STREET DATE: 4/19/24
CAT#: BPR-100
LABEL: Brutal Panda

NYC's resident misfits Couch Slut have played a veritable strain of drug-fueled, incendiary noise rock since 2013. Led by Megan Osztrosits' infernal roar and subversive, vitriolic lyrics, the quintet returns with their fourth full-length opus You Could Do It Tonight, just in time for America's only holiday that matters...4/20.

Recorded amidst the filth of NYC with Uniform's Ben Greenberg (Drab Majesty, Portrayal of Guilt, Metz), Couch Slut subverts the paradigm and ups the ante in every imaginable way across nine vignettes of perverse, true-to-life storytelling layered over the band's singular, dragged-through-the-mud songcraft. This is a depraved style of noise rock that will scare the living shit out of you. With ten full years of pain and suffering under its proverbial belt, Couch Slut sounds more urgent, threatening, nasty and despondent than ever. The perfect soundtrack for 2024.

Transit Method "Othervoid"

LP - $17.25 / CD - $8.00 / CASSETTE - $7.50
LP UPC: 197190290646
STREET DATE: 2/2/24
CAT#: BPR-93
LABEL: Brutal Panda

Othervoid marks the prog-metal quartet's most bludgeoning, infectious and ambitious album to date. The result of years of internal turmoil and triumph... Transit Method charged into the eye of the storm and emerged on the other side with a fresh lineup and the strongest album of their career. The path was challenging, unpredictable and exhilarating - just like the album itself.

Othervoid's seven tracks show the breadth of the band's songwriting. The punk-metal riffs and dueling guitars of "Psychometry" evoke Mutoid Man and Iron Maiden, while the vocal harmonies and trad-metal gallop of "The Outside" recall Mastodon and Thin Lizzy. The album reaches its astonishing climax on "Frostbite," a shapeshifting, nine-minute epic inspired by the 2021 freeze that left millions of Texans stranded at home without power and claimed hundreds of lives.

The album was produced by Charles Godrey at Scary American Studios in Austin, TX (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Third Eye Blind, Whiskey Myers, Holy Wave), mastered by Dan Shike at Tone and Volume Mastering (Meat Puppets, Third Eye Blind, Larkin Poe) and features incredible album art from Marald van Haasteren (Metallica, Kvelertak, Gost).

TRACK LISTING:

  1. Into Your Mind
  2. Nightmare Machines
  3. Psychometry
  4. Another Wasted Life
  5. The Outside
  6. Savage Creatures
  7. Frostbite

MARKETING POINTS:

Glassing "Twin Dream"

LP - $17.25 / CD - $7.50
STREET DATE: 9/15/23
CAT#: BPR-74
LABEL: Brutal Panda

Twin Dream, the third full-length offering from Austin, TX multidimensional trio GLASSING, is a sonic mirror of our era and nothing short of immense. Ranging from grim to hopeful to destructive to cathartic, oftentimes all within a single song, GLASSING channel multifarious energies that delve deep into the Underland while simultaneously exploring the celestial. Elements of post-hardcore, black metal, noise rock, ambient, shoegaze, and doom swirl together to create a rich palette of mood and textures across 11 tracks that ruminate on splintered realities, altered consciousness, and esoteric philosophy.

Twin Dream was recorded with Andrew Hernandez (This Will Destroy You, Balmorhea, The Sword, Mammoth Grinder) in a remote Texas studio replete with crumbling infrastructure and the ghosts of country troubadours echoing amongst the walls. While the world burned on the outside, the music took on an entirely new meaning and those that survived the nightmare were left with a newfound sense of hope amongst the bleak reality. Twin Dream is the archetypal soundtrack to these end of times.

Glassing "Spotted Horse"

LP - $17.25 / CD - $7.50
STREET DATE: 8/18/23
CAT#: BPR-40
LABEL: Brutal Panda

Cold sand on a barren coastline. Spectral blackness. Godless nights. The calmness of undisturbed water. The illusion of belonging. Death As A Gift. These are but a minute illustration of the vast array of themes and explorations deliberated upon by Austin, TX trio GLASSING on their sophomore opus Spotted Horse. Weaving together layers upon layers of dense textures, swirling blast beats and looming atmospheres, GLASSING excel at the art of organized chaos through sound. Across 10 songs and 44 minutes, GLASSING blend elements of black metal and post-hardcore with ambient explorations, dream-pop sensibilities and grinding walls of sound that defy categorization. Spotted Horse is, at its core, a construction of dynamic, beautifully unsettling soundscapes and nothingness unsurfaced.

CHERUBS "Heroin Man"

LP - $17.25 / CD - $8.00 / CASSETTE - $8.00
STREET DATE: 8/4/23
CAT#: BPR-90
LABEL: Brutal Panda

Highly anticipated vinyl repress of the all-time noise rock classic true to the original 1994 pressing.

Heroin Man stands as both the chronological center of the Cherubs catalog, and it's defining moment. As one of noise rock's finest moments, Heroin Man is both a delicate, tragic statement and send-off to a friend who had OD'd, and a bellowing, roaring, over-amped screwball masterpiece of Butthole Surfers mayhem and Husker Du pop structures. It's sometimes difficult to distinguish between Kevin Whitley's guitar and Owen McMahon's bass, and that's precisely the point -- this is noise rock; and still at other's, Whitley's guitar is a washing, white-noise counterpoint to the pummeling rhythm section. This is a dense, sprawling, spiraling work showing a band peaking aesthetically, with perhaps an even more ambitious album to follow. Unfortunately, due to the usual host of reasons, that never occurred. Heroin Man was CHERUBS final studio album until their reformation 20+ years later.

