LIMITED COLOURED VINYL LP!

Ninja Gun accomplishes something not many other bands are doing these days; writing catchy, melodic and well-thought out rock and roll songs. Ninja Gun’s Southern upbringing resonates throughout each song alongside a mischievous rebellious streak: the same mixture of discordant ideals that gave rise to rock and roll in the ‘40s and ‘50s. And while Ninja Gun’s music is packed with sing-along choruses, the lyrics often run deeper than the average radio-friendly hit. At times they are political, personal and often laced with cynical Southern commentary showcasing a great sense of humor that will shine through from stage, photo shoots, and late night sessions. From poignant political jabs from a self-proclaimed “rube” to songs about escaping the fate of life growing up in the only town you know. Chasing destiny to change the path of the working class routine. Keeping faith in something: be it love, hard times, family, friends or good tunes played from the heart on the front porch. “Restless Rubes” allows you to feel the plight of the Southern small town working class band. Musically they have more in common with 70’s power pop and Southern classic rock than punk rock, often turning gospelinspired melodies back on themselves with an attack from a powerful distorted riff, leaving you only to be captured later by the memory of a chorus you just can’t shake. “Restless Rubes” is pop perfection. It is clean, loud, dynamic, and truly classic! It’s a powerful pop album in its truest sense. This is a sleeper album that years from now will be passed on from friend to friend and timelessly enjoyed. Ninja Gun supported their album in Europe in march/april playing shows in the UK, Germany, Holland and Switzerland

Following up on the idea of close collaboration with other musicians and artists — something that was highly emphasized on the critically acclaimed album Matador — Matador Remixed feels like a natural and obvious next step for Arms and Sleepers. The latest release features 9 remixes by other artists and friends, and 1 remix by Arms and Sleepers themselves. Uzi & Ari, Lymbyc Systym, Amanda Rogers, Boy In Static/The Consulate General, The American Dollar, Nolens Volens, Thisquietarmy, Elika and Bogadiga all contribute and help create quite a diverse album, from snippets of R&B and club music to more mellow singer/songwriter moments to hypnotic electronica and trip hop--induced tracks. By the end of 44 minutes, it's clear that Matador Remixed is fully capable of standing on its own as a complete piece of music, independent of Matador and highlighting each of the artists' exceptional compositional skills. Every single track presents a unique and tasteful approach to song craft, making for a satisfying and complete listen from beginning to end. The feeling of nostalgia that is present throughout Matador still remains, but this time seen through quite a different lens — in fact, 10 different lenses each looking into quite a different direction. Matador Remixed is Arms and Sleepers' 11th release and the band's first remix album. It's also the 4th release in 6 months, a busy time period which has seen the band touring Europe and North America, completing a few remixes of their own, and putting out 4 releases including the second full-length album Matador, a split EP with The American Dollar From The Inland Sea, Matador Alternate Versions/B-Sides EP, and the aforementioned remix album. Arms and Sleepers return to Europe for a month-long tour in May 2010 promoting this latest release.

Incongruous soundscapes, constantly exhilarating, challenging and highly innovative music performed by Norway´s finest. TRINACRIA takes you across the border and into Neither-Neither land where beauty meets chaos. Feat. Members of ENSLAVED, FE-MAIL and EMMERHOFF. For the very first time on vinyl, presented on deluxe 180 gr vinyl, gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves artwork, including exclusive pressing of 100 units on gold vinyl. First pressing of 500 copies.

Trinacria was originally a composition by Ivar Bjørnson (Enslaved), Maja S. K. Ratkje and Hils Sofie Tafjord (both from Fe-mail), commissioned by Rikskonsertene for a concert series. The line-up was completed by Grutle Kjellson, Ice Dale (both from Enslaved), Iver Sandøy (Emmerhoff) and Espen Lien. In short: after working together briefly, the composition turned into a vital project which, after touring, became a fully welded band.

For fans of Enslaved ,Neurosis, Nachtmystium and / or Isis Combined with noise elements.

New single featuring ‘Don’t Ever Change’ from their forthcoming SONGS FOR BURNING LOVERS LP (out early summer 2010) and a brilliant cover of Nick Cave’s ‘Jack the Ripper’. BURNING LOVE features Chris Colohan (CURSED, LEFT FOR DEAD, RUINATION) on vocals. Definitely more punk than CURSED but still rooted stoner / doomy metal hardcore. LP coming out summer on DERANGED and a full US tour June to September with Relapse recording artist COLISEUM.

Second Hand’s debut album, Reality, is widely acclaimed as one of the best psychedelic albums to have emerged from the UK in the late 1960s. This follow-up, originally issued in April 1971, is a similar milestone in the progressive genre. Originally recorded as the soundtrack to an obscure underground movie, it’s a dark, dense and challenging masterwork combining uniquely experimental compositions with wild organ playing and complex rhythms. This is its definitive vinyl edition, remastered from original tapes and containing the rare track ‘Funeral’, which only appeared on a small number of original copies. The release comes complete with a gatefold sleeve offering rare photographs, detailed liner notes and an introduction from its producer, the legendary Vic Keary.
