Two thundering slabs of thumpers from the Dunwich Records catalog. Features the Shadows Of Knight, The Luv’d Ones, Things To Come, The Banshees, and absolutely no crumbs! Pressed on colored vinyl! Chicago was home to one of the most vibrant American rock ‘n’ roll scenes of the mid-sixties and the most prolific outlet for Chicago’s rockin’ teen sound between 1966-67 was Dunwich Records. From its very first commercial release, “Gloria” by the Shadows of Knight, to classics by the Del-Vetts, the...

Savage Queens proto-punk! In the tsunami of American bands formed after the Beatles’ appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, many made records, some had hits, and some even had sustained success like their idols. But there were just as many who carved out a niche in their local scenes, yet never made it to vinyl and faded into memory. Such was the case with Violent River — until now. Formed in the Corona neighborhood of Queens, New York as the Mauvais in 1967, the band comprised four...

With space-age psychedelia, a toe dipped into surf rock, some distortion-drenched garage grit, and even some Fab-Four feels; this platter will leave you wondering how in the hell only 6 minutes of it was ever released before this? In musical history the term “lost classic” is as overused as a bicycle horn at a clown convention, but it’s scarcely been more applicable than in the case of The 8th Wonders’ potent but postage stamp-sized catalog. Now, for the first time since 1968, the whole tale...

Wailing and thrashing around the melody like candy-fueled maniacs, The Little Bits pack a punch so savage it makes appropriately aged teen rockers hopped up on testosterone and intoxicants sound like they're phoning it in.

Krunchy Kinksy Indie Rock Must have! On the heels of our reissue of the Lilys 1999 cult classic The 3 Way, we’re honored to bring you its predecessor of equal acclaim, 1996’s Better Can’t Make Your Life Better.

This album found a new audience via multiple tracks appearing in AMC’s Lodge 49. We’re honored to bring you the first vinyl reissue...
