| | Art Brut Bang Bang Rock & Roll CD Art Brut Discography of CDs
The songs on Art Brut's debut, BANG BANG ROCK & ROLL, sound like they were tossed off in ten minutes; of course, the band is the first to admit that fact, even reveling in it, and therein lies the record's appeal. Naďve, bratty, insouciant, and wild, Art Brut celebrate both the glory of rocking out and the disposable nature of the genre with tongues planted firmly in cheeks. The album's lead-off single, "Formed a Band," is a case in point, inviting listeners, with an air of faux amazement, to "look at us/ we formed a band," and the sludgy, riffalicious anthem "Modern Art" may be the lowest highbrow song ever written. In all, Art Brut manage to balance postmodern irony with something altogether genuine: the sheer human joy of making noise.
Import-only limited edition two CD reissue of their critically and commercially successful debut album features a bonus 10 track disc featuring non-album cuts and rarities including 'These Animal Menswear', 'Maternity Ward', 'Home Altars Of Mexico', 'Really Bad Weekend' and more..

EMI. 2006.

CMJ (p.4) - "Art Brut takes the story-telling crumble of Television Personalities and the ubiquitous Kinks charms-chug, and rocks it out blunt and funny." Bang Bang Rock & Roll Music Bang Bang Rock & Roll Music Bang Bang Rock & Roll Review

Bang Bang Rock & Roll
$18.59 
There have been dozens and dozens of Motörhead compilations released over the decades, but the first one remains definitive, even if it's not perfect. Released in 1984 as a gap-filler -- for Motörhead were regrouping in the wake of the bandmember shuffling that followed the odd Another Perfect Day album -- No Remorse compiled two-dozen songs across two discs (latter-day editions adding a good serving of bonus tracks, too). Many of the band's best songs to date are here, like "Ace of Spades," "Stay Clean," "Overkill," "Bomber," and "Iron Fist." There are also four new recordings that were cut exclusively for No Remorse: "Killed by Death," "Snaggletooth," "Steal Your Face," and "Locomotive." These four songs were cut by the newly instated ...

| | Victory At Sea Carousel CD (2001)
Bang Bang Rock & Roll
$12.55
You notice immediately that Victory at Sea's sophomore effort is a much more upbeat affair than their debut, The Dark Is Just the Night. It could possibly be attributed to the band's new drummer, Fin Moore, who may be the bastard child of the Who's Keith Moon. Moore adds a lot in filling in the little gaps left by the bass and guitar (the title track, "Carousel"). The album also has some new sounds via bassist Mel Lederman's electric piano dabbling. It evokes a slightly uneasy feeling to a track like "Remember," which seems like a missing piece from the Butthole Surfers' 1986 LP Rembrandt Pussyhorse. Victory at Sea's somber trademarks are still here too, as displayed in the sad trumpet on "Angel," a song reworked from a split EP with Helms that was released in 2000. From punk ferocity to contemplative passages, Victory at Sea has become a much more well-rounded outfit who leaves you waiting for their next move. ~ Stephen Howell
Victory at Sea had their rudimentary beginnings in 1994 when Mona Elliott, late of Taang! recording artists Spore, hooked up with Swirlies singer/guitarist Christina Files, who had offered to contribute her drumming to the Elliott solo repertoire. Mel Lederman, veteran of various Boston bands, was later invited to play bass. The three became a full-time working entity by 1996 and over the next two years released two singles and an EP on the Villa Villakula and Magic Eye labels.The Dark is Just the Night, their full-length debut on Slowdime Records, followed in 1999. Christina then left the band and spirited upstart Fin Moore got called to take over the drum seat. It's then that Kimchee Records arrived on the scene to release a split EP with Victory at Sea and Helms as well as their sophomore long player Carousel in 2001. By 2002 Finny was gone and Carl Eklof had arrived, emoting like original drummer Files but also pushing the envelope like Moore did. And just in time to give live support to their latest album The Good Night comes Taro Hatanaka on violin. Hold it, wait! It's January 2003 and drummer #4 has arrived in the person of Dave Norton.Victory at Sea make sound that is as morose as it is beautiful, as stunning as it is depressive. Mining deep psychic strata, the trio skillfully expose ...
| | Grant Lee Phillips Ladies' Love Oracle CD (2000)
Bang Bang Rock & Roll
$15.95
LADIES' LOVE ORACLE was originally only available online and at live shows.
Ladies' Love Oracle is an intimate, candle-lit coming-out party for Grant Lee Phillips, who continues to prove himself as one of the finest songwriters of the last 20 years. Recorded over a three-day span during October 1999 in Jon Brion's basement studio, the brief, nine-song collection is a one-man show in the raw. As stated by the man himself, "Sometimes a sketch says more than a mural." Indeed -- there's an even greater sense of immediacy and warmth here than in the work of his prior band. Though the chiefly acoustic guitar-based record is skeletal in nature when compared to Grant Lee Buffalo's studio work, some ...

Bang Bang Rock & Roll

When bandleader Stan Kenton was approached to record an album of holiday music in 1961 he agreed, on one condition -- no songs about singing snowmen or flying reindeer. The resulting album, A Merry Christmas, is a polyphonic masterpiece that is at once progressive and traditional. Included are such well-known classics as "O Tannenbaum" and "The Twelve Days of Christmas" as well as lesser known gems like "The Holly and the Ivy" and "Once in Royal David's City." Featuring Kenton's ...
