"Bob Bert proves he's the coolest thing to come out of New Jersey since the vibrating bed... The perfect party record." - Lydia Lunch Bob is a noise rock icon, and has drummed with Sonic Youth ('82-'85), Pussy Galore (80s), Bewitched, The Chrome Cranks, Lydia Lunch Retrovirus, Wolfmahattan Project (w/ Kid Congo Powers & Mick Collins). For the uninitiated, spending time with Bob Bert is a history class in alternative New York culture. Ask Bob about any cool band, and he probably has a wildly entertaining story! The Heartbreakers with Richard Hell at Max's Kansas City, Bob was there. Swans at CBGB's 1982, Bob was there. The Mothers of Invention at the Fillmore East... you get the gist. Bob Bert has been involved in the New York visual arts and underground music communities since the late 70s. His book, I'm Just The Drummer: My Time Behind Sonic Youth, Pussy Galore, Chrome Cranks, & BB Gun Magazine (Hozac Books) is a testament to his interconnectedness. He is one of the key figures that bridged the gap between No Wave and Noise Rock, forging a drumming style completely his own; as comfortable playing oil cans and sheet metal from the junkyard as he is a full drum kit. Beach Bongo Bloodbath is Bob Bert's first true solo record; a record like you've never heard before. Listening from start to finish is like catching a DJ playing twisted versions of songs with broken turntables in the most unusual club you've ever stepped foot in. Yet, you can't help but groove. "Beach Bongo Bloodbath" (Bert), fits perfectly alongside "Mississippi Queen" (Mountain), "Pablo Picasso" (Modern Lovers), and "Four Enclosed Walls/Banging The Door (PiL)." A longtime friend and fixture of Hoboken's Maxwell scene, it's only right Bar/None release Beach Bongo Bloodbath during it's 40th Anniversary!

50th Anniversary Reissue - The long-lost debut from obscured singer-songwriter Bob Hughes. One of the rarest private-press folk records of the British ‘70s underground.With only two guitars and vocals, ‘My Old Man’ was quickly recorded in August 1976 at Spaceward Studios in Victoria Street in Cambridge. “It was a very basic place,” comments lead guitarist Ron Turner. The recording budget was even more basic and the focus was on first takes. “A mistake meant money,” says Ron. An album that spells authenticity in so many words. These are original songs that were privately pressed and soon became a sought-after collectors item. *** Indie Exclusive ***UPC: 0741869414521Label: Seelie CourtRelease Date: 5.29.26Format: CD

For The Bobby Lees, their fourth album and Epitaph debut New Self marks a thrilling new chapter for the band while doubling down on what’s always made them so magnetic.The Bobby Lees don’t need much in the way of introduction. Within a few seconds of exposure to their furnace-blast live shows or their bottled-lightning studio records, it’s easy to hear why they’ve earned fans in legendary musicians like Iggy Pop, Debbie Harry, and Henry Rollins. They’re as uncompromising in their sound and generous withtheir energy as any of their punk ancestors who first rewrote the rules of engagement back in the 1970s. Led by singer and guitarist Sam Quartin, drummer Macky Bowman, and bassist Kendall Wind, The Bobby Lees bring wildness and danger back into punk rock.
You can hear the band easing into a new confidence - one that’s both looser and more towering - all throughout New Self, from the seething, fiery “Napoleon” to the rambunctious, offbeat take on PJ Harvey’s “50ft Queenie.” This is the sound of a band who’s scrambled over shaky ground only to come back stronger than ever: more confident, more connected, louder and fiercer and secure in their own skin.

Seelie Court - the world's premier label for rare and previously unreleased archive recordings of underground folk, rock, proto-metal, and psychedelic music presents a monster piece of heavy underground rock. Bodkin's classic Scottish private pressing was originally issued in 1972 in an edition of 200 copies, with only the first six featuring a hand-stencilled cover - faithfully reproduced here for the first time. Driven by powerful organ and guitar work and a classic rock vocal in the Paul Rodgers vein, Bodkin stands proudly alongside Dark and Grannie as one of the finest examples of privately pressed heavy prog. Side One features the band's extended suite "Three Days After Death." This new fully authorised release, created with full participation from the band and their original producer, reproduces the incredibly rare original LP artwork, of which only two of the original six covers are known to survive.

Two giants of alternative / experimental music join creative forces for the first time in their storied, nearly fifty-year careers. A startlingly cohesive union that burns through landscapes of primitive outsider rock, avant-garde composition, progressive ambient and further locales boldly and beautifully unnamable.Bonner Kramer (previously known as Kramer) decoded the sounds of Galaxie 500 as producer on all of their records as well as producing Low, Will Oldham and Urge Overkill's hit single "Girl, You'll be a Woman Soon" for the Pulp Fiction soundtrack, to name just a few of his over three hundred and seventy producer credits listed on Discogs. He is the proprietor of iconic indie label Shimmy-Disc (a one-time home to Daniel Johnston, Ween, Boredoms and John Zorn's Naked City among countless others), and an esteemed recording studio mastermind. Thurston Moore is a founding member of Sonic Youth, and responsible for Chelsea Light Moving and a massive and varied solo career, and remains an era-and genre-defining composer, cultural critic, prime mover of all things cool, and one of the most iconic, singular guitarists in rock music's long tail, the keystone of the explored tension between rock and noise.

