spacer Chronic Heist Fake This Dream

spacer Frodus Left For Dead In Halmstad!
itunes button
A live recording of Frodus live in Halmstad, Sweden in 1998 while on tour with Refused. Frodus plays to a perplexed crowd and tries their darndest to get them involved, to move, to do something other than immobily stare. A fine document of the live Frodus experience in this era and incarnation with the band exhausted and delirious near the end of their 2 1/2 month tour of Europe. "The wind will mark our words." - Frodus

spacer Shelby Cinca Electronic 1: Obelisk
itunes button
Former Frodus frontman enters the world of 8bit electronica with his debut album. Redemptiondepartment.com has said: "...this music seems like, in my opinion, almost a spiritual manifestation of Shelby himself. The fact that he has for so long been such a sci-fi, data, and technology geek/junkie really gives this work a powerful sense of personability that the casual listener should be informed as to in order to fully appreciate this music."

spacer Alarma Man s/t
itunes button CD On Sale $5.00
Instrumental and daft in it's execution, Alarma Man can excite, sooth, and equally throw an unprepared listener into a state of confusion. Mind-numbing drum beats, steady bass lines, and odd guitar rhythms accenting with tapping that defies the nature of the sonic guitar itself. A mad mixture of dark intentions and old roving spirits that brings to mind Don Cabellero, Man Or Astroman, and Fugazi, yet with something all the more sinister and forward looking.

C.AARMÉ s/t
itunes button

C.AARME is not another fashion-punk band. Their theme is a focused danger with simplicity, finesse and punk action! With empathy they move unhindered between punk and metallic noise rock. Sometimes C.AARME's clatter brings to mind Bad Brains and Black Flag. Two seminal punk bands these Gothenburg boys have never even heard of! That it became what it is is just a coincidence or perhaps the hand of punk fate sprinkling it's "magic dust" on this lonely Swedish city. In their words, "We just wanted to play artless hard music and this is how it turned out."

spacer Dialog Cet Like Animals
itunes button CD On Sale $5.00
Abstract Swedish Math-Pop with a tinge of Sonic Youth. As the night and day goes through it's cycles, Dialog Cet shows every sign that they follow the call of the wild that moves an animal to howl at the moon one moment and at the other to find a secluded hole to hide itself in. Humans or animals? You decide the true origins but be aware that this is a curious, unpredictable, unknown, and instinctive creature that stands at the edge of the world searching for new prey... "

spacer Dialog Cet Konsumera Era
itunes button CD On Sale $5.00
Travelling into the nether regions of music Dialog Cet from Jönköping, Sweden, are back from their exploration with their third album "Konsumera Era". The tale of this band is one of musical and musician mathematics. Initially a two piece instrumental group on their debut "Crocodile Hunt" (Tripoli Records / 1999), then to a three piece on the critically acclaimed "Ny Metall" album (Carcrash Records 2001). In 2002, they went back to be a two piece, using additional musicians bass/guitars/drums/vocals to record "Konsumera Era". "Konsumera Era" is a sonic attack that combines early 90s Chicago post-punk dissonance to the weird rock/labyrinth-punk that Dialog Cet are known for! Music not afraid to move or perplex you... open your ears and sound the alarm.

spacer Svenson See You In Earth
itunes button CD On Sale $5.00
Innovative, original Gothenburgbased quartet formed in 1999. The way they mix electronics, avant-garde and punk ideas in a decidedly rock-orientated format is unlike most contemporary music produced in Sweden today. Originally a solo act named Zeke Schöön. Dieter recorded an up to date unreleased album called "Sound of Musik". Dieter Schöön & the California Sunshine played various clubs in Gothenburg building a reputation as a spectacular live act and started recording their debut album early 2000, now named "Svenson" incorporating no tracks from the original "Sound of Musik" album. Recorded as a band in full realized abstract glory like only Swedes do.

itunes button CD On Sale $5.00
The second album from Dialog Cet is entitled "Ny Metall" (new metal), and has been produced and recorded by Dialog Cet in Matchtown studios, Huskvarna, just outside Jönköping. Fully instrumental, this is a record that goes against todays commercialized musicscene. When bands put their effort in being tight and getting a polished sound, Dialog Cet does the opposite. They instead focus on the feeling, the sound is punky, heavy and consist, but its all done in a good sense and it all ends up beautiful. This is a music experience far from the ordinary!

spacer The Cassettes Lights single

1999. The Cassettes sprang forth from the musings and bedroom recordings of song- writer Shelby Cinca - at the time pulling double-duty as front man for the futurist D.C. post-punk band, Frodus. After sharing demos with long-time friend, Steve Kille (Dead Meadow), the idea to embark as a full-blown rock n' roll outfit became reality. Recruiting drummer Stephen McCarty (Weird War and Dead Meadow) set The Cassettes on a journey that would chart unknown territories as they explored their souls with sound. This 7" comes with a special designed cover (includes blue metallic color). Limited to 1000 copies which also includes 200 numbered copies with blue transparent vinyl.

Format
"Electroshocks for Authorities" is the Debut album from The Outstand. Although they had released a MCD (white cane) and a 7" (s/t), this became their big break.

Although they didnt get the attention they deserved at the time, this album has still resonates strongly even today.

Before their formation, all members had played in different punk outfits, but when they got together as The Outstand, they faced a new musical era.

spacer Uncle ABC For Fuzzy Little Kids 7"
Out Of Print
The band was formed by members that rised from the ashes of bands like Start Today and Stab. This three piece found structure in spazzcore, quirky, intense weirdo jazz with lots of screaming and powerful rythms with the image of running full-speed into a brick wall for enjoyment. When this 7" was released, Uncle had only been around for a little more than a year, but that didn´t stop this trio from making a big impression on peoples minds. Something new and exciting always happened when they played live. Among all the bands they have played with were; Jenny Piccolo, Samiam, the Locust, Nine, Frodus, Separation and more... The two core members went on to form Division Of Laura Lee.
