Bishi - Nights at the Circus - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Double vinyl LP pressing. 2017 holiday . How beautiful Christmas could be - if it weren't for Christmas. What may seem like a utopian idea of cultural romanticism is actually the premise of Germany's major avantgarde outfit Panzerballett's X-Mas Death Jazz. For too long the festivity has wasted away between well-meant InchMerry ChristmasesInch and gifts that would best be put away again right away. However, Panzerballett now offer a solution to that dilemma. Extremized Christmas songs - entirely without the dirty snow, crowded city centers and disgusting spiced wine. On X-Mas Death Jazz, Panzerballett utilize universally known Christmas songs from all over the world such as 'White Christmas', German classic 'Leise rieselt der Schnee' as well as 'Last Christmas'. However, the jazz-metal impresarios show no mercy so that, except for the basic tone progression, no stone is left unturned - none whatsoever. Once again Panzerballett utilize their self-perfected concept of InchVerkrassungInch (InchextremizationInch) and thus create jazz-metal monsters that fuse technical force with the warmth of ease. The virtuoso skills of Jan Zehrfeld (guitar), Joe Doblhofer (guitar), Alxander von Hagke (saxophone), Heiko Jung (bass) and Sebastian Lanser (drums) add to a record that does not only have something to say but is also an enormous amount of fun. X-Mas Death Jazz can be summed up in few words Hooray, de-Christmastized Christmas!

Meet Me @ The Altar present a new musical and cultural paradigm for pop punk. The Florida-based trio-Edith Johnson [vocals], Téa Campbell [guitar], and Ada Juarez [drums]-write the kinds of anthems that you can scream along to at a festival, head-bang to in a club, or sit with while in your feelings at home. The women may have met via YouTube - in true modern-day fashion - but the band shares a classic mission. Flipping the script for rock music and it's culture, they bring together elements of Warped Tour-era punk, 2010s pop, and easycore.

Wisconsin-based band's classic album from 1973 shows off their great hard rock & blues talents, very much in the style of the Eagles, Tongue & Deerfield - includes their Panda 45 tracks that were supposed to be on their never finished 2nd album.
