With members from such diverse bands as SNOUT, THE MEANIES, THE EGOS, THE TOMORROW PEOPLE, DUNG, ROSS MCLENNANS WISHBONE KNEES, DAN BRODIE AND THE BROKEN ARROWS, GOLDEN SHOWER, THE BREADMAKERS, and THE CURLY WURLYS, you'd expect THE BAKELITE AGE to sound like a dogs breakfast...but NO....they don't........sound like a dogs breakfast. They sound like a chicken and champagne breakfast....that is..if you were to substitute Chorizo for chicken and Sangria for champagne. A perfect mix of Melvins & Beatles!!!

2nd edition in deluxe white cover!!!!

THE BEASTS OF BOURBON ARE BACK!!! Older, dirtier and more dangerous than ever.

The edition of the new album "little animals" means, besides of the return of the one we believe is the best Australian band (ever!!!), another turn in their amazing music career.

A record that moves among swamp blues, Aussie 70s hard (kinda AC/DC, ROSE TATTOO), NEIL YOUNG & CRAZY HORSE psychodelia and the unique BEASTS OF BOURBON sound.

Songs of hatred and anxiety which speak about subjects such as sadomasochism, overdoses, death, betrayal and thug behavior so well known by this buch of bad men and better musicians.

When you listen to it you still have that feeling of danger going down your spine, and the feeling of them saying something like "fuck! how we hate each other!!!"

After showing during the last two years on stage that they keep on being one of the most burning and dangerous bands, in July 2006 they get into the studio in Melbourne and give birth (in 3 days!!!) to this sonic punch.

The rythm base of Brian Hooper and Tony Pola stands raw and hard as a rock, the guitars of Spencer P. Jones and Charlie Owen cut like a rusted razor and the voice of Tex Perkins rapes your ears with his suburbian blues.

Another master piece released for the whole planet by ALBERT MUSIC and licesed to BANG! Rcds. for a limited vinyl edition of 1000 numbered copies in deluxe gatefold and 180gr vinyl.

6 NEW TRACKS FROM ONE TIME SCIENTIST,  BORIS SUJDOVIC.

“Crazy world this. Boris Sujdovic, former bass player for The Scientists, Beasts of Bourbon and the Dubrovniks, has just released a new album, Fuzz Machine. Funny thing is, it’s got no bass on it.

But don’t think it’s lacking any thrust. It’s psychotic, unsophisticated garage fuzz at it’s most primal, as wild and primitive as anything you’ve ever heard. A drum beat with a guitar riff, that’s all, but what else do you need, apart from a fridge full of booze and the stereo turned up full at three in the morning, pissing off  those metro sexual neighbours who play that EMO shit all day.

Less is More”.

Brian Henry Hooper (BEASTS OF BOURBON, KIM SALMON & SURREALISTS, VOYEURS) shocks us again with this gem in the most pure tradition of Australian R´N´R. There was an empty vacant place for too long among the swamp bluesmen. It´s covered again! He gave us a bit of it with the edition of his band THE VOYEURS, and now he highlights with this wonder where he vomits all his demons.

Don´t be afraid of mixing the most acid John Lennon, with Johnny Thunder´s  "Hurt Me", with the beasts and the surrealists. Add all the hatred caused by so many years of retained silence, and there you are! "lemon lime & bitter". It´s a bomb that explodes in your hands, from the begining to the end. It´s a record that you cannot let go once you start listening to it. You simply keep on listening til it´s over. You´re hooked.

Once again, courtesy of BANG! Rcds, another collector item with the most excluive antipodic sound. Deluxe digipack CD (1000 copies), and double gatefold LP full color (with 1 extra track + lyrics + recording info...) (500 copies). If i was you, i wouldn´t let it go, now that you have the change of getting it, bloke!

The Butcher Shop was the project developed by Tex Perkins, at the same time as Beasts Of Bourbon, in the late 80s.

In this band, the artist showed his wildest, brutal and sonic side, walking amont swamp blues and grunge (before the name "grunge" existed for music)

In this sonic adventure Mr. Tex Perkins was surrounded by several musicians, such as people from Lubricated Goat, Beasts Of Bourbon (Spencer P. Jones) or the American musician Kid Congo Powers (The Gun Club, The Cramps, Nick Cave & Bad Seeds...) among others.

Here you will find, among other wonders, the original version of the song which became a hit afterwards with Beasts Of Bourbon, "hard for you".

This edition compiles the LP and EP released by this band in between 1988 and 1990, and which are totally impossible to find nowadays. These 15 tracks are all the band recorded.

Ian Rilen would have achieved lasting notoriety if his only claim to fame was as the founding songwriter for Rose Tattoo who left because the bands choice of music wasnt hard enough.

Then he had to go and form X and unleash a strain of high-energy music so visceral and basic that it almost defies description.

For three decades, clutching only a bunch of street-level songs and a weathered bass or six-string guitar for protection, the mercurial Rilen has been an indestructible figure on the Australian music scene.

