TW-23: Heater - Self-titled 7"
Despite substantial academic research into the punk industry mail-order boom of yore, many have forgotten the air tragedy of 1994. One dark and stormy night, a cargo liner full of lost Avail test pressings, mythical Drive Like Jehu 7”s and much of the Dischord catalogue disappeared over the jungles of Fort Worth, Texas. None of the crew was ever recovered. A group of isolated tribal elders came to venerate the found records as the sacred fetish objects in their cargo cult. Before his untimely demise at the hands of enraged pentacostal locals, pioneering ethnomusicologist Dr. Britt Robisheaux was able to record the cult's rites of rudimentary ecstatic rhythm. Heater.
TW-22: Economy Island - Self-titled LP
Economy Island is an Austin based indie rock band comprised of Richi Fatheree (guitar/vocals), John Christoffel (lead guitar), Mark Twistworthy (bass/vocals), and Paul Ahern (drums/vocals). Economy Island draw influence from many places, incorporating the hook laden indie rock sound of the '90s, a healthy dose of classic rock, and a touch of classic UK alternative music, as well as drawing directly from bands like Guided By Voices, Superchunk and Dinosaur Jr to create a sonic landscape filled with catchy hooks and big guitars not unlike the independent rock bands of yesteryear.
TW-21: Bum Out - "Pain Don't Hurt" CS

Rock'n'roll noise/noisy rock'n'roll from Austin, TX.
Imagine a cacophony of The Urinals, The Intelligence and A Frames playing a sweltering, sweat filled DIY punk house show during the hottest of Texas summers. Boss Eye kinda sounds like that.

TW-19: Total Sound Group Direct Action Committee - "Your Move" LP
Mike, Tim, Nick, Patrick, and Ben. Somewhere between MC5, Small Faces, James Brown and a wall of emotion and chaos, this record is total fire music. Although it has been 10 years since they've played together, this record is an absolutely joyful noise that tears at the speakers and forces you to dance and celebrate life. It was recorded with our longtime friends Bryan and Mike at Sweatbox Studios (RIP).
