Dischord Records
Dischord News....
The Crown Hate Ruin have just recorded a full LP at WGNS studios (the
recording studio run by Geoff Turner and Charles Bennington)
Lungfish are done with their new Dischord release entitled "Sound In
Time"--it will be dischord number 97 and has 10 rocking songs with their
new bass player Sean Meadows (June of 44 and Sonora Pine). They delayed
the initial recording because they went off to Sicily, Italy for the
weekend for a festival. After finishing mixing their LP., they will meet
up with Fugazi for about 10 shows. They did some on their own before and
plan some more for after the Fugazi jaunt.
The Make*Up (with the members Michelle Mae, Ian Svenonius, James Canty,
and Steve Gamboa.) Just recorded with Guy Picciotto, what hopefully will
be a full LP. The Make*Up will meet up with Fugazi on tour and do about 10
shows together including the show that John Loder- THE MAN- attended on
October 10th with Shellac in Chicago, IL.
Branch Manager are on a two month tour of the United States. They're going
to hook up again on this tour with Fugazi down in Texas. They rock, be
warned.
Trusty are also on a US tour Until the end of November but the venues are
still looking a bit sketchy, sorry nothing solid to tell on that.
Jury Rig who you may have read about earlier, ahve broken up recently but
are thinking about releasing a 7" of stuff recorded earlier this year in
September (recorded with Juan from The Warmers).
Some other new bands.....
The Flagships with Mark Haggerty and Christina Calle; B-Bender is a
project/real ? band with Joey Aronstamn and some other folks. Those two
bands just played at The Black Cat with Blue Tip.
Some newly recorded or released 7"s....
Norman Mayer Group, Ohio Blue Tip, Sevens, The Warmers and Lungfish (this
one's a split label release with Dischord called "10 East"). The Norman
Mayer 7" is also a "half label" release with Dischord, #102.5. They have a
new drummer, Greg Schebish. Katy Sawhill no longer drums for them.
Ohio Blue Tip's Jason Farrell, one of the band members, does a lot of the
artwork for the record covers here at Dischord. The other members of Ohio
Blue Tip are Dave Stern, Jake Kump, and Zac Eller.
Sevens are Bobby Sullivan (ex Soulside and Rain Like the Sound of Trains--
remember?), Mark Sullivan (ex King Face--remember?!?) and Josh LaRue (ex
Rain) Like the Sound of Trains) and Chris Farrell (ex Hoover). They want
to do a big US tour in February 1996. Bobby and Mark Sullivan are starting
up a book distribution thing with lots of cool anarchist books and stuff
THEY like and think YOU should buy when THEY go on tour. I think it's a
dandy idea.
The Warmers include another Dischord Employee- Alec Mackaye, plus Amy
Farina and Juan Luis Carrera. They want to tour the US or parts of it-
through November. They have a couple shows with Sonic Youth around here.
Look into the tour section. There should be some dates and cities for that
somewhere there.
Red Eye (Sharon Cheslow & Tim Green ex-NOU) have a new 7" out that's
Dischord 99.75. It was recorded in Tim's basement studio at the Red House
in Olympia.
Cynthia Connolly's here and has a couple photo shows going around of the
DC people with their cars. ...I keep on taking photos- so I guess I'll
keep on doing stuff with them until I get tired of it. December and
January me and Pat Graham have a photo show at the Fuel cafe in
Milwaukeee, Wisconsin. We hope to have the same show in Minneapolis in
March or April of 1996. I have some photos at a music festival in Sydney
Australia the first week of January, 1996. I will also have some photos in
a bigger show at the White Columns gallery in NYC March 29th through May
12th. that's about all I can think of now... You can write Cynthia at
caconnolly@aol.com. No junk mail, please. Thanks. Check out the Dischord

