NEW RELEASES

X - X-Spurts - The 1977 Recordings (CD - $25.00)
This is a 10 track previously unreleased album from the original 4-piece line-up that was recorded on a four track tape recorder in someone's lounge room.
"X was wild and unfettered and though this recording is surely low-fi by today's standards, it captures the reality of X as it was.
To me they are priceless reminders of days long gone and a subculture that we will never know the likes of again." Steve Lucas - 2011
Screaming Tribesmen - Date With A Vampyre/Top Of The Town (CD - $22.00)
The Tribesmen came out of Brisbane in the early '80s recording two classic singles for Citadel. This release picks up the story where former Radio Birdman/Hitmen guitarist Chris Masuak joined the group and compiles the two defining 12" releases Date With A Vampyre EP from 1985 and its follow up, Top of The Town from 1986.
Both of these releases are in their entirety for the first time ever on CD, together with nearly an album's worth of bonus tracks!
Screaming Tribesmen - Bones & Flowers (CD - $22.00)
This was the only album released by the classic Screaming Tribesmen line-up featuring former Radio Birdman/Hitmen guitarist Chris Masuak.
Recorded at the peak of their powers and popularity in 1987, Bones & Flowers took the band to the States where they came close to a hit single with I Got A Feeling.
This CD features the album's original 10 tracks, several B-sides, 3 previously unreleased 1986 demos and a previously unreleased live track from 1988. 16 tracks in all...
Huxton Creepers - 12 Days To Paris (Double CD - $25.00)
This much-loved Melbourne '80s band was often considered that city's answer to the Hoodoo Gurus and the Sunnyboys.
Despite never having a smash hit, the band came close a couple of times, and this album includes those classic singles - My Cheri Amore, I Will Persuade You and Autumn Leaves. The band's first single The Murderess and its b-side have been added.
The bonus disc is a treasure trove for fans, featuring 15 live and demo recordings.
Huxton Creepers - The Mantis (T-Shirt - $25.00)
We just scored a limited number of tour leftovers from the band's recent set of dates promoting their double CD reissue 12 Days To Paris
There is only a front print featuring the praying mantis image found on the front cover of the I Will Persuade You single. So no dates on the back although it's a tour shirt.
Sizes: Only Small and Large left now.
 
Hot Knives - Self Titled (CD - $20.00)
Amazing unreleased 60's style San Francisco folk-rock album recorded in 1976, featuring Danny Mihm and Tim Lynch of the original Flamin' Groovies. It has never released and never even rumored to exist.
This is classic stuff from a band that combined '60s folk rock with muscular rock'n'roll and it will only be released in Australia.
"This stunning album is one of the archeological rock finds of the century!" (press release)
Young Modern - Live At The Grace Emily (CD - $20.00)
New 18 song live album from the legendary late 70's Adelaide band sounding exactly like its 1978 again. With definitive versions of all their classic tunes, this is masterful power pop that will appeal to fans of Big Star, the Flamin' Groovies, Badfinger and the Nerves.
"Captured live last year but sounding like it could have been recorded back in their day, such is the energy and passion.... Of course, they most recall the Flamin' Groovies, which can never be a bad thing." - Kris Needs, Shindig! Magazine.
Radio Birdman - Live In Texas (Vinyl LP - $30.00)
Vinyl limited edition (500 copies) vinyl pressing of the CD that comes with a nice full colour inner bag and a bonus download card of the tracks found on the LP. It's missing three tracks that are on the CD however.
We only have a limited number of this pressing for Australian and European customers.
US and Canadian customers are recommended to use US based Career Records who will get it to them quicker and more cheaply.
Radio Birdman - Just The Logo (T-Shirt - $25.00)
For ages everyone has asked the same question.
Why can't we have a black shirt with nothing but the big red Radio Birdman logo on the front. Nothing else.
Now you've got it!
Sizes: S - M - L - XL
 
New Christs - Live 2011 (CD - $15.00)
Limited edition 14 track album length CD recorded live at the closing of Sydney's Excelsior Hotel in May of this year. The band has been selling it at shows during their recent run of dates in Europe. Australian and US customers will not have had a chance to grab a copy - and it's not available in shops - so make haste!
If you like the band you have to have this. There have been almost nothing but good raps on it but it is lo-fi with the vocals low in the mix. So be warned. The disc comes packaged in a simple cardboard sleeve.
Chris Klondike Masuak - Workhorse (CD - $25.00)
Workhorse is a stunning statement, a blues-wailing, guitar-soaked testament to Masuak's standing as one of Australia's most talented guitarists.
Its 14 tracks are cathartic and striking in their directness, full of ironclad riffs but with powerful melody lines not far from the surface
"Is there a better blues-based rock guitar player on the planet? I think not. Impeccable tone, clean attack, monstrous vibrato." ... Ken Shimamoto
Chris Klondike Masuak - Workhorse (CD - $25.00)
Ups & Downs - Out Of The Darkness (CD - $25.00)
Brisbane natives Ups & Downs produced some of the finest pop-rock songs of Australia's post-punk era. Many will recall the indie-chart topping singles The Perfect Crime, In the Shadows and The Living Kind as well as the Mushroom label singles Lit By the Fuse and Moments Away.
All of these tracks along with all of their other A-sides, select B-sides, the entire mini-album Sleepless, some band favourites and some unreleased tracks have now been collated on the first ever and long-overdue Ups & Downs career compilation.
The Lighthouse Keepers - Ode To Nothing (CD - $25.00)
Contemporaries of The Triffids, The Lighthouse Keepers bowed out in 1986. Along the way the band had released an album (a review in the NME at the time described the album as "pure genius"), a mini-album and three singles including two genuine Australian classics in Gargoyle and Ocean Liner.
Ode to Nothing - The Best of the Lighthouse Keepers, brings together 15 tracks from the various releases and includes a 16 page booklet with tour diaries, unseen photos and press clippings.
Precious Jules - Precious Jules (CD - $25.00)
Kim Salmon (Scientists / Beasts of Bourbon) and Michael Stranges (Morning After Girls / Ripe) team up as Precious Jules and create punk mayhem.
Their debut album is 11 slices of glam, garage, punk and pop in the tradition of Ramones, NY Dolls, T. Rex and Bowie. Titles Cheap 'n' Nasty, You're A Backlash, Pearls Before Swine and The Urban Swamp tell you where these guys are headed.
Don't waste any time, get wasted with Precious Jules.

Painkillers - Feel The Pain (CD - $25.00)   more information
The Painkillers bring together the battered acoustic guitar of Joe Bludge and the massive rock 'n' roll beats of James Baker. 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 many other influences.

Happy Hate Me Nots - Time and the State (CD - $25.00)     more information
Sydney's original melodic rockers stake a new claim in 2011 with a full length 11 song album - their first new material since 1991. Recorded in the period since the band reformed to promote the 2007 release of the compilation of their 1983 to 1991 output The Good That's Been Done, it's their take on what can be created with 2 guitars, bass 'n drums and melodic rock and roll smarts.

Worker Bees - Self Titled (CD - $25.00)     more information
Worker Bees is the first creative collaboration between brothers Greg and Darren Atkinson since the days of early Big Heavy Stuff and the earlier and equally-successful Ups & Downs. While the 'Bees sound is clearly a product of their previous outfits, it is also refreshingly new and unique. This is pop that is driving, inventive, melancholic and cooly melodic.

This young Sydney band is getting talked about all over the place. This album, produced by Mikey Young of Eddy Current Suppression Ring and Straight Arrows' Owen Penglis, has been hugely anticipated in underground / DIY circles, and everyone agrees it delivers in spades.
