MARVELOUS DARLINGS - Sleeping like a dead man 7" [BR-22]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. ONLY 4,00 EUROS | > | |
REAL NUMBERS - EP 7" [BR-23]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. Recorded by Brian Hermosillo. Print run: 500 copies, black vinyl, handnumbered. ONLY 4,00 EUROS | > | |
DEAD GHOSTS / SMITH WESTERNS split 7" [BR-24]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, black vinyl with insert. ONLY 4,00 EUROS | > | |
THE YOLKS - s/t [BR-25]The self-proclaimed “Kings of Awesome” from Chicago, Illinois, with their first full length! The awesomeness of this record is kinda hard to describe, it just sounds like a bunch of well written 60ties styled pop songs, stored in a vintage suitcase, left alone at the porch where sun and rain left some marks on it, before opened up again and accidentally sprinkled with honey. This surely tastes good! Believe me. Soulful rock n roll for sophisticated ass shaking! This is a split release of RANDY RECORDS and BACHELOR. Print Run: 800 copies, 150 of on transparent blue vinyl (SOLD OUT), 650 black vinyl. ONLY 9,00 EUROS | > | |
PLEXI 3 - Tides of Change LP [BR-26]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 ! Now it is your turn as music expert and scenester to buy this gem! Print Run: 100 solid orange vinyl (SOLD OUT) 500 black vinyl. ONLY 9,00 EUROS | > | |
BATMAN & ROBIN - My Hero Power is my Moustache [BR-27]FINALLY IT’S DONE! Part three in the BATMAN & ROBIN trilogy is out now! And with this final part, the dynamic drunken duo recorded their (up to date) best songs. My boss spent the incredible amount of 20 Euros to send them into a “studio” to let them record four amazing songs, four hoopin’ and hollerin’ anthems, four footstompin’ soon-to-be classic tunes! Of course this kid MICHAEL “HACKI” HACKER was forced to do the artwork again, this time he even did a big two sided full cover poster as well, including the secret diaries of Batman and Robin…. He unravels the dirtiest secrets of your beloved superheros! This one is limited to 500 copies and – as all other BATMAN & ROBIN 7”es before – will not be repressed at any time. So take your chance and order this cray-zee package! Print Run: 500 copies, black vinyl, with poster and insert. ONLY 4,00 EUROS | > | |
GUT REACTIONS - Bored 7" [BR-28]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. Print Run: 500 copies, black vinyl. ONLY 4,00 EUROS | > | |
SUGAR STEMS - Beat Beat Beat / Crybaby 7" [BR-29]When our secretary Mindy Hecht says that she is “wetting her panties” when hearing this new 7”, she is lying of course, cause she aint wearing any panties, never. Well of course it’s a HIT SINGLE but why does she refuse to write an info for this platter???? I dunno. She says she cannot write about a 45 that “blows her mind” so now I end up doing it although I really have better things to do than writing press infos for my label, like getting another strawberry deluxe milkshake (vodka AND sugar) or watching T.V. If you don’t buy this you will miss not one but TWO exhibitions of sugar coated garagepop awesomeness, the two girls in the band are cute and the boys, well, they are boys. Artwork done be X-Ray Vision. Print Run: 500 copies, black vinyl, handnumbered with insert. ONLY 4,00 EUROS | > | |
BEAT BEAT - debut LP [BR-30]After the fantastic 7" on Spin the Bottle Records from Canada and another great 7” on Bachelor / Milk and Chocolate Records they started to play live frequently and even got small tours and a longer one overseas! After this USA and CANADA trek in 2009, BEAT BEAT finished recording the full length and gave the recordings to Matteo from the MOJOMATICS. He polished the songs a bit and after “only” one year of production time here is the final LP, a true Garage / Powerpop gem! If you catch them live you will soon know why it took forever to get this album done… these guys like playing live and par-tee-ing a lot more than just record songs and do stoopid photo shoots for the artwork… ONLY 9,00 EUROS | > |
