Philip Bradatsch, folk singer.
Songs that you are never quite sure whether you should understand them one way or another: Philip Bradatsch sings and plays about life with an unwavering sense of the contrasting tension that emerges from rough, simple songs and a symbolically dense language as it is: Terrible, Beautiful, Sad, Adorable.
You can understand that even quiet moments inside can become loud and small thoughts can become big monsters, without paying meticulous attention to the text. Because the voice of the singer of the Dinosaur Truckers takes the listener along - unpretentiously she dives into the deep melancholy of folk music, emphatically she returns to the here and now - dark, vulnerable, angry - and loving.
Philip Bradatsch, folk singer.
With an undeviating sense of the suspense which comes out of raw, plain songs with symbolic language Philip Bradatsch sings about life how it is: Dreadful, pretty, sad, enchanting.
Quiet moments can become loud at times just as minor thoughts can become monsters. The voice of the singer of The Dinosaur Truckers takes the listener away, diving deep into the melancholy of Folk Music and back into the here and now. Dark, vulnerable, angry - and tender.

From the same brain that invented Puta Madre Brothers and Made for Chickens by Robots comes a slowed-down country-politan two-man band full with optimistic melancholy. Pork Chop Party is Anto Macaroni and Pinky Blue (aka Merle Haggard and Randy Oldman) with two broken bass drums and two broken guitars and two smoked-out voices.
Here is their debut release, a 7" titled The Suicidal Sounds Of Pork Chop Party, a fine quality vinyl release from the outstanding Off Label Records from Germany. There are two songs here. One side has Walking Backwards sung by Macaroni. It's a song about running away from somebody who is running towards you, about being scared of admiration, fear of tenderness, about telling lies to yourself and about walking.
The other side of this record has Pinky singing a swell number called Sad, Horny and Blues.
This was written during a 45 degree (Celsius) heatwave in a house in country Victoria, during a hallucinogenic drunken spell where the band was trapped inside the house and it was too hot to even pick the nose. It tells the story of guilt, abandonment, miscommunication, confusion. You can listen to this record, to both sides, at any time of the day or night, you might cry or laugh or get sad or happy, you might slow dance with your pet cat or your husband or wife, you might cook some potatoes in a pot of water while you listen to it.
You might just sit down with a cigarette and inhale the microscopic vinyl dust being scratched off as the stylus spins around. You could also use it to rest a hot kettle on or a cold glass of beer on. You might simply enjoy it. Or you might simply not.

02 Sad horny and blue

We have the honor of presenting a pretty crazy group at this point. How stupid is immediately noticeable when studying the accompanying letter, which is probably only readable from 1.5 per mille, and continues with the band photo. Two guitarists, one armed with a bass drum, the other with a foot pedal snare and a hi-hat, and a double bass player. The paint is ready.
The band name and cover photo will probably tell even the deaf: Countrybilly and cowpunk are celebrated here, enriched with the usual ingredients such as rock'n'roll and the three saints of Billy (rock, psycho and hillbilly). Maybe not quite as snotty as the Hickoids, but still at the top level! (Source: Rcktimes.info)

There's a new way of enjoying roots music. People used to be purists and focus on one part of musical history but more and more crossbreeding between musical eras occur.
Breaking boundaries between bluegrass, country funk, trash, underground, southern rock, country and rockabilly ( among others ) Reverse Cowgirls present a sound that combines styles that haven't been combined before... And they do it in a unique and original way.
2 songwriters, both singing and playing guitar or banjo while also playing footdrums, replacing a physical drummer, accompanied by a double bass player make it into a unique full-sounding trio in a weird set up.
Reverse Cowgirls wrote and recorded an album on tape containing 12 all original songs that will make you appreciate all other american roots music you know even more.

That's what it feels like, that's what it sounds like when the San Antonio Kid take the stage and grab the guitar strings for the first time. Rich in Californian coolness and one could almost say "spaghetti western-like" peppered with soul influences, the listener immediately finds himself in the middle of the late 60s and early 70s.
Greetings from wonderful bands like The Growlers or Allah Las. And no matter whether at festivals, in clubs or as support for the Mystic Braves, Crystal Stilts or currently for the great The Hanging Stars from England - San Antonio Kid inspire everywhere with their casually rumbling rhythm section. The charming balancing act between Americana and Swabia is unique. Their style is casually surfy and singer Matt's singing is pleasantly dry and calm. In April 2016 the debut album was released on the amateur label Off Label Records.
The new vinyl single "Mystic Waves", which once again immerses you in the psychedelic pop world of the San Antonio Kids, will be released at the end of May 2018. So watch out you pistolos, cardsharps and other (wanna be) hipsters. If you only feel the whiff of longing for the sound of the Good Old Days in the here and now, you shouldn't miss this band.
Howdy and see you then
San Antonio Kid

