May/June 2015 Playlist (Shoegaze/Noise Pop)

Ringo Deathstarr are making no hesitations when it comes to checking things off their 2014 To Do List. The Austin, Texas trio will kick off the new year by both releasing God's Dream,  a 12-inch EP on Neon Sigh / Noyes Records  shortly after completing a 29 date, nation wide tour. The album is set to be released on 25 March 2014. 

Warm guitars and pulsing drums combine to form an aggressively atmospheric bubble, encompassing the listener in an infectious cohesive which blends the sounds of an era when Sonic Youth and Jesus and Mary Chain walked the Earth with a forward thinking and creatively stubborn indie darling. Joined by Adam Franklin of Swervedriver on the track "Nowhere" and Jeff Schroeder of the Smashing Pumpkins on "Chainsaw Morning," Ringo Deathstarr has created a flawlessly crafted sound on God's Dream, destined and deserving to exist on vinyl. 

Thankfully for enthusiasts, that is exactly where God's Dream has ended up. Ringo Deathstarr will release an exclusive run of colorized vinyl, limited to 500 copies. 400 copies of the EP will be pressed in coke bottle, while the remaining 100 copies will be pressed in a mixture of mint green and hot pink. The release will also be available in digital format. 

The band will also begin and end their national tour in Austin, Texas, with the tour kicking off on February 13, 2014 and ending at this year's South By Southwest. 

Ringo Deathstarr, a musical trio from Austin, TX, have been putting out records since 2007.  Consisting of Elliott Frazier (guitar, vocals), Alex Gehring (bass, vocals), and Daniel Coborn (drums, vocals), their sound is born from a love of melody, a love of guitar, and a hatred of pompous vocals.  Finding it to be too much fun, the group has expounded upon the sounds of the masters before them.  This desire to play the music they were too young to witness as children has taken Ringo Deathstarr around the globe, performing in places as far flung as Israel, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, Europe, Canda, and the continental USA, supporting favorites like ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Dean Wareham, The Wedding Present, and The Smashing Pumpkins.  With two full length records (Colour Trip and Mauve) and a handful of EPs and singles in the bag, now is the time  for a new EP, "God's Dream," which was recorded in Austin and on a ranch in Dripping Springs, TX.  For this record, the band reunited with Chris "Frenchie" Smith, who co-produced their debut EP.

Ringo Deathstarr will release God's Dream on 25 March 2014 on Neon Sigh / Noyes Records.

No Joy - Hollywood Teeth

BAND: TREMENTINA
ALBUM: ALMOST REACH THE SUN
LABEL: VINYL JUNKIE RECORDINGS / BYM RECORDS
YEAR: 2015

KISSES IN YOUR EYES

"Many Worlds" is one of the songs from our recently completed cassette EP, called Concentration and out on February 5th via Touchy Feely Records. It follows The Thrall, our September 2014 debut full-length, and serves as a short teaser before we enter the studio to record our next full-length with Dylan Wall (Craft Spells, Weed, Naomi Punk) in the first week of March!

The set was engineered and produced by Robert Comitz (Hornet Leg, Marriage + Cancer, K Records), who did the same work on our previous release. The Thrall was listed as an 'Essential Portland Album of 2014' by The Oregonian and received positive reviews. One or more of our members are active in other local bands within the same scene, including Havania Whaal and Wet Trident.

Thank you for listening,

"So now when I pry my eyes open to play a bit of a mindless video game, I will also duct tape the headphones to my ears, glue the volume control on the highest setting with Lubec in the player, and just let it all go into blissful meltdown" - Tiny Mix Tapes

"Lubec blazes through the thick, fuzzy clouds of the Pacific Northwest with driving, melodic tunes." - Impose

"They are among the city's elite loud-pop heavyweights." - The Portland Mercury

"Lubec is a band that bounces well off the walls, forming the occasional bruise or bloody mark, but usually in the shape of something beautifully deceiving" - Impression of Sound
