Just what the world needs... another damn label! In this era of mind-numbing musical mediocrity, sagging sales, major label mega-mergers and indie label burn-out, why the hell would anyone do something crazy like start a label?! Like the medicine it's named after, Ipecac Recordings is here to purge you of the drek that's been rotting in your tummies.
Ipecac Recordings is the brainchild of Greg Werckman (former label manager for the legendary punk label, Alternative Tentacles, employee for Mercury Records for a record 15 minutes, currently operating Pick-A-Winner Management) and Mike Patton (former Faith No More frontman, currently of Mr. Bungle and Fant™mas). Werckman and Patton have been scheming for years (in between video games) about starting their very own label, waiting for just the right moment to unleash their master plan. Ipecac Recordings is not about to make music biz history and execute a revolution (although one is surely needed) or bore you by waxing poetic about their original musical philosophies. But if we have to adhere to a "mission statement," how about the notion of being an honest, artist friendly label run on a shoe string with no outrageous promotional or production costs. This label will be a home to Mike Patton's eclectic musical collaborations as well as a place where bands we admire will have the freedom to release music they might not be able to, or want to, release on other labels.
Hey! Makac's new release or 6 freaky spells of Dark Jazz'n'Groove freely inspired from Russ Meyer, Lalo Schiffrin, Charles Manson, Alice in Wonderland or the Twilight Zone… You can download that strange fruit through the link below:
For those of you interested in new music that will make you squeal like a pig that's taken too much ecstasy, check out LINE IN THE SAND. Have a nice day.
The soundtrack for the wedding party of anger & gloom. Traktor from Sweden, which are not only highly considered in circles of connoisseurs because of their extraordinary live qualities, perfect their grim chaos-core on their first full length, entitled Lights. The typical Traktor sound from the early days with indigestive breaks and dissonant guitar riffs in the vein of famous San Diego bands like Drive Like Jehu or Swing Kids is getting enobled with dark & calm passages. Although the album was mastered in the much sought-after Tonteknik-Studio in Umeå, the regulary comparisons to Refused or early JR Ewing are less present, then genre bulks like Lack or Breach. Lights is an album designed for a cheerless winter, post-hardcore between aggression & depression.
