DIARRHEA PLANET “Loose Jewels” LP+DNLD
We are proud to announce the release of "Loose Jewels", the debut from one of Nashville's favorite bands, Diarrhea Planet! SPIN Magazine raves about the first single, "Warm Ridin'": "The track is a taut, '70s-style rocker, the sort of jam meant to be blasted on the system of an old Camaro that's barreling down the spine of suburbia. Its bouncy guitars are underpinned by some thunderous bass -- think the Romantics, taken on a desert rock acid trip with Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme."
"I'm not sure when I first saw Diarrhea Planet play live, but I know what really struck me about them was how much fun they had playing," Jake Orrall tells SPIN. "The music completely reflects that image too, just a bunch of bros having a great time. It's a beautiful thing."
Ham1 – The Underground Stream LP + DNLD
It comes with a free digital download of the entire LP!!! We are proud to release Ham1’s third album almost exactly a year after their last release, the lo-fi, eclectic and winning The Captain's Table (on Orange Twin). Like its predecessor, The Underground Stream is a blend of surf rock instrumentals, sleepy vocals, and surrealist lyrics, as Willingham is joined by the usual Ham1 suspects: Eric Harris (Elf Power, Olivia Tremor Control), Jacob Morris, and Chris Sugiuchi, with additional contributions from Lucas Jensen (Venice is Sinking) and Jason NeSmith (Casper & the Cookies), who helped engineer the album.
Heavy Cream “Danny” LP+DNLD
Hot off the sold out debut 7” EP, Heavy Cream return with their debut full-length vinyl LP “Danny”.
The LP comes with a free digital download of the entire album so you can put it on your ipod or computer too.
Produced by JEFF The brotherhood’s Jake Orrall, the album is heavy on fast, fun and irresistable hooks like fan favorites “Tina”, Lava Lamp”, and “Hawkwound”. The first single, “Watusi”, feels like the kind of song that was made to make the summer last well into November. Catch Heavy Cream on tour all year!
HEAVY CREAM “SUPER TREATMENT” LP
Well, here it is. Super Treatment! The new album from Heavy Cream. Just when you were beginning to think the future of underground music belonged to MicroKorgs and looped nonsense, Nashville’s Heavy Cream are back with a new album to remind you that the two and a half minute rock and roll blast is alive and well.
The new album (produced by Ty Segall and recorded by Eric Bauer in San Francisco) doesn’t have a song longer than three minutes, but every track on Super Treatment packs the garage punk punch Heavy Cream created on 2010’s Danny and then some.
With Tiffany Minton now on drums, and guest bass player Seth Sutton, Super Treatment was given the Segall Treatment with songs like ’79 and Prison Shanks clear examples of the bands decision to soak their songs in distortion and fuzz.
More Details
"The three ladies and one guy that comprise Heavy Cream have crafted a record that is a savage, pounding slice of garage punk. This is some vicious, attitude-laden music that makes a lot of recently-released garage seem weak and tepid in comparison. Guitarist Mimi’s fuzz tones are massive and bludgeoning, drawing inspiration not just from the The Stooges, but from ancient metal like Blue Cheer. It’s the type of sound that blows out eardrums and amps, and definitely works in giving the band a leg up on the competition. It also helps that lead vocalist Jessica has the right snotty tone to her voice, while drummer Tiffany and bassist Seth maintain a blistering rhythm. In a genre where many of their peers are toned down copies of a copy, it’s cool to see that some are still keeping it wild and woolly. Hopefully, they won’t tone it down anytime soon, because that would wreck this awesome sound they have." -VERBICIDE
HEAVY CREAM/RTX SPLIT 7″ (GLOW VINYL!)
HERE IT IS! The long awaited split 7" co-released by VOLCOM. A brand new track from each band on super cool GLOW IN THE DARK vinyl! limited and hand numbered to 1000, we don't have a lot of these so grab em quick!

JEFF THE BROTHERHOOD “LIVE AT THIRD MAN”
This is the totally kick-ass JEFF The Brotherhood Live at Third Man Records 12", recorded straight to tape, and boy does it sound amazing. Incredible fat warm recording of an as-then high point performance by the brothers Orrall. They've dressed it up a bit in a white sleeve with hand-glued xerox, with an additional plastic outer sleeve. Here's the setlist: U Got The Look, Heavy Damage, Mellow Out, I’m a Freak, Heavy Days, Shredder, Bone Jam, Dreamscape, The Tropics, Mind Ride, Beastmaster 420. Played by JEFF The Brotherhood, Produced by Jack White, Recorded by Vance Powell, and enjoyed by all.
