A sweet golden wind blows, a wonky guitar plays tricks on your mind, an eerie voice slides through the dampness makin your hair stand on end and suddenly you are right in the middle of the sound of Highway Patrol. Whether it's a lonely motel, an overgrown swamp or a strip bar, those songs do indeed take you on a wild and sensual ride. Seems like those instrument swapping freaks have been diving deep into the waters that have been fueling blues and rock'n'roll since the 70ies. Producing a mysterious mixture between country, soul, rhythm'n'roll. (Have dark forces been dippingtheir finger in the pie?) You'll get your heart broken and fixed in no time!, while those putrid drums will make you dizzy with their wild rhythm. Either way they play a barn in front of 30 people or a venue packed to the top, nobody could ever escape their ease 'n' tension. So lets hear what some other guys have to say after listening to this little beast:

You probably forgot about Rouge. That’s understandable. It’s been two long years since these Berlin punks dropped their debut cassette. But the folks who were paying attention knew better. There was enough promise in that 2022 release to suggest they had more up their sleeve, and it was clearly just a matter of time before they were ready to share it. Well, that time has come. Once again they’re teaming up with Phantom Records, this time making things official with their first vinyl release. They’ve seemingly spent these last couple of years honing their craft--across the eight tracks on this release, they sound much more confident, bolstered by a production that’s a little more polished, though not necessarily slick. Still, they manage to make this a distinctly Rouge-ish affair, mixing the frenetic pre-hardcore punk of the Bags with the drippy garage of Thee Oh Sees and a heaping helping of contemporary Aussie-styled, po-faced post-punk/new wave and anchored by excellent guitar work and an energetic vocal performance. Good music for bad times! (Alex Howell)

For the bands that really make a difference, there are releases that prove to be the proverbial ‘tipping point’ - taking them to another level, exposing them to giant new waves of fans… “Under Tension“ de¬nitely had it’s game changing moments - but ultimately was hampered by a pandemic hell-bent on preventing this band from taking those tracks across the globe with serious gusto! ….This record, oh, this record… an EP at that, is without a doubt the one that will prove to be that game changing moment for the vast majority within earshot. It includes epic ballads and heart wrenching, truly game-changing barn-burning life-altering tunes, for Today. This is the real deal. If you’re into Punk, you are into this band, and this record is just epic! The power and presence that this band will throw in your face in every way, at every opportunity is an extension of “Under Tension” - Profound, somewhat intimidating, and most importantly - overwhelmingly welcoming... and noble! Best get out of the way, or better yet, sign up and join the ¬ght!

Have you been through some extreme research lately ? Any fans of Japanese hardcore out there ? We’ve got something for ya. These two double lp compilation are a who’s who of the underground scene, covering any key market from Tokyo to Sendai.

Here, for the first time on vinyl, two mandatory compilation depicting the decline of the Eastern civilization.

Reissue of this Descendents classic, a must for any punk fan's record collection.

Loud, rude, and confrontational, Madball is praised for their unforgiving brutality and skill with raw lyrics and thick guitar grooves. Tracks like "Pride (Times Are Changing)" and the title track "Demonstrating My Style" have become classic staples of New York Hardcore/Punk and still make mosh pits around the world turn into complete chaos.

On their seventh studio album, Deftones prove that they don't need to compromise aggression for ambition. Koi No Yokan ranges from brutal, blunt-force trauma ("Gauze") to epic prog-rock atmospherics ("Tempest"). Opener "Swerve City" sets the tone immediately with a bludgeoning riff, but Deftones also take nuanced approaches to angsty tension, weaving meticulously crafted cosmic rock on "Entombed" and wading through murky, jagged textures on "Rosemary."

Rock for Light is the second full-length album by Bad Brains, released in 1983. It was produced by Ric Ocasek of The Cars.

Most fans will be more familiar with the 1991 reissue, which was remixed by Ocasek. Version used an altered track order, significantly different mixes and a speed increase of the master which results in a raising of the pitch by one-half step.

This reissue marks the fourth release in the remaster campaign, re-launching the Bad Brains Records label imprint. In coordination with the band, Org Music has overseen the restoration and remastering of the iconic Bad Brains' recordings. The audio was mastered by Dave Gardner at Infrasonic Mastering and pressed at Furnace Record Pressing.
