Total Stooges hardrock worship on this great French 7" originally released in 1981.

Inept art scronk with a Velvet vibe on this obscure French 7" from -82. Very few copies in stock...

Classic.

Time for some new musical ineptness. Enjoy!

 (stuff marked with * will arrive any day. Pre-orders welcome)

 

 



COLA FREAKS / SECRET PROSTITUTES – split-lp (Bad Hair Records) 120:-
 No need for words.

 

 

*WAKE UP DEAD – s/t, 7” (EZPZ) 45:-
From the same scene as Shitty Limits, Black Time and Hygiene. Some Black Timers in the band as well... Great straight ahead British punkrock.

 

POINTED STICKS – What do you want me to do, 7” (Ugly Pop) 50:-
Latest reissue offering from the Ugly Pop label. Great melodic punkrock.

 

 

BUREAUCRATS – Feel the pain, 7” (Ugly Pop) 50:-
More quality from Ugly Pop. Canadian, but a must if you like your punk the British way.

 

 

 

*VILLAGE PISTOLS – Big Money, 7” (Last Laugh) 55:-
Finally a vinyl reissue of this tape-trading classic. Big money – BIG MONEY!

 

 

*CARTOONS – She’s a rock and roller, 7” (Last Laugh) 55:-
Completely new to Art//Arse?.... Suppose it’s good since it’s on Last Laugh!

  

 

ROTTWEILER – I’m down, 7” (Singsing) 50:-
Powerpop(?) from the south of Sweden. Some love it, some don’t…

 

  

TESTORS – Two sides of death, 7” (Windian) 50:-
Recorded live and a really crude 7” from this great band. Art//Arse? dunno, but think the sound really fits them…

 

 

 

*SPIDER BABIES – The twenty year war, lp (Sack O Shit) 120:-
Latest offering from this very un-PC band, Might be their best release ever!

 

 

 

 

BREMEN - s/t, 2xlp (Skrammel) 120:-

Great noise/ambient/psych/weirdo/whatever from two Brainbombs members. Do you dare to try?

 

 

LIIMANARINA - Keskenmenobileet (7"ep:t & cp:t 1899-1919), lp (Rock'n'roll Bullshit etc.) 100:-

Total lunacy from this Finnish band. The Levande Begravd fanzine really did put words on Liimanarina when they wrote that the band sounded like what the Cramps "Live at Napa state Hospital" recording would have sounded like if it were played by the patients instead of the Cramps - haha!

A recommended compilation of their long gone 7-inches.

 

 

 

 

 

 BLACK BUG - Reflecting the light, lp (XVIII Records) 110:-

Great trashy synthpunk from this Swedes-relocated-to-France. Dark and intense!

 

Update #23!

 

Some new stuff in stock - enjoy!

 

 

SVART STÄDHJÄLP - Gatuvapen, cassette (Ljudkassett) 40:-

Latest offering from Malmoes finest. New songs only available here. Comes with download code. Limited to 100 copies - very few left so hurry up!

 

 



COLOURED BALLS - Ball power, lp (Singsing) 120:-
Early hardrock/"proto-punk" from Australia. Sounds very Australian. This is what Singsing says about it: "Coloured Balls were one of the best pure rock n roll groups to emerge from the early 70s Australian scene. Sure, The Saints and Radio Birdman stayed together longer and released a slew of fine albums during the punk era but it was the Coloured Balls who pioneered the proto punk sound earlier in the decade. Their wildcard was Lobby Loyde, Australia’s premier guitar hero whose pivotal roles in beat/psych/blues rock groups The Purple Hearts, The Wild Cherries and Billy Thorpe’s Aztecs made him a major home-grown star down under. Ball Power is full of raw, hard guitar rock and proto-punk. It's not only the Coloured Balls greatest album but also the finest music of Lobby Loydeâs long, fabled career"
Art//Arse? like this!

 

CLAP - Have you reached yet?, lp (Singsing) 120:-

A perfect mix of 60's punk and 70's rock on this great album from 1972. Very few copies left in stock at the moment I'm afraid...

 

 

Art//Arse? also got restocks of these:

 

Spelling Mistakes - Feels so good 7"ep 50:-

Rottweiler - I'm down 7" 50:-

Razar - Stamp out disco 7" 50:-

(and in a couple of days all the Finnish stuff will be in stock again as well!)

