BEAT BUTTONS "Beat Buttons" from Bakery Outlet
BUY LP • $7.50
BUY CD • $8.00

"Alex Lopez proved he had the ability to write amazing pop songs with his previous bands Anklebiter and Argentina, and with the Beat Buttons he has only perfected that. James Hernandez (bass) and Micah Daw (drums) combine to form a powerful rhythm section and help create catchy bass lines and ripping drums beats that you can shake your ass to. Reminiscent of the Pixies, Wedding Present, and Superchunk, but refreshingly unique, these guys are quickly becoming one of Gainesville's favorite bands. Every song on this record will stick in your head: catchy, dance-y, and absolutely amazing live! This is one of those records you put on in the morning if you want to be stoked about the day." - Ryan Murphy "Ex-members of Argentina and Slang come together to form Gainesville, FL's Beat Buttons. The bass and drums drive hard to keep you dancing, while the guitar and vocals mimic each other with melodies that will hold you long after the CD is over. The Beat Buttons succeed in the same way a band like Weezer does (or did)--making complex, well-thought out pop songs that sound simple and effortless. I heard someone say that Alex Lopez (vocals/guitar) writes 'children's songs for adults,' and I think he does. The songs are so natural and memorable, you feel as though you've known them forever." --Lenny Rutland (Bakery Outlet Records)

CASSETTE "Cassette" from Bakery Outlet
BUY CD • $8.00

Cassette is Samantha Jones. Though the live and recorded manifestations of Cassette may take on many forms--sometimes alone and unguarded with just acoustic guitar and voice, while at other times backed by a rotating band of friends--the songs and the warm, compassionate, inviting feelings projected from them are wholly Samantha. Known by many from her days with bands like Rumbleseat, Bitchin', and Crustaceans, Samantha's work in Cassette is a departure from her past. All defenses have been lowered, and we are welcomed into the heart of Samantha's experience- told in a frank, honest, and organic voice. The themes vary on the album from songs that express heartbreak in terms that even the most heartbroken can relate to, to skillfully woven narratives that make listeners feel as though the singer is giving heartfelt advice directly to them. The tracks reflect a spectrum of musical influence from the country twang of "Spring's Gone" to the jazzy lilt of "Thirst Like Water." With this self titled release, Cassette has produced a record in the vein of David Grubbs, Will Oldham, and Lucinda Williams. On this particular manifestation, Cassette is Samantha on guitar and vocals, backed by Stirling Krusing (piano), Gabriel Galvin (drums & percussion), and Matt Radick (bass and cello), all resident musicians of Gainesville, Florida. The arrangements on the album are beautiful and complimentary. No single instrument struggles for attention, which allows the focus to fall on the songs, and Samantha's literate, insightful lyrics. Samantha has a voice that's hard to encapsulate with words. Her talent is timeless and comparable to classic singers like Billie Holiday, Janis Joplin, or Emmylou Harris. She sings so good it'll make your heart ache.

DES ARK "Loose Lips Sink Ships" from Bakery Outlet
BUY LP • $7.50

"Des_ark, on this recording, is a two piece rock band from Durham NC. Aimee plays some of the most kingshit guitar I've ever seen- someone you watch trying to figure out what she's doing to produce the brilliance coming out of her amp while projecting this piercing melody full of deeply commanding sentiment and marching all over the place, all in one fluid movement. Tim anchors with drums that don't compete, but are felt by how hard he calculates the beat. It all drives and pauses and changes direction and then gets to the point. Lucky for us fans Des_ark continues now through Aimee and who knows who in the future, but the chemistry on this record is surely one of the things that makes this quite an important one." --Rich/Bakery Outlet

