Freak since a long time and he love to get a free Record from me, haha! Read it here:




WARSONG - The Caravan EP


Here we go, from the ashes of INSOMNIO and NO ESCAPE comes WARSONG with their second release after their impressive "Ancient times" debut-LP. Five songs: all killer no filler (four original songs plus a Wipers song that hasn't been covered to death - especially not in Spain). On a good day, this record will make out an instant classic, on a bad day you'll have to play it twice to discover the depth and richness of this record, but you definitely won't sell it to anyone else again, because real good records stay forever. If you want to describe the sound of WARSONG, put together a band with a young Clif Hanger (The Freeze) fronting an all star band with the best ingredients from DAG NASTY, ALL, THE WIPERS and the mighty ADOLESCENTS. Your wettest dreams come true, if their subject is pure melodic hardcore-punk in classic 80s style. The more often you play this record the bigger it grows ... and it's damn huge right now.

If you trust a over 40 Year Old Punk Rock Nerd, buy this Record or let it be!!!! Again Mastered by genius Hajji Husayn from the awesome Red Dons

ETT 003 - No More Art - Peripeteia b/w Evil Eyes 7"

Out Now!!!

The next Release on Erste Theke is ready! No More Art is comprised of people from rather dissimilar backgrounds in music, but the elements are easy enough to lay out. There are the surf-drenched guitars, the complementary female vocals, and the rock ‘n’ roll frenzy of X (Los Angeles), some of what has been brewing in Denmark and Sweden over the last decades with bands like MASSHYSTERI / VICIOUS, and NO HOPE FOR THE KIDS, but also with lots of melody and leads that is reminiscent of 80's LA bands like SOCIAL DISTORTION and ADOLESCENTS, but with a unique sound of their own as well. Lead singer Milo has been paying her dues for some years now as a singer song writer in her own solo project ROSIE TIE. Drummer Juan Miguel has been busy on the heavier side of music, playing guitar in bands like LOS DOLARES, ETACARINAE, and PELIGRO!, in Barcelona over the past decade. Will has also done time in many bands over the past decade with groups BORN/DEAD, DESOLATION, SUICIDE BOMB, DOPECHARGE, and most recently Portland's RED DONS. Recorded by Dennis Rux at Yeah Yeah Yeah Studios and mastered by RED DONS Hajji Husayn in a 80s sound that made you KBD fans out there forget the modern world. Enjoy the first No More Art songs!

ETT 002 - Terrible Feelings - Blank Heads EP

BLACK ANGST RIDDEN POWER-POP

OUT NOW!!!

Info: TERRIBLE FEELINGS are four twenty-somethings from Sweden: Manuela sings, Anton plays guitar and sings, Willy plays bass and Andy plays drums. Together they play absolutely fantastic black angst-ridden power-pop and this is their 3rd - EP ( The 4 - songs from the demo in a "new outfit" aka new recorded and mixed etc. ! ) Members of the TERRIBLE FEELINGS play/have played in various other bands and projects, some very cool, some not even good. The hometown of the TERRIBLE FEELINGS is Malmö, a world-famous city for cool Punkrock- and Hardcore-bands like FY FAN, SKITKIDS, HERÄTYS, HÅRDA TIDER, SISTA SEKUNDEN (Andy plays the guitar), DIPPER and SLÖA KNIVAR. The band TERRIBLE FEELINGS formed in the fall of 2009, and their basic impetus was to do something that was thoroughly thought through and set them apart from other punk bands in their town. The band once described their sound as »sorta DISCHARGE meets LOST SOUNDS mixed with surf-guitars and 80ies Swedish punkrock. Or something. It's very melodic.« Rob Seaton from Canada voted them »AMAZING!!!« when his band STATUES shared stage with them in Malmö. Guess what. .. he’s right!

ETT 001 Derby Dolls - Extreme Probleme 12"

20 copies left!!!

