Beatnik Termites "Sweatin' to the Oldies" Now in Distro
09.22.2021
The Beatnik Termites are back with their first new material since 2003! They’ve teamed up with Mom’s Basement Records to bring their latest full length “Sweatin’ To The Termites” out into the world. This album has been a long time coming and upon first listen, you can see why it took so long to come out. It’s perfection across the board, the Beatnik Termites have their own unique sound that blends an intricate mixture of Bubblegum Punk Rock, Surf Rock and Doo Wop and it sounds better than ever with this new full length. There’s 13 sugary sweet songs on Vinyl, or CD. “Sweatin’ To The Termites” was worth the long wait and will have you up and moving in no time.

Dr. Frank Portman of The Mr. T Experience on LoFi Interviews with HiFi Guests.

Radio Days "Rave On!" LP/CD/CS Now Available!
06.09.2021
|
RADIO DAYS, Rave On!, is high energy power pop that will make you get down and groove--or maybe get up and move! For those in the know, RADIO DAYS have spent the better part of the last decade refining their sound with international releases in Europe, Japan, and North America, all to stellar reviews. Rave On! marks the beginning of band's attack on the American market, and so far the results have been impressive. The band has won the praise of Steve Van Zandt (Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band) and has been twice named "Best band in the world" on Little Steven's Underground Garage. RADIO DAYS offers an exciting mix of what has been described as "early Elvis Costello, the Rubinoos' vocal harmonies, Big Stars' stretching determination and the Knacks' easy listening melodies." This album absolutely cooks--and Sounds Rad is proud to introduce RADIO DAYS as the first in a whole new wave of international power pop. Tracks

Mr. T Experience Discuss 15 Songs They Wanted to Cover in the ’90s, Reissuing Classic EP
07.08.2020
|
Berkeley punk vets The Mr. T Experience are reissuing their classic 1994 EP ...And the Women Who Love Them on August 14 via Sounds Radical (pre-order). It's coming out on 12" vinyl and CD, and it's been fully remastered. "It's a miracle that this master survived," frontman Dr. Frank tells us. "When I first started gathering and inventorying what was left of the old tapes, it was was nowhere to be found and I gave it up for lost. Eventually, while looking for something else, I found a safety copy on DAT amid a jumble of press and promo materials in an old bag of stuff. I guess it had fallen in there at some point from somewhere else. (Like the master for my solo album, which turned out to have been inadvertently stored for many years in an old boot.) The next question was, would it play and could the 'information' be extracted from it? The answer was yes, obviously, but it was mostly just luck." Read more via Brooklyn Vegan |
