NP051 Wet Hair - 08 Tour Tape C30 $5

First document of Wet Hair as a  2 piece band, shows this quickly evolving project at its best thus far. Cult electric gospel burning, flowing over layers of analog synth atmosphere and industrial trance punk. More focused around distinctive vocal, organ and synth arrangements, with touches of live drumming giving way to drum machine pulse and electronic spew. Melodic, upbeat, focused, dark, warm, cold, catchy, and confusing,  Wet Hair is just beginning to grow into its own possibilities. Art by SDREED. MYSPACE

NP050 Teeth Mountain - S/T C41 $5

Teeth Mountain are a heavy hitting drone and percussion unit from Baltimore. On this tape of hard hitting jams dense walls of cello, guitar, electronics and feedback glide along with an upbeat wave of percussion and drum pummel, a sound that would seem to fill the loftiest of churches, temples or gymnasiums. Featuring a revolving cast of Baltimore's finest, Teeth Mountain collage together some of there best live spills on this cassette of epic endless burners. Art by SDREED. MYSPACE

NP049 Earth Crown - Say Fuck You to the Beast C25 $5

Earth Crown is Door, and Door is Earth Crown, Door moved down to  Baltimore's annihilated warehouse district a few months ago from his legendary former address Castle Puppy in New Brunswick NJ and the change seems to make sense, the sound collected on this tape relates to the deserted post apocalyptic feel of the cities most lost inhabitants and streets.  Sci Fi sythy feedback fuckers, crust nihilism, industrial pulse wars, termination soundtracks, ultra control feeding into chaotic electronic spew, dystopian rules. Door is dialed into a dark cold future. Ragging and minimal, music for replicant dreams. Art by Door.

NP040 Talk Normal - S/T C20 $5

Talk Normal is a new 2 piece from Brooklyn NY consisting of members Andrya Ambro and Sarah Register. Disjointed angular structures contrast dense waves of percussion, found sounds, and melodic vocals, totally minimal and maximal all at once. Ridding out post punk creep jams and collage numbers reminiscent of This Heat,Talk Normal is a fresh one, lacking any kind of easy pigeon holing bullshit. This is really considered stuff. Very recommended. Art by SDREED. MYSPACE

Play it loud. Ultra deluxe silkscreened artwork by SDREED. As much of a visual artifact as a medium of sound. Click image to see full artwork.

NP039 Social Junk - Champs 08 C41 $5

Met this group of West Virginians down in Miami at INC back in Feb. I was instantly siked on there sound and live show. Total wreckage, throwing drums around the room, yelling into broken mics, four track warble, guitar feedback, totally unhinged damage but focused and intense. Comparisons to Sword Heaven, Savage Republic, The Dead C, etc. might be accurate but overall Social Junk is really hard to pin down. Haunted electronics, floating on an endless barrage of pissed vocals and repetitive drum jams. Silkscreened Artwork by SDREED. Social Junk full length LP coming soon on Not Not Fun. MYSPACE

NP038 Ryan Garbes - Shit Education C32 $5

Garbes is back at it, blown over saturated tape punk psychosis, harsh head psych fusion rippers, another slab of destroyed rock greatness. This one even more catchy then the last. Like listening to your guts fall out on the floor while some rockers annihilate a house party in the background. Totally a sound of its own, influenced by all the greats with deluxe double sided silkscreened fold out covers by the man himself. MYSPACE

NP037 SHV - s/t C40 $5

Ali formerly of the excellent Boston act Dreamhouse is SHV (Superior Human Vomit). I first got turned onto SHV via Ali playing in the basement here at Night People HQ. After that night Ali gave me a copy of her killer first SHV tape - Endless Love, on the Rare Youth label. SHV is never the same thing twice, always performative, always sitting on the edge of failure and greatness, always pushing the boundary. I've seen SHV jump through a ceiling to start a set, tie up a whole audience, stick a dude in an oven, and generally just rock the fuck out always. This tape doesn't disappoint either, blown out synth and drum machine burners, catchy post punk hypnosis, cultist weirdo gestures , something new on every listen of this especially hard to pin down puke punk project. Art by SHV, Printing by SDREED, with fold out double sided covers.

NP047 Ryan Garbes - Freedom Now FREE DOWNLOAD

Whats Garbes getting into these days, with his blown out over saturated tape production style, broken guitar, jazz fusion drum styles? Freedom Now Suite? downloadable album? just keeps getting weirder. Right from the start this is a great release, things get started with an ultra melodic guitar driven burner, then things start to break down, strange broken down beats, rythms and rough guitar styles, blown apart but still riding on some kind of wave of upbeat melody. Hidden in there somewhere is even some church organ jams. Another killer what the fuck new age punk blast from Raccoo-oo-oon drummer, visual artist, generally siked dude, Ryan Garbes..

NP036 Wet Hair - Irifi C20 $5

Wet Hair is the new solo outing of Raccoo-oo-oon member Shawn Reed. Cult vibe organ drone, slowed down tape hiss percussion warble, and chanted vocal bathed in echo, provide the basics for Irifi, a lone march across a desert, these are droney reverberations tinted with pop influence cloaked in the dark , music for  vampires. Recorded by Ryan Garbes for maximal blow out. Expect more from this quickly evolving project soon. Artwork by SDReed.
