"The visuals for "Pamplemousse" are addictively captivating in their ordered chaos. Strange and somehow fitting all at once, the video features newspaper and magazine cutouts of coastal sceneries and a blend of people, animals, and even fruit seamlessly moving along to the beat...
When explaining the origin story for the track and consequent video, the duo shares that "we were chilling at Johann Sebastian Bach's tomb in Leipzig, Germany. While sitting in the pew listening to someone play a giant pipe organ, Rick started dreaming about having sex in the cathedral. That was where the idea for this video started." Fearlessly cheeky and always sounding like they're having a good time..." - Valeria Kolomiets (Earmilk)

“…soulful and bluesy and all the things you would want in this sometimes humdrum world of modern music. Our crowd loves them!”- Kate Pierson of The B-52’s
“...This isn’t someone’s idea of what soul should be, this is the soul of a new era.”- PopMatters
“People want to slap a “soul” label on the Sh-Booms, but anyone who’s seen them drench the stage in whiskey and sweat can attest to the fact that their blood is pumping with so much more than that.”- Orlando Weekly
“The first track from the album, “Audible,” is a throwback that features big, brassy horns blasting out a mournful melody while Radney spreads her sweet, syrupy vocals over the top. With echoes of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Amy Winehouse, and Alabama Shakes, The Sh-Booms’ down-home rock and soul is a most welcome sound in these turbulent times. ” – FLOOD Magazine
("Leon The Hustler" is) “The Coolest Song In The World”- Little Steven's Underground Garage (Sirius XM)
“The Sh-Booms, with singer Brenda Radney front and center, will blow your mind with their nine-player rock and soul revue.”- Purehoney Magazine
"The first track from the album, “Audible,” is a throwback that features big, brassy horns blasting out a mournful melody while Radney spreads her sweet, syrupy vocals over the top. With echoes of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Amy Winehouse, and Alabama Shakes, The Sh-Booms’ down-home rock and soul is a most welcome sound in these turbulent times. " - Timothy Brown, FLOOD Magazine
There's this dynamic that churns hard in The Blurred Odyssey, the debut full-length album by ascendant Orlando garage-soul enterprise The Sh-Booms, out March 22, 2019 on Limited Fanfare Records. The music pumps with the hot, red blood of life irrepressible. But there's a cloud on the horizon, the doomed sense of life's finitude, that fueled these songs. Rather than dead-end nihilism, though, it's resulted in the kind of urgent, creative friction that Hunter S. Thompson could get down with. In making this album, The Sh-Booms have dug through the blur of life, swam through a sea of booze, to find love and truth in the shadow of the void.
Although a soul band through and through, the grease and bite they've been picking up in the years leading up to this big step out have been forged in the bad company of punk and garage bands. From that underground now rises a new hurricane of big orchestration, maximum stomp and fresh intent. It's a little ache and a lot of party all wrapped up in a wrecking ball.
Since their 2011 inception, The Sh-Booms have become kind of a thing in their native scene and beyond. Besides perennial winners of “Best Soul Act” in the Orlando Weekly's big annual Best of Orlando issue, they've been tapped to share the stage with national names like The Roots, Of Montreal, Talib Kweli, KRS-One, Jacuzzi Boys, Budos Band, Big Freedia, Lee Fields, St. Paul & the Broken Bones and The B-52's (whom the band toured with in 2017 and 2018). They've been featured on NPR, their music has been made it on TV (CW's Supergirl) and they've played Austin City Limits, Okeechobee Music Festival, SunFest and Gasparilla Music Festivals.
Since powerhouse singer Brenda Radney joined in 2015, the band's course has been locked, their date with destiny set. She was signed to Justin Timberlake's Tennman label, even appearing on his album, The 20/20 Experience, Pt. 2. But after clicking with band leader Al Ruiz while recording separately in the same studio, she jumped aboard The Sh-Booms to turn this train into a true locomotive. After the release of their 2016 Usage Fee EP and a countless number of shows in the Southeast, the 10 songs along The Blurred Odyssey were Produced by Grammy-nominated Alan Armitage (AA Villain) over an 18-month span that cemented the band as a tight-knit unit. That chemistry achieved is where The Sh-Booms are now, and The Blurred Odyssey is their testament.

