ADRC 10 NAVASTRAU THE NAVASTRAU TAPES MC 10.2016
Navastrau is the music of Chicago's essential, early dark-wave and psych-punk visionary
Rick Gallo alongside a rotating cast of Chicago's early punk pioneers (ft. members of
The C*nts, Painterband, Ministry, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, Meaty Buys, and
more). The band stretches nervous diatribes over pulsating drum beats, punctuated by
buzzed out guitars and heavy analogue synthesizers. This handy cassette release offers
the band's earliest vinyl output with additional unreleased material.

ADR12 14 ENERGY GOWN EVENING MOLASSES LP 08.2014
After too long of a wait, the debut LP from Chicago psych punks Energy Gown sees
release. Acid soundscapes and melt your face guitar combine with pulsing rhythms and
distorted voices to envelope you in layers of pure psychedelic energy. This record is
a psych rock gem, filled with a finely honed vibe that rewards repeated auditory
examinations with aural enlightenment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ADRCD 19 REMEDY : THE GOLDEN VOICE SESSIONS 1970-1974 CD 10.2016

ADR12C 22 TRIAL BY FIRE 1982 LP 12.2017
The lost and unreleased 1982 LP by Trial By Fire. When Chicago punk legends Strike
Under broke up in 1981, three of the four members went on to form Trial By Fire. This
was one of the city's first bands to play thrash style hc, which made Trial By Fire
scene favorites, especially among the younger allages set. Far from being a by-the
numbers hardcore group, Trial By Fire's sound bore a heavy Stranglers and post-punk
influence as well, which helped in the process of creating a unique repertoire which
sits alongside the best of like minde units s.a. Naked Raygun. In fact, when bassist
-vocalist Pierre Kezdy later joined Naked Raygun, he brought the classic tune 'Rocks
Of Sweden' along with him. This LP, here on RED AND YELLOW VINYL, includes a full
-colour insert with rare photos and detailed liner notes. Limited availability!

ADRCD 23 FOOD & MONEY 1979-1982 CD 07.2017
Springfield Illinois' Food & Money formed in the waning years of the 1970s. Not
content with the ubiquitous middle of the road FM radio rock of their peers, Food
& Money played absurd, funky, socially conscious, sarcastic new wave and were
pioneers of weird in the mostly conservative Midwest scene. This anthology collects
Food & Money's entire discography into one release. This album includes their sought
after first 7" 'Economic Bullies' (1980). It also includes their only other proper
release, the live cassette 'No Loafers' (1982) and six unreleased bonus tracks.

sought-after Golden Voice 45 as well as 10 other cuts, ranging from Mothers Of
Invention inspired wackiness to sincere late '60s teen pop. Thantaopsis pushed the

drums and a unique take on punk's early sound.

ADR7 29 FROM 8:00 TO 5:69 7" 02.2019
A 8:00 TO 5:69
B CHASE ME UP A RHUBARB TREE
A limited archival vinyl reissue of an ultra-rare late 1966 Chicago garage-punk-fuzz
screamer! Only 100 copies of this gem were pressed in 1966 and originals are almost
impossible to find today! FROM played local shows and teen dances on the north side
of Chicago in the mid-1960s. Their one shot in the studio resulted in two unique cuts
of 1960s garage rock. '8:00 To 5:69' is a straight-up ode to the band's late night
lifestyle. 'Chase Me Up A Rhubarb Tree' is a break up/put down song with a twist
(rhubarbs don't grow on trees!).

evolution on their second album, with many original songs that were only ever played

as capable of being the evening's entertainers as well as storytellers and poets in
the studio. The recordings were restored, carefully mastered and pressed into 160
gram vinyl. Housed in a heavy-duty classic style tip-on jacket including previously
unseen pictures and informative liner notes. A rare nine song document of The Contents
Are's expansive live sound. Intense jams for the psychedelic dancehall circa 1968
