NUMBSKULL
"The Great Brain Bake-Off"
SV 24-2 CD $8.00
This aptly named dumbcore outfit began life as long ago as 1984, and seems to have become only more totally retarded over the years, as this new recording so clearly shows. Amazingly stoopid brain damage. (SMOG VEIL)

P.A.W.N.S.
"You Talk of Sacrifice"
BM 12-2 CD5 $6.55

VIRUS 230-2 CD $10.50
Their 2nd album of mean-ass, sicko thug-core, and a sordid mix of the AmRep sound (TAR, HALO OF FLIES, KILLDOZER, etc.), AC/DC, SKYNYRD, and ol' fashioned BLACK FLAG hardcore. (ALTERNATIVE TENTACLES)
PANTHERS, THE
"Are You Down?"
TMU 099-1 LP $8.55
TMU 099-2 CD $9.00

"Applied Ignorance"
VIRUS 263-1 LP $8.85
VIRUS 263-2 CD $10.50
This is the sound of THE SCREAMERS and GILBERT & SULLIVAN going terribly wrong. Eerie, grinding keyboards mix with driving bass, thundering drums, wall-of-sound guitar and frantic, desperate vocals in a blend of old school punk, deathrock, and no wave. Their live shows have become stuff of legend too, with singer Hopeless sometimes going so far as to handcuff himself to unsuspecting fans. (ALTERNATIVE TENTACLES)
PHANTOM RATS
"Phantom Rats"
RON 029-1 LP $9.00

TMU 032-2 CD $9.00
With roots in the '80s no-wave and post punk sounds of WIRE, THE FALL, GANG OF FOUR, CONTORTIONS, and more modern bands like CIRCUS LUPUS, they here add some other influences (THE EX especially), as well as some outside instruments (cello and violin) to make a real natural progression. (TROUBLEMAN)

An over-the-top, garagey take on heavy '70s rock a la AC/DC, complete with swagger and retardo wrestling references, from this bunch of Australian goofballs (rumored to be moonlighting from a well-known band). Also includes a cool CD-ROM clip. Australian import. (BRAIN SALAD SURGERY)
SHOTGUN RATIONALE
"Rollercoaster"
VINCE 11894-1 LP $11.20
This was a Sonny Vincent (TESTORS, etc.) project, released in 1993 only in Germany, that also featured Cheetah Chrome, Scott Asheton, Richard Hell, Sterling Morrison and Maureen Tucker, with a big, guitar-fuelled punk sound strongly reminiscent of THE DEAD BOYS.

On the heels of their debut Rapid Pulse 7", here's a new 3 song offering from this San Francisco band, made up of former members of THE SHIFTERS, THE SPITES, and THE TRUST FUND BABIES.

"2/8/2000"
JFR 050-2 CD5 $7.85
A new Chicago band that sounds a bit like ALKALINE TRIO with a keyboard player and sunny melodies about lost love. (JOHANNS FACE)

SIXSOUTH
"A Hole Where the Heart Once Beat"
P 062-2 CD $10.20
Made up of York, PA hardcore/punk veterans of the bands THE ARMED CITIZENS, GFNC, and TAP AND DIE, this converges those sounds. A frustrating CD to describe, as the music goes from 0 to 100 in a second, and the lyrics go from desperation to anger in a word. Harsh vocals deliver the angst, with a great, interwoven two-guitar sound, smatterings of effects, and powerful drumming combine to create a very interesting hardcore punk band which can dish out some "big rock" from time to time. (SCOOCH POOCH)

The hotly-awaited fourth album from SLEATER-KINNEY. Produced, recorded and mixed by Nashville producer Roger Moutenot, who came to the attention of the band through his ass-licking to YO LA TENGO. Moutenot brought a straight-forward approach and sensitivity to the integral nature of SLEATER-KINNEY's music and has focused the band's energy on their unrivaled blend of rock and roll elements and pure fire girl punk. They couldn't have done it without him. (KILL ROCK STARS)
SLOW GHERKIN
"Another in Your Life"
BMR 010-7 7" $4.00
Asian Man Records' well-loved SLOW GHERKIN returns to the good-ole locally released 7" format. Three extremely catchy songs, "Another In Your Life [Monkey Dance Mix]," "Michael Jackson," and "ZX III," that proudly feature their blaring horn section and huge, partying sound. (BAD MONKEY)
