Warren James

Tales From Film City

Warren James are James Kirk (Orange Juice) & Warren McIntyre (Starry Skies), joined for live outings by Hal on bass and Michael (V-Twin/1990s) on drums.

James Kirk is a founding member of Glaswegian indie legends Orange Juice with his jangly, melodic guitar riffs (he also wrote their jangletastic song 'Felicity'). A few months ago his old bandmate Edwyn Collins asked him, alongside original Orange Juice drummer Steven Daly, to join him for a sorta OJ reunion on his farewell shows in Glasgow and London.

Warren McIntyre is the singer in the 7-piece Starry Skies. He has performed live across Europe - including at Paris's famous 'Caveau de la Huchette' and the Prague Opera Hall - and in New York's East Village. Starry Skies melody driven songs have found an audience on over 100 radio shows worldwide - including New York's WFMU.

James and Warren recently joined forces after being asked to play the opening of the exhibition 'Christmas Day Down A Goldmine: A New Seam' by artist Willie Sutherland and then at Glas-Goes Pop, in 2022. They have become a prolific songwriting duo since then and their first single, limited edition double AA side Miss Green Tea / Costa del Culzean, was featured on both Scottish Radio and 6Music.

'Tales From Film City' was mostly recorded in the songwriting / recording studio they have established in Glasgow's Film City in Govan - the same place where Franz Ferdinand recorded their debut. The album also features input from Gerard Love (ex-Teenage Fanclub) and Chris Geddes (Belle & Sebastian), amongst others.

The Guy Hamper Trio Feat. James Taylor

Taulkinham, Tennessee / 'A Surprise To You, No Surprise To Me

The Guy Hamper Trio was formed by Billy Childish, after a chat with his friend James Taylor. Billy and James had played respectively in The Milkshakes and The Prisoners, often sharing the same bill in the early 80's, leading to Billy's blues ensemble The Natural Born Lovers being the support act for the early shows of The James Taylor Quartet.

The Guy Hamper Trio is: Billy Childish (a.k.a. Guy Hamper) on guitar, his wife Julie on bass and Wolf on drums - who as it happens was the drummer in the original incarnation of JTQ - and of course features James Taylor on Hammond organ. The Guy Hamper Trio provide a bottom end, Blues-influenced instrumental mayhem for those unafraid of dirt, germs and true grime. With no particular wish other than to be recognised as the best at playing badly, they refuse to obey the usual rules of combat and music.

On this very record we have 'Taulkinham, Tennessee' on Face A, with 'A Surprise To You, No Surprise To Me' on Face B. Once again, after consultation with experts in the field, it was decreed that for the enjoyment of Mods, jive experts, lost revellers, and those prone to frequent discotheques, these tracks needed to be on a 7" single and made available throughout England, the UK, Europe, the USA, Timbuktu and indeed Penzance.

Big Lightnin'

Original Sin

Big Lightnin' is 'rock 'n' roll couple' Russell Wilkins (Big Russ Wilkins) and Saskia Holling (Lightnin' Holling), who have over 70 years of musical experience between them and have played, in various guises, in small bars, festivals and clubs across Europe, Japan, Mexico, Alaska, Australia and New Zealand. Russ has played with The Milkshakes, The Wildebeests, The Mindreaders and The Len Bright Combo (with Wreckless Eric and Bruce Brand). Saskia is a former member of Scottish grrrl bands Sally Skull, The Nettelles and Thee Girl Fridays. Together Russ and Saskia play in Lord Rochester, but Big Lightnin' is NOT Lord Rochester..

Recording and performing together as a duo over lockdown (see their viral version of 'Tiger Feet' on YouTube), Russ and Saskia required musical company once allowed out of the house again. They teamed up with Folkestone Freakbeat heroes Lois Tozer and Mole Lambert (The Embrooks, The Dagger Debs, The Galileo 7, The Jack Cades, The Capellas to name but a few bands from this couple's musical CV), to inject big band energy into the Big Lightnin' sound and create this album.

Expect BIG sounds and LIGHTNIN' performances from these four across the UK this summer.