1. Mystic Waves
2. It's Nothing To Me

Dust dry throat - sweaty shirt. The rattlesnake rattles, tumbleweed bales blow lonely over the silted highway. And then a loud TWAANNNGG!!!
That's what it feels like, that's what it sounds like when the San Antonio Kid grab their guitar strings on stage for the first time. From that moment on, they take us to the American Southwest, where the spirit of the four Augsburgers was actually born.
Wearing Western shirts, hats and waistcoats, they play the songs they wrote in the last two years in proper style and with so much feeling that even the toughest redneck wouldn't guess their Swabian origins. Whether at gigs in the underground bowling alley, on a high-rise roof like the Beatles did back then, at big open-air festivals or in the club as support for The Soft Hills or Crystal Stilts - San Antonio Kid inspire everywhere with their casual, rumbling rhythm section and organ guitars and singer Matt's psychedelic sixties vocals. Bands like Allah-Las or The Growlers say hello.
Howdy and see you then

...the urge of life steams up to us.
Out of dire need, with intoxicated exuberance and a fat portion of Rock'N'Roll, St. Louis & The Walking Dead don't miss a band. The two gentlemen stand for raspy, driving psychadelic tube sound and brilliant, thrashing beats.
Before the first EP Blue Moon Shuffle was released in October 2018, St. Louis & The Walking Dead performed with bands like The New Candys, San Antonio Kid or Blue Angel Lounge in clubs, bars and on festival stages.
"We, on the other hand, have found each other, In the ether's star-shimmering ice, know no days, no hours, are neither man nor woman, neither young nor old."

'So Jack Rhodes was sitting outside his studio one day... throwing a stack of songs in the air. Wondered where they would end up«. This is what Franz Dobler writes in the liner notes of the debut album.
In fact, many years later, Steffen Zug aka Steve Train stumbled across unreleased, partially damaged tape material by legendary songwriter Jack Rhodes from 1956-59. What were those songs...?
Definitely not from our time, clearly raw, unfinished, sometimes offensive and above all incredibly unique and intense.
Inspired by the magical songs from Rhodes' pen, a band of fellow musicians and ne'er-do-wells was drummed together in a very short time to finally set these demos to music - in the spirit of the inventor. This task turned out to be all the more interesting because almost every musician comes from a different musical corner: blues to gypsy jazz with detours to rockabilly, country, punk rock, hardcore, folk, western swing to 60's garage rock...
Ultimately, it was this diversity that provided rich breeding ground for the seeds of Rhodes' songs. The first recordings were made after a short time. Over time, the band also got together more and more musically, and after the second recording session, the time had actually come: The first public appearance of "Steve Train and His Bad Habits" was also the record and CD release. The debut album The Lost Jack Rhodes Tapes was released on Bad-S Records. The music of the six men in black, which in addition to guitars, drums, piano, double bass, e-bass, is also performed with steel guitar and accordion in the repertoire, didn't seem to fit into any common drawer... .

Steve Train's Bad Habits make their way through the music jungle with ten new songs full of passion and driving rhythms on board. They also make stops in genres such as rockabilly, country and sixties beat and occasionally reveal Latino and jazz influences to the inclined listener. All in all a wild soundtrack for the personal road movie of your life. Lively rock 'n' roll - fortunately not a bit nostalgic.

News from the unstoppable Roots, Country & Garage locomotive from Augsburg: while "Wide Open Road" almost flatters itself as a modern alternative-country classic in demanding auditory canals, "Just For Tonight" tears the listener out of the armchair onto the dance floor, shakes him properly and finally lets him sink to the ground, sweaty and battered but happy - a top-class 60s garage piece that can hardly be compared. But don't forget: only those who really listen to the beautifully designed 7inch can get an idea of ​​Steve Train's latest stroke of genius, Bad Habits!

Founded in Düsseldorf in spring 2018, The Artakees play a mixture of classic garage punk and modern power pop. Their guitar riffs are reminiscent of the legendary The Kinks, the booming bass and the compact grooves of the grandiose The Sonics. With the singer's bluesy voice, The Artakees create a combination of catchy melodies paired with fuzzy guitar riffs and the raw energy of Medway Punk.
After different musical projects, Alex, Flo, Niklas, Marc & Jörn got together at a friend's garage party. From the idea of ​​working together musically, the goal of wanting to be on stage as a band quickly developed in the course of joint rehearsals. The first stage appearances followed in the summer of 2018 in Essen, Frankfurt and Bremen, among others.

