Sandbox (LP + CD) Price: $30.00 Artist: Erik Voeks Manufacturer: Hanky Panky Records Description: VINYL-ONLY RELEASE. LIMITED COPIES AVAILABLE! First ever vinyl release of this classic pop gem from 1993. A lost masterpiece, full of smart, irresistible guitar pop, strong hooks and melodies and witty lyrics. Think Matthew Sweet meets Andy Partridge. Remixed and remastered, it comes with 13 track bonus CD “A Sandbox Companion: Demos, Singles & More”. Though he only released a few singles (on the legendary independent labels Bus Stop & Parasol) and the classic 1993 album “Sandbox” (recorded with a cast of friends that included Adam Schmitt, Patrick Hawley, Jay Bennett, Steve Scariano and Nick Rudd), Erik Voeks’ music has resonated deeply with a small but dedicated group of pop and powerpop fans around the world. “Lost treasure,” “hidden gem” are expressions often used to describe “Sandbox,” which is now, for the first time in its 30th anniversary, being reissued on vinyl! For years Erik kept a low profile, but never stopped recording music, playing with friends and putting out more new recordings through his Bandcamp page. In 2016, Hanky Panky Records released the critically-acclaimed “So The Wind Won't Blow It All Away” his first full-length album in over 20 years. It’s been said about “Sandbox”: “A rather impressive beast of a power pop album” - Pop Junkie “An ‘out of the box’ classic in the power pop genre” - Pop Geek Heaven “Pure bliss for the Matthew Sweet set. Its brainy hooks and colorful chord changes recall Robyn Hitchcock and The dB’s. Its lush harmonies speak to an affinity for Big Star and Teenage Fanclub.” - Pitch GREAT!! ... read more » Quantity in Basket: none

Curse My Lucky Stars Price: $15.00 Artist: Gleeson Manufacturer: Almost There Records Description: VINYL-ONLY RELEASE! You can't say much about this, Gleeson's third full length, without first mentioning some line-up changes: The fruitful ad-hoc working relationships on "II" (Michael Crow and Channing Lewis from Grand Champeen; Phillip McEachern from Mandible) became a little more “official” for the new album. Elyse Estrada (Ty Chandler's former Saratone bandmate) was also brought in as a band member, providing lead and backing vocals on several songs. Ty Chandler and the two Vela’s (Raul III and IV) are still manning their posts - Gleeson lifers. Without question, a major shot in Gleeson's arm for this effort came from Phillip McEachern, who essentially split songwriting duties with Chandler. With Phillip on board, a very important box could confidently be checked - the new album, aside from not following too closely in the previous album's footsteps (if at all), would not be boring. The other arm got a big shot of Elyse Estrada. Heavenly singing. Check. Finally, Channing Lewis gave Gleeson and its fans something special - maybe the first song he's written that's been featured on anything other than a Grand Champeen record. Channing Lewis in any capacity. Check. Oh, and the Tosca String Quartet and Tijuana Train Wreck Horns get a nice workout on this record. If this sounds like "Curse My Lucky Stars" might be an “all over the place” affair, then good. “The record starts with a very slow fade in on ‘Lazy Bones’ leading to the sweeping piano melody, thick choral harmonies, and violins. ‘What’s Going On’ is a quick sing-along piano tune, and ‘Troll Day’ is a catchy rock gem that compares well with Gleeson’s best. The Lennonesque ‘Lollygagged’ is a bittersweet piano gem and ‘With My Motive Gone’ is very much like the Minus Five with a strong chorus, and buzzing guitar ending….” – Powerpopaholic.com GREAT!! ... read more » Quantity in Basket: none

Lo-Fi Against Low Lifes Price: $21.00 Artist: Monkeeman Manufacturer: Rookie Records Description: A VINYL-ONLY RELEASE (COMES WITH A DOWNLOAD CARD). WOW!! After three releases (the last in 2009), Monkeeman are back with a 12-song album flavored with authentic British Power Pop/Mod Pop. Four of the songs were recorded as live takes. The rest of the album was recorded by the Monkeeman himself, Ralf Lübke in his own studio, “The Monkee Cage”. He has had a solid career as a musician in Germany but always wanted to play with a band from the UK or Ireland as all of his major influences are from that part of the world. It was a brave step for him then to fly over to Belfast to find new band members. The four Monkeemen grew up listening to bands like The Jam, The Clash, The Who, The Small Faces and so on and from their younger days as teenagers they believed in bands with attitude with songs and lyrics reflecting on the lives of working class people. Well, kudos to Ralf for finding just the right group of like-minded musicians to help him deliver his high quality, Mod Pop goods! GREAT!! ... read more » Quantity in Basket: none

No Need To Beg Price: $21.00 Artist: Phil Yates & The Affiliates Manufacturer: self-released Description: LIMITED EDITION VINYL LP (COMES WITH A CDR OF THE RECORD) The latest from Phil and mates is a good example of the way the perfect guitar jangle rides the crest of the rhythm section as each song unfolds, the sprightly beats, the bass percolating just under the surface about to break through. These are the things summer soundtracks are made of. Musically, they remind us of The Successful Failures - in fact Phil's voice even sounds a little like TSF's Mich Chorba! "The songs here are catchy, personal tales that are universally relatable. Yates weaves personal details on 'Co-Pilot' while asking his love a to go on an adventure through life as a team. Opener 'Burn It Down, Burnadette' is extremely catchy, radio-friendly, and shows off Yates’ facile wordplay, while the mix is clear and balanced enough to highlight a beefy bass-line, sweet guitar licks, and an insistent beat. Later in the album on 'Little French Earthquakes' sounds like a roadhouse band getting down with a little twang for extra flavor. The album closes with 'Insomnia,' a quiet ballad about losing sleep when away from your beloved. Nearly all the songs clock in at right around the three-minute mark, so the album moves along relatively quickly. The songwriting and playing are tight throughout. This record has the kind of songs you beg for from small town radio – hip enough for the newcomers, but with enough heart that everyone can find something to latch on to." - Stig Rasmussen EXCELLENT!! ... read more » Quantity in Basket: none

Blue In The Face b/w I Don’t Want Her (Anymore) Price: $8.50 Artist: Stepford Knives Manufacturer: Loaded Goat Records Description: VINYL 7" SINGLE!! Jamie Hoover recently teamed up with Otis Hughes, who played bass for the now-defunct alternative-metal band Animal Bag. Calling themselves Stepford Knives, the fellows just released “Blue In the Face”/”I Don’t Want Her (Anymore),” their debut single. “The disc announces the arrival of an adventurous collaboration. Jamie and Otis may come from different musical backgrounds, but the blending of their influences in Stepford Knives produces agreeable results. Ringed with a soulful bent, Blue In the Face’ features Spongetones guitarist Steve Stoeckel strumming a ukulele, giving the song an appealing hook and a catchy rhythm. A poppier approach materializes on ‘I Don’t Want Her (Anymore)’ that emphasizes Jamie’s British Invasion roots, before reeling off a heavy duty jam rocking with a raw intensity. Hypnotic harmonies also highlight the track. In view of this debut offering, Stepford Knives have a mighty good thing going. Those who like pop greased with a dash of funky grunge, will take an immediate shine to the pair’s vision.” – Beverly Paterson EXCELLENT!! ... read more » Quantity in Basket: none
