The Energy
Get Split
LP w/ Full Album Download / CD (Soon)
TSR-032
$12ppd US & Canada

The Energy is A.Bates, T. Triplett, C. Ryan, J. Wolf.

Without giving us time to enjoy our freedom Harder and faster than its predecessor, Get Split embraces the thrilling violence implied by Triplett’s razor-sharp and unrelenting guitar while doubling down on irony and alienation. The psycopath that Bates portrayed on the First Album crumbles on Get Split, talking in the loathsome half-nonsense of a junkie, while retaining the unpredictability and menace of someone whose higher brain is ruined mush. The whole album is an irresistible act of destruction and hatred, against its predecessor, its audience, the world and its own characters. It’s a pleasure to be a victim. - Daniel Mee

Pre Order - LP will ship by May 25th.

Tour: Franz Nicolay w/ Dave Dondero, SxSw - Spring

2011-02-02T07:19:00.000-08:00

Our friend Franz Nicolay is making his way around with Dave Dondero this spring. Dave Dondero is a interesting guy who I've set up several shows for over the years. I remember seeing him for the first time and him telling us stories about This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb. The one that stands out is on there first euro tour every piece of their luggage being confiscated overseas cause it had the bands name stenciled.

The Energy's First Album

The Energy's First Album
LP

Price: $10 ppd US&Canada
TSR-028
First pressing limited to 300-silk screened jackets

Eight tracks from Houston's The Energy. Members of No Talk, Secret Prostitutes and Wicked Poseur make up this musical enigma. Guitar tones drenched in as much distortion and reverb as a 70's Marshall can handle. Think Wire's Pink Flag with KBD influence, but with howling guitar solos and lyrics that read like the diary of a serial killer.

Out for Valentines day, World Inferno doing things a little different.
Three new songs two color variations split between the band and the label. These will go quickly Pre Orders Soon(Probably this weekend!)

"From our lips to god's ears, a Valentine's Day treat from us to you. "World/Inferno Presents: Vox Inferne" is an a capella project from members of the legendary punk collective, on limited-edition (500) colored-vinyl 7". It features a barbershop arrangement of the Inferno classic "Paul Robeson" as well as two never-before-heard songs: "The Devil Boys' Last Hurrah," a nostalgic but firm-hearted remembrance of a gang of doomed New Jersey ne'er-do-wells, and "Istanbul, Drowned Blue Shoes," a true-life tale of domestic revenge. Harmonies tighter than Errol Flynn after a three-week bender. There, don't say we never did anything for you.

Should have mastered songs streaming this week.

Franz Nicolay - ST Sebastian Of The Short Stage

2009-08-30T17:33:00.000-07:00

FRANZ NICOLAY
St. Sebastian of the Short Stage 10" vinyl EP w/ digital download coupon
Team Science Records

1. New England (w/ The Dresden Dolls)
2. The Ballad of Hollis Wadsworth Mason, Jr.
3. When The War Came
4. I Just Want To Love

Quick on the heels of his acclaimed solo debut Major General, Franz Nicolay (The Hold Steady, World/Inferno Friendship Society) has a new 4-song 10" entitled St. Sebastian of the Short Stage. Pressed on clear vinyl, it includes another collaboration with the Dresden Dolls, the best mariachi-disco tribute to a retired superhero yet recorded, and couple bleeding-heart weepies. Artwork by VICE Magazine's Nicholas Gazin, a similarly-mustachioed ex-accordion student of Nicolay's, includes a pullout poster insert; and an exclusive new short story by Nicolay entitled "Paraska Mikhailivna Is A Witch," about dead livestock and bluegrass music in rural Ukraine.

Nicolay will be on tour in Europe all fall, supporting Chuck Prophet and Mark Eitzel (see dates below).

ABOUT THE RECORD:
"New England" is a cover of the Jonathan Richman classic, with the Dresden Dolls, from the same session in which we did a Johnny Cash cover for a tribute record called All Aboard. If I'm not mistaken, it may be the last studio recording the Dolls did together.

