TAD was a mighty force in the late-'80s/early-'90s Seattle scene. Their heavy, churning rock/metal/punk buzz was a crucial part of Sub Pop's early years, and, along with peers like Mudhoney, Nirvana, and Soundgarden, they defined the sound that reinvigorated the rock world in the early '90s. TAD was led by the physically imposing yet incredibly sweet singer/guitarist TAD Doyle, with bassist Kurt Danielson (ex-Bundle of Hiss), drummer Steve Wied, and guitarist Gary Thorstensen. With an image that sometimes cast the band as deranged lumberjacks, and influence from Head of David and Killdozer, TAD put a uniquely rain-and-fog-coated Northwest spin on '80s underground rock. The band released two albums and a few EPs on Sub Pop between 1988 and 1991, all of which are now lovingly remastered by the band's friend and engineer Jack Endino (Soundgarden, Nirvana, Mudhoney, Screaming Trees) and repackaged with bonus tracks and expansive liner notes. In 1991, after tens of thousands of miles on the road in support of God's Balls, and a run of powerful EPs/singles, TAD released their second full-length album, 8-Way Santa. Recorded at Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin with Butch Vig, whose work with Killdozer the band admired, 8-Way Santa finds TAD pushing their sound in new directions. Not a band to rest on its laurels, TAD began to add melodic touches to their sound, as evidenced by the lead single, "Jinx." Many touring dates and shows followed the record, plus a copyright-infringement brouhaha over the original album cover - which was quickly pulled from stores when the couple portrayed in the cover photo objected. 8-Way Santa was the last record with the original TAD lineup, and their last album for Sub Pop before jumping to a major label. This reissue of 8-Way Santa includes tracks from the "Jinx" single, a 1990 EP, and a handful of unreleased album demos recorded by Jack Endino. This material has been out of print on vinyl/CD for many years, and this is the first digital release for the bonus content Record Label: Sub Pop Style: Alternative Rock

digipak. KING DUDE returns with his latest meditation in eleven parts titled "Sex". Following in the tradition of unexpected divination through the good lord Lucifer, the King challenges the listener to explore the theme of sexuality through nothing other than rock n' roll of course. As reverent as it is prophetic and stark, Burning Daylight pulls together the biblical sound and isolation of the northwest. King Dude draws from artists akin to Death in June & Leonard Cohen but sews together a hybrid of true folk tradition alongside the likes of Woody Guthrie and Johnny Cash. Last year’s release of King Dude’s debut full-length masterpiece, Love, saw a beautiful vision of what was in store for the future…and what future is now. Burning Daylight is the newest edition to the King Dude canon. Coal dust spirituals mined from the haunting backwoods landscape of the Pacific Northwest. Stories of the constant struggle of man’s turbulent affair with his Lord and the Devil. Burning Daylight produces a maturity and direction that is unparalleled…showing us the word, and way and the light. Record Label: Van Records Style: Indie Rock

Frank Iero has announced second solo album 'parachutes' is due for release on Halloween weekend, October 28th 2016 via Hassle Records. Halloween is a time of year close to Frank's heart, sharing the date with his birthday - what better way to celebrate than with the release of his highly anticipated new album. With 'stomachaches' having been made up of tracks created in Frank's basement - with no plans or expectations for a release - 'parachutes' was a different proposition and process altogether. There was always the intention from the start this time around, and following the unexpected release and subsequent success of the debut record, the approach to 'parachutes' was a very purposeful step up - this time recruiting the highly sought-after skills and experience of Ross Robinson (At The Drive-In, Glassjaw, Slipknot, The Cure) and Steve Evetts (The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Used, The Cure, Glassjaw Record Label: Hassle Records Style: Rock

The almighty 11PARANOIAS send back their latest report from the frontiers of heavy psychedelic rock, bringing to Ritual Productions their staggering fourth LP, Reliquary For A Dreamed Of World. The trio of Adam Richardson, Mike Vest and Nathan Perrier have once more aroused gargantuan riffs from ancient slumber, mustered intangible streams of irradiated noise, and arranged them to form an impressive, overdriven kaleidoscopic creation that shall see the light of day on October 28th. There are no simple drones, no empty spaces between notes in the 11PARANOIAS sound wall – each track is thriving with micro detail and macro clout, transforming and mutating as they piston forward in their expedition across unexplored musical dimensions. The band tend to furls of subdued song parts until they grow in to obliterating gushes of white hot amplification that create their own gravity, sucking in refracted flares of wah, stretched howls and alien frequencies. Nearly five years have passed since their fateful inception from a jam on 11/11/11, and still their bond grows stronger - Reliquary For A Dreamed Of World dives deeper than they ever have before. The zoomed in, direct hit of ‘Milk Of Amnesia’ closes the record, and if up to this point they have only hinted at the unseen terror they harbour, this ferocious track is when the monster breaks through the waves and reveals itself. A terrifying fever dream of an album that will consume you like an addiction. Record Label: Ritual Productions Style: Stoner Rock

