Record Highlight — The Anchor Windlass

The Anchor Windlass formed in Minneapolis in the fall of 2009 with Anton, Danger, Gabe, and Max Peters.  In the summer of 2010 Max left the band and Minneapolis to live in a town with a much worse music scene, but better lakes and school systems.  Shortly thereafter, Nick Johnson was recruited to play lead guitar and tell us on what gear to buy.  Since then The Anchor Windlass has played a whole slew of gigs around the Twin Cities with a whole host of really rad local bands.

Thanks to the guys for hiring GGR to press the band’s debut LP, Fair Winds and Following Seas — we just shipped them out this week, so be sure to stay tuned to the band to grab a copy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Record Highlight — Delay

Delay are midwest rockers from Cleveland, Ohio.  We were pumped when Shout Out Loud Prints and Ryan Eilbeck from the band contacted us about pressing their new LP, Rushing Ceremony.

The official release party is January 21, and you can catch their release show at Carabar in Columbus, Ohio with Annabel, The Dopamines, and Tin Armor.  But, be sure to pre-order the LP from Shout Out Loud Prints now — pre-orders begin shipping January 18!

 

Record Highlight — Andy The Doorbum

Andy the Doorbum has been making music for over ten years, as well as making visual art, writing zines, working at the World Famous Milestone Club for six years, touring extensively, making his own merchandise, and preparing for the apocalypse. He has recorded four EPs and four full-lengths that have never seen the light of day; and has released three splits, one EP, a cassette tape, and three full length albums. He also contributed to several compilations including Another Merrie Kinnikinnik, the Shuffle Magazine Valentine’s Comp, and Piedmont Hellstompers.  His tour history has consisted of playing anywhere possible: from dance recitals to library openings, barns, baby showers, basements, skate parks, Italian Heritage Festivals, and events as small as house shows, to a World Music Festival attended by 3000+ people (performing as a member of Etran Finatwa from Nigeria). He has also toured with and also been a member of Cryptorchid Chipmunk, The Emotron, PPR, 2013 Wolves, Morbid Toothbrush, FleshHouse, IYF PoRK, Pangolin Wasser, and Appalucia; and recently collaborated on a recording with Mack Johansson (from Sweden) of the group Hyacinth House. Alongside these endeavors, he has been actively recording his own projects, including this new double LP – The Man Killed The Bird, And With The Bird He Killed The Song, And With The Song, Himself – available now, only on vinyl.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Record Highlight — The Strange Attractors

Austin psych-rock luminaries The Strange Attractors are back with their boldest release on Past/Futures Records to date.  Midnight at Xochil’s is the third full length for the Austin, Texas based quartet, which includes former and current members of the Riverboat Gamblers and the Ugly Beats, among others.

After 6 years of searing psych rock nihilism, band founder Jeremy Diaz’s vision to streamline the sound is realized with Xochil’s — a group of beautifully written songs, simplistic in their sophistication. From raging psych rock tension ala Spacemen 3 to soft Jesus and Mary Chain-inspired lullaby/dirges, the album is  delivered with a maturity and confidence not yet seen from the band, and in turn proves to be the most honest.

Producer Che Arthur was on hand in Austin with Engineer Michael Landon (Okkervil River, Neil Michael Hagerty) for the fiendishly paced 4 day recording session. Afterwards the record was taken to Chicago for mixing and mastering. Theres something for everyone here – the lineage of old Texas psych rock is still prevelant, and new fans are sure to enjoy the evolution of a group that is constantly breaking new ground.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sleepless Issue #0 – Out Now

GGR is proud to be a sponsor of the new Sleepless zine!  Sleepless focuses on heavy underground music from the Rust Belt, and is made by people who play in bands and who have been involved in the creative arts all their lives. This is a place to document, share, and collaborate: send articles, show and record reviews, photos, and comics to us and we’ll try and get it into the print zine and also onto the online version of it (coming soon!).

Sleepless does take subscriptions, which are $20 per year or $6 per issue. You’ll get a hard copy of the zine plus a free tape comp in the mail.  You can also grab it at various regional record stores and venues.  If you are a fan of heavy underground music, we highly recommend checking out this new publication!

Record Highlight — Algernon Cadwallader

Algernon Cadwallader is Tank Bergman, Peter Helmis, and Joe Reinhart — three friends from Philadelphia that grew up playing loud, sloppy, fun music. They have all played together in different bands, with different people, but this lineup seems to stick. They like to do things themselves. Pete makes the t-shirt designs. They print all the shirts in their warehouse. Joe records and mixes all the music in his studio. They book our own tours. Tank likes drums. The best way to get in touch with them about playing (they love to play) is emailing them.

We pressed their new Parrot Files LP last month, and they already sold out of the first pressing!  Not to worry though, we’ll be pressing up another 1,000 LP’s early in the New Year, so be sure to hit them up if you haven’t grabbed one yet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Record Highlight — The Graduate

The Graduate‘s Horror Show is their first EP, and first release ever.  The record was written and recorded in just 3 short months, and it features the first 6 songs the band ever wrote including early versions of “Sit & Sink” and “Justified” (which later appeared on Anhedonia). After much demand, the record is finally available on vinyl for the first time!

This pressing was limited to 250, and is available directly from the band now through January 15, 2012!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Record Highlight — Tenderizor

Touch The Sword is the debut album from desert thrash-noise shredlords Tenderizor. Layers of distortion disguised as speed-power-metal epics. Eight songs of brutality, mastered by Lorin Edwin Parker of Electric Western Studios. Run your fingers along the blade….
