Tape Releases

So naked, so dead. Alo Girl is the solo noise project of Cristiano Renzoni based in Milan, Italy. He also runs the unbelivably dedicated harsh noise record label Urashima. The sounds within this cassette are bound to turn heads and cement Alo Girl's place within the large database of excellent Italian noise projects throughout the years. Highly recommended! Edition of 30.

Norwegian harsh noise at it's finest. Taking a leaf out of the book of the forefathers like Lasse Marhaug, Andreas Brandal (also of Lupus Golem, The Hour of the Wolf and the Twilight Luggage label) crafts two 20 minute sides of expert experimental music which only someone at the top of their game can produce. Highly thought out and perfectly executed harsh noise.

What is it you Americans call it? Mysterious Guy Harcore? Well I suppose it's that but from the cold peaks of north Derbyshire, Chesvegas (or Chesterfield). Just over 5 minutes of bizarre, fumbling, lo-fi and above all; mysterious: Shit-Punk. Limited and numbered edition of 30 copies with labels and full printed lyrics. Same programme both sides.

Old school true noisecore scum sound from Finland and England. Ancient split. Comes on red tapes with yellow labels.

New murky tape tonality from Steve Warwick of Birds of Delay fame. First side is straight to tape lo-fi tonal drone of the highest order. The flip is a loop recorded live that slowly builds and dies. Get yer fix! 100 copies on clear tapes with full colour art by the man himself.

45 minutes of straight to tape archive documentation. Ugly tones and beaten up guitars pave the way for a drone going on harsh noise junk terrifier! New UK project from the North. Cheap winters....

Live set by Mutant Ape on debut visit to Finland last year. Featuring harsh noise meltdown and unheard words of wisdom from the late, great Jamie Gillis. RIP. Picture coming soon.

Mutant Ape recordings from 2009. Dark and true. Deeply unsettled and unrelenting. Crawling. Churning. Chugging along. Brave New World. South-Northern America 1892. I would kill you all but I would never shoot a wolf... Edition of 30.

Do as you are told. Thoilden. North vs. south harsh noise showdown. Grotty and broken sound. Demented and uneducated labouring hordes meeting in the middle of a working class hell. 20 minutes of worrying noise. Edition of 30.

3-way split from the founding fathers and Turgid new-comer Scordatura from Poland. Mutant Ape beems in a track from early 07. Harsh anal noise from the depths of the Sparrow Pit. Splinter vs. Stalin throw us a track of bizarre cut up tape shit/Power Electronic sounds. Scordatura brings forth a juttering cut up harsh attack on the senses.

Mutant Turd, transported back in time to the height of GG Allin. They ship him off to Cuba, he plays in Cuba. At the same time in Leeds, England the Mutant Turd boys listen to his performance over a short wave radio, plug it into an amp and release a tape. Full colour covers.

Two live recordings in about 40 minutes of junk noise trash from Northern England. The first side is taken from Newcastle which see's Gillham from Snotnosed/Drunk In Hell and Baines playing the infamous Distraction Records weekender at The Cluny in 2005. Gillham, Baines and Dave/Milovan from Smell & Quim tear it up in Leeds as part of the Curmudgeon alldayer at the Packhorse in a bloody noise battle. Pro dubbded tapes in a pro dubbed fold out cover featuring all manner of grotesque artwork inside a PVC bag. Limited to 77 copies.

The second Progeria Youth release, the follow up to 2005's "Dirty Disease" CD-r. Recorded last year via the post. This release see's the lads go into more focused territory but with that rough-round-the-edges approach from before. Full colour art by Proctor.

Double cassette feature from this Canadian killer! Conceptual release with the first tape being a heavily edited and dense sound collage of static wall spit and the other tape being pure dense sine wave on one side and pink noise (on a pink tape) on the other! Tapes come printed in a large vinyl case with minimal artwork. Really please with this one! Sick Buildings! Limited to 100 copies.

Ancient Europe. A new Anglo-Italian project from George Proctor (Mutant Ape) and Francesco Raucci (Lexes). Harsh electronics for harsh times. Brutal Europe. Artwork by Raucci.

Warrior Breed was my first ever band that me and my cousin started in the garage when I was about 13. "If it's your first band, presumably it sounds shit and shouldn't be released?" Yes, it sounds quite bad and it probably shouldn't be released. Although here it is; purely for the fact that it reminds me of the better days, I think it necassary to get out there so fuck off eh? Comes on white tapes with labels and features full printed youthful lyrics. Same programme both sides.