'Original Sin' is an album for all of you sinners out there...The album is a foray into a dark world but with a light, and sometimes humorous, touch. Russ and Saskia 'borrow' original vintage sounds from a few favourite artists - notably Sparks on the petulant 'Bad Boy', P J Harvey on the lust driven 'Circus', The Byrds on the mental breakdown of 'Just A Thought Away', Bobbie Gentry on murder ballad 'Joseph', Johnny Thunders' Heartbreakers on the questioning 'Holy Willie' (inspired by Rabbie Burns) and Lemmy from Motorhead on the paean to being different, 'Cure'.

Love, Burns

Pavement Drawings

Love, Burns is Phil Sutton, founding member of indie pop legends Comet Gain, once also of Velocette and Kicker, and recently lead singer and songwriter for Brooklyn group Pale Lights. Brooklyn resident, extracted from London, England in 2007, Phil Sutton has also played with more groups over the years, including The Projects, Cinema, Red and Blue, and The Soft City. By day, Sutton is a librarian at The New York Public Library.

'Pavement Drawings' is his third album as Love, Burns, and the band on these recordings are Sutton, Kyle Forester (Crystal Stilts, The Ladybug Transistor and solo) on bass, guitar and keyboards, Hannes Mueller (The BVs, once Jetstream Pony) on drums and percussion and Jo Roman (Starcleaner Reunion, and also with Lightheaded, Betty Brite) on vocals, joined by Alicia Jeanine (Jeanines) on violin, for the duet with Jo, 'Love is Like Semaphore'.

'Pavement Drawings' is an album for the Spring. Just a taster, 'Goodnight, Charlie' is a pop song with a Teenage Fanclub-feel in the verse, stomper in the chorus. 'One More Night in the Park' is a Creation era Felt meets Yo La Tengo pop song. 'Wallflower' is a classic bitter-sweet indie pop song with a hook. 'Love is Like Semaphore' is an indie Baroque pop duet with Jo Roman. 'Baby, Don't Look Away' is a guitar pop attack on apathy. Also included on this album are alternative versions of July '25's smash hits 'Dear Carol' (classic Comet Gain-style pissed off duet) and 'Drawn Together', this time with Jo Roman sharing vocal duties with Sutton.

Little Storping In The Swuff

Hassle Olympics

Little Storping In The Swuff is a 'psych meets kitchen-sink realism' music combo named after a fictional town from an episode of the cult 60s British TV spy series The Avengers. Initially unveiled in 2023 with their debut album 'Baroque Anxieties', they gained much support across BBC 6 Music (including a session for Riley & Coe) and supportive words in the press, including The Guardian, Shindig! and Bearded Magazine.

Prior to Little Storping In The Swuff, David Goggin was the creative force behind Medway pysch-pop outfit Brigadier Ambrose, once described by Huw Stephens as 'the greatest thing to ever come out of Chatham'. Brigadier Ambrose released a series of 60s psych influenced singles and an album in the late 00s to widespread Radio One, Radio Two and BBC 6 Music airplay, and performed at various festivals like Latitude and with BBC Introducing during that period.

Over ten new tracks, the new album 'Hassle Olympics' celebrates the daily competition of absurd domestic chores to a psychedelic soundtrack. 'Grab Bag' is a musing on an idiot politician taking solace in a packet of crisps, beamed in from 1967 UFO Club London; 'Weather Photos' zooms in tightly on problems caused by 1 centimetre of snow and features Bob Collins (The Dentists, Swansea Sound) on 12-string electric guitar; 'Competitive Domestic' one-upmanships on stories told over lunch to Good Morning Good Morning era Beatles; 'Night Sweats' is an indie- pop-bop with a very naked anxiety dream.

Having honed their eccentric live reputation with a series of absurdist happenings, the new album was recorded in the stoically analogue Ranscombe Studios in Kent and co-produced with Jim Riley.

Wild Billy Childish & The North Kent Folkways Revival

House Of The Rising Sun / Black Girl

Wild Billy Childish & The North Kent Folkways Revival formed through the long-term partnership between Billy Childish and The Singing Loins. Billy recorded The Singing Loins first album live in his bathroom over 30 years ago. Following on from the first 7" from Wild Billy Childish & the North Kent Folkways Revival (sometimes titled NKFWR), ‘Medway Wheelers’ via Squoodge Records, their first two albums were released on Hangman Records in 2024.

Juju Claudius takes lead vocals on these two incredible takes. With the audacious ‘House Of Rising Sun’ set to be recognised as the premier female rendition. Note: Julie (Juju to her family), is American of mixed race descent.

