Label: Dirty Water Records

Raw, wild, horrific, and tons of fun is the best way to describe this two man horror-trash band
from southern Sweden. These two English guys aren’t interested in pop fame or hit records.
They live in a world of gravestones, monsters, werewolves and haunted houses. Sitting alone
in the dark watching vintage Hammer Horror films and waiting for gravedigging jobs is how
they spend their days.

London's finest Rythym 'n' Punk band is back, this time with a cracking Christmas single.

Track listing:

A - Sock It To Me Santa

B - Black Santa

The Wildebeests are something of a garage-rock supergroup, seeing as the group consists of John Gibbs, The Kaisers, Holly Golightly Band, The Masonics), Lenny Helsing (Thanes, Green Telescope) and, last but not least, Russ Wilkins (Pop Rivets, Milkshakes and Delmonas).

Something of a rock’n’roll supergroup, Magic Christian comprises Cyril Jordan (formerly of The Flamin’ Groovies) on guitar, Clem Burke (Blondie) on drums, Eddie Muñoz (The Plimsouls) on bass, and Paul Kopf on vocals – four musicians who share an enthusiastic and energetic new approach to classic sounds of the past, bringing them very much up to date.   Magic Christian was formed by guitarist/songwriter Cyril J

Our favourite beer swillin', bath dodgin', skirt chasin' mono men are
back with another slab of 12 killer R&B/Garage tracks....St. Bo
Diddley is clawing and scratching his way outta his grave so he can
catch them live on their UK tour in July.

Don't miss it!

Bury St. Edmunds' teenage terrorists are back, this time with a whole different bag of sweets offered out of their car window.  Whereas their first LP was Buzzcocks/Childish Garage Punk, this is more like classic 60s beat that wouldn't be out of place on Nuggets.  We don't know how they do it, we don't care, we just love it.

The legendary GONN have teamed up with Dirty Water to release a storming single, "Don't Need Your Lovin'".  One of the absolutely wildest of all sixties garage bands, from Keokuk, Iowa (don't laugh, the wildest were mainly from backwaters, not big cities), they are best known for the classics "Blackout of Greteley" and "Doin' Me In".

The Branded are back with a new 7" on Dirty Water:  She's My Woman b/w Justine.  She's My Woman was originally released on Raven's End Records (the band's own label) but only 100 were pressed due to a mistake by the presser.  After a deluge of requests we have decided to re-release this masterpiece. 

Track listing:

a) She's My Woman

b) Justine

Boston's Muck and the Mires are back with their best album yet: "Hypnotic", produced by Kim Fowley & Maria Baglien. 12 tracks of their unparalleled Hamburg-Beatles-Meets-Ramones 2-minute masterpieces wrapped up in an amazing 3D sleeve with 3D glasses included!

The Wildebeests, true purveyors of the 'Dimbo beat' and all round Din meisters, are back with their cracking new single "One Minute's Time", released 19 January 2009 on Dirty Water Records, double a-sided single with their classic track "Lucinda".

Track Listing:

• One Minute's Time
• Lucinda

Another stunning Garage band to come out of Dublin, The Revellions were originally an instrumental surf band. With a pounding rhythm section, a swirling Farfisa keyboard, a guitar player shooting out riffs like early morning target practice and a psychotic vocalist screaming like a drunken banshee, The Revellions know how to keep it primitive. Very fast, very loud, very cool.

Bury St. Edmunds teenage terrorists Thee Vicars are the bastard offspring of the Buzzcocks, Billy Childish and the Mummies, abandoned at birth and left to die in the woods….only to be discovered and raised by wolves.... they will violently remind you of what we’re all supposed to be doing here.

Their debut LP “Back on the Streets” comprises 16 riff-tastic tracks that will shake the world.

SIDE ONE:

After starting out in the city of Melbourne, Australia, The Kits have now relocated to Londonwhere their sound has come into its own. Drawing comparisons with The Saints, Gang of Four and The Sonics, The Kits‚ tales of crime, addiction and short-lived romances have resulted in a rapturous following and earned them recent supports with The Dirtbombs, Wolfmother, The Saints and The Nightmarchers, as well as rave reviews in magazines like Kerrang and Artrocker.

Psychedelic-garage, surf-guitar, Tex Mex, and rhythm’n’blues South Americans, in the tradition of their compatriots Los Saicos, seem to have crossed time and space from the Buenos Aires of 1965.

4. Vampiro

5. Scream

Yes, Los Peyotes are back! Back to Dirty Water for the second single "BDAAA!!!"....back to Europe for another tour this summer, and back to Dirty Water for a full length LP/CD. Another killer track seemingly from 1965, backed with a great cover of an original South American Garage Punk song by Los Saicos.