Info:

Hätte auch in den 80ern auf No Fun Records raus kommen können. Irgendwo zwischen Hans - A - Plast und den Buzzcocks - 77er Punk und ner Menge modernem Powerpop...

oder in English

After two split EPs here's finally a full length album from Tübingen's 4 head Powerpop Combo. 8 Songs between Buzzcocks and Hans-A-Plast, sounding like the No Fun Records stuff from the early 1980s. The mixed German/English lyrics shuttle between life doubts, adapted subjects and people on the go, always with an irrestistible and beat-twitching tendency to drag you to the dancefloor. You can describe Derby Dolls as "a pleasant surprise" with "a weighty female lead vocal and wickedly tight bass playing". Now come and check it out yourself! ( Review by Sabine Haydl )

PUNK/NDW. After 2 split 7"s here's finally a full-length album from Tübingen's 4 head power-pop-punk and NDW combo DERBY DOLLS. "extreme probleme" contains 10 songs in the vein of NICHTS, HANS-A-PLAST, IDEAL, NEONBABIES and BUZZCOCKS. They're sounding like the good old '80s releases on No Fun and Schallmauer Records with a modern, fresh hint. The upfronted female lead vocal totally reminds of NICHTS singer Andrea Mothes. Limited edition of 300, handnumbered copies on black vinyl. ( Review by Per Koro Records )

The Derby Dolls - Extreme Probleme 12" is almost sold out! Just 40 copies left. Be smart be quick and get one of the last copies. Why? Here is the MRR Review:

Neue Deutsche Welle, meet snotty Midwestern Garage Punk. Derby Dolls manage to take the instantly addictive sounds of bands like the SOVIETTES and infuse them with the dance friendly hooks of german new wave acts like EXTRABREIT and IDEAL. Maybe it`s the other way around, but not matter which came first in this equation, the result is brilliantly written and undeniably good. Female vocals and smart lyrics sit on top of jangling aggressive guitars and a meaty rhythm section. This might be the biggest surprise of the month, a must for fans of HANS A PLAST and the BOMBETTES alike ( WN ) ( Erste Theke Tonträger ).


And a Review from the German Trust Fanzine ( Derby Dolls - extreme Probleme 12" )

Das Artwork sieht schlimm aus. Ohne Erwartungen höre ich rein und bin ziemlich schnell begeistert vom "female fronted punkrock" der Derby Dolls. Der zynische Unterton, die teils deutschen Texte und die Stimme der Sängerin referenzieren deutlich auf Hans-A-Plast. Die Powerpop - Melodien hätten von den frühen Briefs stammen können und der teils mehrstimmige Gesang bei den Refrains wurde bereits von schwedischen Bands wie Ebba Grön, Strebers oder Masshysteri praktiziert. Das Tempo der Songs idt auch eher mit den letzteren zu Vergleichen. Mit 45 RPM ist es dann aber eher eine Kurzspieplatte geworden. Ich wüsste gerne mehr über die mysteriöse Band, die ihre Infos peinlichst genau zurückhält. Für mich die Punkrockentdeckung der letzten Monate! ( benni ) ( Erste Theke Tonträger )

Reviews:

So, diese Platte liegt auf dem abzuarbeitenden Stapel der Besprechungen nun auch schon ein paar Tage und wurde, immer wenn sie eigentlich an der Reihe war, von mir wieder nach unten geschoben. Die Gründe hierfür lagen eindeutig beim Cover, welches auf mich schlichtweg uninteressant wirkte und was ich auch gleich mal auf die Musik projizierte. Ein Irrtum, wie sich jetzt herausstellte.
Als die Nadel das Vinyl berührte und durch die Rillen glitt, fühlte ich mich binnen kürzester Zeit zurück in die Vergangenheit versetzt. Ist das ne´ Reunion von HANS-A-PLAST oder IDEAL? Nee, dass sind die DERBY DOLLS und die haben ihre erste Langspielplatte mit 10 Old School Punk Stücken bestückt, die stark von der Neuen Deutschen Welle (kurz NDW) beeinflusst wurden… und das obwohl die englischsprachigen Songs mit 6:4 gegen die deutschsprachigen gewonnen haben. Die Texte sind klischeefrei, etwas verrückt und alles andere als gewöhnlich… und nachzulesen im kleinen, wirklich kleinen, Textheft. Keine halbgaren oder schwächeren Stücke, sondern ein durchweg angenehm nostalgisches und gutes Niveau was hier gehalten wird, nicht zuletzt durch die prägnante weibliche Stimme, die bei den DERBY DOLLS am Mikro zu Hause ist.
Das gute Stück ist auf 300 Langrillen limitiert, deshalb sollte sich rangehalten werden, denn an wem diese Tübinger Punkband vorbeigeht, der hat vielleicht wirklich bald extreme Probleme, spätestens nämlich dann, wenn irgendwann erkannt wird, was hiermit verpasst wurde. Leute, das ist ne´ echt großartige Platte! Ich versprech´s euch! ( Review by Steff / Ugly Punk )




