CASUS BELLI - TAILGUNNRANGELES (1994)

You fucking love this stuff... as do I.
Casus Belli features Anthony Martin, who was in Bastards, and also worked with Chokebore.
This is just the heavy, ugly, noisy thud that you expected from Amrep in the mid-90s.
This be their only full length. Get ready to get your head schmacked!!
(Amrep - 1994)

HAMMERHEAD - EVIL TWIN (1993)

Probably the best Hammerhead release. 7 songs all taken from singles. This shit is hard to beat.
I had to post some Hammerhead cuz...well...its Hammerhead.
But also because of the Amrep Bash 15 fest going on in Minneapolis this weekend.
Wish I could go. Guess I'll just sit home in my underwear with a cold 6 pack and listen to the bands in my living room. Sad mug.

KING SNAKE ROOST - FROM BARBARISM TO CHRISTIAN MANHOOD (1987)

Need some more classic boozy, bluesy, dirge rock up in these parts from King Snake Roost.
This is their first full length, originally on Aberrant, and later picked up by the fine folks at Amrep.
This album will be the perfect soundtrack to your night of debauchery you have ahead of you.
It's ok. We're all friends here. Your secrets are safe with us.

JON SPENCER BLUES EXPLOSION / MELVINS - BLACK BETTY SPLIT 7" (2011)

One song.
Two bands covering it.
Melvins.
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.
That's all you need to know.

MELVINS - NIGHT GOAT 7" (1992)

Classic Amrep and Melvins. Night Goat 2 song single from the early 90's featuring a Pussy Galore cover of Adolescent Wet Dream. Back in the day when it was fun collecting different colored vinyl of these singles.
Not sure how its different now actually, now that I think about it.
Essential. Get it? Got it? Good.
(Amphetamine Reptile - 1992)

DL: NIGHT GOAT

COWS - EFFETE AND IMPUDENT SNOBS (1990) & SORRY IN PIG MINOR (1998)

Ok ladies and germs. I think this wraps up the Cows records. The full lengths anyway.
Have to go back to check if I have all the singles up here.

Hope it was as good for you as it was for me.  The rubber, animals and oil got a little strange, but was still fun right? Ahh. I need a smoke.

COWS - SEXY PEE STORY (1993) & ORPHAN'S TRAGEDY (1995)

Keeping the Cows a comin'. 2 more essentials from the mid 90s to help fill out your collection.
Just think...someday your kids will find these records and think, damn my parents were fuckin' weird.
They must've been on drugs and cheap booze. Yep.

DL: SEXY PEE STORY
DL: ORPHANS TRAGEDY

COWS - CUNNING STUNTS (1992) & PEACETIKA (1991)

As promised, more Cows. This is a double album post (duh) with 2 of their early 90s albums. For me I feel the Cows were really hitting their stride and high point during these albums. Great songs, both writing and structures. Take a minute or near 70 to go back and re-visit these...funny I'm about to say this....classic Cows records.

PARTY DIKTATOR - STAND BEHIND ME 7" (1994)

So lets stick with 1994.... A good 'ol year. And Amrep.... A good 'ol label. You may have heard of 'em.
Here's some rockin' racket from Germany's Party Diktator. A 2-song 7"er for ya. Stand Behind Me backed with/ Quiet Line (Single Version). This being the only one on Amrep. They have 2 full lengths as well (which I should get up here) and a bunch of singles besides this one. Drink it in.
(Amphetamine Reptile - 1994)

CLUSTERFUCK '94 COMP (1994)

So this really needs no description, but needs to be here on the blog as a classic'.
What?!? ...a classic?... Really? That's what we're calling this stuff already? I mean it's no Van Halen Fair Warning, but it still kicks as much ass. Just in a different ass-kicking kinda way.

So back in the day, Amrep would send out bands to different countries together. They would tour together for a while, and it was a big deal. They did it with Helmet, Surgery, God Bullies, and Tar. Then this one with Guzzard, Today is the Day, and Chokebore. It was cool to see a bunch of killer bands at one gig. Plus you'd get a cool poster and other schwag.
So during the process of planning these 'bundle-tours' (I just made that up...I think), Amrep released these limited comps of the bands and a handful of songs to go with the tour. There were 7"s that had a few songs. A 10" which had a couple more. And a CD which had 'em all. This is one that happened back in...you guessed it...1994. So now lets go relive some glory days with this bad-boy. And I'm gonna throw on some Van Halen right after this.