BDAAA!!

El Entierro de los Gatos

Teenage Garage Punks from Bury-St-Edmonds. Sound like a cross between '77 Punk and Billy Childish. This is their first vinyl release in advance of a heavy summer touring schedule including spots on the bill at the Primitive festival in Rotterdam and the Dracula festival in Valencia. They are not to be missed!

Why Have You Changed?

NME said:

"Download, spread the word, avoid at your own peril. Stop whatever you are doing. Your life is about to change. Boston’s garage super group Muck and the Mires are setting the Universe on fire." Kim Fowley (producer)

First full-length album from the Anglo-Swedish R&B/Garage combo. 11 killer original tracks. Available from May.

Garage Punk Latino kings Hollywood Sinners’ second LP is the latest release from Dirty Water. Recorded at Circo Perrotti Vintage Recording Studio in Gijon, Mike Mariconda and Dr. Explosion have somehow captured the essence of the Sinners’ manic live performances on tape (none of that digital shit for Hollywood Sinners).

Malmo may not make you think of snotty fuzz ‚ as Sweden is generally more famous for the likes of Ace of Base ‚ but if you ask The Branded who the hell Ace of Base are, they just shrug, snigger and whack you round the head with a big simple fist. This is my kinda groop. The Branded don't ever eat. They just listen to records by The Yardbirds, Count Five and The Sonics. They don't do anything else. This has left them gaunt and slightly cabbaged. Thankfully, this state of ill repair has produced a back pocket full of great singles that strut like a damaged peacock. You gotta love that huh?

Single of the Week: Look at the picture cover. That's my face after extensively smashing my face against the wall as this track took over brain and bent it in half. Driving, forceful, genuine punk rock with two savage basses tearing at the leash like two hell hounds. The orderly guitar stabs go off like a well timed battery of three inch guns and singer Nathan cooks the whole thing in a big steam driven oven with the heat setting set to "hate". Fuck I love this.

Great band from Portugal with a stunning mix of rock'n'roll, garage and blues, all topped by a great singer ∧ loud loud guitars. Sounding a bit like Sweatmaster or Sewergrooves played by Muddy Waters! (Soundflat) Track listing: Wanna Hold You Go

Drop the best black music, Blues, R&B and Soul, a shot of country, a little more garage, and a pinch of punk into a cocktail shaker - not forgetting to add a little cold beer and presto!

Track listing: Los Chicos – Living Legends The Havox – Watch This!

Nothing to do with oddball 50s movies this time - a no upload post today, completely knackered (that working late'll gertcha every time). Instead, we've just time to marvel at the wonder that is Los Peyotes... The world needs more crazy spazout trap rattling. It needs more dazzlingly expert maraca handling. It needs more mock sixties studio videos. It needs more garage titans in matching outfits. THE WORLD NEEDS MORE PEYOTES. I was more than mildly obsessed with this song when it came out, and with darn good reason, I feel. The cough is, quite clearly, integral to the whole shebang.

Finally a 45 by our fave garage beat band! On the great Dirty Water Label from London comes this great three-track EP including three of the best tracks off their second CD-only album "Beginners Muck". All this housed in a great cartoon cover. You'll love it! (Soundflat) Track listing: I'm Down With That One of These Days All I Really Want To Do is Cry

For a gang of ladies who want to "rock'n'roll all night and party every day", there nonetheless beats a romantic heart at the centre of The Priscillas' day-glo world. For sure, all of the band's hallmarks are present and correct - riffs so crunching, hard-driven and downright filthy that even The Hives would break out in…er…hives, the sassy, switchblade smiles, Jackie O's make-up tips and the Russ Meyer-approved proportions. But this tale of super-powered true love is as deliciously soppy as it is enervating.

Brand new reissue of one of garage rock’n’roll’s best 45s ever. Boston’s Lyres issued this back in 1979 on Sounds Interesting, run by future Arf! Arf!

Most suitable: the newly launched Dirty Water record label (run by those good chaps from the London club of the same name) debut with a 45 by a new London group with a moniker not a million miles away from their own. And yes, it's a suitable description. The Dirty, in typically current style, shake up a pile of sounds from yesteryear to forge their own disgruntled, primitive rock.

This is a groovy, hip-shaking bastardization of the first Them album that’s been copulating with the energy of The Shadows of Knights. “Things Ain’t Right” is the Count Five reborn – psychotic reaction indeed! But they’re not completely lost in the art of retrofication since they infuse a whole lotta punk attitude in their tunes. Yes! It’s righteous, strip-me-naked-and-paint-me FUZZ RAWK!
