A crashing 9 piece orchestra of Mariachi brass, dueling drums, surf guitar and girl-boy vocals, The Bookhouse Boys burst forth from the bars and clubs of North London, with a pair of 7" singles earlier this year. Mixed by Head (PJ Harvey, Archie Bronson Outfit, Thom Yorke) their eponymously titled debut album is released on 18th August on Black Records.
An unruly bar band of artisans, punks and east end rogues, their music is that of violent redemption and salvation, wrapped in the soundscapes of Ennio Morricone and prosecuted with the sinister zeal of Queens Of The Stone Age and The Pixies. It inspires a unifying euphoria, embodied by the bloodied surf rock of Dead, Tonight and new single I Can't Help Myself, the sinister creep of The Valley and Shoot You Down, and the all embracing quasi-evangelical, Baby I Gotta Go and I Believe.
Twice Steve Lamacq's 'Record Of The Week' at 6Music, their singles have revealed an exhilarating stampede of surf guitar and searing horns, y  |

WLIB AM:King of the Wigflip marks the end of an era. “As Dirty Harry said, ‘a man has to realize his limitations’” is how Barely Breaking Even (BBE) co-founder and current label head Peter Adarkwah explains the successful Beat Generation series coming to a close. “Evolution is key to all survival.”
And few artists represent such evolution like Madlib The Beat Konducta. The Oxnard, California native has become what writer Amiri Baraka (nee Leroi Jones) once referred to jazz immortal John Coltrane as – “a more fixed traveler…a peace idiom, and time, placement of himself.” Madlib is a fitting piece in the Beat Generation puzzle, which has run the spectrum of top-flight producers with legends (Marley Marl, Pete Rock, Jazzy Jeff), young lions (DJ Spinna, King Britt, Will.I.Am), and the incomparable Jay Dee aka J Dilla, whose Welcome to Detroit was the first artist album to be commissioned by BBE.
But Dilla was not the first artist to be considered by the label for its inaugural Be |

BLACK SHEEP WALL set to release debut album ‘I Am God Songs’ on Shelmusic, October 20th/ UK Nov tour with Mirimar Disaster and Latitudes
‘After typing "Black Sheep Wall", Brian was able to see the entire map, including the zergling rush about to devour his army.’
George Carlin once wrote, "I like young people, they're all f***ed up", and while healthy, young, introspective, pot smoking college students they may be, BLACK SHEEP WALL, who are now set to release debut album ‘I Am God Songs’ on Shelmusic, October 20th (with a UK Nov tour with Mirimar Disaster and Latitudes to come afterwards), echoes and expresses the sentiment.
