Fashion! Fashion! and the Image Boys - Pussy Stretcher - 7"

Second-and-a-half single from the ugliest band in the US. This one is actually better than their debut platter on Florida's Dying. Their scuzzy Dwarvesian chainsaw punk attack is pretty well honed on this, and tunes like "Scissors Jihad" and "White Bitch" should get your adrenalin rising a little. If you like what the Brutal Knights are doing, there's no reason you shouldn't like this in some way. These guys might be playing the same style better and without the schticky comedy of the BKs. Don't hold the fact that Derek Lyn Plastic is in the band against them. Really exceptional sleeve design. (RK)

Fear of Flying - Three's A Crowd - 7"

Classic second single from Fear of Flying that shows why they're one of the most hotly tipped bands at the moment. We really rate this record, it's a biggie.

Fight Like Apes- Jake Summers - 7"

What happens when four highly motivated couch potatoes, trawl through the b-movie underworld in search of the purest of gold...? They Fight Like Apes! Hailing from Dublin, Ireland and weighing in at over 6 hundred pounds, Fight Like Apes combine the Synth with the Sword in this heroic tale of anger, jealousy, greed and ...goblins. With an emphasis on loutish vocals, brutish bass and digital distortion Fight Like Apes are highly trained, armed and considered extremely dangerous.

FINAL SOLUTIONS "Eye Don’t Like You" - 7"

SS-07 FINAL SOLUTIONS "Eye Don’t Like You" b/w
"Left Banke" & Blizzard of Fuzz" 7”

Ex- and current REATARDS and LOST SOUNDS playing killer punk along the lines of early Wire. Three sharp songs that cut you like galactic hedge clippers.

FRIENDS OF THE BRIDE - Buckle Up Sunshine - 7"

The latest release from the lovely YALC imprint brings this amazing South London band to the fore. This is the strongest release since Pull Tiger Tail and has a rich quality to it, with a 60s organ pop vibe but with a really dark undertone. Loving it.

Friends Of The Bride - So You Think You Can Dance? - 7"

Young and Lost Club hit the mark yet again with this limited (500) single from everybody's favorite Sinatra imitation band...in a very good way. Recommended for fans of Morrissey, Jarivs Cocker and literate British music everywhere.

FUCKED UP - Dangerous fumes - 7"

New single for FUCKED UP featuring two new exclusive tracks. Dangerous fumes was written over 2 years ago and proves once again that FUCKED UP is one of the best hardcore bands going

FUCKED UP - Mix tape volume 2 - Cassette

This recording was mixed professionally and includes a BUNCH of exclusive materials. The second in a series, to coincide with the events and releases in Hidden World-period Fucked Up. This time around the fat is trimmed to 60 minutes, and features alternate versions, unreleased songs, alternate vocal tracks, live and recorded cover versions and more live interview nonsense

Fucked Up- Year of the Pig - 12"

from NY TIMES:
That’s the name of a monstrous new 18-minute song by a neo-hardcore band
from Toronto. And the name of the band? Well, suffice it to say that if newspaper coverage were a priority, the members might have called themselves
Messed Up instead. You can find “Year of the Pig” on iTunes and elsewhere.
The 1980s Portland, Ore., band Poison Idea is an obvious influence, although
Poison Idea wasn’t known for composing multipart epics about sexism and
serial killing and the meat industry. In any case, this is an unreasonably
stubborn song, building momentum slowly as the guest singer Jennifer Castle
murmurs the lyrics (“Pigs at the trough show no fear”) and Pink Eye, the
band’s lead singer, roars them (“Pigs at the trough getting fat!”). The band
trudges slowly along for six minutes, then builds momentum, then lurches
forward, riding a relatively sleek groove as Pink Eye declaims the words
(“Ashamed of the pig in our head/Ashamed, so we kill ’em instead”) as the band stretches up and surges forward and, finally, collapses in a heap. This is the second installment in a series inspired by the Chinese zodiac; with any luck, “Year of the Rat” is up next.

FUN 100 / PAPER LANTERNS - Pull The Goalie split - 7"

My lame record player couldn’t play this loud enough! Fun 100 are full of power pop goodness, although maybe a little too indie rock for me. But the Paper Lanterns (I’m guessing it’s a Green Day reference) are completely and totally amazing! An awesome throwback to early Lookout Records, especially MTX. I heard they broke up, but I need to track down everything they ever released. If this were a cereal, Fun 100 would be Apple Jacks (pretty good), but Paper Lanterns would be Cinnamon Toast Crunch! Yum! –Maddy (Hockey Dad)