JEFF THE BROTHERHOOD “THE BROTHERHOOD OF LIGHT”
"The Brotherhood Of Light" is a collection of previously released but out of print odds and ends. There is Side One (21:40) and there is Side Two (22:45). There is no silence. Black vinyl.
JEFF The BROTHERHOOD “UPSTAIRS AT UNITED” 12″
It sold out across the country on Record Store Day, and we've got the last of them. When we sell out, they are gone, gone, gone!
On October 18th, 2011, JEFF The Brotherhood were joined by William Tyler (Tompkins Square), Loney Hutchins (Cleft Records) and Joey Plunket in recording Volume 3 of the Upstairs at United series. Each song in this session was recorded in a single take direct to ¼ inch tape then cut at 45 RPM for the ultimate listening experience.
JEFF The Brotherhood, the sibling duo of Jake & Jamin Orrall show their prog rock side on this recording. While the recording consists of only three songs those songs totalled enough time that they rocked out until they literally ran out of tape (as can be heard at the end of ''In Space No One Can Hear You Scream, Part II').' While traditionally a two piece, JEFF The Brotherhood, was joined in this session by William Tyler on guitar, Loney Hutchins on keys and crazy space sounds, and Joey Plunket on bass. The recording features an 11 minute version of tour favorite ''I'm A Freak'' (Wicked Lady), an 11 minute cover of Hawkwind's ''Master Of The Universe'' and the 8 minute improvisational jam ''In Space No One Can Hear You Scream''.
JEFF The Brotherhood “Whatever I Want” 7″
From our friends down the street at Third Man Records comes another in their "blue series" of 7"s. Here's how they describe it: "JEFF the Brotherhood. You know them, you love them, you’re ready to propose marriage to them. Their exclusive Blue Series single for Third Man is almost 12 minutes of godhead drone jams. The a-side of “Whatever I Want” plods along like the sickest things the Melvins have ever done, while the b-side cover of Tiger B. Smith’s “Everything I Need” is raw chugging punk rock with attitude to spare. The video for “Whatever I Want” was directed by Third Man’s in-house photog Jo McCaughey and is sick and twisted in all the best ways." Click HERE to check out the vid!

Here's a few words from the critics: "Postadolescent bros dig into the sweet spot between punk and hard rock." (Spin) "Epic by name,
More Details
likewise by scope, JEFF: The Brotherhood features two actual, no-kidding brothers, Jake and Jamin Orrall, pounding minimalist punk-psych from whichever surface squeals loudest." (Village Voice) “Just try to get through one of their sets without stomping your foot and pumping your fist." (Nylon Magazine) "Jeff the Brotherhood brings a garage-rock attack to '70s stoner metal, sounding something like Queens of the Stone Age if they recorded a tribute album to the Standells or some other Nuggets rock band." (Entertainment Weekly) "JEFF the Brotherhood are two brothers whom we have grown to love as our own. Jake and Jamin hail from Nashville, TN but share psychedelic mayhem wherever they roam." (theTripwire) "Right now it doesn't get any better than rock team JEFF The Brotherhood. (Nashville Scene) "Your friendly punk pals find a real soundsystem, walk scrungy line between Melvins and Ramones." (Rolling Stone) "They jam econo. They sound like they were teleported from a time when Rivers Cuomo still wrote songs we adored and our biggest concern in life was whether or not we'd get invited to a party before we were in college." (RCRD LBL) "JEFF the Brotherhood tore everyone's face off with Sabbath-y monster blues metal." (Black Book) "These brothers are unassumingly talented, and their music, as well as their passion to create it, is infectious." (Exclaim) “JEFF the Brotherhood is a throwback to the nights when you rode around in your buddy?s Camaro, getting mellow on that patented combination of High Life and bong hits, listening to a brand of rock and roll that didn?t pretend to be more than it was - the soundtrack to a good time. (nyc taper) “if Queens of the Stone Age were cooler, less annoyingly precise and more punk