This record is for the jukeboxes in milk parlours throughout the land, and a cherished 45 for the record sessions around the Dansette.

Thee Headcoats & Thee Headcoatees

Jim Bowie / As The Broken Tree Begins To Fall

Thee Headcoats are Billy Childish (guitar and vocals), Bruce Brand (drums and backing vocals) and Johnny 'Tub' Johnson (bass). Billy and Bruce started playing together in The Pop Rivets in 1977. Here we see them still playing together in Thee Headcoats. Hailed as 'the undesputed Kings of Garage Rock' in the New York Times, Thee Headcoats released over 20 LPs between 1989-2000. In 2023, they picked up where they left off and once more provide the poor listener with maximum drums and racket.

Thee Headcoatees were initially formed as a backing group for Thee Headcoats, with members Holly Golightly, Kyra LaRubia, Ludella Black and "Bongo" Debbie Green taking to the boards. Soon this developed into Thee Headcoatees joining the boys at the end of their set for a rhythm and beat knees up featuring the girls on vocals. Their debut album 'Girlsville' was cut In 1991 (Hangman Records). It consisted of original songs written by Billy Childish, and covers by The Kinks (Last Plane Home), The Beatles (Run For Your Life), The Tamrons (Wild Man) and many more.

Fast forward to 2025, and both Thee Headcoats and Thee Headcoatees were at it again releasing an LP a piece on Damaged Goods Records. And here, from the goodness of their hearts, this top 45 for Spinout Nuggets. Here we have a split 7" record from Thee Headcoats and Thee Headcoatees, featuring two unreleased tracks. Thee Headcoats' 'Jim Bowie' takes Face A, with Thee Headcoatees supplying cat calls. Face B houses Thee Headcoatees' 'As The Broken Tree Begins To Fall', with head girl Ludella Black on lead vocals.

Big Boss Man

Join The Jet Set

Boss Man's music may sound familiar to you, being regularly played on film and television, including Come Dine With Me, Strictly Come Dancing and I Used To Be Famous, and broadcast on BBC Radio, by presenters including Gideon Coe, Cerys Matthews and Craig Charles. Not just that, but previous tracks have been used by Nike and The Mighty Boosh, and their official remix of Modfather Paul Weller's single 'The Bottle' went straight in to the UK Top 20, and fast became a collector's item. New album, 'Join The Jet Set' is ready to be unleashed to the groovy masses.

On Join The Jet Set, the band blends Hammond organ grooves, mod jazz, funk, and a dash of exotica into a tightly produced instrumental package. The organ work is front and center, dripping with swagger and groove, while the rhythm section keeps things punchy and propulsive. There’s a cinematic quality throughout—many tracks feel like they could slot straight into a lost soundtrack for a heist or espionage flick.

If slick, stylish retro Hammond grooves are your thing, you'll love this!

The Guy Hamper Trio Ft James Taylor

Come My Way

The Guy Hamper Trio is: Billy Childish (a.k.a. Guy Hamper) on guitar, his wife Julie on bass and Wolf on drums - who as it happens was the drummer in the original incarnation of JTQ - and of course features James Taylor on Hammond organ.

5 Miles To Jerome

The Guy Hamper Trio is: Billy Childish (a.k.a. Guy Hamper) on guitar, his wife Julie on bass and Wolf on drums - who as it happens was the drummer in the original incarnation of JTQ - and of course features James Taylor on Hammond organ. Here we have twelve fine songs of bottom end, blues-influenced instrumental mayhem, with something bold, something new, something borrowed, something blues! 

The Masonics

You Can Tell, It's...

The Masonics are the Kings Of Medway Beat, known for being 'the best Rhythm and Beat combo since The Milkshakes', and there's a very good reason for that...With Mickey Hampshire (The Milkshakes, Mickey And The Salty Seadogs, Mickey And Ludella, Mick Hampshire), Bruce Brand (The Pop Rivets, The Milkshakes, Auntie Vegetable, Thee Headcoats, The Kravin' "A"s, The Clique, Dutronc, The Voo-Dooms and more) and John Gibbs (The Wildebeests, The Kaisers), this Medway-based trio fire rhythm 'n' beat and rock 'n' roll! 

