Wronger to be released through Solar Flare Records : ORDER SLF020 :: PIGS - Wronger LP, CD & Digital LISTEN TO "THE LIFE IN PINK" AT NOISEY COMMANDER ICI Brooklyn-based power-trio, PIGS -- founded by members of Unsane, Paradise Club and much more -- will release their second LP, Wronger, through the outfit's trusted source at France's Solar Flare Records in early October, and the maiden single from the slab has been unleashed early via Noisey. TRACKLIST : 01. A Great Blight 02. The Life In Pink 03. Bet It All On Black 04. Amateur Hour In Dick City 05. Mope 06. Wrap It Up 07. Mouth Dump 08. Make Sure To Forget 09. Bug Boy* 10. Wronger 11. Donnybrook *vocals by Julie Christmas Following PIGS criminally slept on You Ruin Everything debut LP in 2012, and subsequent Gaffe EP in 2013, the band's sophomore album Wronger was written and recorded sporadically over the last year or so, when each member wasn't focused on feeding their families, detailing race cars or doing sound for like-minded ogres Melvins, Big Business, and Murder City Devils.

Hey ! Some news from Solar Flare Records, the new album by french Noise / Post-Hardcore band WATERTANK will be out June 29th : ORDER SLF019 :: WATERTANK - Destination Unknown LP, CD et Digital LISTEN TO "DCVR" ON MOWNO ORDER HERE Two years after their first release, Watertank are back with “Destination Unknown”, a 9­ song full length (a little less than 35 minutes), composed and recorded on a unusual short notice, revealing a more confident band through strongly crafted songs. The Nantes ­based band are still in love with melodic hooks, and down­tuned heavy riffing (“Dcvr” / “Doomed Drifters”), evolving from their post­-hardcore background (“Contrails”) to explore new territories (“Scheme” / “Destination Unknown”), they aim to deliver a lasting listening enjoyment. TRACKLIST : 1. Automatic Reset 2. Fever 3. Contrails 4. DCVR 5. Last/Lost Hope 6. Surrender 7. Doomed Drifters 8. Scheme 9. Destination Unknown Once again recorded by Patrice Guillerme (Papier Tigre / Patriotic Sunday) and mastered by Carl Saff (Coliseum / Pilot To Gunner), “Destination Unknown” marks a step forwards for the renewed line­up (who took part of last year Hellfest edition), gearing up for a few dates with Torche in 2015.

We're really happy to welcome BIG BUSINESS (rhythm section of THE MELVINS) at Solar Flare Records, for their latest album Battlefields Forever reissue : ORDER GM003 :: BIG BUSINES - Battlefields Forever LP, CD Digipack reissue LISTEN TO THE FULL ALBUM ON THE PRP ORDER HERE Big Business started as a two piece band composed of Jared Warren of Karp and The Tight Bros From Way Back When, and Coady Willis of Murder City Devils. Their sound has been characterized as a bombastic and frantic low end attack, marked by Warren’s signature vocal delivery. The band released its first album, “Head for the Shallow”, on January 25, 2005. In late 2006, after relocating to Los Angeles, Jared and Coady both became members of The Melvins, first appearing on “(A) Senile Animal”. The tour, titled “the Double-Drumming Rock for Peace tour”, featured Warren and Willis playing a set as Big Business before being joined by Crover and Osborne for a set as The Melvins. Two guys grinding out beefy hardcore as loud and heavy as humanly possible. Big Guy Jared Warren wrestles bass and vocals, Little Guy Coady Willis mans the drums and scant backing vocals. And how they do beat the crap out of their instruments! TRACKLIST : 1. Chump Chance 2. No Vowels 3. Battlefields 4. Trees 5. Aurum 6. Doomsday Today! 7. Heavy Shoes 8. Our Mutant 9. Lonely Lyle Big Business are Jared Warren (KARP, Tight Bros From Way Back When, The Whip) and Coady Willis (Murder City Devils, Dead Low Tide). They play the kind of music that sounds like steamroller bass rumble dump truck crashing into Slayer having sex with CCR…on acid.

