Rock & Roll Must Die

Legendary Crypt records have been the forerunning purveyors of of dirty garage rock since the 1980s. Crypts ‘Back from the grave’ compilations inspired, and continue to inspire, underground music scenes across the globe.
The Crypt stables include such inspirational and seminal Luminaries as The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Guitar Wolf, The Gories, Oblivians, Thee Headcoats, New bombTurks, Lyres and Teengenerate.

Asked by Crypt to produce their fifth single, Atomic Suplex instead delivered an album, which incidentally, bares the converted catalogue number Crypt LP- 100 no less.

‘Bathroom party’ is a physical assault of sound that makes slick, overproduced and overhyped rock look at it’s shoes in shame. Who cares if they’re hitting the right chord or tuning their instruments correctly, what counts here is the pure, fiery passion and animalistic explosion of feedback and rock ‘n’ roll.

Coming very soon. . . . .

CIRCOLO CULTURALE STILEMIO

Oh dear the shop does look in a sorry state, after our short tour of Italy everything bar our split single with Japanese monsters Theee Bat is now sold out (and I think we only have four copies of that – but I’ll need to check a smelly tour bag, so for now let’s just assume it’s true).
We will be filling up the shelves very soon with our new DVD, a hyper limited edition 10 track CD and the Frantic City extended remix of ‘Rock & Roll Must Die’ cassette.

Also coming soon is our next vinyl record for Crypt, whatever that might be. . . . .

If you like watching things, enjoy live music, Japanese garage bands, Atomic Suplex and DVDs . . . Well you are going to love this, it’s got all of those things put together.

Yeah, MySpace has really shot itself in the foot trying to hard to be like a facetwitter. It’s all over the place and overcomplicated. Used to be a simple way to find new bands and keep in touch with promoters and music fans.

Anyway we came across Bandcamp as an alternative. Deadly simple and to the point. To celebrate the new year we have stuck up five tracks to download for FREE. The future may bring more, lets see how it goes.

Atomic Suplex on Bandcamp

That’s right kids, it’s the only way we ever sell out (though if you are listening Sony, we are still good for that lunch).

You idiot! should have bought one while you could, or maybe Radiowave should have printed more. Actually you might still be able to get one from someone else in europe or wherever, I could only find this place (but I didn’t look very hard).

I also found two more copies of the swankers split behind the sofa. I’m torn between doing a competition, or waiting to get all big like the Rolling Stones and selling them at a hugely inflated price. I will of course have a hugely inflated bank account by then and won’t need the money (unless my almost certainly hugely inflated ego has spent it all).

Yeah that’s right we are ‘Classic Rock’. Very classy.
Somehow we managed to get onto the the cover CD to this months magazine. 70,000 copies worldwide apparently. I’m going to have to start drinking tea with my little finger pointing out.

We have now sold out of the Swankers Split single. If you already have one, well done, when we get to number 1 in the pop charts that’s going to be worth big bucks. You should have bought two.

Crypt Records in Germany have a small amount of copies on sale.

As far as I am aware no others exist anywhere other than the ‘awesome’ section of private record collections.

You can pick up an import of the Suplex / Bat LTD split single on this very site.
Four tracks on a LTD hand numbered yellow 7 inch vinyl disc.

The Theme from Atomic Suplex
Diamond Skull

Bats L.U.V.
Willie the Wild One.

Theee Bat are not only legends of the Tokyo garage scene,
they are quite possibly the greatest band that ever lived.

It is an honor and a privilege to serve with them. If I didn’t already have one I would stop typing this and buy a copy right away. Then I would buy another for fear that anything happened to the first one.
And so should you!

Bats L.U.V.

The new split single with the excellent and crazy Tokyo Legends Theee Bat is now available in Japan and will soon be over here in the UK.

We will be celebrating it’s launch at the Amersham in New Cross on the 11th June. More details to follow.