================================================================
Take two parts Stooges, one part MC5, one part Misfits, and pepper it with the
best 60s garage punk and you've got ADAM WEST! ADAM WEST was formed in
December 1991, when singer/songwriter Jake Starr decided to form a 60s garage
band. After getting together with some friends and other musicians, ADAM WEST
started gigging around Washington, D.C. We soon built up quite a local
following and decided to lay down three songs at WGNS Studio in Arlington,
Va., with Geoff Turner (Gray Matter, Three, Senator Flux) producing. On the
strength of this tape, we began playing more frequently. We have had very
successful shows at the 9:30 Club, Black Cat, and the 15 Minutes Club in
Washington; as well as shows in New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and
Virginia. We've also received excellent reviews in popular periodicals (i.e.
the Washington Post, Washington City Paper, Scene Magazine etc.) for our
recordings and live performances. We went back to WGNS Studio, and from these
sessions the songs "i get a sensation" and "little sister" were released in
June 1993, as our first 7" single on our own label, fandango records, and
distributed by Get Hip Records in Pittsburgh. In September 1993, we released
a special fan-club-only 7" single of the Misfits song "cough/cool." In June
1994, Messiah Complex Records in Australia released the Dance Session EP, a
four-song 7" including "vehicle," and distributed it worldwide. We've
appeared on the cable TV show "Slumber Party" where we did three songs, and on
the TV show "The Attic" where we performed "beauty." We've also gotten
frequent play on WHFS-99.1 FM, Washington's only progressive radio station.
Our tune "love like a stone" appears on the D.C.-band compilation, Capitol
Crisis CD, released by Cyclops Records and our debut CD containing all new
material will be released in the spring 1996 on fandango. With the current
line-up of Jake Starr (vocals), Johnny Epiphone (guitar), Steve (bass), and
Tom Barrick (drums), we're sure to be playing soon near you! Please check out

Thanks!

UNDERGROUND RECORDS SEEKING PARTNERS
Along with the Underground Agent Program, which has been extremely
successful with more than 40 individuals now working the streets in their
areas, Underground has decided to seek individuals or corporations
that are intersted in becoming vested partners with Underground Records, Inc.
Underground is a private company operated by one individual (moi). Besides
this 'zine and it's graphical counterparts, the company distributes over 300 indie
labels, a couple dozen distributor's catalogs, thousands of independent artists,
and also does DIY projects for new bands, and booking/marketing/promotions.
Needless to say, for one person, even with a diverse expanding network, this
is a little much for me to keep up. I'm being honest when I say I work 16-18
hours a day seven days a week, always more than 100 hrs a week. On top of
this I draw no salary...this is strickly for the love of music!!! Since beginnning
in 1982, except for some very short periods, I've done this without a budget
whatsoever....well boys and girls time has come to get more people into the
program!!! Operational capital is the #1 problem, if you've ever booked bands or
produced brand new bands you know what kind of profit margin there is...
Even in distribution, after expenses, there is not a big windfall, because
everything made has to go back into keeping things running. So I've decided
to offer people and companies taking part in the network the opportunity to
become a full partner and own a piece of the Underground...ONLY through
this fanzine is this offer extended, I will not sell out to some broker or big
corporation in full....
Underground Records, Inc. will remain a private company..No advertising
or unsolicited offers will extend this notice..To contact me for a prospectus:

Hijokaidan/Trance/Allegory Chapel Ltd
Live at the Starlight
CHS-1
This was recorded during the first U.S. visit by Alchemy Records band
Sekiri. Jojo and Junko from Hijokaidan came along (since Jojo operates
Alchemy), and were convinced to do a session. It was duly recorded and two
segments released on this single, limited to 500 copies. Sold out quite a
while ago.
Trance
Guitar Noise EP
CHS-2
Side A of this is a solo guitar improv freakout, which isn't really "noise"
as the word has come to be thought of now, but it's still pretty noisy. Side
B is indeed noise, recorded live at Oakland's Heinz Club (closed shortly
after the recording) opening for C.C.C.C. Trance for that recording was
Mason Jones and Elden M. of Allegory Chapel Ltd. Limited to 500 copies.
Crash Worship
Pyru
CHS-3
Three tracks by San Diego's Crash Worship, two of which are very different
mixes of the title song which also appears on their Triplemania II CD. 1500
copies were pressed, all of which are sold out.
Gravitar
Evil Monkey Boy
CHS-4
The first release by Michigan's Gravitar, two hunks of their
guitar-drum-voice sludge. Heavy stuff which makes their name quite
appropriate. Both sides end in neighbor-threatening lock grooves. 500
copies.
Melt-Banana
Hedgehog
CHS-5
The first release by Japan's Melt-Banana, with six brief tracks on one
single! Their patented chika-chika- chika sound with ultra-fast
high-speed-turn guitar-driven chirping. Amazing. Limited to 500 copies, sold
out.
=========================================================
Los Angeles Office:
On March 1st Underground Records will be coming to Los Angeles to search of a space
to put a small office and an 8-track analog recording studio to do demos and DIY projects;
we'll also be meeting with a few individuals who have expressed interest in becoming Underground Agents
in the Los Angeles/S. Cal areas...Anyone with leads on a CHEAP small space, such as a storefront or
abandoned warehouse suitable for the office and studio, please contact UGR before the end of February,
the same goes for anyone interested in being an underground representative in the S. Cal. region...
By now you outta know the telephone and e-mail address!!!!
Till Next Time....Keep It Kickin!!!!!!

