Hound - Out Of Space - VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing. 2015’s No News From Home is the second album from Portland, Oregon quartet Houndstooth and the follow-up to Ride Out the Dark. That record was labeled Inchone of 2013's all too overlooked delightsInch by Spin while their hometown Portland Mercury called it Inchan extraordinarily good album, a perfect representation of the band's trademark balancing of ease and passion.Inch News is an altogether more mature record that widens the band’s sound From Velvets-style churners to shimmering, breezy, love songs, all penned by songwriting duo John Gnorski and Katie Bernstein.

Gunmetal Gray Vinyl. Channelling raw rock 'n' roll urgency into feral anthems for society's poor, depraved, and proudly miscreant, Absurdus Manifestus heralds the long overdue return of legendary Oz-outliers, Stepmother. Fusing high velocity Motor City proto punk with fuzz, feedback and electric psych, the band draw once more upon the spirit of Blue Cheer, The Pink Fairies, Nervous Eaters, and The Damned, to wield hardened punk and nefarious nihilism, to confront the absurdity, violence, and dark comedy of modern existence. The first single from their latest call to arms is 'New World' (released on 23rd January). Capturing the band at their most relentless and confrontational as Clise points out, InchIf this disappointing, hazardous sci-fi reality we live in wasn't enough of a bludgeoning, here's yet another boot up the arse with our take on a psychpunk dystopian anthem...Inch Additional tracks will further showcase the band's unhinged range. 'Slice of Life' blurs the fine line between total focus and all-out chaos, an unpolished stomper equally suited to shaking your ass or kicking holes in the wall, depending on your preference. Whereas 'What's New?' is a pub-rock rager packed with unrelenting rudeness and rapid-fire, razor-slashing riffs, delivering hyperactive proto-punk that laughs at the absurdity and pointlessness everything. In support of the album, Stepmother also tour Europe throughout June (see dates below) and while there's no doubt that the band will carve a mark in the annals of rock history with Absurdus Manifestus, the big question is, will you be joining them along for the ride?

Double vinyl LP pressing. Tony, Emmy and Grammy Award winner Hugh Jackman and Tony Award winner Sutton Foster lead an all-star cast in the Broadway revival of Meredith Willson's The Music Man. Often cited as the quintessential American musical, the story centers around a traveling salesman/conman and a prudish spinster librarian who together find that love and acceptance transcends people's differences. Set in the fictional city of River City, Iowa the musical's most famous number is the rousing Seventy-Six Trombones. The Music Man, which features a book, music, and lyrics by Meredith Willson, tells the story of what happens when con artist Harold Hill arrives in River City and falls in love with the straight-laced librarian, Marian. The work first opened on Broadway in 1957 at the Majestic Theatre. A 2000 revival played the Neil Simon Theatre. Jerry Zaks directs the new production of the musical, which also features vocal and dance arrangements by David Chase, orchestrations by Tunick, and music direction by Patrick Vaccariello.