The High Span

Blithering

The High Span provide a strange and special blend of DIY post-pop jangle and edgier experimental sounds, of lyric-driven guitar-indie and a bit of English awkwardness. Based in Rochester, Kent, the quartet formed around the songwriting of Kevin Younger (Subway Sect, Ye Ascoyne d'Ascoynes, Baby Birkin, The Speed of Sound and others), with fellow Medway music veteran Mark Aitken (of Ye Ascoyne d'Ascoynes, The Men From Memphis, Bob Collins & The Full Nelson, These Guilty Men and others) and expat Nova Scotian James Moore (of Pod, One Free Fall and revered Canadian alt-rockers Rusty), joined by backing vocalist Sarah Post.

The High Span unleashed their 'Quirky Miniboss Squad' EP in August of 2020 (yeah, that year), and managed to grab attention from press and public alike, selected as one of Record Collector's singles of the year, as did their debut, self-titled album in 2023. This new album allows The High Span to continue their edgier experimental sounds. The songs range lyrically from lost-love trauma (Phantom Limb) and weird recurring dreams (Ambrosine), to the anarchist scares of late 19th-century Paris (Superintendent Baeker). The band covering the Velvet Monkeys' 1981 US psych-punk stormer 'Everything Is Right' also seems very much right. Are you blithering?

The Singing Loins

Camber '87

The Singing Loins started as a stripped-down acoustic duo in 1990/91, with the aim of writing honest, bare songs, outside of any particular style, coining the phrase 'Authentic Raw Folk from the Medway Delta'. Their first two albums were recorded with Billy Childish and released on his Hangman Records. Twelve years, and five or six albums later, they added banjo/mandolin/accordion, and hooked up with Damaged Goods Records and released another four or five records (depends who's counting). With a huge fanbase in both Medway and Serbia, but pretty much unknown elsewhere, and plenty of acclaimed shows both home and abroad later, they called it a day in 2013, returning briefly in 2019 to record what turned out to be their swansong, '13 Moon Songs from Merry Hell'.

The group's singer, Chris Broderick, sadly passed away in early 2022, having let Arf know that he wanted the others to carry on The Singing Loins' name, at which point Arf and Rob got together with Billy Childish again to write and record 'The Fighting Temeraire' album, dedicated to Brod's memory. In parallel with that, The Singing Loins added fiddle/drums/electric/bass, and in 2024 released another long player, 'Twelve', through Damaged Goods Records; a sort of 'best of' of the lo-fi years, remodelled and re-purposed for the new line-up.

Currently, as well as gigging regularly as The Singing Loins, they also moonlight with Billy Childish as The North Kent Folkways Revival, who have collectively recorded another three albums, and also played a Riley & Coe BBC 6 Music session. This new mini-album, 'Camber '87', is a further progression. The lead track, 'Teeth & Eyes', is a new song; a pox-marked beauty. The other five are revisited versions of lo-fi original oldies, twisted and adapted to the new sound and line-up.

Nervous Twitch

The Day Job Gets In The Way

Nervous Twitch are a group who somehow manage to perfectly blend Punk with IndiePop. Based in Leeds, UK, the trio are self-confessed song writing addicts, and have captured their infectious powerful pop on five albums and three 7" singles, since 2013, plus various EPs and compilations. They bring a sparky, energetic live show and boast a rich touring history; from hosting all-dayers in their hometown of Leeds, exploring the lengths of the UK, USA and Europe, and grabbing a Marc Riley BBC Radio 6 session, plus notable supports for icons such as The Darling Buds, The Rezillos, The Meteors and Shonen Knife along the way.

It's time for album number six! The 9-5 grind, dreaded night shift, awkward customers or demanding bosses; album number six certainly shows the world that Nervous Twitch never let the day job get in the way. This new album showcases their flavour of first-wave CBGBs punk meets scuzzy C-86pop; singing tales of joy and feelings of frustration, with sharp character observations.

The 5.6.7.8's Feat Miss Ludella Black

Beat Girls EP

The 5.6.7.8's are a Japanese rock band from Tokyo with a sound that draws heavily from 1960s Garage Rock, Rock'n'Roll, Surf, Rockabilly, Punk Rock, Psychobilly and Beat. They formed when Sachiko and Yoshiko "Ronnie" Fujiyama, two sisters from Tokyo who both shared a passion for rock and roll, founded the band in 1986 with two other members.

