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.

Hex Dispensers - Winchester Mystery House LP/CD

Austin's Hex Dispensers are back with their sophomore album, and it pretty much picks up exactly where the previous LP ended. If you've been paying attention over the past few years, you know that the Hex Dispensers are masters in the art of spewing forth short bursts of haunted fury. D~M~R isn't exactly known for it's story tellers, but Winchester Mystery House offers a thematically torturous series of songs concentrating on the horrors of love, life, sailing, skin masks, and the end of it all. The good news is that there are twelve songs, so there is an opportunity to feel satiated. One of those songs being a Devo cover, and another being "My Love is a Bat" from the Euro tour single that most of us on this side of the water didn't get a chance to own. Edition of 1500. 100 of those are black splattered, blue vinyl available exclusively from D~M~R. (SOLD OUT). Another 100 are half blue, half red and will be available exclusively through Red Devil Records at their anniversary party in San Francisco on July 17th. Winchester Mystery House will be available in Europe via Alien Snatch in the next couple of weeks. Release date is July 14, 2009.

Stolen Hearts and Davila 666 7"s

Stolen Hearts - Heart Collector 7"
I know just what you're thinking. Believe me I do. When GG called back in February to tell me that his best girl had and her friends had started and band and that he was playing in it, I couldn't imagine having any interest in this recording. Then I heard the recording, and within about thirty seconds I was in. In keeping with tradition of D~M~R releases, the backbone here is simplicity. The ballad-esque intro to Heart Collector gives off a Spector-style vibe, but they quickly hasten the tempo to allow their two originals to come off as an awesome Teen Line style band. Ashley's vocals may be the star of the show. They sound experienced and even sultry at times while retaining the innocent charm that allows a band with this sort of pop sensibility to work....even if she is singing about lighting dudes on fire. A killer debut from Atlanta's Stolen Hearts. Super cool Sponsors cover on the flip side is a winner too. 100 are on white vinyl. Edition of 1000. Release date is May, 28 2009.

Davila 666 - Pingorocha y la Diva Rockera 7"
I have no idea what these guys are singing about, but it sure does sound good. (I took four years of French. Don't know a lick of Spanish). If you got the In The Red LP, then you know what the garage pop pride of Puerto Rico are all about. If not, you need to get learned in a hurry because these guys are on to some next level shit, and they're bringing it to the continental USA in July. These guys have the rare ability to bounce around stylistically and remain completely cohesive thanks to vocal patterns that offer hook after hook. I'm generally pretty tired of our releases by the time I get around to writing about them, but I'll likely need a new stylus before this record is retired to the collection. Three songs of sheer genius. 100 are black with maybe a discernible trace of white. Edition of 1000. Release date is May, 28 2009.

***The colored vinyl order for Davila 666 was essentially botched. Some copies will be marbly, but most of the order yielded black records white very little white. In some cases it will be difficult to tell if your copy is part of the limited edition. We apologize for any inconvenience***

Bobby Ubangi and Barreracudas 45s

Bobby Ubangi - Another Girl Like You 7"
Bobby Ubangi is the epitome of fundamental rock n' roll. Active ingredients on this one include: house, four track, instruments that touring bands accidentally left at previously mentioned house, and friends with rudimentary playing skills that like to hang out at previously mentioned house. Short and simple has been Bobby's style for years, and he's sticking to his guns. D~M~R is thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Mr. Ubangi, as he has been an absolute inspiration to us and the Atlanta music scene. We love you, Bobby! 100 are on blue marble vinyl. Release date is April 28, 2009.


The Barreracudas - New York Honeys 7"
The Barreracudas are part of the new wave of Atlantans strapping on guitars for D~M~R. These dudes have been kicking around Atlanta for years under different titles, and they've finally found a home at the bottom. Congratulations fellas! We've felt like these guys were on to something for a long time, so when they came to us with a new band and these two tracks we were totally sold. It's got a generous dose of 70's bar rock vibe but with quicker tempos and moderately blown out vocals. It's easy to utilize influences from 1970 to '75 and come off like clowns wearing ass hats, but we think The Barreracudas did a great job of avoiding the pretense of the era and getting it right on the money. 100 are on blue vinyl. Release date is April 28, 2009.
