GHOST WHALE-ECHO:ONE C60!

Howzabout some Thud, m'lud? TWO count em TWO basses and ONE drummer, samples and video comprise this fuckin' A power trio of lurch merchants from Brussels! Pretty sure this is the first batch of international bench warmers on the AVRCRC roster-and that ain't nothing to sneeze at, Chuck! Sound-wise, don't expect any gentle etudes dedicated to a flower here. Just a few low grinding notes on four strings (x2!) over maniacal industrial pounding! Good for you, good for them. Editions will be limited, on our end and on their end, but who promised you a rose garden?! Perfect "Watch The World Burn" jams! GET IT HERE

NEW NEW NEW!

Holy balls, those nice young gentlepersons from Wisconsin are back and uh...well, you asked for it, bucko. Regular tuners-in will remember crushing riffs and cement block rhythm section with feral, throat shredding vocals-oh yes- but what's this!?? Blurred almost *gasp* blissful Sh*egaze guitars?! An occasional sung vocal? Yeah, this stew's coming together real nice.

This is the soundtrack to the print version of what used to be an online comic made pals in different area codes. Most tracks were written specifically about events that occur in the story, some are just nice pieces that carry the story along. In some instances pieces of these songs were written and recorded and sent to the other person for added embellishment. In loving memory of David Bessent.

OUT NOW!!!

Your favorite Electro-Caveman Thud Metal merchants are back with an EP that eats like a meal. Certified pummeling ensured, but this time enrobed in bleak electronic soundscapes that leave you looking over your shoulder for the next Atomic Mutant attack. Safety continues to not be guaranteed on this mission. Get it HERE

The Man returns. You know The Man, Benny Divine? Natural Child, Heavy Lids, Gary Wrong Group, Roman Gabriel Todd's Beast Rising Up Out of The Sea....BENNI?!? Yeah, that guy. Well, now he's FAT SAVAGE: No bullshit, scuzzed out blasters that are gone before you know what knocked you on your ass. Wrecked guitar and bass tussle with a drum kit being dragged down the street while bullhorn vocals remind you where you got those Thrills, Pills and Bellyaches. Sounds like it was recorded in a hurricane because it fucking was. Get it HERE

AVRCRC0040: DJ RAT-WARD: GONZO DISCO VOL. 1 COMING SOON!

FLASH! AVRCRC returns with this hot little chunker! COORDINATED SUICIDES are from Madison Wisconsin. They seemed like such nice boys, until you listen to the hell they unleashed. Side A is the studio versions of hateful, unrelenting noise rock; feverishly scraping and clawing to escape it's own planet destroying low end blurt. But don't worry wussies, there's a healthy dollop of grunge groove and *gasp* some melody-but not much, so don't get yer hopes up. Side B is a live recording so you can recreate the skirmish at home. Listen here!!!

OUT NOW! AVRCRC0031 and AVRCRC0032: ROMAN GABRIEL TODD'S BEAST RISING UP OUT OF THE SEA "Live" C32 and DEN "Blossom Juice" C44

Bass, Drums, Vocals and a special guest appearance by UNCLE JOE! An unrelenting thrash attack from head to toe (and sometimes in that interesting zone in the middle there.) Must be seen to be believed, but if you can't see it LISTEN/BUY HERE

OUT NOW ON AVRCRC! DEN "Blossom Juice" C44/download: Upon crash landing in rural Michigan (Benton Harbor, to be exact) our heroes unpacked their large instruments and set up camp. Using the re-entry-burnt hull of their ship, electronics of varying crudity (synths, oscillators, tape loops, contact mics) along with the standard bass and drums; our hapless shipwrecked crew attempted to create a distress beacon consisting of unhinged biker rok, earth rumble, misty mountain fug and comet screams. Hell, there's even a guitar in there! LISTEN/BUY HERE!

EVERYTHING HALF OFF END OF THE YEAR BLOW OUT SALE!!!

Yep. Everything's half off until 2014! Tapes, downloads, the whole bit!!! Remember: buying digital goes DIRECTLY to the Humble Sorcerers on this label! You're helping them buy a slice of pizza for the energy to make more weird stuff.

PUKE SKYWALKER "Poison Coma" C32/Download OUT NOW!!!!

AVRCRC0030-Puke Skywalker "Poison Coma" C32 A finely stewed pop song is diced and mashed into a fine paste and spread on a sandwich you can't possibly eat the entirety of. Low-bit head wound dance-floor hits that will stick to the roof of your mouth for weeks. "Wouldn't Wanna" is the summertime narco-jam of 2K13. One of my favorite new AVRCRC releases!

Buy Here!

AVRCRC0028: ALKOR/NEBRASKA split C32/Download OUT NOW!!!!

AVRCRC0028-Alkor/Nebraska, USA split C32-This marks the first release in which someone asked ME to put out their tape! Hot damn!

Alkor is a true blue bedroom pop outfit, it's got a definite later HALF JAPANESE/LOU REED vibe happening-slightly fuzzed out summer jams with a dab of clarinet/drum machine action tossed in for good measure.

Nebraska, USA is a full-on AOL welcome screen laptop blazer-Chill thumps and sea breeze tones flutter along; perfect for late night drives. Drones, clicks and clacks are the mode of the day.

Buy here!

PUPDATE OCTOBER 2012

Just letting you know that AVRCRC don' gon' be BLOWIN' UP in November!

Just got the tracks for An Evening With Rob and Rosa at the Super Piano Bounceyball! This is one long piece for modified organ! Imagine a character from a Hayao Miyazaki film: A lumbering, wooden, sentient, robot made from Wurlitzer organ parts. Creaking slowly, dropping gumball machine rubber balls, wheezing and galumping towards you. This will be on a C30 and no doubt look and sound fantastic! Here's an excerpt:

AND! Working on the ALKOR/NEBRASKA USA artwork right now, too! Just got word from dudes that they'll be having a release show for this tape, so if you're in Baltimore--you've been warned!

And if that we're enough, our own NEW WAVE DYKE will finally be finishing the much anticipated "SENSITIVE MALE ALBUM"! An all covers affair featuring a few FM lite rock favorites faithfully redone on Casio, Drums, Guitar and Bass! Sung with a boyish earnestness that only NWD could muster. No irony allowed! Perfect for your next make-out party! WATCH THIS SPACE!

Serious Business.

AVRCRC0029 The Dirty Soxx "Formerly Known As The Ham-Fisted Barber" DIGITAL RELEASE!!!!

Yup, you don't have enough spazz-mo improv freak outs in your life. Breaks down like this:

Thrown together by sheer fate in an Otsego, Michigan rumpus room, brother (Scott, Drums-18 at the time) and sister (Kelsey-Vocals, 10 years old at the time!) are aided by AVRCRC Head honcho Ian D. Piirtola for a frenzied pixie stix-snorting freakout, blaring loud'n proud!

The concept was simple: whatever words popped into Kelsey's head, a song was written around it on the spot! Bass was later overdubbed (all in one take to preserve improvitablity!) The result is a delightful squawk and splang bash-fest with a healthy dollop of hooks!

HEAR Brother and sister argue MID-SONG!

HEAR Kelsey expertly recite a report on Babe Ruth over a half remembered stab at Survivor's "Eye Of the Tiger"!

HEAR Pure 10 year old rage at the world: Skittles suck!, Arthur sucks! YOU SUCK.

HEAR frenzied drumming dash around cheap guitar mangle 'em, strangle 'ems! Bass appropriately rumbles and grumbles beneath vocals not always pointed at the mic, due to constant live-action tantrums not heard since Barney quit!
