      GUT REACTIONS - Bored 7"
    Still sad because THE FEELERS stopped playing about two years ago? Well, here’s a serious contender, the GUT REACTIONS from Milwaukee, Wisconsin! This three songs will hit you like a derailed steam loco, so damaged and spectacular, straight but still out of control. Just like THE MISTREATERS. Watch out for more releases of this band later this year, but first, get yourself this firecracker of a 45! This makes you slash your teachers tire’s AND dance stupid at the same time! Artwork done be X-Ray Vision.

      PLEXI 3 - Tides of Change LP
    Here at the Bachelor Pad Royale we hardly make exceptions. Bachelor is concentrating on putting out vinyl singles by young bands which simply kick ass, no matter what style they play or what scene they could fit into. BUT: When I gave my boss a CDR with the PLEXI 3 demos, he flipped. After listening to it for three days straight he made a very expensive intercontinental phone call and persuaded the three plexis to ink a deal with his label, Bachelor, not for a simple 7", no sir, for their debut full lenght record! Only a couple of weeks later, 13 songs full of 60s girl group and mod/pop sounds flavoured with just the perfect pinch of garage punk attitude (12 originals and one cover by the EVERLY BROTHERS)! Now it is your turn as music expert and scenester to buy this gem!Print Run: 500 black vinyl, 100 solid orange vinyl.

      DEAD GHOSTS / THE SMITH WESTERNS split 7"
    With this new release, a split vinyl record with DEAD GHOSTS from Vancouver, Canada and THE SMITH WESTERNS from Chicago, Illinois, this story of BACHELOR success will continue. Both bands are frightening good. So good that it well may be that they may soon be playing in front of more than 4 peeps... They both took what they found on the long track of garage music, mixed in a lot of noise and distortion and formed a slop/pop gem that you cannot stop listening to. Fantastic sleeve art by CMRUIZ, plus, this vinyl is housed in a cardboard cover and comes with an inlay. FANCYYYY HUH??? Print Run: 500 copies

    BR-24
     
      REAL NUMBERS - EP 7"
    This is the kind of garage punk that makes me glad that I am not completely deaf yet , but I will soon be because I cannot stop listening to these four songs without pumping up the volume just a little bit more after every song. This is the second single of this trio from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and its just not too trashy so you can easily play it when you are DJing at the local hipster hangout and leave the RIP OFFS, PROBLEMATICS, TEENGENERATE and RAYDIOS singles at home cause they have been recorded way to crappy anyways. REAL NUMBERS take the punk edges of before mentioned bands and drench it into a bittersweet juice. Brian Hermosillo (of THE FEVERS and numerous other bands) recorded this masterpiece, an you may also know the other bands the REAL NUMBERS are playing in… BOYS CLUB and THE RETAINERS! Print run: 500 copies, black vinyl, handnumbered.

      MARVELOUS DARLINGS - Sleeping like a dead man 7"
    Ben Cook (FUCKED UP, CRIMINALLY INSANE, and YOUNG GOVERNER) is a pretty good songwriter! Just listen to the other MARVELOUS DARLINGS releases on Deranged Records or Wall Ride Records. This kid has more genius in his skinny body than you in your whole body. Except maybe you are the guy who wrote all the EXPLODING HEARTS songs… or maybe not even then. Here are two new songs that are NOT going to be on the full length that should be out at the end of summer 09, the first song is a uptempo powerpop anthem, the flipside contains a itsy bit campfire-esque rocker. Get this! Print Run: 500 copies, black vinyl

    BR-22
     
      HUNX - Good Kisser / Cruisin' 7"
    HUNX is Seth from San Francisco's unique GRAVY TRAIN!!! and he is co-owner of the fabulous vintage clothing shop / hair salon DOWN BY LULUS, together with Tina “Boom Boom” Luchesi (TRASHWOMEN, TOP TEN, et cetera et cetera) with this HUNX AND HIS PUNX thing he turns into a pop machine, spewing out one great fingersnappin garage pop tune after another, simple but catchy, just how a pop song should be! PS: NO BUNNY wrote Good Kisser and Coomers of the band HARLEM wrote Cruisin. Photography by Alex Penney, Cover concept(s) by Hunx & Alex Penney, Artwork by Hunx. Print Run: 500 copies

    BR-21 - bummer... this is SOLD OUT!
     
