Ajatuksen Valo 9,5 OUT NOW! (+lots of updates)

This "half-issue" of Ajatuksen Valo represents continuation for the post punk oriented ninth issue. Now we have interviews of Crusades (dark and melodic punk rock), Cold Institution (cold post punk with two basses) and the now-deceased Palace Beautiful (anarchopunk with a post punk vibe). Additionally we have a B-rate movie article, plus some writings about music, movies and shows. Plus there's a photograph of the author drinking beer in the forest when he was 17 years old.

Black and white, written entirely in finnish, contains 44 pages and is laid out in A5 size. That's as much as the first issues of Ajatuksen Valo were! Think about that! 

It costs 3 euros a piece and 4 euros with postage (inside Finland). As usual, write to piparnakkeli.kamakarhu AT gmail.com for orders!

And here's quite a long distro update!

Pelkkä Väliviiva - Muistoja konserttilavoilta live tape OUT NOW and distro updates

This is a live tape by Pelkkä Väliviiva, a project by the man involved with Sur-rur, Seksihullut and Home Video, Ville Vuorenmaa. Here we have two live shows recorded in Turku featuring some tracks from Pelkkä Väliviiva LP, some previously unreleased material and Sur-rur songs. There's some introverted music for around one hour over here!

Currently there's no real samples available, but here's some Pelkkä Väliviiva studio tracks. Note that the Pelkkä Väliviiva live experience is much more minimalistic and raw than the studio outputs.

This is a joint-release with Joteskii Groteskii. The tape is also available for wholesales, however just in small amounts.

The price is four euros, five euros including the shipping inside Finland.

Write to piparnakkeli.kamakarhu AT gmail.com for orders.

Raptus – Se minkä aurinko ympäröi Tape OUT NOW

Raptus is the most underrated finnish rock band based in Tampere. And a four-headed demon. They released a 7” EP a while ago, and this ”Se minkä aurinko ympäröi” tape was bred as a companion for that record. These six songs recorded in the same sessions where those 7” tracks were crafted, but these are different songs. If you want to describe Raptus' musical output, you could say it's neurotic noise rock blended with post-punk elements and most importantly; love. Get both the 7” and the tape for the ultimate Raptus experience! Have a listen! 

The official release date is/was 15th March. Yeah, it was yesterday, so the tape is available for orders! This is a split release with the awesome Shitsuck Tapes And Stuff label. Support them too!

The cost for single tape is four (4) euros, and the shipping fees will be added. Available for wholesales as well.

If you want to order the tape from JPAR, you can write to piparnakkeli.kamakarhu AT gmail.com or place your order thru Bigcartel.