An Italian two-man power combo visits us from the future and enriches us with their primal blues, closely courted by the roots of the past and groundbreaking for today at the same time! Are we ready for this blues massacre? Or should we give humanity another 20 years? Two unworldly people dive into our midst, with no identity, disguised by welder's masks, like all good software made up of 0's and 1's. Number 0 plays the guitar and sings into a microphone in his mask. Number 1 plays keys with his left hand and drums with the rest of his body. Together they produce blues.

The second single in the "White On Black" trilogy with a beautiful cover by outlaw illustrator Christoph Mueller. The title track is the highlight of every TDHE live show - 4 verses about how shitty sin is, followed in the chorus by the secret anthem of all the mentally ailing to the Great Plumber of Souls. The B-side is "Find My Body Down," a darkly bizarre ballad about a man who travels to his sweetheart's on Valentine's Day and never arrives because his plane is engulfed in a mighty cloud of blood and kerosene - but not before the traveler has commended his soul to the Lord?

Either black or orange it comes with a download code plus bonus track "Away (broken string version)".

Anyone who has ever seen them live will automatically start sweating when they hear their name. The energy that the four guys spread on the banjo, mandolin, steel guitar and double bass is just too contagious. They make it clear that not everyone with a banjo plays country, and nobody needs more songs about western towns they've never been to and moonshine whiskey they've never tasted.
Just as every single show guarantees a steamy atmosphere, stacks of broken strings and dripping sweat, The Dinosaur Truckers convey the increasing certainty on their new album to the listener that large landscapes, endless expanses and the only true bluegrass punk heaven are waiting right outside the door. ..

The Golden Creek call their first EP “Everything Falls Apart”, which tells of the certainty that in the end everything will turn out differently than you thought. In a soft, slightly husky voice, Matthias Abel sings about the search for love: "You're running, through these streets waiting for someone you would not recognize. Searching for something, that by searching you won't find', capturing a sentiment well known to the souls of lost city dwellers.
This song is called "She Cares For You" and we remain uncertain as to whether the song and protagonist will find a happy ending. This uncertainty accompanies the six-piece band with acoustic guitar and three-part vocals. Tones that determine the unexcited, soulful and concentrated tone of the band.

The term "voodoo" in combination with music and wild live performance has been unmistakably associated with a name across Europe since the early 2000s:
Howlin' Max Messer. The Howlin' Max Messer Show now brings that voodoo power to the live stage in an eccentric and enthralling show!
In addition, the daring, exotic-poisonous cocktail of Alternative Rock & Roll - Roots - Surf - Latin - Fuzz - Death - Country was captured on a recording for the first time. Ten songs, all written by himself, reflect the partly absurd, partly tragically weird world of the soul of the "Master of Dark Desires": sometimes hard and loud, sometimes quiet and beguiling. Together with his undead and highly musical companions, the "High Priest of Voudun" creates a comforting, eerie atmosphere that inspires exuberance and ecstasy as well as thoughtfulness - whether live from the stage or from a recording...
In collaboration with Johnny Hanke, who didn't shy away from diving into the mystical world of voodoo, the long player will be released on off label records. The opener "These Tears" can already be seen on Youtube.
“Come along folks! Don't be shy!!! Let me take your soul and make it mine for evermore. I'll put a spell on everyone of you, my beloved darlings..." Howlin' Max Messer.

After the brilliant "Shock-Rock-Twang" LP debut in mid-2017, the voodoo rock'n'roll troupe from Augsburg has released their first single. The 7" will be released again on Johnny Hankes off label records, one of the last genuine underground labels in this country.
While "Why I Cry", a killer tear-jerker ballad with a high sing-along factor, already appeared on the debut album, the brand-new song "Wild Man" really rips in the elevated mid-tempo and is reminiscent of the young Iggy Pop on Speed, accompanied by a band Twang zombies...
The double-a-sided single is limited to 300 copies - so get it while you can!

Black and white, wafts of fog, dim light: two hombres in black turtlenecks, tight trousers and pointed boots. The strumming sound of the guitar and the pounding beat of the Hammond, then two-part harmony. Flashback: Parents' living room in Polaroid colors, the brothers Roman and Matthias as dungarees boys who sing for the relatives and strum on the piano. After tireless digging in their rock'n'roll father's record cave, they devote themselves to 60s pop for a few years, professing love and swearing allegiance. Now it's about the naked truth and sluts - ruthless, direct, to the point. In other words, what even the thousandth teenage indie band has still not understood.
The engines of the Mojos howl in the garage sound, loudly they let their anger run free. In comparison to well-known garage duos like The Black Keys and The White Stripes, the Mojos are instrumentally different: With a fuzz guitar, a new type of drum 'n bass organ and their Everly Brothers vocals - the songs of the two sound like a sound of Three.