"The Ballad of Hollis Wadsworth Mason, Jr." is inspired, obviously, by Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons' "Watchmen". I wrote as part of the "Watchmen" episode of the Bushwick Book Club (myspace.com/bushwickbookclub), a songwriter group based out of the Goodbye Blue Monday club in Bushwick, which picks a book every month and writes songs about it. You should come! Brian Viglione plays drums on this also.

"When The War Came" and "I Just Want To Love" are relics of an earlier time, dating to a set of demos from 2001, recorded in pit-of-despair after-hours at my old dot-com job. What do you want, I was 23 and not sleeping much.

Portland OR Record Stores & The Murder City Devils

2009-04-05T08:06:00.000-07:00

Last month Illene and I took a 6 day trip to portland OR. Partially to see The Murder City Devils on tour and Partially because she had always wanted to see and experience portland. I visited 5 record stores while in portland. Green noise record, Jackpot Records, Discourage Records, Mississippi Records, and 2nd Ave Records. Portland is one of the nicest cities i have ever visited. We really had a great time.

Jack Pot Records:

Great Store found in the heart of downtown. This one was about 5 minutes walking distance from my hotel. I was excited when I checked out there wall of rare records. Most of the record stores in Texas seem to always have a rare records wall which is not always the case in other parts of the country. No amazing finds but decent priced records with all of the recent reissues in stock. They have more than 1 location in portland. More mainstream music but a wide selection.
Purchased:
No Age: Teen Creeps 7"
King Kahn and BBQ Show: Animal Party 7" (Comes with 12 page coloring book)

2nd Avenue Records:

A punk and Hardcore record shoppers dream. I wish i could of made more than one visit to this store. So many singles and Out of print stuff. One of the few record stores ive visited that has a wide variety of T-shirts. Friendly staff but kinda crowded. The Punk LP's alone would take at least an hour to browse. They also had a large Ska and Jazz section which could probably be obvious by the stores logo.

Purchased:
Clorox Girls: J´aime Les Filles LP
Weakerthans: Left and Leaving LP
Small Brown Bike: Dead Reckoning LP
Mr. Pink eyes: 7" single

DISCOURAGE RECORDS:

This was the store we had the hardest time finding. Discourage is about a 20 minute bus ride out of the city located in a neighborhood area. Kind of hidden from the public but if you are a serious collector worth the trip. Looking at records here is similar to digging through your buddy's collection in his living room. Cash only, not a ton of records etc... Pricey records but some awesome gems.
Purchased:
Generation X: Live in japan 1977 Bootleg
Animal Crackers: 7"(Ted Leo's Hardcore band)

Green Noise Records:

Hands down one of the best record stores i have ever been to. Ton's of new records lots of old out of print stuff. Great prices on used records. I've been a fan of Dirtnap Records for a long time and to finally visit Ken Dirtnap's store was great. Ken was great to talk to and had a bunch of advice for places to eat and check out while in town. If your ever in the portland area this store is a must. Located about 30 minutes via bus but worth the $1 bus ticket.
Purchased:
Marked Men: Ghost LP
Marked Men: Ghost 7"
Ergs/Teenage Bottlerocket: UTI 7"
Exploding Hearts: Shattered LP
No bunny: Hozac 7"

Mississippi Records:

The one that almost didn't happen. By the 5th record store visit illene couldn't do it. I made this trip solo and it was worth it. Persistance does pay off. Amazing finds for ridicoulus prices. Missisippi was great i only spent an hour or so because it was near closing time. Cash only almost my favorite portland record store.
Purchased:
American Steel: No Hope 7" (For $1)
Atom and his rockage: 7" w/ Eyepatch
Atom and his package: Behold...7"
Smoking Popes: S/T 7"
Jawbox: Tongues 7"
Hot Water Music: You can't the boy out...
Elliot: In transit 7"

Thanks!