Hello everybody,
I'm Christophe Collard, I'm 18 years old and I live in St-Job (near
Antwerp), Belgium.
I'm sorry, but my English isn't very good, I hope you'll understand
everything.
I'm a dEUS-fan for years now, and I think i have all their CD's. Now I'm
looking for bootlegs and things like that. I have already some cassettes
i recorded myself, I'll send a list in a few days. Maybe we can trade?
I'm also looking for bass-tabs of dEUS (and other bands). I only play
bass for about 1 month, and it would be fun to play some dEUS-songs.
Maybe someone interested in this: Thursday 28th December 'Kiss My Jazz'
(=new band of Rudy Trouve(=ex-guitarist of dEUS, but you already know
that I guess.)) is playing in Antwerp. The concert is FREE and it's in
'Cartoon's Cafe' near the Grote Markt at 23h. I'll be there!!
Well, that's all for now. I hope I'll get a mail from somebody soon.
Bye!!
Christophe.
This is my address: Christophe.Collard@rug.ac.be

HELL YEAH! RECORDS
Welcome to the Devil's playground! HELL YEAH was started in 1991
by the folks at Dionysus as the home for sounds that were a
different . Hell Yeah burns with everything from obnoxious punk
rock to mentally disturbed lounge jazz to our favorite underground LA bands!
Hell Yeah's first release was the soundtrack to the low-budget exploitation
video trash titled "Graveyard Rot" by Fearless Leader, a local Kiss inspired
punk band known for their outrageous antics and messy, naked stage shows.
Since then, Hell Yeah has unleashed many local LA bands such as Hot Damn,
Black Angel's Death Song, The Outsideinside, Butt Trumpet (now on
Chrysalis), The Bottom Feeders, Woodpussy, Honk If Yer Horny and other
crazies. We've also spawned platters by non-locals such as The Smears (from
Bloomington Indiana), Thorazine (from Philly), Hoss (from Australia) and The
American Ruse (from the UK). Hell Yeah releases are available directly from
Dionysus mail-order.
Hell Yeah releses can be mail-ordered directly from Dionysus Records.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bands:
Hot Damn
"High Heels Slut" CD/LP - (HELL31) Release date: July 21
Hold on to your hormones, HOT DAMN is coming (all over the place!) This band
takes our two favorite passions, punk rock and sex, to their musical
extreme! And on top of this wall of sound is the voice of lead singer and
bassist Zebra. She'll put you under her spell, then tear you to shreds!
Zebra was a founding member of Butt Trumpet but left early on. She has taken
with her the sheer power, in-your-face humor, finger in the air attitude,
and has added her charm, sensuality, wit and high voice. Supplying the
shrapnel guitars are Allan Clark (formerly of The Lazy Cowgirls and Fearless
Leader) and local lingerie model Christina. Drummer Bob Lee (also in Claw
Hammer) supplies the powerful punk pounding! With all the power of your
favorite three chord punk band, all the social finesse of Blondie's "Rip Her
To Shreds", all the quirkiness of X-Ray Spex and all the fine verbiage of a
bathroom wall, Hot Damn will knock you over!
The Outsideinside
"Six Point Six" CD/LP - (HELL 25) plus the S/T 10" and a single.
If you are looking for a souped-up, supercharged garage punk band with a
psychedelic bent, The Outsideinside are your ticket to a roller coaster ride
through hell! The group was formed in late 1992 and has gone through some
twists and turns due to changing membership. Their releases (from 1993)
reflect their love of manic garage (as witnessed on their debut 7") and an
experiment in the druggy side of the garage (on their s/t 10".) Their 1994
classic, "Six Point Six" is a whopping 15 song powerhouse of mesmerizing
proportions, not intended for the faint of heart! Expect new singles and
proportions, not intended for the faint of heart! Expect new singles and
comp tracks from the new line-up on other labels such as Get Hip,
Man's Ruin, Spun Records, Pittsbull, Pin-Up Records, Dog Meat and
Gaga Goodies. The new sound is leaner and meaner but you can dance
to it!
Black Angel's Death Song
"Due Ragazze" CD - (HELL23), "Sinning With A Policy" CD - (HELL06)
plus various singles
LA's favorite underground pals BADS play great songs. Not good songs, not
LA's favorite underground pals BADS play great songs. Not good songs, not
OK, songs, but GREAT songs! This band is the pop group for the 90s!
Simplistic, memorable and sharp as a knife!!
The Bottom Feeders
"Spit Battle" 10" mini-Lp - (HELL21)
Confrontational hard as nails rock-punk by drunks for drunks (and other fans
of pure rock 'n roll!) The Bottom Feeders play it loud and raw with
blistering energy. Unpretentious, furious, and they certainly do not take
themselves too seriously. Once these guys start rockin, the songs pull you
right in and you remember 'em long after the gig is over!
Yard Trauma
"Oh My God" LP/CD - (HELL17)
Yard Trauma is one of the most underrated bands of the 80s! Their initial
output came out in the early 80s at the very beginning of the neo-60s
movement and became classics of that era. They went on to make 5 official
albums (and never made the same one twice). "Oh My God" is their last,
finished right before their breakup. This album burns with melodic vocals,
walls of guitar and machine gun drums. A full-on punk rock assault that will
leave you breathless! Produced by Mr. Brett (Epitaph) Gurewitz.

