Sailor’s Grave Records – US Bombs – We are the Problem

Self described as a record company created to give birth to the soundtracks of life lived by those black eyes, bad luck, and bad tattoos. Shunning the veneer of pop punk and emo, Sailor’s Grave Records will be devoted to the genres of street punk and bad ass Rock & Roll. Look for new releases in 2006 from US Bombs, The Generators, Angel City Outcasts, Kings of Nuthin’, The Ducky Boys, Far from Finished, Mark Lind, The Welch Boys andmore.

The US Bombs new release “We are the Problem” will be out April 4th, but there is a link to buy the cd here. In the meantime you can download “Locked in my Skin” and buy the new 7″. The band will tour May 15th to June 12th. Hope they come around here but I doubt it. (oh but they sure as fuck did! – updated on 1/31/17)

The Raconteurs

Jack White is excited about his new-school power-pop band, The Raconeurs, with bassist Jack Lawrence and drummer Patrick Keeler (both from Cincinnati’s Greenhornes) and old buddy Brendan Benson. “The Greenhornes would totally stay at my house when they came to Detroit — we’ve done lots of jamming over the years, and we’d recorded 45s together,” says White. Benson and White had long discussed the idea of making a record together, White tells us, “but then we said, ‘Let’s start a new band!'” The first song they wrote together is “Steady, As She Goes,” which kicks off their new album, Broken Boy Soldiers. “We’re definitely touring,” says White. “The album is coming out in May, but I wish it was coming out next week.”

Smashing Pumpkins

Many rumors have been floating around that the Pumpkins would reunite with all new material but it may actually be true since Billy Corgan and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin have signed on with Azoff Management as the “Smashing Pumpkins”. Also Melissa Auf Der Maur recently told MTV that “Billy will be making a new Pumpkins album of the next little while.”

It would be nice to see them come out with something in the Gish vein.