      THE PHARMACY / JAPANTHER split 7"
    This red hot slab of wax was recorded in the desert whilst on a shared U.S. tour. JAPANTHER (Brooklyn, NY) let loose a trashy version of their anti love/anti war number "Not At War." A song that captures the duos true Ramonesy/Germish brat-pop style to a T. THE PHARMACY (Seattle, WA) fire back with "What Are You Doing With Your Life" an upbeat epic complete with piano hooks and breakdowns. Some where between Nirvana and Otis Redding these three smiling friends kick out good poppy punk anthems with a tinge of soul.
    Print Run: 500 copies. Be Quick.

      SNEAKY PINKS - Loner with a boner / We're the punkles 7"

    No need to put out two songs from a 2006 Cassingle on vinyl? YEAH WHAT DO YOU KNOW?! Here is what the opinion leaders had to bitch about these songs: “This two-song cassingle was sold on tour by these musical visionaries. The first song pays homage to the godfather of punk, Black Randy. A more fitting tribute could not be paid as it is actually a great song. ..Loner With a Boner.. The Punkles, I was told, was the band..s stab at making a children..s cartoon for television, and the second song here, ..We..re the Punkles.. is the theme song. Like any good jingle, the song is a little annoying and way catchy.(DH, Terminal Boredom.com). Print Run: 500 copies. Very few left.

    BR-19 - too late, this gem is sold out and gone forever...
     
      BATMAN & ROBIN - I'm a bat... I'm a rock and roll animal 7"
    OK, now, who would have guessed that this strange and sordid duo would land a hit record? Their debut 7" was well acclaimed by both, critics and music loving folks, so here it is... their second platter! With an exquisite mixture of garage punk and comedy, BATMAN & ROBIN are charming their way into the hearts and homes of everyone. Song titles like "I feel pretty good when smashing other people" or "Gotham City Blues" should lead into a buying decision. If not, you're a loser. Each single comes with an mini zine called "Gotham Gazette" plus a free cut out Batman Schnauz! (thats a moustache you goof.) 500 copies on black wax.

    BR-18
     
      BOYS CLUB - 2-D World 7"
    They may look a bit geeky but isn’t that just perfect for a lo-fi garage rock / powerpop band??? Right on! This trio from Minneapolis delivers three songs full of lo-fi imperfection and heartaches. Recorded by Brian Hermosillo (THE FEVERS, SKIPPER, THE RETARDOS,...). 500 copies.


    BR-17, but its soul doubt SOLD OUT
     
      ROCK AND ROLL ADVENTURE KIDS - Boobies and Rock n Roll, Hot Dog and a Jelly Roll 7"
    San Francisco Guardian voted them for best new punk band in 2007, but what do they know.... this is not a punk band. Its rocanrol (TM)!!!!! The two wolf brothers went to a real studio to record two wild and relentless firecrackers that will make you bounce like a rubber ball. According to the cover artwork, 18 or older only on this title please. Fake IDs will be accepted of course.
    500 copies on black wax.

    BR-16
      THE YOLKS - Wandering 7"

    BR-15 - Oooops. SOLD OUT!
     
      BEAT BEAT - Without You 7"
    Screen printed sleeve and four demented and harsh garage punk hits from some low-lifes in southern austriah!

    BR-04 SOLD OUT - SORRY!
      THE MAKEOUTS - Worst Band Ever
    In fact this is a misprint, if you look at the cover, its clear that it should be "Worst Looking Band Ever". Three Swedes, masterful engineering, authenic Budget Rock(TM) instruments and cheap liquor result in a distictively new interpretation of the RIP OFFS meet TEENGENERATE sound. One of the four tracks is written by Mark Sultan. You don't know him? You stink!

    BR-03