rock then they?d probably sound like The Brotherhood. There are monsterous riffs, gnarly solos, metal fuzz, sing along choruses. And then there?s PIL style atonal tunery and Misfits mosh parts.” (artrocker) “a two piece that knows how to make music through a dense streaming, and feeling of nostalgia that reminds of an almost extinguished genre” (KEXP) “JEFF The Brotherhood possesses a certain playful charm that few hard-rocking duos have. They're a band that doesn't take themselves too seriously, but that doesn't mean they haven't got the chops. In many ways they recall another band very near and dear to our hearts, the recently reunited Thrush Hermit, with whom they share many '70s rock and punk influences.” (Soundscapes) “Nashville brothers Jamin and Jake Orrall are out to extract as much fun as possible from a growling guitar, stripped down drums, and antic-filled live show. The tracks on Heavy Days scorch by with huge fuzz, fiery tempos, chatty lyrics, and playing that's tighter than the jeans on Valencia. “ (San Francisco Weekly) Call it psychedelic rock. Call it grunge. Call it filthy rock 'n' roll.Whatever it is, Nashville duo Jeff The Brotherhood deliver it - in spades. The group's demented live show sees sweat, blood and who knows what else pouring out over the audience, as the Southern rockers wring out every ounce of feeling from their strings 'n' drums combo. (UK Clash) “JEFF The Brotherhood took my breathe away. Yes, I am sure I sound passé and a bit melodramatic, but I can assure you that until you have seen them live you do not understand and will not understand how great they truly are. They sounded like Sabbath (off of War Pigs) and The Strange Boys with a sound all there own.” (Avanta Bird) “Jake and Jamin Orrall channel surf, psych, power pop and the hopped-up ramalama of Motorhead and the Ramones and, thankfully, it comes out sounding pumped and fizzy and fresh” (Buzzbands LA) “a fast paced, rhythm driven, kick drum thumping, organ droning, convulsive dance inducing testament to indie rock.” (Beyond Race) “Think this is “heavy”? Try “obliterating.” (Self Titled) The new champions of good time, feel good grungy rock, complete with industrial guitar distortion and tightly packed Barracudas percussion. Jeff The Brotherhood are squeezing out the remaining warmth from this years final months, heroically preserving the summer. (Mojophenia) Jeff The Brotherhood takes some elements of classic rock and pop music and, well, leaves them alone, because they?re smart. (The New Gay)
JEFF The Brotherhood WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS LP+DOWNLOAD
Rolling Stone says JEFF The Brotherhood "back up the balls of this album title- the Blue Cheer-with-Neu! surge of "Mellow Out" is fast bliss" in their 3 1/2 star review in this weeks Zach Galifianakis issue, on newstands now. SPIN Magazine says "It's as if ace classicist duo Jake and Jamin Orrall built JEFF the Brotherhood's musical DNA from elements of rock's greatest fellow siblings. Their pared-down arrangements and bluesy riffs recall AC/DC's Young brothers and their fun-loving zeal is akin to honorary bros the Ramones." This weeks Nashville Scene says "JEFF the Brotherhood's latest shows a band ready for world domination". Well we couldn't agree more.

MEEMAW – Glass Elevator 7”+ CD
Jessica (Heavy Cream), Daniel (PUJOL), and Wez (Natural Child) first teamed up in MEEMAW, and almost overnight became one of Nashville's Favorite bands. The package is awesome- A seven inch 4 song EP with an 8 song CD inside. And a poster. It won "Best Local Album" from the Nashville Scene and the reviews were like this one from The Deli: "I have never had an album revitalize my love of the Dirty South like Glass Elevator has. Each song is like a small anthem for the different aspects of life as a Southerner—red meat, smoking, sweet tea and shotguns. The album’s guttural roars and fuzzy guitars capture the adrenaline of the band’s notorious live performances perfectly and make you want to sucker punch whatever’s around just because. Glass Elevator’s scorching energy never lets up."
