LABEL: Screaming Apple Records

In times where the packaging, the number of
different color pressings, the most limited circulation and the
crapiest sound seems to be more important than the ability to write a
great, simple and dead catchy tune, MARK & THE SPIES
enter the scene to prove all you self-appointed rock’n’roll experts
wrong, with their awesome blend of pure crystalline 60’s pop and
classic garage-beat.

Straight outta Springfield, Missouri USA (yep, that’s right, Springfield Missouri!) it's THEE FINE LINES!!
Playing their first show on Halloween of 2001, the ripple effect left
modsters across the country wondering just what just blew their pants
off! They sharpened their teeth on Billy Childish concoctions,
and formed something phenomenal… Their songs are a perfect mix of

Lookout! Flying atcha in their patented
Rev-O-Phonic sound, it’s the Phantom Jets! This phearsome phoursome has
been serving up searing-hot, flame-broiled slabs of prime-cut
garage-punk grunt all around Northern California for nearly two years
now! But who are they you ask? Hailing from Sacramento, California's
own 'River City', this capitol group is one capital group! These Golden
State go-getters have but a single goal: to get toes tappin’ and mitts
clappin’ to their fuzzed-out, reverb-drenched tunes. And you'll know

"Ever wondered what The Dictators crossed with The Records with Brenda Lee
singing might sound like? Well, you stopped by the right place. These
guys ain't dealing in nostalgia. This album features future classics
that could actually please all of the people all of the time".

"If you stretch your memory far enough, you can probably remember a time when "pop" was still a three-letter word. Before TRL and Ryan Seacrest and teen actresses-turned-singers, pop was actually a legitimate art form.

It's time to introduce you to the new ambassadors of rock'n'roll and believe us, we're talking about the real thing!

Look out, here come those Wildebeests
again with a whole new bunch of tunes to make you the listener perk up
and take heed. Whether it be 'rivvum and bloos', 'tank pok',
'instro-mental larkabout', or 'skewed sick-stays styled beat-noise',
these Lairds can KO with the best of them, fuck it, let's make with the
fact that The Wildebeests, the band that features (ex)-members of the
MILKSHAKES, KAISERS and THANES, can knock any and all others off the
blocks anyday, anywhere, and at anytime.

2002 album of the Scottish beat legends the THANES, we can hardly find
the right words for it. The THANES have be around since 1987 and
certainly belong to the very few really important bands of todays
garage and beat scene. Hailing from Edinburgh, they have released tons
of records on the coolest labels around, such as SUNDAZED, CORDUROY,
MISTY LANE, LARSEN and DISTORTIONS to name but a few. The THANES of

Primal sounds abound as Screaming Apple introduces the first-ever LP of THE PRIMORDIALS, a tight-trousered foursome from the caverns of Canada. 'Fourteen Prime Numbers' beats on the freak with an extra-large baker's dozen of British, Continental, Colonial and Antipodal big-beat shouters, tearing a new one out of songs by the RATTLES, the SORROWS, the ATTRACTIONS, Tony Barber, the ECCENTRICS, and even the KRAVIN' A's.

Sit up straight and look at me when I'm talkin' to you cause you're about to learn a hard lesson in etiquette from THE MIDWAYS: ladies and gents, may we present 13 raw tracks of pure 60s garage-punk mayhem on "Manners, Manners", an album that'll send you back to charm class for carpet training!
