Crusaders of Love - Never Grow Up LP

We reached across the pond again and came up, this time, with an LP from France’s Crusaders of Love. With members of Happy Burger, we figured we probably had as close to a sure thing as we were gonna get. If you’re familiar with their singles, you’ll probably notice a departure from the psychedelic in favor of garage pop on the LP. With the exception of a track on the B-side that sounds kind of like Spacemen 3, it’s a pretty jangly and happy record throughout. A perfect fit for Douche Master fans! 100 copies are on split yellow and red vinyl and comes with a download thingy. Release date is March 16, 2010. Be cool and check them out on their U.S. tour starting May 20, 2010 as well.

2010 at D~M~R

So 2009 happened. Let's move on, please. We're currently working on several records that we are very excited about including LPs from Crusaders of Love, Buzzer, Predator and singles from The Half Rats, Timmy's Organism, and King Louie's Missing Monuments. And that's just the tip as they say. Stay tuned for more information on Douche Master releases as well as the line up for the 2010 Atlanta Mess Around going down at The Earl on April 23rd and 24th. In addition, we know that many of you use Facebook more than food, so we threw in the towel and signed up. Be Douche Master fans here for up to the minute updates and release info.

Jerry Fuchs RIP

Bad Sports LP

Bad Sports - S/T LP (DMR 035).
Denton , TX is the equivalent for Douchemaster Records of a bar you can always go into and always expect to get laid afterwards. In this case she's particularly young and hopped up on speed. If you missed the two Bad Sports singles from 2008, then you don't know about their major league hooks and their seemingly unchallenged quickness. Bad Sports are a three piece that features TV's Daniel from Wax Museums and Greg Rutherford from High Tension Wires. Orville just sits around and writes most of the songs. Bad Sports are a bit more playful, but don't be surprised if this record reminds you slightly of The Reds or the first Marked Men LP. Their debut LP features fourteen songs, and the official release date is Nov. 17, 2009. 100 copies are available on split red and black vinyl.

The Mojomatics -Another Cheat on Me 7"

The Mojomatics - Another Cheat on Me 7" (DMR 034). The Mojomatics have been kicking around Europe for several years but have never been formally introduced in the USA. So everybody meet the Mojomatics. They are a two piece from Italy, and they already have three LPs out on Alien Snatch. D~M~R is delighted to offer their first ever US release. Despite only having two official members, The Mojomtaic's records are anything but bare. At the end of the day they are a rock n' roll band, but they can be bluesy as hell without coming off at all swampish. If you're looking for a frame of reference, Mojomatics give a similar vibe to Goodnight Loving when GNL is doing their more upbeat stuff. In addition they've just completed their first tour of the USA, so we hope you got a chance to see them. 100 are on limited edition red vinyl. Release date is November 3, 2009.

The White Wires - Self Titled LP

The White Wires - Self Titled LP (DMR 033). What a sigh of relief these are finally here. If you're still in the dark on this one, The White Wires are a three piece from Ottawa. This LP was originally released by Going Gaga Records on Novemer 8, 2008 in a quantity of 325 copies. Those of you lucky enough to score a copy before it went out of print were well aware of how urgently this record needed to be available again, and we are flattered to be the people responsible for that. It's a perfect summer time record yet it is just in time for the holiday season for the second consecutive year. The White Wires have found a harmonious balance somewhere between the lands of goofy and cool, and their songs reflect that brilliantly. This LP features nine songs of maximum sing-a-long-ability without a trace of pretense. A couple of listens and you'll be planning imaginary BBQ's with The White Wires as your entertainment and guests of honor. 100 are on limited edition red vinyl, so buy them up before the November 3rd release date. This album is also available for download pretty much anywhere that you can download music.
