MIRIAM & NOBODY'S BABIES
THE MOTO-GATORS
Miriam Linna began her music career as the first drummer for the Cramps in 1976 New York. The Sudbury, Ontario, native went on to pound the skins for the Zantees and frat-rock luminaries the A-Bones. Linna is perhaps best known for co-founding the legendary Kicks magazine and Norton Records, both with her husband Billy Miller.
In 2014, Linna teamed up with producer Sam Elwitt to release her first solo album, the wall-of-sound tour de force Nobody's Baby (Norton), which was lauded as the best album of 2014 and reached #1 on the influential WFMU. Linna hit the ground running in 2015 with the smash single "The Hand Don't Fit The Glove," with a new album Down Today to be released on October 2nd.
Miriam Linna backing band (Nobody's Babies) is led by Sam Elwitt, with Bruce Bennett, Justina Davies, Matt Fiveash and David Lindsay.

All The Sense In The World
BLACK HELICOPTER
A BUNCH OF GIRLS • MARTIN BISI • THE JOEYS
Birthed from the smoking embers of two of the more critically acclaimed and adventurous bands out of Boston in the late '80s/early '90s (Green Magnet School and Kudgel), Ecstatic Peace recording artists Black Helicopter are the real deal. A classic sense of rock heaviness and infectious melody in league with Satan. But they are their own thing, deep and distinctive.

ATLANTIC THRILLS
PARTY LIGHTS • BAMBOO KIDS • THIGH HIGHS
"Garage-rock" has been cut up into so many subgenres and had its gene pool polluted to the point where it's difficult to remember what an honest to goodness garage band even sounds like anymore. Let Atlantic Thrills remind you. There are a lot of groups today playing in one corner of the genre, playing the same old song over and over — some do it well, some not. But there aren't many bands that can play across the board, any style — agitated punkers, reverb-drenched wailers, drug-soaked psych-outs, beach party anthems, moody slow burners, twanged-up poppers — the Thrills provide you with all of that, and in spades.

One Last Dance While The World Burns
PETER LANCTOT & THE STRAY DOGS
GALAPAGOS NOW!
Pete Lanctot is a singer songwriter living in Brooklyn, NY. His songs are surreal and mysterious narratives often featuring sordid casts of characters who’s time, locations and origins are vague, and seem equally likely to be found in present day NYC, a Memphis juke joint of the '20s or hitchhiking a depression-era plains state highway. Musically, Pete’s songs carry on the American traditions of blues, folk and country music while avoiding reproduction and derivation, and embrace sonic experimentalism and the avant garde. Traditional blues and ballad forms are bent from their original shapes by untraditional playing techniques, droning accompaniments, and interactive free improvisation within the band. In a live setting, Pete accompanies his singing with a wide array of instruments including guitar, viola, violin, accordion and the haunting sounds of a strohviolin (a bowed string instrument where the sound is produced through a metal gramaphone-like horn). His band features a rotating cast of talented musicians and improvisers. Often utilizing very traditional blues, country and string band instrumentations (upright bass, drums, guitar, horns, banjo and pedal steel), the result is far from a polite Americana sound.
On and off the radar of Brooklyn’s underground since 2007, Galapagos Now! has carved a niche for itself as a group "of truly independent mind, and a totally individual sound," if the hype is to be believed. Galapagos Now! is a power trio that revolves around the collaboration between Joe Dairy and Mark Gurarie. Dairy (aka Jeff Waite), whose eight solo records are a testament to his prolific work as a kind of anti-Americana singer-songwriter, adds a croon or howl to the proceedings, whereas Gurarie sings "ugly," as he likes to put it, while holding down the bass. Elder Merchant, Brooklyn native and former drummer for Gözer, keeps the group in straight time while handling the band’s foreign relations. The band has toured the Midwest and South of the United States, as well as Europe. In August 2013, the tour behind a European release of their Compulsive Behavior EP brought them to the UK, Spain and Germany.

