JPAR-002: Salaneuvosto - Live at Haukijärvi Tape OUT NOW

The first live tape from these mysterious Pori/Helsinki-based dub masters. They are currently working on new material, so this document of their live magic is merely a sample of their true potential. Chill out with this tape before Salaneuvosto unleashes another dub storm over us all. Recorded at Haukijärvi, summer 2011. What a magical evening! Weren't here myself, so that assumption is purely based on my imagination.

Monotonous? Yes.
Instrumental? Yes.
Captivating? Hell yes.

Co-release with Black Floyd's Tapes. Limited to 50 copies. 40 minutes.

4,5 € including postage (otherwise it's 4 €). You can order it by sending email to yours truly at piparnakkeli.kamakarhu ÄT gmail.com.

Since I've been gone... (some updates)

Been away for a while, but here's some updates!


The Escapist -cassette


Great new punk band from Jyväskylä with influences from The Zounds, Leatherface, Bad Religion, Crass etc. Melodic touch, five songs. Really moved my heart, so it's recommended that you should get this one, too. A poster-like lyric sheet and a download voucher are also included.

Visit their bandcamp and listen it for yourself.

Ruori Records / Parta Records. 2012.

Bad Jesus Experience - II 10"

Don't let the kittens fool you! This record is about furious and straight-to-the-point hardcore. Ten inches, ten songs and each of them rips you apart. Witness these people playing live.

Tuska & Ahdistus / Kämäset Levyt / Nunchakupunk / Grey Inferno Records. 2012.

Got only one of these. And yes, Bandcamp is also invented.

Hotguitars / Drake's Medicine - Split 7"

Some experimental stuff, which would make a lovely present for your grandmother, assuming she still holds proper equipment to listen to this one split of a rollercoaster. Being dead or alive is not an issue.
Weird and noisy. Also there's some instructions for you how to listen, handle, clean and store this record.

Porigian Hotguitars-side holds three separate songs, and one of them is divided into five sections as Grind Sinphony. On the other side, Drake's Medicine is responsible of one peaceful, not that chaotic song.

Kevyt Nostalgia / Sweetcore Records. 2004.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ill Blood -zine

A fresh new zine from Turku of Finland. Interviews with Foreseen, Upright, The Rival Mob and Green Menace Records. There's also some photos. Hardcore.

Xeroxed, so black & white. A5, 30something pages.

2012.

3 €

Left Cold -offer (Limited)

The next bloke who orders the "Symptoms of Our Time" -seven incher also receives a free copy of Left Cold's first demo. CD-R, three songs. Only 150 pieces of this were made in late 2009. Three dudes out of four (now LC is a 5-piece band) still play in the band.  Perhaps this demo gives only a short insight on their true potential, but it's still a interesting chapter of Left Cold's history.


SOLD

AV # 1 AVAILABLE AGAIN + Distro up to date, tadam (3.5.2012)

Got some more copies of Ajatuksen Valo # 1 -zine. It's still 2 euros + postage, or via hand-to-hand in Pori-area. The additional zines aren't ready because Johnny Park forgot them completely, so they will be available a bit later, maybe next week. Now make some orders and get something to read before they're from JPAR or local distros (Karkia Mistika [Pori], Psychedelica & Diskordia [Oulu], Räkälevyt [Turku] Tuska & Ahdistus, Tampere Hardcore Coalition + Kämäset Levyt quite soon [Tampere], Face Your Gods [Hämeenlinna] or Pupu's Bistro [Jyväskylä]) before they're sold out again. There won't be a third pressing. Promise!

Plus some pieces of plastic are also added to the distro:

Aura Saturnal - The Will Return

Cosmic yet noisy and chaotic black metal. Aura Saturnal is a one-man side project of Luxixul Sumering Auter, the band involved with Tampere-based Cosmic Church. Analog 4-track recording guarantees the kvltest lo-fi experience. Two tracks.

Ancient Tomb. 2011.

5 €. Only few copies available.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


We still have Facebook-page. Go and dig it! Otherwise Daddy Cool will show you some respect.

Distro updates 29.4.2012 (CICUTOXIN & KÄPYKAARTI)

These bands know how to roll, but aren't afraid to use some unorthodox instruments as well.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cicutoxin - Demo 2010 tape

Cicuta virosa is a venomous plant often met in various wet locations. Cicutoxin is the lethal poison in that plant, and also a doom/sludge band from central Finland. Cicutoxin recorded these six fantastic pieces of doom gospel already in 2010, but this monster with elegant sleeves wasn't unleashed until now. They also have a violin, but don't use it in a My Dying Bride-manner. If you're into doomy kind of music, then this is your poison. Instead of renewing your prescription, get some Cicutoxin-tape instead to scare off those demons inside your head.

Listen to some samples here. And by the way, the actual cover differs from the version presented here.

Käpykaarti - Helppoja ratkaisuja moniulotteisiin ongelmiin 7"

Käpykaarti is a punk band, that should be known by just about everybody. Käpykaarti continues the work which was started by bands like Olotila, Pax Americana and Alakulttuurin Kusipäät. But let's forget them, because Käpykaarti is a story of it's own. A story fueled with political lyrics and a saxophone. This is not their first record, but at least it's their first output on magical seven inches. Four songs full of solutions. Solution? Käpykaarti, the band of the jolly fishermen! And punk is not only about the music? Who would have thought...

Distro updates 28.4.2012 (URBAN UNREST!)

Urban Unrest / Parental Shock -Split LP


Urban Unrest worships USHC, and are not ashamed of it at all, while Parental Shock (which consists of some former Drowning Nation -members) takes care of the punkier side of the cake. And the cover is drawn by Brian Walsby. Use this record to scare your parents and get your hc-kicks, while keeping your middle finger pointed at the system!

United Shoebrothers / Rabbit's Foot Records. 2012.

10 €

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Urban Unrest - On a String 7"


A great seven-incher from these HKI-based hardcore kids! Perhaps not the best record they have released, but "On a String" certainly isn't far from it. These six songs have enough power to demolish your home hoods entirely! Hardcore with your square pattern shirts on!

United Shoebrothers / Rabbit's Foot Records. 2009.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ajatuksen Valo # 1 is temporarily sold out, but the second pressing is on it's way. Meanwhile, you can ask it from at least from Tuska & Ahdistus, Pupu's Bistro, Psychedelica, Karkia Mistika and Face Your Gods. They still have some copies. OR you can order it straight from Johnny Park, and the zine will be sent to you once the second pressing is in my hairy hands.

Distro updates 20.4.2012 (Carbonized & The Hindu Gods of Love)

These babies have just arrived to JPAR-headquarters:


Carbonized 4 Way Split - Turronizer / Ebola / Sposa in Alto Mare / Hippycrack -tape

Turronizer (Spain), Ebola (Italy) and Sposa in Alto Mare (Italy) represent gritty grindcore, while Hippycrack (Pori, Finland) is the ambassador of more grittier harsh noise. Perfect blend? "Make tape not CDR". Only 300 copies made, and there's only around a few dozen of these babies in Finland.

4 € with postage included. If you order it with something else, it'll be 3,50 €. I got this with both pink and white covers, so please let me know which color you want.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Hindu Gods of Love - Hometown Hop 10"


Rock your guts out with The Hindu Gods of Love! Six songs and ten inches are enough to keep any rock 'n' roll -addicts satisfied. Smells like garage. If you're going home, then make sure that these Gods are with you!