Fähiger NDW beeinflusster Punk aus Tübingen mit 77er Englandkante inklusive einiger musikalischer Anleihen aus dem „good old“ Amerika der Reagan-Ära. Kapellen wie NICHTS, HANS-A-PLAST, FRED BANANA COMBO, KIDS, BUZZCOCKS, VKTMS und AVENGERS sind in den heimischen Musikanlagen der DERBY DOLLS wahrscheinlich keine Unbekannten. Jüngeren Lesern, welche noch nicht kurz vorm Anfangsstadium der Altersinkontinenz und oder ihrer Einweisung ins Pflegeheim stehen, würde ich das ganze als gelungene Mischung aus SUPABOND, STATTMATRATZEN, SHOCKS und den CUTE LEPERS beschreiben. Der ausdrucksstarke, weibliche Gesang, gefällt ebenso wie die gelegentlich auch deutschen Texte. Gut tanzbare rundum gelungene, bisweilen auch recht (Power)poppige Angelegenheit. Nur das Cover ist genretypisch leider ziemlich unspektakulär geraten. Sieht vom Cover verdächtig nach einer dieser Platten aus, welche zwar zu unrecht, aber nichtsdestotrotz dennoch in jeder Second Hand Kiste dieses Planeten mindestens einmal vertreten ist (ein Paradebeispiel für diese Art von Platten ist beispielsweise die FISCHER Z–„Red Skies Over Paradise“ LP ( Review by Basti / Plastic Bomb )

ETT 000 Hysterese - Demo Tape

SOLD OUT!!!


Info:


Newest punkgroup from the german south with (ex) members of LIGHTS OUT, DERBY DOLLS or RIOT BRIGADE with their first demo tape on Yakuzzi Tapes. What to expect? Experimental portland styled hardcore punk, intensive, melodic, dodgy. The straight forward male front shouting combined with the somehow poppy melodies of the female singing part is unbelievable earcanding and another cause, that makes it nearly impossible for me to give relevant directions, so better give it a try without knowing, for whose fans this might be interesting. Comes along in a deluxe silkscreened cardboard slipcase, handnumbered and limited to just 99! ( Review by Maz ).

Neueste Punkband aus dem goldenen Süden mit Leuten von LIGHTS OUT, DERBY DOLLS oder RIOT BRIGADE mit ihrem ersten Demotape auf Yakuzzi! Experimenteller Portland styled Hardcore Punk, intensiv, melodisch, vertrackt. Der zweistimmige Gesang, der zwischen poppig melodisch und manisch aggressiv wechselt oder gleichzeitig begleitet, ist ein weiterer Faktor, der es mir unmöglich macht, irgendwelche Bandvergleiche zu ziehen, deshalb hört am besten selbst mal rein. Kommt im Deluxe Siebdruck Kartonschuber, handnummeriert und limitiert auf nur 99 Stück. ( Review von Maz )

And a review from the German Trust Magazine (Hysterese Demo Tape):

Wow, gleich der erste Song haut mich einfach aus den Socken! "headlocked when I come around, that`s such an akward pressure, forced to some trojan properties", ein Refrain mit male/female Gesang, der mich sofort begeistert. Leider erfährt man nicht viel über die Band, ihr erstes Konzert gaben sie im Epplehaus in Tübingen, schätze also, sie kommen aus der Gegend. Haben ex Mitglieder von Lights Out!, Riot Brigade und Derby Dolls. Musikalisch hätte ich eher auf Schweden als auf Baden / Schwaben getippt. Vier - Song - Tape, das einfach schönen schnellen, aggressiven Punkrock beinhaltet und dennoch hochmelodisch bleibt. Macht auf jeden Fall Lust auf mehr! Das auf 99 Tapes limitierte Kleinod dürfte schnell weg sein, bitte ranhalten. ( micha ) ( Erste Theke Tonträger / Yakuzzi Tapes )