OLD GROWTH "Old Growth" from Bakery Outlet
BUY LP • $7.50
BUY CD • $8.00

Old Growth write stripped-down, straightforward, sometimes tragic, songs of life, to which John Magnifico (Twelve Hour Turn) brings full chords from his guitar and rediscovers melody in his voice. John'slyrics parallel his songs - simple in form, but revealing an incredible depth of narrative that could easily be overlooked. Old Growth's sound is something like Uncle Tupelo, or Wire's early rock'n'roll numbers. Luke's (Science of Yabra) bass drives in line with Ben's mid-tempo drumming and backing vocals which fill in the right spaces. Ben also adds a few of his own songs, singing up front while nodding to the Ramones or the Stooges. Old Growth plays punk rock'n'roll - taking theirs and others' past to make tradition fresh: "It was childhood living... I won't take it back, I won't erase." - Rich Diem/Bakery Outlet

TEN VOLT SHOCK "Ten Volt Shock" from X-Mist/Bakery Outlet
BUY LP • $7.75
BUY CD • $8.00

Comprised of members of Kurt, Ten Volt Shock's songs are highly energetic and have the unique combination of brute force and intelligence. Inventive drumming and guitar lines, coupled with perhaps the nastiest sounding bass in the western hemisphere = a drag you through the dirt intensity. Plus they are from Germany's Black Forest, which might be one of the toughest sounding places a person could claim as home! This self-titled CD is the first full-length release from the band. "The debut album by Freiburg's finest rockers, including Frank of KURT... and since it's always difficult to describe your own records, let's quote a fine review from the USA: 'Layers of noise flesh out the trebly bass and drums bones of this German noise-hardcore band - while the throaty, semi- distorted screams and harmonic feedback from KURT vocalist/guitarist Frank adds the epidermis. So sure, this sounds a bit like KURT; but its brutality hits like a hammer instead of a midnight intruder!" -- X-Mist

TOBEY, ERIN "Erin Tobey" from Bakery Outlet/Plan-It-X
BUY LP • $7.50
BUY CD • $5.75

Now available on LAVENDER vinyl!! "If I were to describe Erin's music like a white coat wearing professor of musicology, I would say that the she creates songs that are sometimes beautiful, shy and fragile, and at other times are self-assured, powerful declarations on what it is to be alive. Erin does a great job conveying the emotion of love through well thought lyrics, and sparse, almost ghostly instrumentation. For the most part, the recording is just a space-echoed voice, and a cleanly fingerpicked Danelectro guitar. But Erin adds many subtle touches like air organs, ukeleles, and the occasional sound of a distant, marching snare drum. Also, Rich Diem of Twelve Hour Turn plays slide guitar, and contributes a little singing to the album. People might know of Erin from her other bands, Abe Froman and Mt. Gigantic, or perhaps from Here It Is zine. She is a very talented person in art, music, and in life. I wish the best for Erin, and I hope that everyone loves this album as much as I do." --Lenny Rutland (Bakery Outlet Records)

VERDE "The Undeserved Current" from Bakery Outlet
BUY CD • $8.00

Verde is the musical project of Neptune Beach, Florida's Sean Mahan. Sean has been scattering his handprints all over underground music since the late '90s via paintings which have graced album covers by bands such as Floor, Planes Mistaken for Stars, and Twelve Hour Turn. What many people don't know about Sean is that he's equally talented in the aural arts as he is in the visual--and just as hard working and prolific. Recorded at home on 8 track, Verde utilizes voice, keyboard and guitar, recycles drumbeats, culls the talent of friends, and takes funny built-in digital effects and miraculously de-cheeses them. The effect is a highly layered album that is not congested, with each sound conspiring to affect a subtle beauty. It's Verde's innnate sense of selection that pulls the disparate elements together while extracting the best out of each. The Underserved Current is, as Sean puts it, "a surf inspired, fun, indie rock album for both getting stoked and taking it easy." It is an inspiring, relentlessly personal pop record that we are honored to be a part of. Enjoy. For those who appreciate bands such as Galaxy 500, Guided by Voices, or the Magnetic Fields.