More Details
And this one from The Tennessean: "As for applying all that frenzied energy to record, the eight songs here (mostly self-recorded) sound like someone slipped something psychoactive into Minor Threat's Coca-Cola, meshing old-school punk charge and tough-guy husk with lo-fi adventurism, trippy lyrics and a surprising dose of melody. The results are strikingly unique, but more importantly, they're incredibly catchy. Don't be surprised if you find yourself singing along to lyrics about bear traps, bald eagles and Lou Diamond Phillips by the second spin of their anthem "Cancer of Society." That's right, and they are on sale for just 5 bucks until they're gone.
Natural Child “1971″ LP
Debut LP by Natural Child. Here's what Nashville's Dead said: "It’d almost be easier for us to just write about the first time we saw each song played live. Like the first time we saw them play “Let It Bleed” at Mercy Lounge back last May and how we watched all the girls’ eyes get dreamy. Or maybe it’d be easier for us to talk about the importance of “Easy Street” and what that song means to Nashville and how a lot of their shows end with that song for a reason. It’s about getting famous. Or about how we heard the finished version of “The Jungle” for the first time and could make out the voice of our buddy DD666 on the track. We know that song’s not on 1971, but whatever. There’s just always an instillment of rock and roll in our heads after seeing Natural Child. Be it “Stones-y” or “stoner” or whatever, it’s still the raw rock and roll that you can’t find anywhere else right now. And in that same vein, 1971 is like a real album. It’s not a bunch of songs thrown together or a bunch of singles collected onto one LP, it’s a record that’s meant to be heard in it’s entirety and taken in as a whole."
More reviews below...
More Details
"From the moment they thump out that infectious, sledgehammer beat, Natural Child had me in their sludgy yet vigorous, stoner-punk clutches. The Nashville, Tennessee trio’s Hard Workin’ Man is a thick-as-molasses, low-speed stomper; wicked in tone, yet with a sweetly innocent, melodic thread woven throughout. Like somewhat menacing, backwoods cousins to The Sonics and Question Mark and The Mysterians, these southern ruffians have been thoroughly steeped in 60’s garage rock and psychedelia, and from it distilled their own gnarlier, countrified rock and roll. I tend to find unabashed ganja enthusiasts refreshingly honest and slightly hilarious, so it hits me both in a soft spot and with a giggle that the band is choosing to drop their debut full-length 1971 this coming 4/20. It’s also worth mentioning that wearing their pro-cannabis freak flag on their sleeves in no way slackens the hot-wired, Big Brother and The Holding Experience-inspired, kozmic riff-funk they’re pumping out. Currently on a nationwide tour, Natural Child are working up quite the rep for mischievous onstage banter and a jovial, yet mercilessly rawkin’ good time. I suggest you catch them in a smaller venue, while you still can." (My Old Kentucky Blog) "While I tend to shy away from calling things rock 'n' roll, there's really no better way to describe the feel of Natural Child. Through boisterous vocals, a bare bones style of play and lyrics that are all the more clever for keeping it simple - you're left with the insatiable urge to see this band live, or at the very least, crack a cold one" - RCRD LBL "One of the most exciting, energetic, and ridiculous rock sets I'd seen in a long time." (WFMU [Beware of the Blog]) "Nashville might be known for its country, but miscreants Natural Child demonstrate that the city can bust out rugged and catchy garage rock when it wants to like its a new Detroit." (Prefix Mag) "The Nashville band exhale equal amounts of fiery swagger and stale beer into its Southern fare, creating a wonderfully eclectic world where punk rock and country music stand toe-to-toe in a perfect swaying boozy harmony", (Everybody Taste)
Peach Kelli Pop “S/T” LP
We are proud to bring you Peach Kelli Pop's debut album!. Free download card included with a sweeet full-color insert. We are in love, and you will be too! "If there’s anything that will toast your buns, it’s the album equivalent of Joey Ramone and Fay Fife smashing on a pile of rainbows, amirite?" (IMPOSE) "This shit is absolutely adorable. Peach Kelli Pop is the solo project of Allie Hanlon, member of the Ottawa-based garage rock outfit the White Wires. It is lighthearted, very lo-fi, and catchy as all fuck." (SPACE ROCK MOUNTAIN) "File this under music to beat off to. The album starts off with what sounds like really good suitcase drumming and jumps into the singer telling you about different made-up dances that she wants to do with you and also that she has a crush on you. Be still my heart." (VICE)
