JANUARY 30 - LOVE OF DIAGRAMS s/t EP. This is a H-O-T M-F-F trio from Melbourne that lock in with the intensity you think your old Rough Trade singles had, then you're all disappointed when you put 'em on. Includes a cover of Pylon's "Cool"!

JANUARY 30 - LAVENDER DIAMOND "The Cavalry Of Light" EP
Perfect songs for a hopeful generation, with the purity of children's
music and the force of protest anthems, sung by the remarkably
gifted, charismatic/enigmatic spirit-waif Becky Stark.

THE PONYS "Turn The Lights Out" CD
We've wanted our greasy mitts on this band for a couple years now.
Gerard sez: "Their uncanny meditation on the great guitar bands of
New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Manchester circa 1976-1983 has been
supplanted with something more dense, volatile, visionary." And it's
true, they really pulled it out for this one.