 

Most stuff from earlier postings in stock!

Update #22

Finally a new update! Quite a mixed bag. More to come in the coming month so make sure to check back. Now go and CONSUME!!!

LEVANDE BEGRAVD Fanzine issue #3, 20:-
Finally a new issue of this great 'zine; interviews with Mourningwood Recordings and Nitad, reviews, poems and loads of other jibberish. Buy! (ps. it's in Swedish...)

Got some stuff from the Finnish Svart label; cool reissues of classic Finnish KBD! The Finnish first wave of punkrock was way more poppy than in the 80’s (hey, even Rattus and Terveet Kädet were poppy at this time!). All these – except the much more hc Nolla Nolla Nolla 7” – were originally released in 78/79. Great stuff!

LOOSE PRICK – Mua potkitaan päähän 7” (Svart) 50:-

LOOSE PRICK – Kaupunki Elämää 7”ep (Svart) 50:-

PROBLEMS? – Ei tää lama päähän käy 7” (Svart) 50:-
(Sorry, could find a decent sound clip for this one...)

 

SENSUURI – Kirjotan seinään 7” (Svart) 50:-

SENSUURI – Kaupunki nukkuu 7” (Svart) 50:-  

NOLLA NOLLA NOLLA – Oodeja simasville 7”ep (Svart) 50:-

WIDOWS – Wall of Berlin 7” (Svart) 50:-

 

Other stuff!:

 

BLACK BUG - Reflecting the light, lp (XVIII Records) 110:-

Swedish band, relocated to France. Great trashy synthpunk!

 

 

 

RAS: s/t (yellow) (Skrammel Records) 100:-

RAS: s/t (blue) (Push My Buttons) 100:-

One of Swedens best bands release two albums at the same time on two different labels - and what a racket it is! Punkrock supreme. If you need something to compare to, a mix between early KSMB and the Spits would be a start. Two of the best albums released in Sweden in 2012!

 

 

 

INCREDDIBLE KIDDA BAND - Bitch 7" (Last Laugh) 55:-

Latest release from the Last Laugh label and this time it's some demos from the Kidda Band. Fuck, this might be the bands best material! Great amphetamine fueled pubrockpunk just the way it was meant to be.

 

 

 

JOE HEBERT BAND - I don't wanna be a preppy 7" (Last Laugh) 55:-

Restock of this - until Last Laugh reissued it - before unheard gem. At least for A//A?...

 

 

 

IN-SECT: I can see my love 7" (Ugly Pop) 50:-

New nice 60's reissue from the Ugly Pop label. Great garage/psych/whatever.

 



 

 

THE MASTERS APPRENTICES - Undecided 7" (Ugly Pop) 50:-

More of the great 60's stuff. Don't miss out all you crusties!

 



 

URINALS - Another ep, 7" (-) 50:-

A so-called fanclub reissue of the Urinals 2nd 7". A classic. I'm a bug, ackackack!

 



 

STYRENES (Poli Styrene Jass Band) - Drano in your veins, 7" (-) 50:-

Fanclub release of this Ohio 1975 "Ground Zero pre-punk" record.

 

 

GOD'S WILL - This is God's Will, 7"ep (Signaler Från Ovan) 45:-

Classic USHC from '83. Unreleased tracks from the same recording session as their now classic 7" "Hey Youre On My Property Now Son!".

 

 

OUTER MINDS - Always in my head 7" (Goodbye Boozy) 45:-

Quite poppy garagerock/punk/whatever. Just released an awesome lp on FDH Records!

 

 

 

 

Lots of restocks as well; MENTALLY ILL - Gacys place 7" / NEWS - Dirty lies 7" / FINGERS - Isolation 7" / PSYCHOPATHS - Till the stroke of dawn 7" / NORTHWEST COMPANY - Hard to cry 7" / BENT WIND - Sacred cows 7"

Uppgång och fall 7"!

New 7" from the hometown of Art or Arse?!

UPPGÅNG & FALL - s/t 7"ep (U&F/Rundgång/Instigate/Smuts Rekårds) 40:-

If you like your punk to sound like how it sounded in Sweden in ’79/80, this one’s for you. Great poppy punkrock… Is it also some Wipers sounding guitars in there? Art//Arse? doesn’t know… Listen for yourself!
