STIMULATORS - LOUD FAST RULES In 1977, guitarist Denise Mercedes returned to NYC from London and decided to start her own band. She recruited LES poet Patrick Mack on guitar and vocals, artist and fashionista Nick Marden on bass and, on drums, a then 11 year-old Harley Flanagan! The Stims became regulars at legendary clubs like Max’s Kansas City & CBGB’s sharing bills with the likes of Bad Brains & Suicide! This piece of punk rock history is available on LP, CD and Digitally!

BUSH TETRAS - HAPPYOne of the original bands to come out of the NYC No Wave scene in the 80s’, theBush Tetras’ are currently experiencing a resurgence and a whole new generation is discovering them. ‘Happy’ is their second studio album and had been mired in major label limbo since recording it in 1998 but it eventually got the release it deserved in 2012. Produced by the legendary Don Fleming (Sonic Youth, Teenage Fanclub, Screaming Trees). Available on LP, CD & Digitally!

10FT GANJA PLANT - BASS CHALICE The track ‘Blood Money’ from this album has over 3 million streams alone and 10 Ft’s loyal fanbase seem to agree that Bass Chalice is an album worth repeated listens. It sees 10 Ft. stripping away a bit of the mystery surrounding the band’s lineup and actually letting us disclose a very special guest appearance by the legendary ‘70s Jamaican vocal reggae group The Meditations! Available Digitally!
