SEPT 2008 .........Turnpike Glow has a music video for the song Sporco Impossibile..........Kaiser Cartel were recently interviewed by the great music website Mainstream Isn't So Bad........ Nathan Xander's Swiftly, Surely has now been released. This 7-song mini LP was recorded in one day and originally released in August 2007 on the artist's own imprint Aww...Rats. Based out of Chicago, he has toured extensively since the release. Swiftly, Surely bounces back and forth between mellow country, folk and heavier slow core, drawing inspiration from My Morning Jacket, Townes Van Zandt, Kris Kristofferson, and Neil Young. This is limited to 150 silkscreened copies and only $8.00 postpaid. You can download the track Clouding Over and purchase a copy over at the label website ............Brooklyn Vegan writes up Weasel Walter's three shows in New York over the next few days..........The September issue of Performer Magazine has reviews of both Suicide Bill and the Liquors and Sharks Come Cruisin..........Guntaard's "Rubarb in the Hoo-Ha" has been released. Recorded between April 1996 and May 1998 on a Tascam 4 track cassette and forgotten about, the five members of Güntaard have never all been in the same room at the same time but were all fueled by the same things- bong hits, failed relationships, and unemployment. Using traditional instruments such as guitars, bass, and keyboards as well as drum machines, screwdrivers on metal tables, tape loops, television sets, electronic toys with dying batteries, they recorded over 100 songs in this two year period. Rhubarb in the Hoo-Ha is a collection of songs that are heavy on the drum machines and distorted vocals. For fans of Ween, Trollin Withdrawal and Butthole Surfers. Released is limited to 50 silkscreened copies on brown jackets. Rhubarb in the Hoo-ha is available over at the 75orLess Records label website.
AUGUST 2008 .......Cholo appears on the newly released benefit compilation The Fugazi Covers Project. They do a cover of Target from the album Red Medicine.

You can also watch their music video for Oh No!, and read interviews and articles in the Kentucky Press, The Music Slut also has interviews and videos and there is coverage in CMJ Magazine......... We should mention that lovable teetotallers The Cold War are no longer together. Also, NYC's A Passing Feeling have called it quits. Some of the members of A Passing Feeling are working as part of the Ourselves Collective based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The Ourselves Collective is a group of artists working together to release their visual art, video, fiction, poetry, etc. The two tracks we have heard sound great. send a blank email to: ourselvescollective@gmail.com to be added to their email list........Cholo has been getting coverage from Licorice Pizza, Heart on a Stick, Zona Indie and Spin Online.

A member of Boy/Girl, Kill Kill Kill will release 12 albums in 12 months from June 2008-June 2009. All of the releases have an environmentally conscience theme and the releases are made with recyclable materials. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Nature Conservancy in support of the mission behind the Kyoto Protocol. Designing and crafting his own "homemade" effects pedals and modified guitars and amplifiers, they mix the psychedelia of Acid Mothers Temple and the riff laden moxie of the Melvins. Not quite an EP, the five tracks contain over forty three minutes of music including an exclusive remix unavailable anywhere else. Released is limited to 50 silkscreened copies on brown jackets. Download the track Screw of Damnnation or

75ORLESS.COM THE MUSIC REVIEW WEBSITE
Welcoming electronic, hip-hop, indie, folk, electro, punk, disco, lo-fi, pop, nerdcore, gothic, cockrock, brit pop, nu gaze, blues, acid, easy listening, garage, country, new new wave, comedy, math rock, rockabilly, shockabilly, psychobilly, flip hop, nu metal, death, idm, new age, crust, techno, grindcore, yer major label industry crap and all other music submissions.
Why 75orLess? It's a reasonable question. The idea was born during our daily music chats, while discussing reviews we'd read. There was only one thing we consistently agreed on: they were too long. It seemed the point of how the music sounded and whether or not it was good was lost in an overlong mess of lyric quotes, personal accounts and a seemingly desperate attempt to fulfill a word count. Eventually someone said, "It's gotten to the point where if you can't say it in 75 words or less, you should shut the fuck up". Within a week, 75orless.com was born. The best part about our limit is its reversal of typical music reviews. We limit the amount of words we use, and are not required to reach a number.
To be considered for a review, send musical submissions to:
75orLess.com
ATTN: Reviews
23 Laurel Lane
Warren, RI 02885
Another option available for submissions is to make your release available for easy download. Please make sure that your music is available for download as 192kb mp3 (or better). Zip files welcome. No streaming, wav, flac, real player, windows media or quicktime files will be considered.
A few things to keep in mind...
Please include some info with your submission, it doesn't have to be fancy. We just need some sort of starting point like, "This album sounds like heavy metal mixed with Brazilian pop music." Giving us a description of your music or influences greatly increases your chances of getting reviewed. We receive over 100 submissions per month. We only review 25 per month. We are sorry to report we cannot review all submissions. We are a very small operation and our staff is completely volunteer. If your music is great, we will let our readers know. It doesn't matter to us if you are on a major label or you recorded it in your basement. On the flip side of that, if you are too sensitive too handle an unfavorable review, please refrain from submitting. We try to give positive reviews but sometimes can't help ourselves. You do not have to email us to ask us if it's ok to submit music. Please follow up your submissions by emailing us at info(at)75orless(dot)com. Do NOT use myspace for submission follow-ups. The review website and this myspace page are maintained by different people.
If you have the desire to write about music, let us know. we are always looking for contributors. you can email us at info@75orless.com for submission guidelines, which do not formally exist but we'll make them up. here are the basics-
1. our writers do not get paid.
2. if you work for a label, promotional company, band or have other connections, be prepared to not write about them.
