Same tasty flavor.  Thanks for keeping it real guys.

Taken from the album "Dissed And Dismissed," out March 25 on Slumberland Records.

Constantly juggling hardcore and pop projects, veteran Bay Area musician Tony Molina has won over fans in both camps. Since 2002, Molina has played in several bands including Dystrophy, Ovens, Lifetime Problems, Caged Animal, Violent Change and his current solo work. In all of this projects, Molina values lyrical simplicity, structural concision, and the emotional impact of gnarly guitar riffs.

Most recently he released the "Six Tracks EP" through Matador Records’ Singles Going Home Alone series. Featuring five brief power-pop originals on the A-side and a stellar cover of Metallica’s “Orion” on the flip, it contains a bona-fide pop hit in “Breakin’ Up,” a tuff tune that recalls the best of Dinosaur Jr and Teenage Fanclub and sounds for all the world like a great lost 70s radio hit. Pure magic.

Two other recent releases — the wistful riff rock of his first solo album, "Dissed and Dismissed," and his hardcore band Caged Animal’s barbaric debut EP — illustrate the striking dichotomy that has run throughout Molina’s discography over the last eleven years. As music critic Sam Lefebvre wrote, “On Dissed and Dismissed, Molina intensifies the slacker clichés and self-deprecation of 90s indie rock into absurdist hyperbole. He expresses vulnerability and melodrama through bizarre truisms while referencing his forebears: Thin Lizzy leads, Radiohead lyrics, Replacements sneer. Molina appropriates unapologetically (openly paying tribute to Guided By Voices with a sterling cover of their “Wondering Boy Poet”), but distills the past into bursts of reverence less than a minute long.”

"Dissed and Dismissed" was released earlier this year on San Francisco’s Melters label. The album struck a chord with savvy listeners. gathered some great reviews and rapidly sold-out of its initial pressing. Slumberland Records is proud to bring you a reissue of this fine album on March 25, 2014 on red vinyl LP, cassette and as a digital download. Dig its indelible tunes and shredding leads while we wait for the new Tony Molina full-length, to be released on Slumberland later in 2014.

FEVER THE GHOST - "Calico"

First online single from the Living Eyes new LP "Living Large", due out January 2015.
Out in AU through Anti Fade from January 30 and in UK/EU through Agitated from January 19.

Geelong delinquents the Living Eyes have just churned out a second LP of burners to hit the shelves early 2015, following their self-titled debut from 2013.  
Since then the band have thrown around a handful of singles, shows and a split 7”, but its common ground that all arrows are pointed towards this new long player. As of January 30, the Living Eyes will unhinge a new belt of stompers to make up LP round two. 
The album was predominantly recorded by Straight Arrows’ front man Owen Penglis over a day and a half spent in Sydney at Penglis’ new hideout; Goliath Professional Recording Studio. The tapes were then driven back down the Hume highway and finished off in a couple of West Geelong bedrooms, before being mailed to Rye mixing master, Mikey Young. 
Living Large takes off in a somewhat new direction since the S/T LP, filling out with more sharp cuts and guitar crunch but still keeping the snotty sound they’d always had. In a few words – it’s a poppy punk record that sounds nothing like pop punk. 
But it’s nothing to dwell on - its ten tracks wide and 26 minutes minutes long and it’ll spin faster than your average long player any day of the week. 



THE LIVING EYES - High Standards (Living Large LP - 2015)

This track is a heavy, grinding anthem that embodies the crushing force of a dying urban world. With a massive, mechanical rhythm and a relentless, industrial feel, "Smog & Steel" is the sound of the concrete wasteland itself—a powerful, destructive force moving through the ruins.
