Fleshies-Brown Flag LP (w/Free cd)!
November 20th, 2009
About time Recess released something on time! And what a whopper to end the streak with! Brown Flag is, without any dubious crap, my favorite Fleshies record. I know i have said that about bands once they do something on Recess but it’s not like i lie or something. It is sooo solid and even better, it feels like they wanted to make this record a long time ago. A huge break, with the guys taking on other bands/projects might have had something to do with this. Regardless of what i think, we have 500 brown (hard as hell to get according to our pressing plant) vinyl copies for your picky ass.
Lets get a quote from the talent:
“keep in mind that this is the closest Fleshies can get to writing a genuine
pop rock record and we are damn proud of it. it is a true reflection
of a decade of love between five men with all of the requisite ups and
downs that implies. life gets complicated and we are just trying to
make sense of it. but we are talking about family here, ya know?” -John Geek

August 12th, 2009Long time pals and one of the fave bands around these Recess parts, The Fleshies, are in the studio finishing up “Brown Flag”, Their 4th album (6th if you wanna be a snob and count “The Baby” and “Gung Ho”) and their first for Recess Records.

Japanther-Skuffed Up My Huffy LP!
July 22nd, 2009
One of my favorite Japanther releases sees vinyl! Let’s do this!
Japanther are two punk-rock dudes from Brooklyn, banging on drums, abusing guitars, singing through pay-phone receivers, cutting up distorted tape loops and dumb samples — they make it all seem so easy. Their sound is a scruffy mess, turning their three-chord surf-guitar riffs and organ squalls into surprisingly catchy rock slop. Japanther took a huge leap on 2005’sWolfenswan, with the Beach Boys goof “I-10″ and the Rolling Stones piano loop “Full Cup.” But they make even merrier noise here, souping up their beatbox to sound like Tommy Ramone. “Mornings” and “Summer of ‘79″ are fast, mean, oddly poignant odes to driving around. “River Phoenix” is a sincere elegy for a dead movie star (”Joaquin, What happened/I thought he was vegan”), while “$100 Cover” samples riot-grrrl chants into a cry for the revolution. If Buddy Holly were young, wired, pissed at his landlord and unable to play guitar, he might sound like “Challenge.” At thirteen songs, it’s all over in twenty-six minutes — but what a glorious ride. —Review from Rolling Stone (really)
