Transmorphosis &
Other Short Story
Book with CD
Boris Belony
12 Euro
Brought together here for the first time ever is a collection of short stories by the enigmatic gentleman writer Boris Belony. Throughout these 53 tales, we get a unique perspective
into one man's attempt to find his own place in modern Ireland. Filtering his daily experiences through the romantic lens of a surreal mind, Mr. Belony brings
us a fascinating critical examination both of real Dublin as well as of it's parallel realms. This new book comes with a 9 track CD featuring the author reading a selection of the stories accompanied by contemporary music composed by Julia Mahon featuring piano, harp, viola and saw. Illustrations in the book are done by Mike Ahern.
"Franz Kafka meets Flann O'Brien meets John Kennedy Toole. Reads like a collection of your worst cheese nightmares and the essays that persuade primary school teachers to call in social workers. Surreal, hilarious and very, very smart - and then, just when
you're settling into a vein of laughter, unexpectedly, disquietingly, sad and touching. I loved every page." - Paul Howard aka Ross O'Carroll-Kelly
"Once purveyed as zerox and staples in seedy emporiums where brattish halfwits embroidered with patches of bicycles battled ranting old crones for the final copy in a manner that recalled the Burkina Faso breadcrumb riots, this sirloin of churlish meander whips the monumental
hex of inertia into wry fieldnotes..." - Boz Mugabe

Excuses
State Emergency
7 Inch EP
Six track punk onslaught from Northwest Ireland's Excuses. This record is fast and pissed off. Harking back to an early 80's American hardcore influence
mixed with an English street punk sound. Snotty, loud and to the point political lyrics served with a punch in the teeth. Excuses are most
certainly at the fore front of Irish punk leaving no crusty, skin, punk, or any other degenerate behind. Split label release
with BBP Records, Distroy Records, FTS Records and the band. Go be their friend or they might beat you up: Excuses's My Space page.
Coming very soon.......

Novissimis, a powerfull wall of dual vocal crust doom with added blast
beats. The recordings on this album are exclusive one-off tracks and have already

Sea Dog
Wizards of the Coast
LP
12 Euro
Starting with a distortion pedal, an echo box and some riffs inspired
by Prince's "Sign O' the Times" live DVD, Sea Dog decided it was time
to turn off the DVD player and pick up the guitars. Righteous Harmony
(Guitar), Damien (Guitar) and Scotty 2 Hotty (Drums) are a living
testament to the true desire of having a good time all the time and
bringing true instrumental hard rock grooves to those who deserve it!
Hailing from Stab City aka Limerick, Ireland. If you can imagine a
hard, cloudy, wet, windy day in that fair city, you can be sure Sea Dog
are coming over the horizon blasting thunderous groove riffs and
taking no prisoners.
Come enjoy a heavy dose
of guitar rock and provide some worship for the riffage. This first LP from the Sea Dog boys has 6 songs of
pure instrumental hard rock grooves. The record that keeps on giving.
Take a visit to the underwater enchanted world of Sea Dog's myspace page.
"Upon reflection, we have heard a shockingly
small number of Irish musicians
lately, so we were fairly jazzed to dig
into Sea Dog’s Wizards of the Coast
LP (Stitchy Press), and it’s a pip. Classic
instrumental trio thud with nods to
doofs as disparate as Sir Lord Baltimore
and Wishbone Ash. We have a feeling
Mr. Joseph Carducci would approve."
- Bull Tongue Column Arthur Magazine
"The titles really tell the story: What do you call a technically
proficient metal song with a lo-fi bottom end? "Cave Mustaine"! If you
like old school metal but hate the super douche posturing that comes
with it, then this six-song instrumentalonslaught from Ireland is for
you".

The Ghastly Grimey Orchestra
of New Orleans
CD
Hand printed three colour cover
12 Euro
The Ghastly Grimey Orchestra
was drawn together in the hot summer
of New Orleans in 2002.
Inspired by Edward Gorey's illustrated alphabeth,
"The Gashlycrumb Tinies,"the orchestra composed 26 songs.
From elevator shafts,to haunted warehouses,
to the living rooms of shotgun houses, the orchestra played.
On theramins and chattering teeth, accordians
and busted children's toys, the orchestra played.
Time flies as it does
and the years swallowed up master tapes
and memories and time, mostly time...
but finally now, we present this long awaited cd.
Featuring musicians from Impractical Cockpit,
Uke of Phillips, Oak, and Boneyard Witch.
"...the songs begin to drift from narrative into a deep wellspring of emotional, wordless vignettes that accompany one in pondering some of the gloomier aspects of the topics that the pieces are covering..."