After several line-up changes (including the bassist Yoshiko "Yama" Yamaguchi, who was the bassist featured in the Kill Bill movie), the band eventually became a trio. Yoshiko and Sachiko are still the main components in the band, and now Akiko Omo has rejoined the band as the bass guitarist (she originally joined The 5.6.7.8's in the early 1990s).

The 5.6.7.8's and Miss Ludella Black (The Delmonas, Thee Headcoatees) have been friends for longer then they can remember, the band having a keen interest in the music from Medway, UK. Sharing stages throughout the years, across the land, in 2022, The 5.6.7.8's were joined by The Masonics on their five-night UK tour, with Miss Ludella Black joining both groups onstage too.

During The 5.6.7.8's eight-night UK tour in 2024, not only did Miss Ludella Black join the band onstage at London's 229 venue, but they also booked into Medway's Ranscombe Studios to record four of their fave hits.

This four-track 7" EP includes covers of The Pretty Things' 'Come See Me', Ray Charles' 'What I'd Say', John Barry's 'Beat Girl' and The Pretenders’ 'Kid'. Released in time for The 5.6.7.8's tour of France and Spain in October 2025, where they will play for thirteen nights!

I-nichi

I-nichi

i-nichi is Tokyo-based singer and songwriter Seiko Nemoto, with UK-based accomplished musicians Billy Shinbone, Philip Collings and Ben Scott Turner joining her to form a full band.

Seiko had previously come to the attention of UK audiences when her band Dai-Nichi supported The Chesterfields on tour in 2019, including a fantastic response at London's 100 Club, an experience Seiko could never have predicted when she started following The Chesterfields around the UK in the late 1980s when living in London.

Seiko’s unique take on songwriting, coupled with a love of Captain Beefheart, Gang of Four, Devo and early UK prog rock has manifested itself previously in a limited edition 7 inch single, titled ‘Mimiko’, released in May ’24, with the help of Philip Collings in the studio, and Simon Barber (The Chesterfields) in observation mode.

Now with added Billy Shinbone (Neville Staples Band, The Sinclairs, etc) on guitar and vocals, Philip Collings on bass guitar and Ben Scott Turner on drums, Seiko’s i-nichi has formed into a full band, for gigs and further recordings. With more stints in the studio, a further eleven tracks have been recorded, including three written though Seiko’s previous band, and two covers, with Seiko taking up the biggest writing credit. Produced and engineered by Ben Scott Turner at Axe & Trap Studio in Wells, Somerset, whilst observed by Simon Barber (The Chesterfields), i-nichi’s debut album is bound to cause a stir.

Cream Soda

Serving You

Cream Soda are a trio of late teens hailing from the Medway Delta, offering Punk Rocked Power Pop, fused with 60s Freakbeat and Garage, as well as the late 80s indie stuff.

Respecting the past, with eyes firmly on the road ahead, they echo the classic Medway sound, respecting The Prisoners and Thee Milkshakes, whilst also incorporating more recent influences, along with their very own sound.

The idea behind Cream Soda started in late October of 2023 when both the Toms, accompanied by one of Tom Page’s mates on bass, started playing original material in various garages after becoming acquainted through Music GCSE at Rainham Mark Grammar School, Medway. Due to creative disagreements, the bass player left and Jack - another one of Tom Page’s mates joined the band; a guitarist by trade but was happy to pick up the four-stringed instrument.

Playing their first gig on 1st December 2023, Cream Soda have played throughout Kent, London and the South East since then, sometimes supporting The Masonics and The Len Price 3, and continue to make noise on stages wherever they can.

The group released a very short run lathe cut 7" in December 2024, with only twenty copies; they naturally sold in a click. A four-track 7" EP, 'Make Up Your Mind', soon followed, to much acclaim.

With the fire still burning very bright, they booked themselves back into Ranscombe Studios, and recorded a further ten tracks to battle up a full length album for release, with a little help from Zach Moon too. ‘Serving You’ provides fifteen of Cream Soda’s best bits!

Delicious Patricia

Mordros - The Sound Of The Surf

Delicious Patricia are a trio who dig and play the combined Instrumental, Surf and Garage sound of yesteryear, often introducing it to the sound of today, and tomorrow too!

