All Music Guide says:
…sounds like it was recorded 35 years ago: the tapes were mastered directly to vinyl, which was used as the master recording for the CD release. So there’s a warmth and thickness to the sound that complements perfectly, for example, the elastic rocksteady rhythm of “Dillinger” and the glistening guitars and one-drop thump of “Belle Star.” If you liked this band’s first five albums, you’ll love this one — and you’ll almost certainly love their next five albums as well. Each release finds them digging deeper and deeper into the very same groove. And good for them. One can only hope that the “Volume 1″ in the title suggests a dubwise companion to this album in the near future.
Check out this video clip of 10 Ft. in the studio recording their album!
“The concept for the Pi video came to me the same way my songs normally do: IN A VISION FROM GOD! So I wrote down the vision as a video treatment, and then, after reading it, God sent me an estimate for how much it should cost: $110.”
The video is dedicated to the late music British journalist Steven Wells, who while writing for the Philadelphia Weekly challenged the band to make a video.

23. “Too Many Creeps,” Bush Tetras, 1980
It’s natural, after living in an urban environment for a while, to begin to loathe humanity. These jaded, stylish post-punk babes wrote the ultimate angular anthem to blast as you hightail it upstate for a weekend spent with nobody.
Watch the video for “Too Many Creeps” below. You can find both the video and the song on the Bush Tetra’s latest album, Very Very Happy.

Philly City Paper says: Univox's crusty power-driven pop, which incorporates the noisily melodic elements of Sonic Youth with the frenetic splintered pace of The Stooges and a touch of Motown swing, is easily imaginable coming from car windows on a summer's night. Read more...
Christian Marclay’s Graffiti Composition is the live recording of a one-time performance at the Museum of Modern Art, New York in 2006. Led by Elliott Sharp, it features five world-renowned guitar players-Melvin Gibbs, Mary Halvorson, Lee Ranaldo, Vernon Reid, and Sharp. Read more...
“In Monstrous Attitude” is Dufus’ third album with ROIR, is mixed by Shimmy Disc's Kramer and barely contained in a colossal 12 panel Digipak with comic book art by anti-folk hero, Jeffrey Lewis (Rough Trade) Read more...
Frontman Edward Ka-Spel and his crew capture the listener’s imagination with lush and haunting songs. Plutonium Blonde is more than just an album; it’s an aural and visual treat, a collection of stories that could have very well been written by a modern day Brothers Grimm. Read more...
IMPOSE MAGAZINE says: This wigged-out, cleverly-named Nashville trio must have been on some kind of collective bender when they recorded this zinger of an album, because they got some kind of “lightning in a bottle” shit going on here the likes of which you don’t roll into all that often.
It’s a soulful, greasy, howlin’ whiteboy kind of rant-rock that’s even greater than the sum of all its crazy parts, a frantic, no-holds-barred, “fuck the rules” kind of album that we desperately need right now. Read more...
A long awaited re-issue on vinyl & CD of the celebrated ROIR cassette, this is more than just a record; it’s a piece of NYC punk history. “Loud Fast Rules!” captures the band doing what they do best, playing a sharp, fast, energetic live set of catchy, feisty songs that mix punk with metal, reggae and good old fashioned rock ‘n’ roll. A perfect soundtrack to a slam dancing, pit slamming, pogo party! Read more...
After more than 25 years, the Legendary Pink Dots continue to make compelling new music that is demanded by fans and maintains the high level of quality that set their careers in motion. Their new album finds the band in familiar territory; pulsing Krautrock, dark and sinister pop and epic post-industrial soundscapes. The album invites the listener to put on head phones, close their eyes and embark on a technicolor journey. US/Canada tour in October. Read more...
Darryl Jenifer returns to ROIR, home to the Bad Brains’ legendary debut album, to release his solo debut. “In Search of Black Judas” blasts off with hardcore riffs and monstrous grooves, delivered with classic Bad Brains fire and fury and the quickness to shift into downtempo reggae passages. It’s a heady and intoxicating mix of sounds that continues a quest for innovation and soulful vibes, anchored by Jenifer’s rock steady lines. Read more...
