Kozmic Artifactz Reissue His Masters Voice's 1st 2 EPs as Limited Edition Vinyl

Jesse Sorensen: Vocals & Guitar / Az Burns: Guitar / Rene Harvey: Drums / Brandon Bott: Bass / Photo: Lycan Photography


His Masters Voice from Auckland, New Zealand call their style of music “The Devils Blues”. Listen to any of their releases, 2014's 'Possession' 'Save My Soul' from 2016 or their latest EP, 'Woman' released in October of 2017, and you will hear influences from the greats of classic HEAVY rock but with a contemporary energy and relevance.

Musically and visually the band possess an inventive and original signature style that showcases the strength of their collective song writing, yet allows their individual talents to show through. His Masters Voice put everything into their live performance. To them, their audience comes first and that audience grows in number and dedication with every show.

Take the blues and revive them with dosage of danger. Add filthy southern rock riffs. Swirl in a generous serving of Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. Drop in a few drugs. And then, amidst the swirling haze, you will find you have produced His Master's Voice. (willnotfade)

The Speedlights Set To Release 'Night Driver'



Power Pop and Roll from Texas!!

The Speedlights outta Denton, Texas, play powerful power pop rock n roll tunes. Dwayne Ray (Guitar/Vocals), Josh Prisk (Drums), and Tony Greene (Bass/Vocals) used to play music together back in what? 1992? Well, they got back together during 2015 and added in the famous Jess Boyer (Guitar) the UPS driver for maximum on time delivery of some extra jangle.

Dwayne and Josh had discussed one day their mutual love of power pop and how more recent groups (1990s+) seemed to not have that 70's edge of the early groups and decided to get back to writing tunes again along with their old friend Tony and see if they could bring that edge.

They play original tunes that are in the vein of Big Star, The Cars, Cheap Trick, and The Ramones. They released their debut self titled EP in 2015 which received local air play, inclusion on several podcasts, as well as air time in Sweden and the UK.

"A mix of The Raspberries Power Pop Sound mixed with the Revival Mod/New Wave bands from England in the late 70's." - Ice Cream Man Power Pop and More, Sweden




Two years after their self titled debut EP, The Speedlights return with their first full length album, "Night Driver". The ten new tracks build on the late '70s powerpop influences that formed the earlier recording, but it's almost as if the band have now moved ahead a few years into the new wave early '80s. The pop hooks are still ever present for the North Texas quartet, though the addition of random synthesizer lines and occasionally darker moods are more akin to The Cars than The Knack this time out. "Night Driver" will be released early November 2017, by Jigsaw Records on CD and Wiener Records on cassette.

01. After Tonight
02. She's Alright
03. What's It Gonna Take?
04. Blame It On The Stereo
05. She'll Be There
06. Head In The Clouds
07. Summer Nights
08. Out Of Sorts
09. Try To Forget You
10. Pawn Takes King

Releases November 4, 2017.

This album is bloody good folks and a worthy addition to your music collection, you can pre-order this mighty fine album either as Digital Album for $7 USD or more/ Compact Disc for $10 USD or more from HERE, and with your help, we can bring back the power of Pop and Roll to the peoples!


The album will also be available from the Jigsaw Records site once released.

BOUND BY LAW



Bound By Law is a Danish country group with roots solidly planted in the heritage of traditional American country, blues and bluegrass. The sound is rough, dusty and honest, and the lyrical universe is centered around the dark and irrational aspects of modern life. If you like the old outlaws of the genre, perhaps Bound By Law is a band for you.

DOG HAND STRING BAND [2017] Tooth n Nail



Hailing from Leeds, UK and forming in late 2015, then placed on feared permanent hiatus, due to the banjo player's hand gettin 'bit off by a damn mutt'. The band, consisting mainly of members of Bootscraper, Jake and the Jellyfish, Bad Knaves and China Shop Bull, forthwith dubbed themselves Dog Hand String Band. Now they're back with working fingers, ravenous hunger, righteous ire and sinister new powers.

What is a dog hand? Poison soaked murder ballad, backwoods bluegrass, horror folk. Liquor, corruption and bad juju. Imbibe at own risk.



01 - Intro/Blood Moon Blues
02 - Threw You In The Well
03 - Aristabano Mountain Bar
04 - Gin Shop Hollow
05 - Long Live The Dead
06 - Behold The Crow

"Tooth n Nail" was recorded entirely live in a mere 2 hours, no money, no edits, no bullshit, representing the awful cacophony you'll see live. Mixed by the band's idiot banjo player/singer and mastered on the promise of a place to stay to bide out the coming apocalypse. This is the first Dog Hand. There is another on its way. Free to download. Due dirt for true devils.

THE MYSTERY GIRLS [1983] Rock n' Roll With The Mystery Girls

The four tracks featured here are the far-superior demos recorded in Switzerland with a full band that included not only the future World Famous Mr. Ratboy, but also the enigmatic Zmotron, who went on to play in an early incarnation of The Dogs D’Amour under the name Mark Draxx.

DIRT SEARCH HEADLIGHT [1994] Year 2


Taking their name, as you do, from an old Hoover vacuum model, Dirt Search Headlight was formed circa 1992 following the demise of Philly’s Red Herring and Carnival of Shame. The band featured future Sour Jazz singer Mr. Popular (Lou Paris) and drummer Splat Action (Pat Fitzgerald), alongside guitarist Mark Telling and bass player Spencer Lloyd. These tracks were recorded circa 1994 by Kramer at Noise New Jersey. The band fell apart before anything was released, but the song “Australia” did end up as the theme of the very first X Games TV special on ESPN. CLICK HERE for live footage from 1993.