Delicious Patricia was the fevered dream brainchild of drummer Rob Smith, who, after years of playing in rock covers bands got an appetite for something else; a surf band! An ad found Simon Trundle (previously The Palominos) for shred guitar, and Tony O'Rourke (previously The Strookas) on bottom end bass.

Mordros - Cornish for 'the sound of the surf' is the debut album. It features fifteen tracks, seven of which are originals written by the band, with six covers with a twist.

Side One kicks off with 'Penetration' (The Pyramids) leading you on to 'Surfgasm' one of the bands own tunes. Some cleverly arranged TV and film theme covers follow with a version of label stablemate, Billy Childish's 'Poka Hontas' (featuring The Del Pats on vocals), sandwiched in between. Onto another of the band's own tunes 'Crashing Wave' before a nice bit of Dutch surf in the form of Focus' 'Hocus Pocus', ending with the mellow beach sounds of 'Moe-uhana', Hawaiian for soul sleep.

Side Two kicks off with sirens, shouting and warnings of getting 'Caught In A Rip', another of Delicious Patricia's own work. Surf's up with a cover of the 'White Horses' theme, the boys give us their version of Kraftwerk's 'The Model'. The band then hit you with two of their own, telling us that 'Patricia Don't Surf' and it's also 'Patricia's Last Wave'. There is a wiener in-between those two majestic buns, with a cool cover of The Astronauts' 'Hot Doggin'. The album then reaches its climax with a tune honouring Newquay's most famous wave 'The Cribbar'.

Comet Gain

Tickets To The Underneath EP

Over 30 years ago a secret cabal of rosicrucian dadaist anarchist magicians that had existed in the shadows of society for hundreds of years decided to spread their message through this groovy 'pop music' thing in order to reach the 'kids' and thus formed the organism known as Comet Gain.

Through a rigorous process of pulling names from a MAGICAL hat - it was thought that the best way to disseminate these esoteric messages was through the 45 seven inch record, and use a mixture of different cult musical forms to hopefully ensnare more youths - thus Indie Pop/Garage Punk/Northern Soul/Psychedelic Mod/Folk Rock etc were the templates best delivered.

Over the years the membership changed as 'musicians' either 'ascended' or mysteriously disappeared, but original member David Christian Feck (his real name is unknown) has remained.

This four-track 7" EP also features occasional traveller John McKeown (also known for his creations Yummy Fur/1990s/Trans etc), and current long-standing member Anne-Laure Guillain.

This most recent transmission from the 'cult' (even the band have no idea how many singles they've made, but its probably more than The Beatles, although slightly less successful) is largely songs considered for their new hit LP 'Letters To Ordinary Outsiders' (out now on Tapete Records), but due to that bloody magical hat again didn't make it, despite certain people saying 'but they're better songs you div!'.

There's also a new song that hatched out of a dream about cult American sci-fi/not sc-fi angry beatnik punk author Harlan Ellisson.

These songs vibrate with who gives a f***" energy as the cult organisation allowed the group to do as they wilt for one record. The fine fellows at Spinout Nuggets outbid all the other big labels at the big auction thing and will surely reap the rewards as these bullets of golden year melody and vibrant visceral OH YEAH! hit the top of the pops for all ages-lucky you to have this opportunity to be able to purchase this once in a lifetime slice of fabtitude.

The Guy Hamper Trio Feat. James Taylor

Mary Mary / Type 2 Error

The Guy Hamper Trio was formed by Billy Childish, after a chat with his friend James Taylor (Hammond organ). Billy and James had played respectively in The Milkshakes and The Prisoners, often sharing the same bill in the early 80's, leading to Billy's blues ensemble The Natural Born Lovers being the support act for the early shows of The James Taylor Quartet.

The Guy Hamper Trio is: Billy Childish on guitar, his wife Julie on bass and Wolf on drums - who as it happens was the drummer in the original incarnation of JTQ - and of course features James Taylor on Hammond organ. The Guy Hamper Trio provide a bottom end, Blues-influenced instrumental mayhem for those unafraid of dirt, germs and true grime. With no particular wish other than to be recognised as the best at playing badly, they refuse to obey the usual rules of combat and music.

Their first 45 (Polygraph Test / Sally Sensation) was released in 2009, followed by a full-length studio album, 'All The Poisons In The Mud', appearing, as if by magic, in 2022, followed by six 7" singles (via Damaged Goods and Spinout Nuggets), and also four further full-length albums.

