Skinny Bones & The Gonedadys " Shot My TV "

Written /recorded and produced by Skinny Bones, Shot My TV marks the return of this young new york punk rock veteran whose songwriting and guitar playing skills have already marked a couple of generations of music fans around the world.
Introduced by musician and record producer Bill Laswell to Dee Dee Ramone in 1989, Skinny Bones co-wrote and recorded several songs with Dee Dee before teaming up with Marky Ramone , co-writing The Job That Ate My Brain and Anxiety for the Ramones’ album Mondo Bizarro in 1992.
A few years later the two of them co-wrote Have A Nice Day for Adios Amigos, the final Ramones album before fronting Marky’s solo band the Intruders.
In the meantime, Skinny had also formed a partnership with Joey Ramone with whom he played in the band Resistance. Joey and Skinny played and recorded together until Joey’s tragic death.
Shot My TV features 12 new tracks which will please any punk rock fan around the world. Think Johnny Thunders, Stiv Bators, Ramones, and good old 50’s rock’n’roll. The CD also features a bonus track co-written with Dee Dee Ramone.
Far from the usual self-important musician attitude, Skinny Bones
gives all the wannabes, copycats and tattooed posers a good lesson in humility with a really cool, fun, witty and nicely crafted album. A must have, and certainly a very refreshing alternative to the soul-less gutless, overproduced nonsense which is shoved down our throats on a daily basis.
Skinny Bones is already planning on touring extensively to promote this new album while writing songs for the next one.

SPARKLING BOMBS "Spray Paint Prayers"

" Spray Paint Prayers ", the second full-length album from French glamourous rockers SPARKLING BOMBS is a one way ticket to the prettiest purple skies where white stars shine like silver glitter in the dark. The band kept the elegant romantic edge, power pop melodies and punk rock'n'roll hooks that could be heard on their previous releases but added more variety and luscious 70s flavour to them on this new album. A hard to resist temptation and songs that won't leave off your mind easily, like paint on silk.

THE NEUROTIC SPIDERS "Down To Kill"

This unholy Japanese power trio play Aussie influenced fuel-injected Rock&Roll, mixing Detroit sound of the Stooges with 70s hard rock like Motorhead.14songs including 2 covers of Radio Birdman & Powder Monkeys.

THE NAZI DOGS "Old Habits Die Hard"

Old Habits Die Hard" is the NAZI DOGS` second full lengh album and contains 14 songs - 12 originals and 2 cover songs from the SUICIDE KINGS ("Take Your Medicine") and the SURF PUNKS ("My Wave"). Luckily, it is still filled with the same nasty attitude and outrageousness that the DOGS´ sound has always been known for. The NAZI DOGS bring back some claustrophobic and vicious feeling of the late 70s PUNK era, and they manage to transform it to this day with tunes like "Down in Afghanistan", " Normal People" or "Living in the Past".Plus they have recorded two slower, but quite intensive tunes on this album, the IGGY/IDOLesque "Latex Love" and the darker than dark "I cannot Die".
Snotty vocals and a mean guitar, some thunder-like bass and Daichi Dogs`
powerful drum work - that´s what you can expect from "Old Habits Die Hard".

ASHTONES "Mainline Rocket"

MAINLINE ROCKETS are 11 scary songs recorded at Air Ape Studio and mastered at Midnight Studio (North of Nowhere).

Add a smooth touch of "Raw Power" and you'll get what 5 poor rock'n roll guys can do to help "cats from Oslo" to save Rock'n Roll..That's what is Rock!!

2008's Eat My Luck is The Bad Days' second full-length album and it's truly packed with catchy punkrock hymns, hard rockin' Rock'n'Roll riffs and just awesome guitar solos. There's something about the style of this band that hits you in the mark. Maybe it's playing great, compelling melodies way too rough to ever be played on the radio ? Classic Rock Magazine once considered The Bad Days Germany's "only sleazy Rock'n'Roll band", which isn't true, because there might be one or two more... but if you're into both - honest old-style punkrock AND hard rock - this album will give you one hell of a good time!!

"Everyone hears something different in The Lustkillers. Familiar but fresh, it's really just Rock 'n Roll and that's all the punks were trying to recreate in '77. Everyone's too fragile and suspicious now. The Lustkillers aren't afraid to be serious while letting go. It's about being yourself, honouring your heroes and spreading that Blank Generation/Post Punk Gospel." Giselle Harvard (The Harvard Journal of Rock)

BAD MACHINE "Surfin' in The City"

Finland’s nitro burnin’ Bad Machine.
Some nasty rock n roll with a Motorhead feel to it musicwise. This is down and nasty rock n roll with a raw edge to it. This isn't none of that poser rock from the 80's or any of that new rock crap on the radio. This is go for the throat ballsy rock that your mother hated. Mix Motorhead meeting old Aerosmith and just add a nasty, gritty attitude and you might find this band. Great riffs and just a nice presentation overall. This band rocks.

COWBOY PROSTITUTES "Swingin 'at The Fences"

Cowboy Prostitutes is a Rock band that combines the glam decadence of the 80s L.A. scene with the power and attitude of punk spiced with a touch of the finest heavy metal. With their new album "Swingin' at the fences" they go from direct songs like "Rock'n'Roll Jail" and "Pirate Town" with lyrics spat in your face a centimeter from your nose, to blood shaking ballads like "Down the drain" and the tragic "Roseline". Nicely wrapped in David Cederlöv's art work and mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö this album will be leaving permanent scars on you as if you jumped right through 10 meters of barbwire. Sure they're from Sweden, but they're not part of the so called "Swedish slease"... they are in a league of their own, love 'em or hate 'em... you won't forget them!

Just like an explosion, a bullet fired at point-blank range, the "sonic" attack of Sonic Assassin strikes right to the heart, taking no prisoners! Born from the remains of the legendary A-10 and Yage, cult band of the early '90.

ASHTONES "Hellfire and..... Paradise Falls"

This is the area where hoodlums like the HUMPERS,outcasts like the PAGANS,hustlers and junkies like the HEARTBREAKERS,living wrecks like the DEAD BOYS and jail birds like the CANDYSNATCHERS tend to meet and roams the cold,nightly outskirts of town. These tunes are the tails of the lost,the depraved,the shredded souls,the ripped-and-torn.

RAWHYPNOLS "Thank God We're Not Religious"

Rawhypnols from Sweden are back with a vengeance with their second full-length album.The revelation over the lack of religious beliefs has made them even happier meaner and more convinced to show the world how fun it is to be a lost soul in 2007.
Among rawhypnols musical influencens you will find everything between Hank Williams to Slayer,the lyrics will again tell nailbiting stories about the promiscuous life at the dark side of the spoon.
