Calling all Scums,
 
It's getting cold outside but we got another couple of hot slabs to warm yous up...

​

NFTR334 BLADDER BLADDER BLADDER 'ON THE JOB' LP
The legendary debut album released for the first time on vinyl since it’s release 25 years ago! The 12 tracks have been remastered and sound extra killer and there’s brand new artwork that continues the theme of the original sleeve art. In the 1990s Bladder Bladder Bladder was Britain’s punk gift to America in a time when America seemed to be obsessed with pop jock snowboarder 'punk' and skapunk and whose mission it was to take us back to a time when punk rock was new, real and fresh. Sure there were a lot of bands at the time trying to play the 1977 style of punk rock and there were some good ones but very few of them came as close to the real deal as Bladder Bladder Bladder did. These guys saw many of the original bands and you can tell that they have listened to a few Chelsea, Sex Pistols, Cock Sparrer and Clash records. Very few bands can display this level of humour, wit and cockiness and get away with it. If you wish you could have been at the Roxy or 100 Club in 1977 London and just couldn’t make it because you were still in nappies or weren’t born yet, you are in luck because Bladder Bladder Bladder is the closest you will get. FFO Sex Pistols, Anti-Nowhere League, Cock Sparrer, Hard Skin, Chelsea, Public Toys, District.  GET IT HERE.

NFTR336 ZULETZT 'THE ABANDONED FLESH' LP
Debut full length from London/Munich band following their single 'A Thousand Ways' from a couple of years ago. Fourteen tracks that range from classic punk rock to post punk, coldwave and shoegaze while keeping a strong cohesive identity and personality running throughout. This is a record filled with layers of complexity that wash over and engrosses you. If this was released in the 1980s it would have been a gamechanger. Although they take leads from bands like the Cure, Sisters of Mercy , Joy Division and Xmal Deutchland they bring the sound to current times. The way each track is constructed leaves room for each instrument, from the snaking lead lines to meaty bass on top of the drums which provides the foundations for the vocals to shine. FFO Joy Division, Chameleons, The Cure, Xmal Deutschland, Bauhaus, Sisters Of Mercy. GET IT HERE.

VERY LAST COPIES:
 
NFTR331 THE PROTOS 'DRAIN IN MY BRAIN' LP
The Protos are a primitive, fuelled-by-hate garage punk trio from Amsterdam: raw, lo-fi and high energy punk rock with two guitars, a drum kit and a scream. This debut 12-track album was recorded in an old slaughterhouse in Haarlem - by Buster van der Gugten (Asbest Boys, Traumatizer). It's a KBD slab of in-your-face, loud and stupid perfect punk. FFO Reatards, Kool and the Gangbangers, M.O.T.O., Carbonas, Teengenerate, Bad Times. GET IT HERE.
 
NFTR332 KAMIIKAZZE 'RESURRECCION' 12" 
Hardcore punk from Bogotá, Colombia with a stripped-down, direct thrashing approach that is intense and furious. Recorded by the infamous Rat Trap collective in Bogotá by Muro’s Carlos Vélasquez and Primer Regimen’s Santiago González - this is a band to keep a serious eye and ear on... these 8 cuts are the start of something very special. For fans of Discharge, Muro, SUB, English Dogs, Armagedom, Ignorantes, Porvenir Oscuro, Koro, Gauze. GET IT HERE.
