Hello Folks,
we have some new releases up on the shop to pre-order, along with news of upcoming radio sessions, the Damaged Goods Christmas download album and details of the forthcoming Cute Lepers album. Read on!Louis Lingg & The Bombs - Hates Your Laws EP 7" Louis Lingg and the Bombs are goddamn punk-rock-garage-pop-anarcho saviours of the 2 and half minute pop song. They come from Paris where they regularly blow up little bars with explosions of snot and beer fuelled punk rock energy.
The group is named after Louis Lingg, the famous Chicago anarchist who committed suicide on death row in 1887. Some of their songs are ultra-political anarchist punk rock and some of their songs are like children's nursery rhymes. ALL of their song's are full of interesting pop hooks and melodies and they are sung with energy and commitment.
The line up:
Josh (ex-Tchiki Boum, ex-In Vitro, Producer of Underground Railroad, Foxglove, First Part, Flashing on Bright, King of Conspiracy and NMA ) on Vocals and Guitar.
Rudi Pourri (from Udigrudi) on Bass and Vocals.
Ben Flob (visual artist) on Guitar and Vocals.
Gilbertmuda (ex- The Troglodites) on Drums and Vocals.
Clem Phlegm (from Foxglove) on keyboards/ Julie Hate on vocals
Their influences:
Punk bands like The Briefs, The Epoxies, Antiflag, Pansy Division and The Dickies. They have a strong love of '77 style punk like The Buzzcocks, The Clash, The Adverts and The Undertones.
Not forgetting that they are children of the 90s having grown up with bands such as Nirvana, Bikini Kill, Sleater Kinney and The Butthole Surfers. In their song-writing however, their admiration of classic children's songs is clearly visible, as is their 60s influences; Shirley Ellis, Aretha Franklin and Nancy Sinatra.

Reverse - Glance Sideways CDThis is a 23 track CD compilation bringing together all of REVERSE’s recordings including the three 7” singles we released back in 1995-6 ‘Stem The Slide’ (Which was ‘Single of the week’ in KERRANG! ‘Lock’ & ‘Stagnant’ plus their tracks from their debut split single plus 15 unreleased gems.
The CD contains a full history of the band written by lead singer Nick Sharratt plus loads of unseen photos, reviews and a full discography.
Reverse Jam formed in Barlaston near Stock in 1990, they dropped the ‘Jam’ shortly afterwards, their first proper gig was with the Venus Beads in 1991, lots of local shows followed and by the end of 1992 they had released their debut singles, a split with Exit Condition on Vitamin Z. They signed to Damaged Goods for three singles in 1995, they received some great press including SOTW in Kerrang and strong reviews in the NME plus loads of Radio 1 airplay nad very nearly signed to Mushroom records, which was scuppered when Rupert Murdoch brought the label in 1996, he wasn’t a fan!
They eventually split in 1997 after a final recording session with Frankie Stubbs from Leatherface, heard for the first time on this release.
Released on November 30th, you can pre-order a copy by clicking on the artwork below:-
