Hello punkrockers! I hope you all had an amazing Christmas holiday! Thank you so much for the support you showed throughout 2024—it’s the driving force that keeps me going after 13 years, more convinced and determined than ever that I’m on the right path!
That’s why 2025 will bring many new releases, really important and, in my opinion, super cool! Let me start by introducing the first two.
The first one is actually a reissue: the 7″ Collection by the Beatnik Termites, which I originally pressed for their European tour with my Ratbones back in 2022. Needless to say, it sold out in no time, and given the ongoing demand, I thought a reissue was absolutely necessary before Discogs prices started skyrocketing to crazy levels.
The second record is the debut 7″ from the Spanish band The Crummies. I’ve talked about them extensively on social media, but it’s worth mentioning them here in the newsletter too. They’re a trio from Oviedo with a pedigree that commands respect—if you’re familiar with the Spanish scene, names like Fast Food, Pantones, and Feedbacks speak for themselves.
So, what can you expect from them? Nothing simpler and better than some pure ramonescore, just the way I like it: no frills, direct, and melodic.
Beatnik Termites – 7″ Collection (CD)
Reputedly a personal fave of Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain, according to his post-mortem released diaries, Beatnik Termites don’t need any presentation.
During their career they released many 7″s and have been part of several compilations. So why don’t collect all the best tracks in a confort and useful digipak cd compilation?
So here we are with Collection 7″ a brand new release from I Buy Records Fiend Club!
Special Thanks to Mr Gumbo at NEON BONE for the artwork.
This is the 2nd press.