PRAISE for HEAVY DRAG...
“HEAVY DRAG has thread a smart needle on their way down into the druggy netherworld, punctuating their narcosis with power, noise and darkness. Their mammoth plod packs every bit the tonnage that their name promises, but they’re also soaring and charged with guitars that peak at wuthering shoegaze heights.”
- Bao Le-Huu, Orlando Weekly
"a pleasantly eerie and well-crafted ride through sunless Floridian bummerdom." - Timothy Monger, AllMusic
"Heavy Drag are a psych grunge outfit from Miami that garnish their dour marches with a smidgen of surf-rock flair. - Stereogum
w/VICEROI (members of Deaf Poets and HEAVY DRAG),
Long Shore Drift and Cloud Solo

In the Spanish language, Sábana means sheet. To the world, a Ghost is the soul or spirit of a dead person that appears in a visible form to the living.
Sábana Ghost will be known as the debut 10-song LP from Miami Psych-Rock troupe HEAVY DRAG, released on JULY 22, 2016 on Limited Fanfare Records. It was recorded and mixed in Gainesville, FL by Ryan Haft (Torche, WRONG) and the band (Andreas Wong Chong -Guitar/Vocals, Michael Ruiz-Unger – Bass/Vocals, Jacob Israel – Guitar and Andres Bedoya – Drums, Percussion) in a matter of days, but the resulting output will be eternal.
What does one have to do with the other? Everything and Nothing actually...
Sábana Ghost might actually be a feeling, sound, attitude or vision...but that is still fairly unclear.
What is certain is that Orlando Weekly columnist Bao Le-Huu put words to paper by saying that the HEAVY DRAG phenomenon has, “...thread a smart needle on their way down into the druggy netherworld, punctuating their narcosis with power, noise and darkness. Their mammoth plod packs every bit the tonnage that their name promises, but they’re also soaring and charged with guitars that peak at wuthering shoegaze heights.”
That makes things sound pretty right...
We'd prefer for you to make your own decision and see how Sábana Ghost makes you feel, act or whatever it may do to you...

What I Think I'm Not was recorded by Steve Kille, bassist of Dead Meadow
ABOVE: Late Night Friends celebrating with their freshly pressed wax on a smoggy LA Day...
Here is what some fine people have written about the record:
"Late Night Friends’ debut album reconstitutes the angst and melancholy of 1990s alt-rock greats into a slightly more modern package…sparkling guitar parts and head-in-the-clouds atmospherics…a polished debut, starting from a well-chosen ground zero" --Kevin Bronson, BuzzBands.LA
"The band's super-sunny west coast rock is a unique, glittering mass of grimy feedback and fervent grunge. Their music clearly comes from a place of authenticity — you can hear it in the vocals and lyrics, in the breaks from conventional pop rock into something more freeform and emotion-based. Every track on their debut, full-length release What I Think I'm Not is solid, with songs like the crescendoing "Animal" and the melancholic "Not so Bad" standing out." - Culture Collide
"...This ability to transition seamlessly between everything from dreamy shoegaze to moody alt-rock keeps the momentum strong throughout the listening experience, making What I Think I’m Not an honest and stimulating debut." Emily Saex, Grimy Goods

We All Make Choices...
Joshua's 2011 wonderful comeback album Choices was never relased digitally...Until NOW!
Not only is it one our favorite albums over the past few years, it's also one of the best...
It's been scientifically proven...Trust ME!
We duped the band in to letting us release the album digitally and are happy with our decision to do so....
Those familiar with Joshua know that Dan Coutant and his crew put out records in the 90s and early 2000s on Doghouse Records and Immigrant Sun and toured with At The Drive-In, The Get Up Kids, Big Collapse and Burning Airlines to name drop just a few. Not to mention, Keith Bogart and Sean Hansen of Lives of The Obscure (buy the hot tape/ep 'Bikini Island' BELOW) are/were long-time members of Joshua and live all over Choices.
Now you can grab Joshua's Choices on compact digital files or the smoother, infinitely more collectible
Vinyl Record (Thanks to our friends at Arctic Rodeo Recordings)
"Choices picks up right where the band left off almost a decade ago, weaving gliding melodies and excitingly dissonant guitars together to produce 9 tracks of inspiring emo revival. It’s poetic, emotional and self-conscious." - Matthew Tsai - Absolutepunk.net - 8.6/10
Also, don't forget to throw in a copy of the Joshua/Nightmares For A Week split 7" that we co-released with Arctic Rodeo for $5 - Only a few copies remain! These were limited to only 250 in the US.
Happy Release Day!!
Out TODAY is Bikini Island, the brand new EP
from New Paltz, NY's
The wonderfully compact Limited Edition Cassettes are ready to be shipped to your pad NOW!
Lives of the Obscure features former and current members of
Joshua,
The Ataris, Park Ranger, Robots & Empire and When Dreams Die.
"A blend of Japandroids noisy emotion, math-rock mazes of guitar and drums and big, sneering vocals, it’s a rolling, rumbling release of heavy riffs and knife-edge calms before the storm." - Getintothis (UK)