More Details
"She is the drummer for the amazing band White Wires as well. On this extremely (sometimes power) pop record, every song stays in your head. Really catchy. Overall: 9.8/10 strongly recommended. I can't praise this enough. Love it." (HARDCORE PUNK REVIEWS)"PKP's bubblegum pop will melt your heart into a puddle of goo... and you will beg for more! Allie and co are sure to be the stars of many a gooey teenage dream." (OTTOWA EXPLOSION) "Super catchy lo-fi pop sounds played and recorded by Peach Kelli Pop! Do the Eggroll all the way down to the Eenie Meenie Minie Moe, this album will have you dancing in your sleep!" (BURGER RECORDS)
PUJOL “2010″ 7″
Here it is, the long awaited 7" e.p. from PUJOL a.k.a. Daniel Pujol of MEEMAW and WIZARDZ fame!! 3 songs, and not a second of filler, this release is straight up killer. It's 2011, and that means it's time to own 2010. "What is known about Mr. Pujol is that he rocks hard. If you dig Wavves, you'll probably dig Daniel Pujol. And you'll be in on the ground level when he breaks out of Nashville. You can tell your friends in 2012, "Oh I know that guy, his 2010 work is so much more... raw." (Speakers In Code)

THE PAPERHEAD IMPORT LP “FOCUS IN ON THE LOOKING GLASS”
From our friends at Ample Play in London, we have a very limited amount (40) of The Paperhead's "Focus In On The Looking Glass". Formerly available here on cassette, now we've got a 12' slab of vinyl featuring brilliant psychedelic sitar drenched poppy goodness from these fresh young Nashville lads. Recorded by the legenday David Steine of So Jazzy fame! The Paperhead will take you back in time by way of the future.Here's what Record Collector had to say:
"If you’re over 40, you may well survey the disaffected youth of today from behind a twitched curtain and sweepingly state that what they need is no haircut and a spell in the peace corps. Good news for you, if you take that view: The Paperhead are a trio of 18-year-olds from Nashville who, unlikely as it may seem, take their name from a lyric in My Clown by late 60s UK psych oddfellows July. Better still, and yet more unlikely, they seem to have based the bedrock of their sound upon that very single: vocals through a Leslie cabinet, drums plummeting down a neighbour’s stairwell, fuzztone guitar lines as thin as a fly’s entrails, the works. Focus In On The Looking Glass would be a thing of wonder whatever its provenance, but the fact that it springs from present-day teenage Nashville adds a frisson of insular weirdness that arguably hasn’t passed this way since the early Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci releases. Symon’s Monthly Meteorological Magazine represents a lovingly uncanny evocation of Interstellar Overdrive – and if you can keep from breaking out into a beatific, shit-eating grin when the sitar and tabla come in on The Coyote, then frankly you’re made of sterner stuff than anyone here."

UNCLE BAD TOUCH LP
It's here! Uncle Bad Touch. The self-titled debut. We love this album! "“I’d rather die / than die a normal guy” sang Mikey Heppner under the trees. No chance of that. The Priestess metal frontman took a rad left turn into Uncle Bad Touch, his crazy garage-alt side band. Between I Wanna Love You – with bassist Kathryn McCaughey cackling the lyrics over Heppner’s crunchily attenuated lines – and Baby Baby Baby Baby, they crammed more retro-prog ideas into 2:58 than a dozen Nuggets bands. Strange City Sing To Me ranks as an early Osheaga highlight. Mikey, with his new wave haircut and vintage Harmony Bobkat, likes ragged melody lines in a tight frame, and originality. The range is extensive and ramshackle – could’ve been the band opening for Pavement or QOTSA or a Clash/Sham 69 show in ’78. Crazy good." (MONTREAL GAZETTE)
Want more? "In the better-late-than-never department is the debut full-length from Montreal lo-fi psych band Uncle Bad Touch, released on their own Bumby label. This is grade-a, sugar-coated bubblegum/psych that is sure to get toes tappin’ as you hum along to gleaming pop gems like “Strange City, Sing to Me,” “Only With You” and “Baby Baby Baby Baby.” Priestess’s Mikey Heppner and his better half Kathryn McCaughey trade off on the lead vocals, with McCaughey in particular proudly stating she’s this year’s Maureen Tucker. If you dig the psych sounds from 1967 to 1971, this is mandatory." (MONTREAL MIRROR)