'Shake Around' Includes 'So Young', ockin' Bandit' and [1]reak Up', which he recorded several months before labelmate and friend Jerry Lee Lewis' made it a hit single.

French electronic singer-songwriter s a r a s a r a announces the release of her debut album a m o r f a t i, out 14th October 2016 via One Little Indian. Co-produced by s a r a s a r a and acclaimed musician Matthew Herbert, who also mixed the record, a m o r f a t i is an uncompromising and boundary pushing debut album s a r a s a r a’s primal first single ‘Euphoria’ is available to stream now. An intense listen swelling with mystery, ‘Euphoria’ is a captivating introduction to s a r a s a r a’s truly ambitious and individual sound. s a r a s a r a’s infatuation with electronic music at a young age found her seeking out clubs in Belgium at sixteen years old. She says: “I fell in love right away with the music, the people like a community, the freedom, the craziness, the whole nightlife way of thinking. I met fascinating people with such an incredible knowledge of all types of music, as they’d been playing in clubs since the 80’s. They who became friends and even family.” After consuming the back catalogues of artists including Ricardo Villalobos and Aphex Twin, as well Matthew Herbert, s a r a s a r a began DJing in local bars and clubs. Having cut her teeth as a DJ, she yearned to further her creative outlet and she sold her record collection and decks and purchased gear to begin creating her own music. Combining a diverse range of influences such as Warp stalwarts LFO, Björk, Vanessa Paradis, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds along with her interest in philosophy, literature and film, s a r a s a r a found her voice as a bold and unique artist, with a true vision. Graced with an enchanting voice tinged with mystery, s a r a s a r a has cultivated a precise and startling individual sound and aesthetic. She says: “ Music definitely has a concrete function for me. It’s not art for art’s sake, it’s an opportunity to get introspective. I have always felt the urge to question and master myself in order to make the best decisions, to make the most of the short time that I have in this life or body. I want every little thing to be exactly as I want it to be, as if I wanted it to repeat for eternity.” “I always start from my point of view, my experiences, what I see around me, what I feel and I try to make something out of it, a kind of rule or manifesto for myself that will lead to concrete actions or decisions. This process takes a lot of time, it requires solitude. It can be very confusing but in the end, you always come up with a new piece of the puzzle that is you. It’s only once you’ve done that work that you can start to live in the the now and make every minute count, which is the absolute goal. This is what hedonism is for me. My music is a write-up of this process in time. I hope in the end, people will enjoy it and even be able to relate to it.“ s a r a s a r a throws herself into every syllable on her debut album, creating a highly personal record, underpinned by progressive and experimental electronics. a m o r f a t i is released 14th October 2016 via One Little Indian.

It’s a record that finds the band unwaveringly incensed and resolute in their mutative sense of innovation, as Stewart elaborates: ‘it’s a stand against manufactured hate, a hypersonic journey into a dystopian future full of alien encounters and sci-fi lullabies’ Produced by dub titan Dennis Bovell, who worked on their seminal Y album debut, and Public Enemy / Bombsquad legendary producer Hank Shocklee, Honeymoon On Mars represents the band’s realisation of a dream twofold collaboration. Bovell produced the bulk of the sessions while Shocklee took the helm on City Of Eyes, War Inc. and Burn Your Flag. Talking about working with The Pop Group, Shocklee said: "The Pop Group sound has a level of freedom, fun and creative musicianship in their recordings that is a special and rare find in today's world. Their uncompromising spirit to be themselves and not worry about fitting into a musical box, sets them apart.” Long-time collaborator Bovell added: “It’s been a great pleasure to be working with the guys again. They are truly beyond good and evil. Record Label: Freaks R Us Style: Alternative Rock