Twine Time!
THE MOTO-GATORS • HEAP
New York's The Moto-Gators are a swingin' instrumental combo, playing guitarist Ron Kellum's Stax/Link Wray-inspired tunes and a choice assortment of Moto-Gating covers. The band includes former and current members of the Piggies, the Underthings, the Sea Monkeys, the Dirt Cheap, and Wig!
"Heap bring the best, most shining example of The Replacements inspired rock'n roll that I can recall. Really. There's lots of the rootsy, bar charm that The Plimsouls brought to the party, too (think first Plimsouls album) — as well as the post-'Mats band, Bash And Pop and a bit of Love Nut. Rocking and almost criminally hooky... the thick sound ties in with the tight arrangements to ratchet up the fervour that much more. If Heap doesn't make your soul bubble open with joy, then are you already dead. This is real hook-ridden rock 'n roll that pop lovers are going to dig!" -Not Lame Recordings

Take Me For A Little While
MIRIAM & NOBODY'S BABIES
SUZETTE SUNDAE & THE LOVELIFES
Miriam. That’s right, just one name, like Cher or Madonna. Or Winger, for that matter. Nobody’s Baby is Miriam’s first solo album, and it’s a gem. If you’re expecting the same high-intensity, raucous'n'roll you find with The A-Bones, you won’t get it on Nobody’s Baby. Instead, this album reminds of two previous records, classy efforts both, in the Norton Records catalog: Dangerous Game, the 2007 "comeback" album by Mary Weiss, lead singer of The Shangri-Las, and All Or Nothing by La La Brooks, who used to sing with The Crystals. Like those older albums, Nobody’s Baby is a contemporary take on the classic early- to mid-'60s girl-group sound — an adult update on the teen yearning and, yes, angst of that golden period.

Music For All Occasions
SIMON & THE BAR SINISTERS
HEAP • THE DAN MONTGOMERY 3+2
Led by guitar virtuoso Simon Chardiet, Simon & The Bar Sinisters make music that is truly unclassifiable. Chardiet shifts effortlessly, both in terms of guitar and vocal style, from rockabilly to Big Star-type pop to snarling British punk, and then onto ZZ Top-ish riffing. Listening to Simon could be a shortcut to a more complete musical education. Seeing him live is more like receiving a guitar lesson. Throw some NYC bad attitude ("I'd Be Grateful if You Were Dead") into the mix, then stir, and you have some serious gumbo.

Full Circle
ROUND EYE
MR. CLIT & THE PINK CIGARETTES
KLUB URANUS • BORTIS MINORTS
Round Eye, the experimental freak-punk outfit have accrued quite a loud and controversial name for themselves since forming in 2012. The Shanghai based group have shown no mercy nor fatigue in sound development or work ethic and have as of late been a crucial force in bridging a wide gap between the eastern and western hemispheres of punk-rock. Along with blazing a gnarly trail all over the globe (USA, Mexico, S. Korea, Japan) they’ve toured the mainland of China a number of times and have played host to visiting western groups and some legends as well.
They’ve shared stages with western groups such as D.O.A., The FUs, Paul Collins Beat, M.O.T.O., Ceremony, and Iceage, eastern groups such as P.K.14,SMZB and Misandao and have been banned from performing on the mainland by the Ministry of Culture during a tour with UK punk legends The Boys (as a result the tour was forced to literally go underground where they held the secret gigs in bomb shelters around the country). The ban lasted only the duration of the tour and was assigned due to "crowd control issues" following the tragic Shanghai band stampede, a controversial tour poster, and reports of Round Eye’s lewd stage antics.
They’ve won the "Best Local Band" title from Shanghai’s City Weekend magazine two years in a row. They’ve released two music videos (one starring famed Chinese actress Wang Lin) and honed their unconventional blend of '50s r&b and punk with a critically acclaimed EP Full Circle on Ripping/Genjing Records which featured Greg Ginn (Black Flag), and have drawn comparisons to the Stooges, Dr. Feelgood, and The Fall. Currently, they are set to drop their eponymous LP in June, which features saxophonist Steve Mackay (The Stooges/Violent Femmes) and R. Stevie Moore.

Do What You Wanna Do
THE ABOVE
THE NUCLEARS • THE SHADES • GORILLA CHIEF
The Above are a rock'n'roll group hailing from Brooklyn, New York. Some folks might call them a garage band... others might describe their sound as rhythm and blues... but regardless of how they are categorized, it is undeniable that their music compels some serious dancing. With tube amps screamin', drum kits stompin', and vocal harmonies wailin', these ambassadors of freakbeat are making good in the city where rock'n'roll will never die.
