Desumanos' fresh mixture of guitar driven melodies is as evocative as it is playful.This instrumental project is made up of a dream-team of Brazilian producers and musicians. Kassin, on bass, was member of The +2's band and co-produced Gilles Peterson's Brazilian project Sonzeira, featuring legendary artists such as Elza Soares, Naná Vasconcelos, Wilson Das Neves_ While Liminha, on guitar, is a former member of Os Mutantes. His signature sound is heavily influenced by classic instrumental surf music, but tropical rhythms are also dropped in the mix. The band is completed with Felipe and Manoel Cordeiro (on guitar), one of the lambada originators, and Stephane San Juan (drums), currently playing with David Byrne.Across the tracklist of this Desumanos debut album we can find a unique combination of musical styles that are all filtered through the sieve of instrumental surf music without losing their roots anchored in tropical sounds such as cumbia, African rhythms and, of course, popular genres from Brazil such as forró or lambada. Ten original songs in which the guitar is the undisputed protagonist and the tropical atmosphere emanates through each note.

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Charismatic showman Richard blazed a trail with his sequined jackets and frenetic pounding of the Piano keys. His breakthrough track Tutti Frutti, would not only make him a star and kick off an influential career that would span over half a century, but was one of the templates for what we know as popular music. Indeed, as People Magazine proclaimed, 'There could not have been a Michael Jackson if there had not been a Little Richard."

Ben Vaughn's unstylized singing and guitar is filtered through his quirky sense of humor, resulting a collection of clever lyrics and catchy tunes scented with vintage aroma.It sounds just as fresh today as it did back then and sees now its first reissue in 35 years!The Ben Vaughn Combo blazed the trail for American music that was way off kilter compared to the competition. Their tri-state type Tex-Mex sound really shook things up. Their reputation as a live act grew exponentially with every show they played. Theirs was a twist on the roots rock scare with a reach something like The Fleshtones, outside of the standard 80s ranch stash. The sort of thing that has a tendency to get written out of history despite being timeless, it doesn't easily fit into any premeditated narrative.When "The Many Moods Of Ben Vaughn Combo" appeared in 1986, the Combo literally had the world at its feet. Many of the hits you hear when you see him (and the Quintet) today are on this platter. Long out of print and somewhat sought after, this was the first time that Ben's Rambler car was heard on a record. And not the last.The Andy (then Adny) Shernoff inspired 'I Dig Your Wig' is like The Cramps with a Doug Sahm infusion. The accordion is the secret weapon here. Little used in rock 'n roll and often scoffed at, it allows these songs a setting that your conventional instrumentation would just flatten. Reading the sleeve info you'll see the legend "DEDICATED TO THE GEATOR", a nod to the legendary Philly DJ that inspired Ben to come up with his sound. It sounds just as fresh now as it did back then.Perhaps you're too young to have been around when this record album was first available? Maybe you wore your three copies out? Whatever your story is, these "Many moods_" will lift yours in these perilous times. Don't end up sorry (like Brenda Lee).The man himself (and the aforementioned players) will be revving up their engines for an appearance at Surforama 2022 in Valencia and appearing at other locations a...

A collection of bizarre avant-garde garage-rock, recorded by El'Blaszczyk in the early '90s, together with his 10 year old sister and his neighbour. The result is vaguely reminiscent of the universe of actor/director Jean Yanne, the comedian music group Les Charlots, and humoristic singer Boby Lapointe.

An enjoyable 10" containing many versions of Little Willie John's classic tune 'Fever'.

Lula & The Bebops play rock’n’roll as if their lives depended on it.
“Steady Roll” is 13 tracks of jumping, jiving, rocking rhythm and blues. A debut album from a band who sound like they’ve been around forever.

Authentically recorded and mixed in mono and lovingly packaged; “Steady Roll” unearths lesser-known numbers, turning them into classics.

Lula & The Bebops put the sex and grit back into rock’n’roll. They make vintage songs sound relevant to now.

Green Cookie Records is proud to announce the addition of Dutch surf legends The Phantom Four to their roster, and 'Mandira' once again makes clear why!

On this Rockabilly LP you will find twenty of the greatest Rockabilly artists and songs from the late 1950s. To name a few: ''Blue Suede Shoes'' performed by Carl Perkins is considered one of the first rockabilly records, incorporating elements of blues, country and pop music of the time. Janis Martin was only fifteen years old when she recorded ''Will You, Willyum''. This album also features Elvis Presley with his first commercial hit, ''That's All Right,'' and Bobby Day's biggest hit should not be –and is not—missing from this collection. To close, Jerry Lee Lewis with ''Great Balls Of Fire',' a single that sold more than a million times in the week it was originally released. Enjoy the Rockabilly Heroes on ''Cool Blue” vinyl!!

Wanda Jackson is a true pioneer of American popular music. One of the first women in history to record country and western music, as well as rock ‘n’ roll, and a brief romantic liaison with Elvis.This collection reminds of the greatness of her peak years at Capitol Records. From the mournful twists of “Sinful Heart,” to the hard-rocking thrills of “Let’s Have A Party” and “Riot In Cell Block Number Nine,” Wanda Jackson attacks the material in her distinctive way, with a wry glance at innocence left somewhere behind. All hail the Queen, and long may she reign!

It was ten years ago that the rowdy but ever-elegant Midnight Kings made their stage debut. Since then, these unlikely monarchs of rhythm'n'blues – gentlemen who’ve thrown in their lot with rock'n'roll, garage punkers with hearts full of soul – simply haven’t stopped for a minute. They’ve sweated, sung, danced and driven others to dance at hundreds of clubs and dozens of festi- vals across Europe, earning the respect, esteem and, more often than not, the adoration of many loyal fans of true rock’n'roll. Following hot on the heels of two popular albums distributed throughout Europe, and a single that has now become a sought-after collector's item, comes their latest offering, "Last Chance To Dance", due for release at the end of 2022 on Wild Honey Records. It consists of eight songs, five originals and three covers ("Bumble Bee", "The Girl Can't Dance" and "C'mon And Swim"), destined to become the soundtrack of every rock'n'roll party worthy of the name. Are you ready to get back on the dance floor? Sure you are!
