TTR 1 MOONRITE LET ME BE YOUR GOD LP 09.2019
Heavily attracted by the mix of genres "gothic/pop/psychedelic", the two brothers
from Grenoble, France (including Yann Cracker from Towerbrown and The Gentlemen's
Agreements) play dark and groovy music, that sounds like a gloomy hippie trip
interpreted with an original organ/drum line up. After their fantastic debut album,
the duo further developed their sound and now serves us their second LP 'Let Me Be
Your God'. Their sound has become even darker and, just like the artwork its covered
in, more occult while adding synthesizer and slightly descending musically from the
'60s towards the '70s and '80s.

TTR 2 HUMAN TOYS SPIN TO WIN LP 10.2020
Human Toys is a raw punk rock duo with female vocals. On this album on Topsy-Turvy
Records, the songs draw on subjects from B-movies, drugs and perversion to politics,
sexism and gender freedom. The band has musically reformed since their predecessor
'Excuse My French' on Records Ad Nauseam and while one may find a lot less electronic
/electroclash-influence in their music now, there is definitely a higher dose of
wild punkrock.

TTR 4 WINSTONES SUNSHINE CITY LP 01.2021
Tokyo-based garage/soul band Winstones finally release their debut album. Over the
past decade this band has played in numerous garage/punk/rock bands (including
Teengenerate) before they formed this new musical project moving towards a funky,
soulful New Orleans-R&B influence, yet keeping their punk'n'roll-wildness to their
sound. Their album 'Sunshine City' consists of 14 cover versions of soul/R&B-classics,
originally composed by Charles Bradley, Georgie Fame, James & Bobby Purify and Alvin
Robinson among others.

TTR 9 SAKURAN ZENSEN ORE WA SAKURA ZENSEN DA! LP 11.2021
Sakuran Zensen is an explosive rock band from Tokyo, Japan. Consisting of five
members, the band's mix of raucous punk with garage rock and rock'n'roll-inspired
songwriting was met with acclaim in the Japanese underground rock scene. Their debut
album 'Ore Wa Sakura Zensen Da' contains straightforward out-of-control punkrock
hits. Sakuran Zenzen can be compared to a young, exciting Japanese version of
The Hives - loud and fast high-energy punk'n'roll.

TTR 12 THE KRONTJONG DEVILS MUSIC FROM THE STARS LP 01.2022
Since the early nineties The Krontjong Devils from Groningen, Netherlands provided
the world with their so-called Oetsound - instrumental surf music with a fine dose
of "je ne sais quoi". 'Music From The Stars' is their fifth full length album.
On this album the boys broaden their musical horizon by introducing 'Music From
The Stars' like Donna Summer, Jean Michel Jarre and Julio Iglesias to their
repertoire without departing from their familiar Oetsound. Familiar pop-melodies
are uplifted to another level where they shine in a refreshingly new and dangerously
cool new light.

TTR 14 PARTNERS IN CRIME CHAIN BREAKERS LP 05.2022
The Partners In Crime present "Chain Breakers", the second album by the Italian
band, which has been active since 2015. This album follows the highly acclaimed
debut album 'Hoodoo Souls' and the 'Locked up' digital EP on Goompa. It is at this
point that the blues, rockabilly, garage and the characteristic 'Hoodoo Sound' of
the band mix into an infectious cocktail with strong flavours. The album consists
of twelve songs, eight originals and four re-adaptations.