=========================================================
Demo/New Release Reviews:
Dee Bovee: Demo
At first listen I thought I had gotten ahold of some Janet Jackson demos someone
snuck out of the studio...after a few minutes I settled down though and realized Dee
has a nice, pretty voice, with enough power and range to put things where they needed to be.
One cut, Rise Up Hero, was an Armed Forces Radio hit back in the days of Desert Storm
(considering Iraq now has a "functional" chemical warfare arsenal, you wonder what the
hell all that was about!!). Dee probably will fit in well on R&B/Urban radio, although
on the indie circuit most folks would record the latest punk craze over this tape. Oh Well....
Hardluck 7: Astrological Reverberation
Despite the goofy cover (an old lady on a front porch, looking much like the folks do around
here in Adairsville), Hardluck 7 are a very tight unit, lots of metal guitar and a singer that sounds
like he drank ALL the whiskey in the club before closing time!! The rhythm section of Syd
Monie (?) on bass and Kit Jamboa (sounds like a cajun dish) on skins (that's what the credits
say) are a powerhouse, pumping out grooves that seem to be made for guitarist Al Tomey to
soar over. The band seems a little confused, one song is like 80's LA metal, the next like
Death Angel, then into a funk piece, it would seem the disjoined styles leave the listener
confused. Best thing would have to be the guitar solos, if Joe Satriani did mucho chemicals
he'd be there!! Even with the mix-n-match interplay, the tape overall is pretty consistent.
Clue: Spike Remover
A strong indie release from Russia's Clue, power punk with a singer from Johnny Rotten
school 101, Spike Remover brings out the old school and streamlines things with great
melodies, with NO guitar solos. Since Bad Religion is no more, Clue has stepped in to fill the
deep void left by their departure. The tape came without a track list or any info on the
band (except a cool letter that says "Underground f*#kin' Rules, hope to make it to the States!")
so I can only guess at what the titles would be, and I won't make a complete fool of myself by trying
to wing it!! Should they ever make it over, NYC should be their home, then everyone would
SWEAR they came from the UK!! One song I'm pretty sure about the title, Temptation, is a sure fire
college radio smash. The production is excellent, much different from most stuff out of
the Kingdom of the Red Bear, which stuff usually sounds like Herman's Hermits on their
2nd fifth of Stoli. I seem to remember a band called Clue back in the early 80's that played
at a club here in Atlanta called McGruders (thank GOD that place is gone, along with most of
those posuer bands). I'm glad the boys from Russia kick those has beens ass!!! Next May
Day the Kremlin outta hire these guys to head up the festivities, man would it be a day to
remember!! I could see them struttin around with a couple of ICBM's cruisin' past!!
Iron Maiden: The X Factor
Yup, they're still around, minus Bruce Dickenson, on that label with ALL the 80's leftovers,
CMC (new Wasp...well, never mind). This record has the typical Maiden sound, but what
really shoots things down is that most of the songs are mid-slow tempo (no Aces High here)
which makes you want to put this disc in that "listen to when bored only" bin. Ex-Wolfsbane
screamer Blaze Bayley never quite reaches the top of his range, I could've used a couple
"Pretty Baby's" to light some fire under this CD. Only the true metal outlets (radio, video)
are even touching this record, so unless you are a real Maiden fan, save your money for that
'new" Slaughter from CMC...OOOO' Boy!!
Rolling Stones: Stripped
Why? What a complete waste of time!! Guys and girls it's time for Mick and the boys to
call it quits, because this mediocre CD-I can only have been made to pad their pockets. To
think this is the same band that did Some Girls, makes you feel as old as Keith Richards
looks (and no doubt feels).
