A Global Threat
“Where The Sun Never Sets”
(BYO Records - CD)
Since their inception in 1997, this Boston based band has been steadily building a reputation as one of the more original and respected bands in underground punk. With well thought out songs both hard and aggressive, yet tuneful and musically solid, A Global Threat have proven to be a cut above and a step ahead of the pack, and definitely not content to become stale and repetitive.

The Psychobilly Sickness
(HairBall8 Records/Stay Sick Pictures - DVD)
Here is the long awaited and much-anticipated documentary “The Psychobilly Sickness” released through HairBall8 Records and Stay Sick Pictures. This DVD documentary explains how the psychobilly sub culture originated in the UK with the Meteors and how psychobilly has spread throughout the world over the last 25 years with particular emphasis on the psychobilly scenes in Britain, Japan and America. Check out the clothing, hairstyles, tattoos, wrecking and upright bass slapping madness...all right here on this DVD! Live footage and interviews with the following: The Meteors, Nekromantix, Nick 13, Geoff Kresge, Barnyard Ballers, Koffin Kats.

Tommy & The Terrors
“Unleash The Fury”
(TKO Round 152 - CD)
Tommy & the Terrors are back to knock in your skull with their 2nd album. Blasting out of Boston, Tommy and the Terrors are back with 15 tracks of pure punk rock mayhem produced by Matt Kelly (Dropkick Murphys). With a style varying from straight up ‘77 influenced punk, hardcore and street punk, Tommy and the Terrors are keeping the punk rock spirit alive in a time when too many are calling it dead.

 

Cock Sparrer
“What You See Is What You Get”
(TKO TV 002 - Double DVD)
TKO Records could not be more excited to announce the release of the first official DVD from UK Street Punk legends COCK SPARRER. What You See Is What You Get is a project over 2 years in the making put together by the band with the help of friends and fans. It features footage from 1977-2003 and documents the entire 30+ year history of the band. This double DVD set is a must-own release for any SPARRER fan.

The Boils
“From The Bleachers”
(TKO Round 148 - CD)
From The Bleachers proves to be the most brutally honest and refreshingly inspired work the BOILS have yet executed. While drawing from a wide range of influences, the BOILS draw them all together into one, eclectic rallying cry of punk rock. Street Punk anthems, reggae infused boot-stompers, and a battery of hardcore come together, propelling the Boils into a new class and higher caliber than ever before, while still staying true to their sound.

Hellbats
“Dark 'n' Mighty”
(Hairball8 Records/Psychobilly US - CD)
Heavy, distorted and infectiously melodic guitar tones paired with frantic upright bass slapping and scratchy, desperate vocals is one way to describe the French psychobilly trio Hellbats. Moody, atmospheric and psychedelic; the new Hellbats record “Dark ‘n’ Mighty” definitely lives up to its name. Thickly layered metallic goodness rife with slasher film attitude, Hellbats know the fundamentals of fantastic rock n’ roll.

The Koffin Kats
“Straying From The Pack”
(Hairball8 Records/Psychobilly*US - EP)
Detroit’s The Koffin Kats are back again after a successful summer tour to rock your world with their high-octane psychobilly, black leather, high hair and manic attitude, The music of The Koffin Kats is perfect for a violent joyride. Their Straying From The Pack EP will be out March 14th.