The Mokkers is an all-girl band from Berlin that will make you feel good. No matter how bitter is the crankiness digging its way through your chest. The Mokkers is the cure. Their teenage bedrooms resonating with a wide spectrum of music from Link Wray, The Kinks, The Stooges as well as Holly Golightly and The Whites Stripes, they brewed the whole thing to provide today a pop infused surf-rock sound dusted with a little garage dirt and spiced up with a rockabilly twist. With no other aim than to make you smile and dance.
And if you don't like genre labelling, well good for you, neither do they. So let's just say The Mokkers sound is like your favorite grandma's comfort food. Simple, humble, soulful, the kind that makes you feel like a kid again and as soon as you dig in, you know you want more. No poses here, no pretention, just straight to the point warm songs that will summerize your heart and make you go "yeah!".

Eleven songs like nails in the plank or shots from a veritable handgun. Sure, power pop is a tradition. The Kinks, the Yardbirds and the Beach Boys are peeking around the corner and punk is lurking at the bus stop across the street. But especially the nerdy, nodding organ and the stoic, grainy guitar work give the whole thing an unmistakable touch. Add to that the straightforward "No bullshit" production by the young New Yorker Nick Wolz.

The Perch Creek Family Jugband play a style of goodtime music that might be described as a second cousin on the mother's side to bluegrass. Says Hillbilly Bob, the pater familius, "while we aint strictly speaking a bluegrass band, we are indeed deeply honored to be invited to perform at a bluegrass festival in such high falutin' company." Hailing from the blue hills of northern new south wales, this true family band has been warmly embraced at many music festivals and community events throughout Australia, playing old hillbilly tunes and tinpan alley favorites with a variety of homemade instruments and heartbreaking vocal harmonies. They have been described as an all singing, all dancing, traveling reality theater show sure to please everyone from toddlers to grandmas and grandpas.

After a long player and a mini album on 12", the Royal Flares from Munich have finally arrived at the format that represents 60s garage punk more than any other: the vinyl single. The flares don't let themselves be shabby and hit a bang on each side. Guaranteed danceable shit for every garage party, whether in the living room or in the club.
A fast-paced psych-folk-rocker with a razor-sharp riff and cool melody, "Time Is A Tale" debunks time as the fairy tale told by the clocks, with a guitar break that gets the hands spinning in our heads and the soles on the dance floor.
“Tell me something” steers as an uncompromising ride through the one-way street, no right, no left, just full throttle straight ahead to the year 1966. How was that time again? Ah yes, exactly, she is a fairy tale.
The Royal Flares themselves replace the clock hands on the front cover of their new single. On the back they join, quite "royally", with King Ludwig II, the most psychedelic visionary of their hometown to date. Time is a tale.

After a longplayer and a mini-album on 12” the Royal Flares from Munich finally arrived at the format more representative of 60s garage punk than any other: the 45 single. The Royal Flares don't hesitate to put a grenade on each side. Guaranteed to catapult your feet on any garage dance floor, at it living room or night club.
“Time Is A Tale” is an up-tempo psych-folk-rocker with a razor-sharp riff and cool melody, unmasking time as a fairy tale told by clocks, with a guitar-break causing the clock hands to whirl in the head and the soles on the floor.
"Tell Me Something" uncompromisingly races through a one way street, no right, no left, just straight ahead full throttle into 1966. What again was time? Ah yes, right, a fairy tale.
The Royal Flares themselves replace the clock hands on the cover of their 45, and on the back cover, very “royal”, they join King Ludwig II, the hitherto most psychedelic visionary of their hometown. Time is a tale.

For years, Steve walked past Alexander's former bookstore every day. Both are experienced musicians. Steve Train with his "Bad Habits" and Alexander Möckl with "The Leadbelly Project" and various solo projects as "poembeat". So why not do something together for once? Ideas for a joint project came immediately. The chemistry was right from the start. Several recordings were made in their own studio. Two of them can now be heard on the debut single.

The Vagoos - Punk flavored Rhythm & Blues droned out by four German misfits since 2010.
Since 2009 the Vagoos have given numerous concerts at parties, clubs, beach bars, concert halls, youth centers, restaurants, libraries, squat houses or just out in the streets. They've been touring through Germany, Austria, France, Spain, Portugal, and played with Reverend Beat-Man, The Movement, Las Aspiradoras, The Razorblades, Juke Joint Pimps, and many other great bands.