A whole new release for Solar Flare Records, new album by NYC Noise Hardcore Power Trio FASHION WEEK is now available : ORDER SLF018 :: FASHION WEEK - Prêt-à-Porter LP, CD & Digital LISTEN TO THE ALBUM IN ITS ENTIRETY ON INVISIBLE ORANGES COMMANDER ICI In the late 1980s Fashion Week established itself as part of the New York noise scene, releasing its first album Clorox for the independent record label Under Pop in 1989. The band eventually came to develop a sound that relied on dynamic contrasts, often between pummeling verses and loud, catchy choruses. After signing to major label David Muffin Records, Fashion Week found unexpected success with “Smells Like Old Spice”, the first single from the band’s second album Fuhgeddaboudit (1991). Fashion Week’s sudden success widely popularized alternative rock as a whole, and as the band’s frontman Lozano found himself referred to in the media as the “spokesman of a generation”, with Fashion Week being considered the “flagship band” of Generation X. Fashion Week’s third studio album In Uterus (1993), challenged the group’s audience, featuring an abrasive, less-mainstream sound. TRACKLIST : 1. Fendi Bender 2. Chorusace 3. Meek Is Miznabble 4. Summer Line 5. Fur Free Friday 6. Klosstrophobia 7. “FASHION”=~S/(\$)/COLLAPSE/GSO; 8. Haute Topic Fashion Week’s brief run ended following the death of Josh Lozano in 1994, but various posthumous releases have been issued since, overseen by Rodriguez, Eklof, and Lozano’s widow Catherine Lust. Since its debut, the band has sold over 25 million albums in the United States alone, and over 50 million worldwide. Eklof went on to form the highly acclaimed “Food Fighters”, and Rodriguez has pursued a career in politics, and wedding crashing.

Another release for Solar Flare Records! We'll be releasing Chicago's combo AMERICAN HERITAGE new album entitled Prolapse : PREORDER SLF016 :: AMERICAN HERITAGE - Prolapse LP & CD out November 24th 2014 LISTEN TO « ANXIOUS BEDWETTER » PREMIERED AT REVOLVER MAGAZINE ORDER HERE Prolapse leads with six cranked-up AMERICAN HERITAGE originals followed by three covers, the album energizing the listener from the lead riff of opening track, “Eastward Cast The Entrails.” Yet it’s the second track, “Anxious Bedwetter,” which takes the whiplash level up a notch, with jacked-up rhythms and layered leads thundering in and out in a mesmerizing, epic attack. A highlight of the album, this one will not just reel in the diehards who have followed the progression of AMERICAN HERITAGE since their 1996 foundation, but pretty much anybody into forward-thinking, sludge-touched riffery of Mastodon, Keelhaul, Tombs and Hull should not walk away disappointed. TRACKLIST : 1. Eastward Cast the Entrails 2. Anxious Bedwetter 3. Obliviocrity 4. Constant and Consuming Fear of Death and Dying 5. Mask Of Lies 6. Blackbird 7. Hürtin’ Crüe [Descendents Cover] 8. Thirsty and Miserable [black Flag Cover] 9. Bulletproof Cupid [Girls Against Boys Cover] Prolapse was produced by Sanford Parker at SOMA Studios with additional recording by Mike Lust (Tight Phantomz, Football) and Che Arthur (Pink Avalanche), with additional vocals and guitars from Lust, and Parker supplying keyboards and handling mixing duties, and Jeffrey Lohrber (Enabler, Today is the Day) contributing vocals to a track.

Good news ! Dazzling Killmen, Craw and Keelhaul fans we'll be releasing french Noise Rock power trio's next album PORD entitled Wild : PREORDER SLF017 :: PORD - Wild LP & CD out September 8th (10% discount on preorders) LISTEN TO « STARING INTO SPACE » AT AMERICAN AFTERMATH ORDER HERE In March of 2014, PORD raided Rec Studio in Geneva to record their sophomore LP with Serge Morattel (Knut, Tantrum, Ventura, Basement...). Dubbed Wild, the strewn but cohesive nature of the band's output on Wild is as contagious as it is caustic, the album's output showing a renewed musical evolution, with PORD's typical raging sound coupled with a hint of straight rock and roll on a number of songs. With a faster pace and precise execution, their taut and aggressive delivery remains intact throughout the nearly forty-minute venture. The vocals also evolve toward a more rasping, primitive and offbeat rendering of cruder and increasingly straightforward lyrics.

We have newcomers at Solar Flare Records, we're glad to release the upcoming album of THE GREAT SABATINI entitled Dog Years : PREORDER SLF015 :: THE GREAT SABATINI - Dog Years LP out June 2nd (+mp3 coupon) ORDER HERE THE GREAT SABATINI’s third proper full-length, Dog Years was recorded, mixed and mastered by Sean Pearson (Cursed, Shallow North Dakota), and boasts the band’s raw, unpolished approach to capture n act with years of accumulated experience touring, writing and recording together. The aim was to create a hi-fi document with all of their lo-fi sensibilities, grit and live energy intact, and the results are astoundingly destructive. The band tackles an endless array of approaches within the delivery of their well-honed and devastating hooks and vocal styles. Through a spew of independent and unsigned singles, EPs and two previous full-length releases since 2008 amidst bouts of regional touring as well as extensive tours of North America and Europe, the band has gained a loyal fanbase within the noise, metal and sludge circuits, including the heads of Solar Flare Records, who now brings the band into their ever-expanding roster of gnarled audio chaos, for the release of Dog Years.