This handsome record includes 'Mary Mary' on the opening face, with Face B including 'Type 2 Error'. Once again, after consultation with experts in the field, it was decreed that for the enjoyment of Mods, jive experts, lost revellers, and those prone to frequent discotheques, these tracks needed to be on a 7" single and made available throughout England, the UK, Europe, the USA, Indonesia and indeed Portsmouth.

The Masonics are the Kings Of Medway Beat, known for being 'the best Rhythm and Beat combo since The Milkshakes', and there's a very good reason for that. With Mickey Hampshire (The Milkshakes, Mickey And The Salty Seadogs, Mickey And Ludella, Mick Hampshire), Bruce Brand (The Pop Rivets, The Milkshakes, Auntie Vegetable, Thee Headcoats, The Kravin' "A"s, The Clique, Dutronc, The Voo-Dooms and more) and John Gibbs (The Wildebeests, The Kaisers), this Medway-based trio fire rhythm 'n' beat and rock 'n' roll!

Since 1991, The Masonics have been raising roofs all across the land, and disturbing audio grooves on at least ten studio albums and eleven singles. There's no stopping them!

During 2022, the group joined The 5.6.7.8's on their five-night UK tour, and then again in October 2023 on a ten-night tour of Japan. Throughout all that, Spinout Nuggets have released three 7" EPs, a first-time-on-vinyl edition of their 'Outside Looking In' album (originally released on CD in 2004), a new studio album (Sursum Tibiam Vestram), and a joint 7" EP with The 5.6.7.8's.

The Masonics triumphantly return to the 7" format with two new extended players, released simultaneously. Following on from the success of the previous two Rock'n'Roll EPs, The Masonics unleash a further two extended players of dancehall fillers.

Jetstream Pony

Bowerbirds And Blue Things

Jetstream Pony combine post-punk, indie-pop and power-pop, featuring Beth Arzy (The Luxembourg Signal/Trembling Blue Stars/Aberdeen) on vocals and percussion, Shaun Charman (The Wedding Present/The Popguns/The Fireworks) on guitar and vocals, Kerry Boettcher (Turbocat) on bass, Tom Levesley on drums, and recently joined by Mark Matthews (The Dentists/The Treasures Of Mexico) on guitar.

Returning with a new full length 'Bowerbirds and Blue Things', the band's evolution continues, and there are branches into new territory. 'The Relativity of Wrong' is driven by heavy bass, a tale of youthful misbehaviour, with guest vocals from Eleni Poulou, formerly of The Fall. 'Tendrils' has a darker presence, sung by Kerry, echoing and ghostly. 'Bonanza 2 Tango Sierra' and 'Look Alive!' both have a driving feel, and the power-pop is still intact with songs like 'Bubblegum Nothingness'. 'Bowerbirds And Blue Things' is a varied album that keeps the underlying Jetstream Pony sound, but with real development.

The Guy Hamper Trio Feat. James Taylor

The Goddess Tree

The Guy Hamper Trio was formed by Billy Childish, after a chat with his friend James Taylor (Hammond organ). Billy and James had played respectively in The Milkshakes and The Prisoners, often sharing the same bill in the early 80's, leading to Billy's blues ensemble The Natural Born Lovers being the support act for the early shows of The James Taylor Quartet.

The Guy Hamper Trio is: Billy Childish on guitar, his wife Julie on bass and Wolf on drums - who as it happens was the drummer in the original incarnation of JTQ - and of course features James Taylor on Hammond organ.

The Guy Hamper Trio provide a bottom end, Blues-influenced instrumental mayhem for those unafraid of dirt, germs and true grime. With no particular wish other than to be recognised as the best at playing badly, they refuse to obey the usual rules of combat and music.

This long playing record proves that The Guy Hamper Trio and James Taylor are a perfect team. The fourth in this ‘series’ of finely crafted compositions, listen out for several tracks also featuring Bash Brand and Tub Johnson as stand in rhythm section (in effect Thee Headcoats). Let’s hope there’s plenty more from the leaders in jazz/pop mayhem!

The Guy Hamper Trio

Chatham's Burning

The Guy Hamper Trio is: Billy Childish on guitar, his wife Julie on bass and Wolf on drums - who as it happens was the drummer in the original incarnation of JTQ - and of course features James Taylor on Hammond organ.

