Another crazy CRYPT RECORDS ad, this one from 1990, scanned out of Forced Exposure #16 fanzine.
Early SUN CITY GIRLS and Majora Records ad, from Forced Exposure #16, 1990.

LOS CRISPIS are a shambling Argentinian pop band with one really killer song called “Breakfast”, which you can listen to here. I’m still trying to figure out what I think about the rest. Looks like they’re touring Europe as we speak.
Classy fanzine called FLESH AND BONES from 1989 or so. This was their last issue – a terrific read, even if most of the bands were of the “hesher”/pre-grunge variety. And no, I don’t know who that is on the cover.

The FLESH EATERS, live and in color 1982. From a stunning photostream of LA punk/art/noise/indie flyers and photos from the early 80s.
Excellent overview of late 70s Swedish punk from FORCED EXPOSURE fanzine #16. Johann Kugelberg still owes me a record for that Brainbombs single I bought him in 1992.
BILL DIREEN, taken from Forced Exposure Magazine #16.
XPRESSWAY were the darker, more experimental record label cousin of New Zealand’s Flying Nun. Operating out of Port Chalmers on the South Island, Xpressway was originally a late 80s/early 90s cassette label and later branched into singles and LPs. They were a real cult taste there for a while, putting out early moody, shape-shifting sounds from the Dead C, Alastair Galbraith, the Terminals and more.
This ad came from Siltbreeze magazine #6 around 1990 or so. (Yes, before Siltbreeze was a raunched-out music fanzine before it was a label). Tom Lax from Siltbreeze was probably Xpressway’s biggest US-based champion; I’d certainly never heard of the label before he started yakking about them and running cool ads like this one.
Here’s a new edition of the Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio Show Podcast, our eighth, recorded at home on a Saturday afternoon while the rest of the world was doing more important things. Download it, stream it, do whatever the hell you want with it – but do listen to it, as you’ll hear an hour of righteous sounds from some pretty gnarly artists, including The Scientists, Grass Widow, Big Blood, the Gun Club, The Door and The Window, Look Blue Go Purple, Sally Skull, the Black Jaspers, Clothilde, the Flesh Eaters and As Mercenarias.
