***Finally a proper synth punk band! Philly’s SGNLS follow in the tradition of bands like The Units rather than bands that are merely labeled “punk” by the distinction that they cannot play their synths properly. Live they are capable of synth heavy freakouts not dissimilar from Hawkwind or Heldon, whereas on record they reel it in a bit and show us some real solid songs that should appeal to fans of everything ranging from The Screamers to The Big Boys. Limited to 200 copies and comes with a fold out poster.

***Twisted and creepy beat driven minimal synth electro. YOU. are a Brooklyn (via Detroit) duo whose debut 12" EP sometimes brings to mind the stranger side of early Belgian electronic music (think Bene Gesserit) or Detroit techo heroes Drexciya but with an attitude that's totally punk! You'd be a fool to miss this one.
12" $12.25
