FOUR FLAMINGOS Mad Evil Woman 7"
Like so many times in rock this band got started over a few beers. Members of two Gothenburg bands decided to get together and play some rock - Four Flamingos was born.
From the rough feel of the English pub rock to the sharp riffs reminscent of Australian punk, this band draw influences from all over and from all periods in time to come up with their somewhat retro sound.
The Four Flamingos are heading for success and the journey starts on Bootleg Booze Records.
"Four Flamingos från Göteborg visar med all tydlighet att det fortfarande finns hopp för svensk garagerock, trots att genren förefaller mättad och att band som Mando Diao kategoriskt skamfilar dess rykte. På denna explosion i rosa presenteras en trippel stökig men ändå solid garage-rock'n'roll som direkt för tankarna till de uppenbara amerikanska sextiotalsklassikerna, främst 13th Floor Elevators, men likväl sneglar mot ett punkigt brittiskt och australiensiskt sjuttiotal.
Det snudd på autentiska ljudet, skorrande transistorförstärkare och distortion, gör att sextiotalskänslan dominerar, men det uppkäftiga drivet i snabba "Mad evil woman" och "No rule" ekar Fun Things och Damned. Avslutningen med mellantempot i "Since I met you", känns inte lika angelägen. [6/10]" - Close-Up Magazine
Pressing:
- 300 pink vinyl
- 200 white vinyl for members of the Boozersclub.

BLACK RADIO/THE RULING CLASS split 7"
Two tracks from each band, all four being super charged with punk rock action!
You get the sound of the early Hellacopters, Puffball, Grinners, Zeke, and Motörhead all brought together on one piece of wax - topped off with more attitude you and your friends have combined!

If you thought roaring action rock was dead - think again!
"Två nya förmågor med samma fixering som motorpunkens mästare Zeke: amerikanska vrålåk, billig öl, snabb punk.
Att medlemmarna i Black Radio, sitt ursprung i östra England till trots, har något brittiskt i sina skivbackar, förutom möjligen Discharge och Motörhead, betvivlar jag starkt. Trion imponerade stort. "Outlaw racer" och "Time's up" fullkomligt skriker tidiga Zeke och Dwarves, en kombination som aldrig är fel. [8/10]
Nygamla Ruling Class från Västerås, som består av folk från insomnade Puffball tar utan vidare krusiduller vid där Puffball lämnade oss. Kanske hade lite mer drag under galoscherna varit på sin plats, gruppens båda bidrag ter sig aningen långsamma i sammanhanget, men Ruling Class kommer ändå undan med hedern i behåll. [7/10]" - Close-Up Magazine
Pressing:
- 400 copies with regular sleeve.
- 100 copies comes in a "Chromed-Rim-Sleeve" only available to our Boozersclub members.

THE HIP PRIESTS Tight 'N' Exciting LP/CD
Formed in May 2006 from the ashes of near legendary Nottingham Garage heroes the X-Rays and London Punk 'n' Rollers The Divine Brown, The Hip Priests are the inbred backward bastard sons of Iggy, Johnny T, Hank von Helvete, Lemmy, and Handsome Dick.
In November this lot will unleash their high action and anthemic rock'n'roll on an unsuspecting world. Be prepared to cream your jeans!
"If you love Turbo, Dog Toffee, AC/DC, Motorhead and Zodiac Mindwarp then these are the denim demons for you." Vanity Project
"This is the sound of Lemmy, early Mick Mars & people who let the New York Dolls crash at their flat...all crashing at their flat...with Keith Moon in a '71 Cadillac with no brakes." Chaos Realm
"Wow! This smacks you in the face as soon as it erupts out of the speakers! The album title is right on the money. Red hot blistering and wild! This fucking ROCKS!" AMP Magazine
"In case you haven’t noticed, not all rock and roll sounds alike. The Hip Priests, have got it right. Joyously managing to offend the mainstreamers put it to the test of weeding out the real rockers with their raw attitude, dirty-garage tunes, and punka-style all with the tongue-n-cheek…uncensored." Sugarbuzz
European booking: Markus Olzon at
rolig/hurra music agency.

THE HELLACOPTERS The Same Lame Story 7"
"The Same Lame Story" b/w the exclusive cover of Electric Frankenstein's "It's All Moving Faster" is the smokin' new single by the mighty Hellacopters.
Released as a CD-single accompanying #14 of the great Swedish punk rock magazine Denimzine earlier this summer it's now getting the vinyl treatment, with the already mentioned Electric Frankenstein cover not on the CD, and we couldn't be more proud to be the ones releasing it.
You can't mention "Sweden" and "rock" in the same sentence without also mentioning The Hellacopters and as far we're concerned that's about all you have to say about this 7".
