The Donnas - Get Rid Of That Girl

London grungers Japanese Voyeurs have covered 'Closer' by Nine Inch Nails and it is a dirty, dirty thing.

Go Sailor were a great, short-lived band from the mid-90s who represent a key link in the US indie music chain. Featuring Rose Melberg (Tiger Trap, The Softies, Gaze, Brave Irene), Linton (Henry's Dress, The Aislers Set) and Paul Curran (Crimpshrine), they released three great singles and a few compilation tracks, and then went their separate ways. But what records they are! Basic and lovely in their song-writing, they're perfect snapshots of where indie-pop was during that last burst of pre-internet indie activity. Touching on time-honored themes friendship and love (lost and found), they resonate with honesty and purity of intention.

While the themes might sound super-sensitive, the music is anything but. Rose's scrappy guitar was backed by Linton and Paul's sparkplug rhythm section, each song vibrating with enthusiasm and punk rock energy. Tunes like "I'm Still Crying," "Windy" and their ace cover of Nar's "Blue Sky" are as rambunctious and infectious as pop comes, showing the band's roots in the Bay Area punk scene. And the hits just keep on coming: "Ray of Sunshine" and "Long Distance" are total classic, while "Bigger Than The Ocean" slows the pace down for a couple's dance. Paul takes the lead on "The Boy Who Sailed Around The World," wrapping up this flawless record with one of the band's live favorites.

Go Sailor reunited in the early 2010s to play to enraptured crowds at the NYC and Athens Popfests, and their appearance at the Slumberland 20th Anniversary show was the stuff of legend. This album compiles all three of their singles plus compilation tracks and was first released on vinyl in 2011. Due to pressing plant issues it quickly went out of print and that's just not right, so we are very happy to bring you this 11th anniversary edition, back on vinyl where it belongs.

From *UPCOMING* BLVD007, North Highlands "Wild One" LP. Already self-released digitally, BLVD is excited to be doing the vinyl edition of this great record from Brooklyn-based North Highlands.

"Front woman Brenda Malvini could easily join the ranks of 2011′s list of indie it-girls with the release of the band’s full-length LP Wild One...
...Albums that showcase a bands ability to construct (and deconstruct) textured layers have carved a soft spot in my heart, and North Highlands really knocked it out of the park with this release. Summoning shades of early Broken Social Scene and touches of Deerhoof and Minus the Bear, Wild One was able to balance unique cadence and timing structures with varied orchestral layers. This allowed Malvini’s band mates, particularly Jasper Berg on drums and Mike Baron on lead guitar, to showcase their technical precision without diluting Malvini’s soaring vocals."
-Robby Corrado, "Wild Honey Pie"

"...the recently revived Electrelane circa 'No Shouts, No Calls' are a strong reference point, with Malvini's singing mirroring Verity Susman's vocal lines on occasion ("Steady Steady," "Roundhouse"). The band members are fond of taking her work and interlacing it with jerky rhythms that are clamped to the kind of ultra-bright guitar playing Vampire Weekend practice, ultimately settling into a style that's one part ice-cold detachment and one part fizzy pop encompassment. The juxtaposition is good for creating a space for North Highlands to operate within, where the aloof vocal on a song like "Chicago" keeps their audience at arm's length, only for some Tindersticks-y string arrangements to pull them back in with their warmth and vitality."
-Nick Neyland, "Pitchfork"

North Highlands- Benefits

From the *UPCOMING* , Blizzard Babies "S/T" 12". Already self-released digitally, BLVD is excited to be doing the vinyl edition of this great EP (plus 2 extra BLVD-only tracks!)!

"Blizzard Babies are, to keep things simple, a rock and roll band. They (Pam strumming a ukelele, Meghann plucking the bass, Taylor shredding the guitar and a cool girl named Liz going nuts on drums) love to ROCK the F out, which is why seemingly simple songs about things like ancient Rome and how good beavers have it end up going on for around five minutes. What they hope to express through their music is fun and excitement."

"Blizzard Babies are 1. fucking awesome and 2. fucking rock ‘n roll. Like The Pleasure Seekers and The Belles, they aren’t here to be cutesy and darling. And their sound isn’t going to make you swoon in a sea of unicorns and rainbows. And thank god, because I know we’re all sick of the typical female bands that play on their femininity rather than just playing some fucking music. The Blizzard Babies are punk and surf rock and just some old Rock ‘n Roll...
...Songs like “Drive Me Mad” and “Kittens” get stuck in your head and you’ll find yourself shaking your ass on the L – or was that just me? My favorite is “BaBaBarians” a surf rock style song that belongs on any garage mix you will ever make."