TRACK LISTING:

  1. Stag Party
  2. Animator
  3. Blackhouse
  4. Baby Huey
  5. Dave of the Moon
  6. Coonass
  7. Mr. Goy
  8. Cockpit-Kiss: The Shine
  9. Venus Flytrap
  10. The Big Groovy
  11. Wornout Balls

MARKETING POINTS:

  • One of the most revered noise rock albums of all time originally released by Trance Syndicate in 1994 and reissued by AmRep in 1997 with alternate artwork.

CHERUBS "Icing (30th Anniversary Reissue)"

LP - $17.25 / CD - $8.00 / CASSETTE - $8.00
STREET DATE: 8/4/23
CAT#: BPR-91
LABEL: Brutal Panda

30+ years ago in Austin, TX 1992, cult kings of noise rock, CHERUBS, released their debut album, Icing, via Butthole Surfers drummer, King Coffey's, label Trance Syndicate. Originally recorded and produced by Mr. Colson (L7, Dwarves, Linkin Park), Icing has now been fully remastered and remixed from the original source tapes by Eric Wofford (Explosions in the Sky, Young Widows, The Black Angels), complete with new album art by the band's Kevin Whitley.

Much darker, aggressive and rawer than the material CHERUBS would become known for, Icing captures the band at their most primitive form while hinting at the melodic intricacies they would develop over the years. While still very much a "noise rock" album, Icing brings together influences from Seattle's first wave of late 80's grunge alongside the influential "noise" scene happening in Austin throughout the 90's. The album's single "All Chickened Out" even received some airplay on BBC Radio 1 by John Peel…a sure sign of the prestige such ugly, aggressive and deconstructed "music" would receive over the coming decades. This is where it all started for CHERUBS and somehow it's still happening over three decades later.

TRACK LISTING:

  1. Sugary
  2. All Chickened Out
  3. Half a Rat
  4. Come
  5. Ginger Upper
  6. Fed
  7. Shoofly
  8. Pink Party Dessert

LABEL: Brutal Panda

First time on vinyl since it's original release in 2015!

Austin, TX cult noise rock kings, Cherubs, return with 2 Ynfynyty, their first new recordings in over 20 years. Produced by Mike McCarthy (Spoon, ....And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead) and mastered by Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, Slayer) in the summer of 2014, 2 Ynfynyty finds the trio rejuvenated with a more dangerous sound then ever. Picking up where they left off while trekking down a few unexpected turns, Cherubs effortlessly mix distorted heaviness with sublime songcraft. If Queens of the Stone Age made a pummeling noise rock record, this would be it. The band's previous records (1992's Icing and 1994's Heroin Man) have reached legendary status in the noise rock world and this record will be no exception. 2 Ynfynyty proves that Cherbus' long hiatus was worth the two decade wait.

The brainchild of Caleb Scofield (Cave In, Old Man Gloom), ZOZOBRA formed in 2006 and quickly released two crushing full-lengths of atmospheric sludge metal, Harmonic Tremors (2007) and Bird of Prey (2008). Now five years later, the band has re-emerged with Savage Masters, their most aggressive and straightforward release to date. Bursting out the gate with a bold, determined purpose, Savage Masters is an unrelenting fury of post-hardcore ferocity and sludge-tinged amplifier crunch. This release, featuring long-time Cave In bandmates Adam McGrath (guitars) and J.R. Conners (drums), proves once and for all that ZOZOBRA are a veritable force to be reckoned with. Savage Masters was produced and recorded by Andrew Schneider (Unsane, Pelican) and contains stunning artwork by English alchemist Glyn Smyth (Unearthly Trance, Wolves in the Throne Room, Cough).

Local H "Local H's Awesome Quarantine Mixtape"

LP - $15.30
STREET DATE: 3/18/22
CAT #: BPR075
LABEL: Brutal Panda

Rock n' roll stalwarts Local H remain as prolific and hungry as ever three decades into their perennially loud career and even a global pandemic couldn't put a stop to that. During quarantine, LOCAL H frontman Scott Lucas began doing live streams from his living room (or bathroom… or bedroom…) on a near-daily basis. He covered everyone from Prince to Blondie to Fountains Of Wayne to Mark Lanegan. Fast forward a couple of months later and the band decided to pick the best of those “sessions” and record them for the third entry in their series of cover albums, aptly titled LOCAL H’s AWESOME QUARANTINE MIX-TAPE #3.

Recorded at Million Yen Studios in Chicago with their longtime collaborator Andy Gerber, the Awesome Quarantine Mix Tape is a testament to the solace that music can provide during the most difficult of times. Local H is set to embark on months of steady touring in support of the release, celebrating the return of live music and the world getting back into motion.

TRACK LISTING:

  1. When Doves Cry (Acoustic) - Prince
  2. Strangers - The Kinks
  3. Brandy (You're A Fine Girl) - Looking Glass
  4. Here Comes The Rain Again - Eurythmics
