The Modern Dance

Mario — Sat, 15 Feb 2025 18:26:33 +0000

Pere Ubu's mighty debut recorded back in 1977 and originally released on Blank Records in 1978. It is hard to believe that such noises could come from so deep in America's heartland, played by a group named after a French absurdist play. The debut album by Pere Ubu, "The Modern Dance", is the realization of group leader David Thomas's high-concept vision of a rock band whose sound was always just on the verge of falling apart. Avant garde and not terribly accessible, the album's noisy anarchy was a tonic for punks and intellectuals sick of the bloated, corporate sound that passed for commercial rock at the time. It became a major influence on the leading alternative bands of the following decade, including the Pixies and Hüsker Dü.

"The Modern Dance" has been critically acclaimed. Rolling Stone called it "vivid and exhilarating, even if harsh and willfully ugly". NME named "The Modern Dance" the 11th best album of 1978. Fact placed the record at number 31 on its list of the 100 best albums of the 1970's.

This is the 2013 reissue by Music On Vinyl, with a unique light grey cover instead of black. Used but in great shape!

Afraid To Move

Mario — Sat, 20 Jan 2024 22:16:33 +0000

A retrospective of Zundert's legendary Scoundrels, released via Gram Records. No less than 47 songs spread out over two LP's, with a large booklet featuring liner notes, interviews, posters, flyers and photos. Essential Dutch hardcore punk history!

Scoundrels were founded way back in 1979. They quickly became a household name in the Dutch and Belgian punk scenes and debuted with the "Ufreettomoef" tape in 1985, followed the next year by the LP "Don't Cry For The Moon". In 1988 they released their second album "Join Hands" and called it quits in 1990. Or, more precisely (as now appears), the band decided to take a long break because they released their third album "Oh No! Not Again!" on Gram Records in 2022. Now it's time to dive back into the past with "Afraid To Move"!

Sides A and B contain the remaster of "Ufreettoemoef", the DIY tape from 1985 which was never reissued before and has become a highly sought-after item. Also on side B are various unreleased outtakes from the same session, such as the only studio version of their underground hit "Fuck The Queen", and more. The second LP contains the 1981 demo and a blistering rehearsal from 1984. Side D is the live side which contains the full Hotel de Roskam show and more. Check out the images on this page for the full tracklist, as well as mock-ups of the booklet and the limited edition poster (framing for reference).

The deluxe edition also contains an exclusive 7-inch with brand new songs, such as the new hit "Reptile Brain" and a recent re-recording of the '81 banger "Geld Is Hun God". Only 100 copies available!

Leave Home

Mario — Tue, 29 Nov 2022 09:28:28 +0000

"Leave Home" is the second full-length album by The Men from Brooklyn NY and was recorded in 2010. Recording to tape for the first time here, using elements of distortion, feedback, pop hooks, and a couple of beautifully destructive instrumental passages, The Men have breathed new life into the genre of hardcore and created a seminal album that is truly for punks of all ages.

Comes in a silkscreened sleeve and in excellent shape!

Oh No! Not Again!

Mario — Wed, 29 Dec 2021 14:10:58 +0000

Following a 31-year hiatus, Dutch punk legends Scoundrels return with their brand new third LP! Like the case with so many releases, there’s a lot one can say about the album. But maybe the most important thing is that the band’s many fans – old and new alike – will not be disappointed, since "Oh No! Not Again!" definitely is not one of those lame reunion albums. No sir, these songs don’t sound like they were recorded by a bunch of veteran punk rockers who merely celebrate the so-called good old days. On the contrary! For their brand new full-length, singer / guitarist / songwriter and founding member Patrick Delabie, Belgian drummer Butsenzeller (on board since 1987) and newly recruited bass player Wim IJff came up with eleven tracks that sound vibrant, fresh, energetic and very, very inspired. In fact, Scoundrels have never sounded this accomplished and impressive.

Although the material is clearly rooted in 80's hardcore and post-punk, there’s no doubt that the album is a modern punk record. The songs are about the world as we know it today and the production is top notch. No wonder, since the songs were recorded in Patrick’s very own Studio 195, which through the years has become one of Holland’s most popular underground recording studios.

This is the second release on our very own label Gram Records!
