The Backseat Drivers - Walkabout EP

Hey Syphilites,

I posted two EP's by the Backseat Drivers before here. This is their newest one: Walkabout, made available by the band the band themselves and their label Mamma Vendetta. A great EP, but you will have to let it grow on you - first I thought it sounded like noise - then things started to merge and I realised there was sense in the madness - A psych/bubble gum-pop mixture so volatile it will make your hips gyrate as if possessed.

The band was supported

on the EP

by acts

such as

O Lendário Chucrobillyman
Renato Gimenez

andMari e Mayra Trash

You want this.

Download it.

Bare Wires - Don't Ever Change 7"

Order

Hey Syphilites,

I Came across these guys via Raven Sings the Blues. Bare Wires are a garage band from Oakland, California playing catchy glam-infused punk/pop tunes. Their 2009 LP 'Artificial Clouds' was released on Tic Tac Totally and their 2010 LP 'Seeking Love' was released on Castle Face Records. Their next LP 'Cheap Perfume' will be released later this year. A new 7" 'Don't Ever Change' has just been released on Robot Elephant Records -

This is the A-side:

And listen to the B-side below. Follow the link to download the song.

Shit in Can Records

You might want to check out this label. They have released 7 seven inches and one LP so far. Just 8 releases and their catalogue is already very impressive. Keep an eye on them.

p.s. I just found out

these guys are based in Annecy in France,

which is a stone's throw away

from where I used to spend my summers

on a campsite with my family,

driving 12 hours from sunny Holland.

Oh, the memories.

Jack Rabbit Blood - Two headed snake

I can't tell you much more on this guy than this video. His myspace is down. Or under a different name. I came across him when checking out the info on the 'One-man-bands, Hillbillys and Monsters' compilation by Dirty Ugly Records, which is for sale over at Squoodge for a mere 5.75 Euros. The comp also features Bloodshot Bill and Mosquito Bandito. And that is all I've got on this guy. For now.

Wild Mustang - Demo Download

Wild Mustang is the new kid on the block and you can download his demo from his Facebook page! I've been listening to it all evening. Great stuff, really. He reminds me a little bit of Jay Reatard. There is a little keyboard involved in there somewhere. How that makes a difference I don't know, but it does. It really does. He also makes cigarbox guitars (see photo) that you can by from here.

These two are my favourites from his Myspace. They are on the demo too:

Stencil Trash Records is planning to release a 5" of Wild Mustang soon. They have just released their first 7", Chuck Violence's 'Extra Flavor'. (This is their Myspace)

Black Mekon

Hey Syphilites,

Black Mekon have been blowing my mind. I've been listening to both their albums: 'Free Range Hassle', their debut album, and their 2010 release 'Broke Into Always On'. Both have been released by Cold Rice Records and are bought 'by donation' - so you can name your own price - but they are definitely worth the suggested donation of £5 for each. Seriously, if the Black Keys and Black Sabbath gave birth to a bastard-child in a bath-tub full of distortion acid than Black Mekon would be their offspring. (Three times black makes a right.)

Watch these vids and judge for yourself. Then go buy their shit.

These guys have heaps of video's so be sure to check more on Youtube via Steviecopter's channel. I will certainly post more of them here on a later date.
