Bio
The ..High Spot Recording Company.. is an Australian Rock'n'Roll label distributed and marketed by ..Fuse Music ... Originally set up in 2008 by You Am I's Russell Hopkinson, it is now overseen by a shady 'gang of four' collective of Fuse employees who use their arcane skills to source a variety of disparate (desparate?) albums to inflict on the record buying public. .. ..High Spot.. is unashamedly catholic* in our music taste - if it rocks 'n' rolls, spits 'n' snarls or crackles 'n' pops... its OK by us. From the glorious power pop of ..SLOAN.. and ..THE PICTURES.., to the shouty agit-punk of ..DOUBLE DAGGER.., from the buzzy indie-pop of the ..SUMMER CATS.. to the grinding proto-hardcore of ..FLIPPER..... its all Rock'n'Roll... and we like it! ..* BTW... thats 'catholic', as in the Greek adjective καθολικός (katholikos), meaning "universal". .. ....CURRENT RELEASES ..CLICK ON A CD COVER TO BUY A COPY!! .. .. .. .. ........ ......THE CUBICAL: "COME SING THESE CRIPPLED SONGS" ..(HSR009).... .. .. Debut album from one of the best rock and roll bands to emerge from the UK in many a year. The Cubical's sound is a rowdy and inspired mix of raucous Nuggets-style garage punk (think Seeds/Pretty Things), the deep-blues vocal growls of Tom Waits and the psychedelic eccentricities of Captain Beefheart and Dr. John at their demented best. But most of all, The Cubical rock, and never get bogged down in any pretension. Australian version features four bonus tracks.... .. .. ........ ......GRANT HART: "HOT WAX" ..(HSR008).... .. .. The new solo album for Hüsker Dü legend, Grant Hart was recorded with friends from Godspeed You Black Emperor, A Silver Mt. Zion and produced by Howard Bilerman [Arcade Fire]. It also contains 'Khalid', an Aust/NZ-only exclusive bonus track. Grant will be touring AUST/NZ IN February 2010..... .. .. ........ ......SUMMER CATS: "SONGS FOR TUESDAYS" ..(HSR006)...... Hyper-driven fuzz-pop rock 'n' roll from this Melbourne band, recommended to fans of Stereolab, The Go-Betweens and and The Chills. Features the Aust/NZ bonus track, 'Mystified'. .."A supercharged Flying Nun-inspired attack... It's the sound of a great rock band playing and writing at the peak of their game, and Songs for Tuesdays is an album anyone with a fondness for spiky, catchy, and super fun indie pop should own" ..- ALL MUSIC..... .. .. ........ ......DOUBLE DAGGER: "MORE" ..(HSR007)...... The brainchild of two edgy graphic designers from Baltimore, Double Dagger is a hardcore punk/art-rock trio formed in 2002. Bringing back the spirit of the underground punk movement of the '80s & '90s, specifically that of Canadian trio Nomeansno, and Dischord bands like Minor Threat and Fugazi - Double Dagger's third album, 'More', is precisely that. It's more provocative, more realized, and more powerful than any of their prior releases..... .. .. ........ ......FLIPPER: "LOVE/FIGHT" ..(HSR005)...... Love is Flipper's first studio album in 17 years. It was recorded by celebrated 'grunge' engineer/producer Jack Endino at former Nirvana bassplayer Krist Novoselic's farm during his 3 year tenre as a full member of the band. Love shows the band hasn’t lost its touch in presenting the world some more of their patented dose of chaotic punk, sludge-laden riffs and cutting black humour. This Australian only edition also features the bonus 9 track live album 'Fight', which was recorded in 2007 in Seattle and Portland..... .. .. ........ ......THE PICTURES: "KICKING INDIFFERENCE" ..(HSR004)...... Kicking Indifference is the Pictures’ second album, and comes more than three years after their acclaimed debut, 'Pieces Of Eight'. It is their most complete work yet, darting between punkesque rockin’, pastoral psych and winning power-pop moves. ..“The band’s second album sounds grand and glorious... Kicking Indifference is not the sound of some “side project”.... the album pulls no punches – lyrically or musically. Kicking Indifference is killer.” ..- (4 Stars) MAG.... .. .. ........ ......AWESOME COLOR: "ELECTRIC ABORIGINES" ..(HSR003)...... The second album from this mighty New York-via-Michigan trio, who create a jaw-droppingly great noise caught somewhere in the musical universe of the Stooges and the MC5, cosmic-rockers Hawkwind and Spacemen 3 and the heavy trudge of primo ‘Sabbath. Licensed from Thurston Moore’s Ecstatic Peace label, this Australian edition features 4 exclusive bonus tracks. The album has been earning rave reviews overseas - including MOJO’s Underground Album Of The Month and VICE mag’s Album Of The Month .... .. .. ........ ......ROCKET SCIENCE: "DIFFERENT LIKE YOU" ..(HSR001)...... Highly decadent and wildly swingin’, ‘Different Like You’ is the best record of Rocket Science’s ten year career, chock-full of growling garage, go-go raunch, pop smarts, snarling punk and edgy rock ‘n’ roll, all packed into a punchy 35 minute wallop, just like records used to be made! This is the closest they’ve come to documenting their awesome and legendary live power on a recording! Available in stores now with a bonus 4 track "live in London" CDEP..... .. .. .... .... ......SLOAN: "PARALLEL PLAY" ..(HSR002)...... ‘Parallel Play’ It is the latest studio offering from Canadian power pop royalty Sloan. The secret to Sloan’s musical success is the band comprises of four talented and accomplished songwriters, and here (as on previous albums) each writer is given room to roam. 'Parallel Play' is rich emotionally and musically, illustrating that it is possible for a classicist guitar pop band like Sloan to grow with each passing year. ..“with power-pop generally falling into the clutches of edgeless pantywaists like Fountains of Wayne, it’s refreshing to hear one of its finest practitioners see it as a cause worth fighting for.”.. - PITCHFORK..... .. .. ......FORTHCOMING...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
