Record Highlight — Caustic Casanova

Caustic Casanova is a hard rock power trio operating out of America’s proud capital city (of rock!), Washington, DC. The CC, as they are affectionately known by their fans, has been tearing up stages and studios alike with their unique brand of diverse, heavy music since their inception on the campus of The College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia in 2005.

Caustic Casanova has gigged extensively in DC, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts since returning to live performances in summer 2008. They have been described as “riff royalty” (Submission Magazine) who possess “…an air of optimism and freshness…that’s been lacking from the music scene for well over a decade now (Voltcase).” They recently finished second in The Deli Magazine Readers’ Poll for “Best Emerging Artist from DC/Baltimore 2010,” out of over 40 nominated artists. In summer 2011 they headlined on the big red stage at the legendary Fort Reno Summer Concert Series music festival in Washington, DC, bringing their “original brand of off-metal, slight psyche, quirky and powerful rock music” to their biggest live audience yet (DC Rock Live).  Their latest record, Someday You Will Be Proven Correct, recorded and produced by J. Robbins and mastered by Bob Weston, is now available for pre-order as a very limited 2-LP set with hand-engraved artwork etched into the 4th side of the record.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Record Highlight — Meat Puppets

We were pumped to be invited to work with the band on their reissue of this 1984 masterpiece – The Meat PuppetsII.  This reissue is cut at half-speed for maximum fidelity and pressed on 180 gram wax!  When originally released, II was a 180-degree departure from its predecessor, confusing old fans and creating new ones. Kurt Loder gave it a four-star review in Rolling Stone,calling it “one of the funniest and most enjoyable albums of 1984”, while a bewildered Robert Hilburn proclaimed the Puppets “far more of an acquired promising though willfully unfocused rock act” in the Los Angeles Times.  In addition to the vinyl, each package features a download code with seven bonus tracks!  (Street date is 03.06.12).

BTW – did you know The Meat Puppets still tour?  Check it out!

Record Highlight — Magic Box

The story of Magic Box:

Ed Anderson and Scott Tipping have been making music and mayhem together since the late ’90s, when they hosted an open mic featuring drunken jazz artists, angry poets and puppeteers.

Ed moved on to found roots rock trio Backyard Tire Fire in 2001. Through the 2000s, the band toured relentlessly, recording 5 albums and 2 EPs.

Scott went on to become a mainstay of the Chicago music scene, playing and touring with bands like Mighty Blue Kings, Peter Himmelman, The Steak House Mints and Dayna Malow.

Their paths crossed again in 2008 when Ed asked Scott to join Backyard Tire Fire on tour to round out the band’s sound. BTF’s album Good To Be, produced by Steve Berlin, saw them touring the country, headlining shows and opening for the likes of Los Lobos, Buddy Guy, ZZ Top and Cracker.

In back alleys, dank hotel rooms and a van that at least once tried to kill its masters, a new music partnership was formed, and when Backyard Tire Fire decided to take a break from touring, Scott and Ed chose to bring together some of their favorite Chicago musicians to work on new songs: Steve Gillis (drums), Scott Stevenson (keys and vocals) and Matt Thompson (bass).

The new project features songs by both Ed and Scott, staying true to the rock-and-roll tradition of BTF while transitioning into a more dynamic, harmony-oriented sound.

Record Highlight — The Heat Tape

The Heat Tape from Makanda, IL has signed on with Underground Communiqué Records for the release of their new eponymous 7”! This new four song single is the band’s follow up to their debut album, Raccoon Valley Recordings, which was released last year by Red Scare.

Fronted by Brett Hunter from the Copyrights/Dear Landlord, the band continues their lo-fi and primitive-stomp sound that was the benchmark set on the debut. The songs have an effortless air to them and are stacked with infectious hooks that start with a casual, uncontrollable foot tapping along to the beat, quickly progressing to humming the tunes at any idle moment in the day and then into full on “obsesso mode.”  The 7″ just shipped, and will be added to the Underground Communique store soon, so stay tuned…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Record Highlight — Person L / Weatherbox

It’s been rumored since 2008, and now, it finally exists: Philadelphia’s Person L and San Diego’s Weatherbox each contribute two brand new tracks to this split EP.

B1: Weatherbox – Kickflips For Weeks
B2: Weatherbox – Two Seductresses

All of the blue and black copies are sold out, so only orange copies remain (and not very many) — hit up Youth Conspiracy Records to grab one!