Wild Billy Childish & The Chatham Singers

Step Out!

The Chatham Singers are Billy Childish on Vocals/Guitar, Juju on Vocals/Bass, Wolf Howard on Drums/Percussion and 'Bludy' Jim Riley on Harp. Here we have a full long player, which includes some of the songs from records only available as limited 45's, free at their sell-out shows. some of them recorded by The Hangman Field Recording Unit, and others at Bludy Jim's Ranscombe shack..

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: Not content with just releasing the thousands of great records of his you *can* get on vinyl, Childish is now blessing us with some of the rare 7's from The Chatham Singers project that you may not have heard. Expect attitude, swing and BLUES. Classic Childish.

Wild Billy Childish & The Chatham Singers

Step Out! (alt)

This top notch 7 inch 45 contains two recordings, recorded at Jim Riley’s Ranscombe Studios. An alt version of ‘Step Out’, with Juju taking lead vocals. C/W ‘Upside Mine’ a favourite at the gigs..

Wild Billy Childish & CTMF

Traces Of You

This top 7 inch 45 contains two versions of 'Traces Of You', written and sung by Nurse Julie Hamper. One side being called a demo, the other not. The last word goes to Mister Childish; 'this 45 will almost certainly be much like the way we do things, and hopefully be in accord with the listeners expectations, (dependent on what it is that they expect)'.

The Singing Loins

Jazzy Angels

Chris (Brod) Broderick & Chris (Arf) Allen started The Singing Loins as a stripped-down acoustic duo in 1990, with the aim of writing honest, bare songs, outside of any particular style, coining the phrase 'Authentic Raw Folk from the Medway Delta'. Their first two albums were recorded with Billy Childish and released on Hangman Records.

Thee Headcoats

Leaders Of The Sect

Thee Headcoats are arguably the most famous and influential of the many group incarnations that Billy Childish has formed or performed in since 1977. Cited in the New York Times - back in the day - as 'the undisputed kings of garage rock', Thee Headcoats rule (1989 - 2000) saw them as Childish's most prolific group - up until that time - releasing upwards of eighteen albums and over 45 singles. Thee Headcoats performed their last gig in 2000.

With a 'break' of twenty-two years, Thee Headcoats got together over a weekend earlier this year and recorded a brand new LP, a 45 and an EP. These being released through Damaged Goods Records.

Here, Spinout Nuggets comes into the picture. Having the ear of mister Childish, our executives convinced the Dearstalking Man to allow us access to the original tapes and can now proudly present a 45 from that same great session, allowing the listener an earhole of a 'Bona' alternative version of 'Leader Of The Sect', - complete with 'Round The Horns Sandy and Julian' on the intro (also listen out for Thee Headcoatees on backing vocals).

This is coupled with an unreleased rendition of 'Paralysed By The Mountains'. Our advice: don't hang about if you want this classic piece of wax spinning on your turntable, as Thee Headcoats' 45s don't go stale on the shelf. The Kids might be all Square, but this is HIP!

Both were big fans of the 60s American garage bands and wanted to put a band together to preach the gospel according to 'Pebbles'. Subconsciously the bands name was taken from a Robyn Hitchcock song.

William Loveday Intention

Sex And Flys

Wild Billy Childish has been recording and performing since the 1977 punk explosion. The Pop Rivets, Thee Milkshakes, The Headcoats and The Buff Medways are just a few musical outfits that Billy has been involved with. Billy is also an internationally exhibited artist and poet. The William Loveday Intention is the latest incarnation. The groups name can be attributed to Billy's grandmother, Ivy Loveday, who registered his birth as William Ivy Loveday, with William being his great grandfather's name. The 'intention' of The William Loveday group was to revisit some early tunes which Billy had imagined could be orchestrated. This was the beginning of a 'career in a year' with over 14 LPs being recorded during the lockdown period at Jim Riley's Ranscombe Studios.


Side A's 'Sex And Flys' is a complete make-over of the original Rhythm 'n' Punk track previously recorded by Thee Headcoats (which can be found on the 1996 long player 'In Tweed We Trust'). Side B's 'Becoming Unbecoming Me (Slight Return)' recounts the true-life story of a Jewish girls change of identity in war-time Venice to escape the death camps.