However dimly we perceive it, we are living through a change of worlds. The one we were born into is slipping away, reshaped and denuded by human action. What remains is the question of what we will carry forward, and how we will refuse to surrender ourselves. Will Oldham's new album, We Are Together Again, feels like an answer. In Oldham's songs - and in the circle of others gathered beneath the name Bonnie "Prince" Billy - friendship, community, and the stubborn joy of making art with others become a means of persistence. This isn't a denial of collapse, which would be delusion, but a kind of defiance: remaining fully human, fully joyful, in a world with a diminishing horizon."We Are Together Again" was recorded at End of an Ear studios in Louisville, Kentucky. After a brief sojourn in Nashville for The Purple Bird it continues his recent ambition - beginning with "I Made A Place" and "Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You" - to make records in Louisville

David Bowie - Glass Spider (Live Montreal '87) [2018 Remaster] The tour's innovative set and marriage of music and theatre has been cited as a big inspiration to acts in the 2000s. Speaking in 1991 about 'Glass Spider' Bowie said, 'It was the first time I'd had the opportunity to spend that kind of money and do shows like that! The first time since Diamond Dogs, anyway.I thought, right! Let's really spend some money! I had all these thwarted dreams of what I'd tried to do with rock 'n roll in the early '70s'.

Ninth studio album by the acclaimed British musician. Originally released in 1975, The album marked a departure from the glam rock style of Bowie's previous albums, showcasing his interest in soul and R&B music. Initial recording sessions took place in Philadelphia with producer Tony Visconti and a variety of musicians, including guitarist Carlos Alomar, who would become one of Bowie's most frequent collaborators, and singer Luther Vandross. Bowie drew influence from the sound of 'local dance halls', which were blaring with the 'lush strings, sliding hi-hat whispers, and swanky R&B rhythms of Philadelphia Soul'.

Boy with Apple, the Swedish shoegaze / noise-pop quartet from Gothenburg, returns with their long awaited sophomore album, Navigation.Having teased the world since the summer of 2025 with rumors of a follow-up to their praised debut album Attachment, Boy with Apple premiered the album's first single Feeble at Roskilde Festival in front of 3000 people. Working from the debut's dreamful noise and melody and with a new guitarist, Navigation finds the band incorporating their shared love of dance music into the soundscape. Tracks such as Come Down and Simplicity bring the acid house experiments of Pale Saints to mind. Toxic Glue, a track utilizing one of the band's earliest vocal demos, could've been made by Pygmalion-era Slowdive. It's dreamy, noisey and rhythmic.Boy with Apple proves with Navigation that they are in a league completely of their own, with their only competition being themselves.

