Fur Cups For Teeth "Allergic to Fur" CD
New York City's FCFT is... "Jiving and juking, screaming and trashing, laughing and sneering like a post-apocalyptic Supremes meets Le Tigre, the three girls of FCFT are easily the most originaly and uh, ballsy, performers in the City today." - jenyk.com
This debut CD was produced by Hillary Johnson from Crowns on 45.

Half-Seas Over self-titled EP CD
HALF-SEAS-OVER put the dance back in dance party. Their sound often gets compared to the likes of Devo, The Need, and The Raincoats. They combine elements of 8-bit Nintendo theme songs, new wave, metal and disco to form a delicious sound your ears will keep coming back to! Their shows have become legendary, incorporating dance interludes, freestyle rapping, choreographed moves, performance art, and sheer insanity! Don't miss them on tour in the midwest and east coast in March. This EP is a collection of early songs recorded by our friend Tara Jane O'Neil, that hints at the mellower sides of HALF-SEAS-OVER.

Myles of Destruction "Doom Town" EP (CD-R)
This is an amazing 4 song ep from the Philly based trio. It's grindcore but definitely breaking sonic ground with it's guitarless approach and addition of a violin. The collection of songs are unique and original and of course far ahead of it's time...a big beautiful mess, ear singeing and heartbreaking all at once.

"One Year Later...It Still Hurts" (compilation)
Soon after the Genoa riots the Italian queer community felt they should support no-global statements and actions against every kind of violence as used by those who hold economical (and rhetorical) power to repress and erase cultural differences, also including those about sexuality and gender identity of course. Being sure that queer policies and antagonistic points of view are only enriching the no-global experience spectrum, from political activism to art and performance, we asked different queer artists from all over the world to express their feelings about the Genoa event by letting all out into music and words. Be this the beginning of a new era, we hope we've found the proper soundtrack to it! The compilation contains tracks by: Lena Zuhlke, She Devils, Lords of Lightspeed, Running Ragged, Best Revenge, The Plath, Scott Free, Navy, Emme, Motherfuckart Prod., Egokid, Mirah and Maria Nascenti.

Patsy "In a Briefcase"
Patsy are an upcoming band (although already an LA favorite for a while), passionate about setting the standard for the next phase of music, without the superficiality of "all girl band." The music is real. It's intelligent, witty and refreshing, while the lyrics linger as they move about the harmony. Marcie, Patricia and Kerry will knock your socks off with this devastatingly amazing, and incredibly underappreciated album. Get this!!!

The Quails "Atmosphere"

The Quails "We Are the Quails"
This SF threesome play angular pop, agitpop, or whatever you wanna describe it that will make you wanna dance your ass off. A fascinating fusion of punk, pop, folk and everything in between. The lyrics speak of " issues of personal, sexual and gender politics in the context of a crowded and stressed urban landscape." The all-star lineup include Seth (Circus Lupus, Antimony, Evolution Revolution, Vile Cherubs), Juliana (Electrolettes) and Jen (Cha Cha Cabaret, Miss Lady Hand Grenade, Rastro, Haymaker). Essential.

The Prima Donnas "Drugs Sex & Discotheques"
The last of the great, late-'80s keyboard bands or first of the great, late-'90s, retro-'80s keyboard bands? You decide. This long-lost testament to the glorious word of unholy synth-punk as translated by three young scholars from Sussex, UK, had been rumoured for many years, but no one believed it to be true. Their story is famous and a little incredible. After leaving the confines of their orphanage in England and stowing away on a submarine to America, the boys found themselves in Texas and proceeded to educate the masses on how to get shitfaced and puke all over your keyboard while still looking unbelievably sexy. 15 tracks of disco decadence recorded in Monte Carlo, Bristol, Sussex, London and on a hot-air balloon circling the globe from 1983 to 1998.

Ruby Falls "Heroines"
This is Ruby Falls' second full-length which was released on Silver Girl Records. Less aggressive and longer than the first, but just as good.
$10
Sextional self-titled
The Sextional play agro-sex rock, a hazardous by-product of a sexual environment. Emily Kingan of The Haggard, Tami Hart solo extraordinaire, and Nicki Nevlin of Rotophone met in Los Angeles one October night at a hot tub party. They shaped a powerful bond of love, sex, and music that cannot be quenched. The sound is strong, screaming, and smooth. Haggard growls and syrupy melodies play over punchy bass lines, dissonant guitar and pounding drums. Now, when the time is right, the three meet again to rekindle their passion. This EP is the Sextional's first 6 songs.

$8
Semiautomatic "The Trebuchet"
Semiautomatic's amazing debut CD. Akiko and Rop (PeeChees) create some absolutely great music here, self-described as breakbeat punk or electro-punk. You can call it what you like but it's undeniably achingly beautiful and will have you on the dancefloor, even if it's in your bedroom. "7:00 and 7 Stops" is a classic in my book, being one of the most honest and gritty songs I've heard in a very long time. In the words of Akiko (and Rop), "yo baby fuck that just freestyle."
$10
Squab "What Happened Then"
Creating something all their own, the multi-instrumental, multi-dimensional, androgynous ladies of Squab are a force to be reckoned with. Their music is a mélange of James Brown funk with a Germs twist that grabs your soul, teases your ears, elevates your hearts and compels your ass to dance!

Winterbrief "Take the Town"
Get this album now! A great release from Intellectos records and the amazing Winterbrief, hailing from Pennsylvania, PA. You'll surely hear more about them in the near future as they are scorching through Europe. I'll dispense with any comparisons but definitely for fans of bis, le tigre and the like...but they've surely got their own style and flair.