DOPE, GUNS 'N FUCKING IN THE STREETS VOL 13 (2014)

Finally got around to ripping this bad boy.
Ahhhhh the Dope Guns series from Amrep Industries. One of the greatest inventions to the world since the wheel and telephone (and maybe the whiskey and Coke). You know what its all about. This is the newest installment, lucky numba 13, a limited edition 3x7" monster beast. Complete with 10 bands giving you 10 knuckle sammiches! ...Where's Dr. Sphincter?

KING SNAKE ROOST - THINGS THAT PLAY THEMSELVES (1989)

Have always been a fan of these fellers, but haven't listened to this in a while. Still holds up. Dirgy, dirty, greasy and grimey noise rock...just the way you like it (or not) ... from Australia's King Snake Roost. This is there 2nd full length album. The bass in this is ridiculous good. And the album art is spot on. Features members that were in Lubricated Goat, Bushpig, Bloodless and Grong Grong. So there.
(Aberrant/Amrep - 1989)

WHITE DRUGS - GOLD MAGIC (2010)

So I have music in the queue for posting usually. Either a draft saved or just a note in my small little noggin, (Self, you should post that cool record you just heard. People would dig it). Yes a weird twisted little order of things that sometimes goes that way, and sometimes not.
This is one of those cases where I had been planning to post this, but somehow a 1000 other albums said,
"Hey, look at me!", and distracted me.
Anyway I'm here to rectify. A suggestion from a fine visitor in the comments section reminded me from this link, to get THIS, balls out, no-nonsense, punch to the gut, noise rawk record on the blog pronto!! So I did. Enjoy.

Side note: This is one of (if not the last) Amrep record with this kind of cover art. Before Haze started doing the linocut covers. A little knowledge for your next trivia game at home with the family.
(Amphetamine Reptile - 2010)

BUSHPIG - SELF-TITLED LP & 7" (1989-90)

Bushpig was a project which was led by Peter Hill of King Snake Roost that released a 7" EP on Amphetamine Reptile, and a self titled LP on Hill's own PGK (Practical Goat Keeping) label. Bushpig has featuring members of King Snake Roost, No More Bandicoots, Feedtime, The Thrown Ups, Bloodloss, Lubricated Goat, Mudhoney & Monroe's Fur, so it's some kind of "Australian Grunge" jammed with "Seattle Grunge" super group.

MELVINS - 1983 & GAYLORD EPS (2012/13)

So these physical records on these new Melvins releases are on the pricy side and limited to pick up. But damn they're cool. I bought them up. The artwork and record combo is such a cool idea, and HazeXXL did a bang up job (as usual) on printing the covers and getting these packages together.
In case you didn't get a chance to pick these up, and don't want to pay those ungodly eBay prices, now you can have these killer tracks for your iThing. Great for the gym and working out those neck muscles.

THE POWERS THAT BE - CRUDE SOUND / THE MORNING AFTER 7" (1992)

I never know which art side picture to post. They're both cool. (Picture disc art by Dan Kalal.)
So this is The Powers That Be, from Manchester UK. They did this single, and one other song on a 4 band comp. Have to track it down somewhere. This single was for the Amrep Research & Development series from back in the early 90s. C'mon its Amrep...get it chumps!

HELIOS CREED - THE WARMING (1991)

I just posted Helios Creeds' first album on Amrep a few days ago.
So here's their second, 2-song single, first on Amrep. Essential space noise rock.

HELIOS CREED - THE LAST LAUGH (1989)

Wow, no Helios Creed on this blog yet. Well time to change that pronto.
This is their 2nd full length, and first on Amrep, from way back in '89.
There were a bunch of Space Shuttle launches that year. I heard the astronauts loved Helios Creed.
SSSSPPPPPAAACCCEEE ROOOOOOOOOCCCCCKKKK!

HEPA-TITUS - GETTIN' IT ON (2014)

If you know the bands on this blog, then these guys need no introduction.
Former members of the 90s noise rock heathens The Cows, post band called Hepa-Titus. This is their 3rd full length and 2nd on Amrep. LP and art by HazeXXL of course.
8 new rock 'em, sock 'em rollers just to ugly up your day.