PENNY IKINGER, Founder guitar player of the mighty WET TAXIES and LOUIS TILLETT. Ocasional member or cooperator of  names such as HOSS, TEX PERKINS, KIM SALMON & SURREALISTS or CHARLIE OWEN (among many others). This lady, living leyend of the Australian scene, starts her solo career with this marvelous record, which has been already released on CD in the USA by DENIZ TEK (RADIO BIRDMAN) label, CAREER RCDS.

In this record cooperate, among others, BRIAN HENRY HOOPER and CHARLIE OWEN (both in the mighty BEASTS OF BOURBON), as well as LOUIS TILLETT himself. This record takes from the sonic extreme of the SCIENTISTS, through delicate and sensual melodies, up to moments that could be easily described as erotic. Melody and noise, hummed to your ear in a way that, for sure, you haven´t heard before. Don´t miss it or you will regret it.

It´s another advice from BANG! RCDS. As usual, limited deluxe gatefold edition of 500 copies.

It's happening very soon!!! The debut Leadfinger album called "the floating life" will be released on glorious Limited Edition GATEFOLD VINYL and cool CD DIGIPACK by Bang! Records. "the floating life" is pretty much a solo album from a truly independent and humble underground legend of the Australian music scene, Stewy 'Leadfinger' Cunningham.

Garry Gray (vocals, backing vocals, lyrics), Spencer P Jones (guitar, backing vocals), Penny Ikinger (guitars, backing vocals), Terry Doolan (guitars, organ, backing vocals), Mark Ferrie (bass), Nick Rischbieth (bass), Stephan Fidock (drums).

The most legendary Australian band ever of swamp blues, THE SCIENTISTS, include in this release their greatest songs + previously unreleased demos and live recordings of the 80s.

Leaded by Master Kim Salmon, Tony Thewlis, Boris Sujdovic and Brett Rixon created their unique sound of distortion and anger based on blues roots.

It includes previously unshown pictures as well as exclusive band history and interviews.

A master piece on its own.

Released by Bang! Rcds. with the usual label quality on double 180gr vinyls and gatefold sleeve. Licesed by Cherry Red Rcds.

Tony Thewlis (THE SCIENTISTS, INTERSTELLAR VILLAINS) is the responsable for this new project, THE SCOUNDRELLES.
A gathering of his unique style well known due to his work in THE SCIENTISTS and influences such as ALEX CHILTON or T-REX, create the sound of THE SCOUNDRELLES, where pop meet impossible melodies and interstellar music trips.
Noise pop and beautiful sounds taken to weird places by the hand of this master of electric sound.
Mentioning the cover of SUCIDE´s "rocket U.S.A." is a must in order to see where the music goes to.
A beautiful gem manufactured by BANG! Rcds. for this Australian musician and his band located in London.
Limited edition (500 copies) 180gr vinyl LP with gatefold cover and CD digipack with triple cover.
Soon to be a collector´s item.

Australian legend Spencer P. Jones (The Beasts Of Bourbon, The Johnnys) records this last album up to date in his particular raw bluesy mood.
In this occasion he is backed by The Escape Committee (which has been his backing band for the last few years)
A crossway where Keith Richards, Richard Hell and Aussie swamp blues meet in melodies and compositions, and they are supported with the cooperation of other musicians such as Charlie Owen.
In this new album Spencer P. Jones shows up his musical debt with The Rolling Stones and takes it to his musical side.
Of course there are as well dark and apocalyptic tracks with the genuine sound of SPJ (listen for example to "death trip U.S.A.")
Released on gatefold 180gr vinyl, limited deluxe edition of 500 copies by BANG! Rcds. You know the rest...

“DEVIL AND DAUGHTER” is the debut album from Melbourne-based music artiste STU THOMAS (known the world over for his bass work with Kim Salmon & the Surrealists, Kim Salmon & The Business, The Scientists, Dave Graney & Clare Moore Featuring The Lurid Yellow Mist, The Brass Bed, Luxedo and more…).

Under the influence of writers, poets and revolutionaries,  Stu T offers a rich musical journey through a darkly compelling world that’s bursting at the seams with an unholy grace.

A world of menacing glances, seedy bars, red wine and heavy breathing over a dodgy phone line. Think of the soundtrack to a 50’s film noir outing, with Stu T as detective, inhabiting scenes full of intrigue, cigarette smoke, the wife of another man and heavy consequences,  all played out in saturated black and white.

Deep-well baritone vocals and warm, nocturnal undercurrents recall Serge Gainsbourg and Johnny Cash, alongside twisted Lee and Nancy duets for a new generation.

Recorded in Stu’s Melbourne home, Audrey Studios (Melbourne) and Mez Studios (Berlin),  all songs were penned by Stu T except for the chilling re-working of “Folsom Prison Blues”. Guest appearances include: Clare Moore (Moodists),  Anna Burley (Killjoys) and Mike Noga (The Drones).
