AOTEA
– You Can Call Me Hyena (Sound Devastation) – Another slice, 53 seconds

7:
SHRAG – Mark E.Smith (WIAIWYA) – I love this band and judging
by the response when we played it two weeks ago, so do you. Shrag are from
Brighton, this the other side of their debut double A side single, it’s
limited to a pressing of just 300 and it’s gloriously shouty spunky girl/boy
punk– how brilliant is this!!! I think most of the 300 pressing can be
found in the Rough Trade shop, be quick now - www.myspace.com/shrag
8:
PINK
RIOT – Give Up (Fake Product) B-side of the teenage punk rock Elstree
(Herts) band’s new (debut?) single, chainsaw riffs and shouty vocals, over
on the a-side there’s a contradictory new wave electro (kraut-rock?) edge.
Plenty of substance here.- go explore over at www.myspace.com/pinkriot1
or www.fakeproductrecords.com
9:
INDIAN
JEWELRY - Rat Noise (Monitor) – A six second track from the excellent
new album Invasive Exotics. They’re from Houston Texas and they seem to
have a core membership of three people along with around 25 collaborators.
Tribal beats, drones, post rock guitars and all kinds of experimental dance(ish)
textures to explore – www.swarmofangels.com
10:
INDIAN
JEWELRY – Come Closer (Monitor) – Something a little more substantial
from the rather experimental US outfit we just told you about a minute
or two ago. Seems they’ve been “gnashing their teeth through the bible
belt for years”. This is their debut album and they were previously knows
under such names as Swarm Of Angels, Corpses Of Waco, Turquoise Diamonds,
Perpetual War Party Band (to name but a few) and no, I didn’t spell the
band name wrong – www.monitorrecords.com
11:
THE
DISCHARGERS – Lower Than Thou (demo) – Ah, old school blasting (proper)
thrashing crustoid hardcore metal from Scruff and his gang. That’s right,
we sent out our tentacles and found that man from Hellbastard (alright,
he found us on My Space) and here he is singing about having a headache
for 37 years – well what the hell do you expect Scruff? Still as uncompromising
as ever, go grab yourself a glorious headache – www.myspace.com/thedischargers
12:
WEAPONS
– I Want To Save The World (Wicked Old Lady) – The London band have just
dropped their much anticipated debut self-titled album. It’s a melting
pot of street wise multi-cultural, multi-sexual Ragecore metal, laced clever
skanking indie rock, hip-hop, rap, soul and slabs of all kinds of things
– the album is out on Sept 18, the band are playing quite a few UK dates
right now – all the details can be found over at www.weaponsmusic.com
13:
TO-MERA
– Obscure Oblivion (Candlelight) - A track from the forthcoming (out
Sept 11) album from To-Mera, the rather epic prog/goth metal band formed
by the rather dramatically voiced Julie Kiss (ex of Hungarian prog metal
band Without Face) and one time Extreme Noise Terror/Disgust/Mussolini
Headkick man Lee Barrett. – this six minutes plus track is typical of the
album’s expansive sound/progressive metal adventure. www.to-mera.com
/ www.candlelightrecords.co.uk
14:
JEREMY
SIMMONS – One More Time (demo) – Who is he? Where did it come from?
Arrived here in the post from Ohio (via our Americano spy), we liked it,
we played it and now we have to go find out more – we’ll let you know when
we do.
15:
GABBA
– Hey Ho Disco (Download) – Ramones meets Abba to make some Abba, Abba
songs welded together with Ramones songs. “GABBA were created by Stig Honda,
the eccentric Japanese professor at the Osaka Rock n' Roll High School.
In search of the formula for pop perfection, he came upon the idea of fusing
the raw energy of New York punk (Ramones) with pretty melodic harmonies
of Scandinavian pop (ABBA) and GABBA was bjorn. His young proteges Geeky,
Anneky, Bjoey, Bee Bee & Abby were taught the 3 chords and 4 rules
of Rock n' Roll, and despatched with a pocketful of songs on a quest for
worldwide discopunk domination...” The band are playing the Camden Purple
Turtle very soon. Full details over at www.myspace.com/gabbauk
16:
BLACK
TULIPS – The Dogs’ Home (Scalpel) – Lead track from the Brighton band’s
new single that came out last Monday – and single of the week this very
week on the Organ website at www.organart.com – find out more about their
high-tea, Sunday cakes and high heels over at www.theblacktulips.com
17:
YOU
AND THE ATOM BOMB – Marvellous Transmissions Of Star Craft (Sink And
Stove) – They’ve got a new six track album out, they make beautiful high-wire
(very English) math-pop new-wave bendy pronk and their new album Shake
Shake Hello is gloriously beautiful, they’re from Bristol and you can expect
more on the Other Rock Show next week when Marina explores awkward time
signatures . www.sinkandstove.co.uk
18:
SLITS
– FM (download thing) Ah we’ve been needing an excuse to play some classic
Slits for some time, and the lyrics of this track rather fit with Resonance
FM (as well as being a good way to drop in talk of Rob Simone’s Headroom
show and all his talk over the FM waves of conspiracy and who knows what).
And the excuse for finally playing The Slits on the Organ hour? They’re
playing London. When? 9 Aug, Camden Underworld, - ARi UP + The SLITS,
CHELSEA and THE DUEL
19:
COLLAPSE
– Phantom Phantom (Fake Product) – Already favourites in Organland, this
is the English band’s first ‘proper’ release. Harsh uncompromising hardboiled
post-rock noisefeast of a self titled mini album – www.collapsexxx.co.uk
20:
PATCHWORK
GRACE – Lovely (Trash Pit) – We played the A-side of their single last
time and got loads of mail asking about them, truth is I meant to play
the b-side – so here it is, now I’m not sure, I love both sides. They’re
from Nottingham, they’re gloriously trashy and edgy and shouty and she
knows how to yell and her name is Tori Trash – www.patchworkgrace.com
– which side shall we play next? I think we’ll book them a gig...
21:
TRANSISTOR
SIX - And there goes the theme we borrowed and it’s time to go
home again...