Just as you were getting your head straight coming off the 21st Trip... Brown Acid dose # 22 drops, continuing to fry your mind in a revolving trap-door Twilight Zone alternate world of early hard rock... populated by real life characters so far out they can look like a cheesy wedding band but sound like Blue Cheer! Uncanny! This music comes at you from many angles. Teens in a garage colliding with booze, drugs and girls for the first time, lounge lizard hustlers with snazzy stage clothes and fuzz boxes... gnarly backwoods troublemakers meet blow dried glam rock wannabes here, seamlessly clobbering your head with sound rather than each other! An electric post-psychedelic bar brawl for your mind awaits, unfasten your seat belt, crank it up and fly! Sounds Synonymous "Babylon" out of Flint, Michigan 1969 rip the devastating Blue Cheer classic a new one, immediately swarming you with organ swells and distortion before collapsing into a tuff funk groove, a psychedelic James Brown vibe shot through with dirty howling fuzz guitar, vocals nailing the messed up but confident relaxed sneering attitude of the original Cheer eruption. The Bumps "Shining" from Seattle 1969 resides right at the transition of '60s psych into early prog, well constructed, no diluting things artsy fartsy style, a compelling heavy riff, spacious vocal harmony hook floating above a turbulent take on getting your shit together and shining like a star. Fat chance, but you can dream, the band did and their dreams kick ass across time to right now or you wouldn't be here. Coulda been a hit back then, definitely a hit now. Riverside "Farmer" explodes out of Austin, Texas 1974, economical but brilliantly structured riffs and power chords, intense dynamic tension/release, fantastic screaming leads over shifting angles of attack during the middle break... it's all here with a detached confidence in the vocal that swaggers back in time to the late '60s in it's proto-heavy psych adjacent assault. Cincinnati Joe & Mad Lydia "Get It Together" for real in Cincinnati, Ohio 1970. The song says everything you need to know: "You may think that you're the very best, miles and miles ahead of the rest, but be sure when you're put to the test you get it together!" These words are deployed in a manner similar to Peter Green's "Oh Well", intermittently stated between killer gnarly guitar and gushy organ attacks. Bar band heaven and hell rolled up into one big ball, the vocals get all the way out there! Straight Up "Fire" takes the monster 1968 Crazy World Of Arthur Brown hit into faithfully executed but surreally minimalist territory, Minneapolis, Minnesota 1974. Genius version of a key song that presciently cuts to the chase regarding Brown Acid's incinerations of psychedelic idealism, you're gonna burn, burn, burn... as that moment climaxes you can gawk at their preposterous flashy lounge band stage outfits and realize side one must end because everything is totally scorched into eternity. Scrap Iron "Poopsie" is a primitive two chord stomper with spiraling fuzz and organ riffs, singer marking his territory caveman style. "Poopsie, you're my woman" he commands, but gets weirdly insecure she'll blow him off at the altar by the end of each verse. Snarly wah-wah ices this toxic cake out of Carteret, New Jersey 1973. Focused delivery so single-mindedly crude it creates an inescapable instant brain-worm. Lady "Live Show Tigers" is amongst the most potently life affirming trash rockers you'll ever hear, one outrageously triumphant but fiercely sloppy anthem about living it up like a star, strutting the stage glammed up New York Dolls drag style but with a Dictators sense of humor. Tasty slightly off kilter guitar leads all through, going serendipitously berserk on the fade. Picture disc single out of L.A. 1980. Fantastic fun rock star rock at a very raw local street level where any time is party time. Killer Frog "Hard Times" on Masochist Records from Chicago, Illinois 1972 takes less than two minutes, an action packed James Gang style bar band rocker with a bit of punky sneer in the face of misfortune. These guys never even heard of flower power. They are killer frogs. Good Humore "Killer" does kill in stripped down hard rock trio style, Warren, Michigan 1976. No frills guitar, bass and drums groove tight, snaky primordial riff, snarly licks. "She's a killer of a woman, knows just what she's doing..." The singer knows she's a femme-fatale roadhouse predator but she's so hot the inevitable wreckage seems a bargain. Ride it out like the extended jam on the fade knowing she'll be back for more! Sarawest "Space Rider" winds up the 22nd Trip lost in a twisted two chord space adventure from the point of view of an alien visiting our planet seeking knowledge but finding out we are stupidly destroying ourselves, so he gotta split sneering back at us like we wasted his time "I got no time for loving... I wanna be a space rider, space rider". Toronto, Canada 1974, a vibe lurking in some strange but funny void between late '60s outsider garage psychedelic rock complete with reverb-y acid guitar leads and late '70s retro-futuristic D.I.Y wisecracking from inner space... taking the piss out of outer space!

Bruce Hornsby’s newest album, Indigo Park, is a concept album of sorts, an extended multi-dimensional inquiry into the nature of aging and memory, often with a lightness of tone – the ways certain scenes linger placidly while others balloon into imagined catastrophe, the ways we remember and the ways we forget. Throughout, Hornsby contemplates moments from his deep past, sometimes trying to “resolve” them, other times looking for clues about his present-day outlook.“It's just an old bastard looking back, while hopefully pushing forward to adventurous and new musical & lyrical areas,” Hornsby says of his new songs, with a smile of characteristic self-deprecation. “To be honest, I've found a way, a path to….grow old gracefully, with help from some newborn friends of mine.”The album is produced by Tony Berg, Will Maclellan and Bruce Hornsby with contributions from friends including Bob Weir, Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend, Bonnie Raitt, Blake Mills & more. Two of the albums ten songs were co-written with the late Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter.

MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST, PRODUCER & THE PINEAPPLE THIEF FRONTMAN BRUCE SOORD RETURNS WITH POWERFUL NEW SOLO ALBUM CLASSIC BLACK VINYL LP EDITIONAs founding member & principal songwriter of The Pineapple Thief, Bruce Soord has spent the last decade steadily refining a voice that balances emotional directness with musical restraint. ‘Ghosts In The Park’, his latest solo album, is his most personal & unguarded work to date: a record shaped by loss, memory, & the quiet spaces that reveal themselves when life continues to move while everything else appears to stop.Written over a two-year period while Soord was touring extensively with The Pineapple Thief, the album emerged in hotel rooms, unfamiliar cities, & moments of enforced solitude. Against this backdrop, Soord was navigating the drawn-out decline & eventual death of his father, alongside the continued progression of his mother’s Alzheimer’s. These experiences form the emotional spine of ‘Ghosts In The Park’ - grief in motion, memory surfacing unpredictably, & the quiet determination to keep moving forward.Acoustic guitar sits at the centre of the record, often captured in raw, first-take performances recorded directly in hotel rooms before being carefully integrated with studio recordings. This tension between fragility & control defines the album’s sound. Tracks such as “Concepción,†“Meet Me On The Downs,†& the title piece were conceived in specific places - Chile, Hamburg, Oberhausen - each location leaving a subtle imprint on the music. Parks, harbours, & anonymous rooms become recurring settings where past & present coexist, intersected by fleeting moments of clarity amongst the disorder.Performed almost entirely by Soord himself, with bass contributions from Jon Sykes on “Kept Me Thinking,†the album was recorded using a combination of hotel-room captures & studio sessions, preserving the immediacy of its origins. Mastered by Steve Kitch, ‘Ghosts In The Park’ stands as a stark, reflective & evolutionary companion piece to Soord’s acclaimed previous solo work.
