Rose For Bohdan existed from 1995 till June 2007. Over the course of these 12 years the act had countless lineups with Brian Miller/Kinsman being the only consistent member (and, at times, the only member at all). With 6 full length albums and 3 collections of singles, b-sides and rarities to their name, Rose For Bohdan can be a tricky band to jump right into. This mix of tracks spanning R4B's entire career is a great place to start! In addition, we've added Rose For Bohdan's remix of Cock ESP, a true rarity only ever released on the Cock E.S.P. remix cd and never included on any of the R4B singles collections!

Rose For Bohdan members would go on to be in such acts as White Fence, Foot Village, True Neutral Crew, and tons more.

We first saw Girl Pusher at an insane punk-rave in Compton. Since then, they've been a powerful new force in LA music, providing a missing voice for both youth woes and passions. With brutal chants like "I'm so fat / I'm so ugly", Girl Pusher transcend self-deprecation to a sort of joyous scream-therapy for both them and their wild audiences. With a streamlined set up of just vocals from Gabby Giuliano and drums (both electronic & acoustic) from Jarrod Hine, Girl Pusher is punk just the way we like it - futuristic and uncompromising.

GIRL PUSHER "A Lot of Boys Like Me Though"

Director Patrick Kennelly and composer Jonathan Snipes have been working together for years; from some very twisted stage theater projects to music videos for Snipes' experimental rap group clipping. (Sub Pop). For Kennelly's debut feature film, Snipes tackled not only the entire score, but all the sound design as well. The results are one of the most brutal explorations of body horror you'll ever see and hear.

Heavily utilizing harsh noise and elements of the lead actresses' intense performances as parts of the score, Snipes' composition is exactly what you'd hope a horror film score to be: frightening as hell!!

Features contributions from Christian McLaurin (Signor Benedick The Moor), Christopher Fleeger (Cooling Prongs), David Rothbaum, and John W. Snyder.

From Ed Balloon's new album, 'Yellow 20-Somethings', OUT NOW on Deathbomb Arc!!

“What makes “No Smoking” a good listen is how raw and unafraid the lyrics are. At times, it’s inventive and resourceful, while remaining vulnerable and relevant.” – Afropunk

While Ed Balloon has never shied away from soul bearing with his streamlined and catchy music, his sophomore release, ‘Yellow 20-Somethings’, brings a more socially-focused content to the minimal sound his fans already love. In a unique space between club tracks, love songs, and pop anthems, Ed is able to find the core of a sound, shed the rest, and produce such a focused sound that it is at once huge and cosmic and also as intimate as a cuddle. It is the perfect musical forum for contemplating the ways our world’s huge issues fall right in our laps. Ed Balloon is the best friend we all wish we had; able to tell us those hard truths in a way that is a pure act of love.

“With this lack of overt flashiness, the music has space to speak for itself. His lyrics feel honest, often about love, but not necessarily in an cliche broken-heart kind of way.” – Passion of the Weiss

ED BALLOON "BOMBOM" (from 'Yellow 20-Somethings')

From the album 'Love Is For The Rich' out now on Deathbomb Arc/Psychedelic Thriftstore.

Miguel Mendez has been a member of Love As Laughter, and collaborated with musicians such a J Mascis, Farmer Dave of Beachwood Sparks, Joel Jerome of DIOS, and even experimental musicians like Brian Kinsman of True Neutral Crew. On rare occasion though, Mendez puts forth his own work - a uniquely rude yet gentle form of psyche-country. Raised on both 70s ballads and 90s gangsta rap, Miguel Mendez is at once deeply romantic and armed with a bitter tongue. It can be hard to decipher if his lyrics are sympathetic or satirical. Or both. Or neither. He plays with mystery both in his words and the lush orchestration of his tracks. ‘Love Is For The Rich’ is an ominously delivered piece of wisdom: Just chill.

MIGUEL MENDEZ "TO HER (FEAT. PEARL CHARLES)"

From a cassette/digital release on Deathbomb Arc, released in support of the clipping. / Baseck west coast tour 2017. Track premiere thanks to Tiny Mix Tapes: http://www.tinymixtapes.com/news/baseck-release-ep-and-head-out-tour-clipping-friday-premieres-new-track-today

Baseck is a Los Angeles based experimental electronic musician. His roots run deep in L.A.'s underground rave scene since the early 90s. Baseck’s fascination with sound brought him to turntablism at an early age. The attraction to hands-on hardware learned from scratching records lent its way to audio manipulation with small battery powered toys, drum machines, and then modular synthesizers. His unique style and mastery of a wide range of music hardware created a segue into music technology. Since 2013, Baseck has been working with synthesizer companies offering design concepts that will enhance user playability.  Dave Smith’s analog drum machine, Tempest, is released with presets designed by Baseck. Variatic Basicus, a Eurorack module created by Noise Engineering, was built for his live performance needs.  

At the peak of his performance, Baseck's style builds on past musical experiments combining 80s drum machine sounds of Breakdance and Industrial, with a future approach to Drum & Bass and Braindance using analog/digital hardware.
