Bruised Tongue/Rock n’ Roll Pizza Party Showcase TOMORROW

It’s been a long wait, but the date is finally getting close. Very close. We’re proud to be teaming up with our RRPP buds to kick off the Ottawa Explosion Weekend with a bang. That means free pizza from them, free tapes from us. DJ Craig Peru & DJ B-RAD will be spinning weirdo punk rippers between KNIFEMARE, MANNEQUIN, MALE NURSE, HOLY COBRAS, DEMON’S CLAWS, and the VISITORS.

The show will also serve as a dual release show for Knifemare and Mannequin’s much anticipated split C30, as well as Vol.1 of the Bruised Tongue Afterburners compilation we’ve been slaving away on. More info on that to come, and we’ll post it for download super soon. If there’s still copies left after the weekend, the next few mailorders will be padded out with one of these 15-track C60s.

Andy Boay – Born To Fully

andyboay So this bad boy is out in the wild! Super proud of how it all came out and honoured to work with Andy! True Gentleman!

First review comes from Austrailia/New Zealand’s Rose Quartz blog:

Typically soaring overdubs, guitar wails and just generally fucking weird energy on this new tape from Andy Boay aka Andy White of longtime RQ favs Tonstartssbandht. This dense closer from the Bruised Tongue tape summons all those eternally jamming Creedence licks from their live show as well as the choir boy spirituality shit. Also FYI Tonstarssbandht are playing w/ Grimes and Makeout Videotape in Montreal next week if that’s yr area; tickets here.

More from Altered Zones / Visitation Rites:

“Own Myn Own” is a track from Born to Fully, the first solo tape from Andy Boay, who is one of the brothers behind Tonstartssbandht. If you’re familiar with the latter project, the mantric guitar lines on this song should come as no surprise. Without Tonstartssbandht’s signature pulsing drum thumps, however, “Own Myn Own” skips your hips and goes straight to your head. The video’s heavy chroma key aesthetics evoke television musical performances from the height of the psychedelic era. –Samantha Cornwell

Red Mass- Sadness OUT NOW / Mess Folk- Bruised Tongue saLIVEa Series Vol.1 OUT SOON

The newest cassette from Montreal Voodoo Punk Masters, Red Mass sees Choyce and co. delving into some of their darkest territory to date perfectly balanced with some head-banging stompers just to keep us on our toes. Sadness is 7 tracks spanning 30 minutes, covering everything from evil goth-psych, to feedback-ridden blackmetal soliloquies and freak-folk tinges, all capped off with one hell of a rockabilly freakout featuring the master of howlin’ bigbeat disaster himself, Bloodshot Bill.

Limited to 100 C30s in clear Red cases with digital download. Available from us ($7 ppd to info@bruisedtongue.com), at The Record Shaap in Ottawa and from Red Mass on their current tour.

Catch Red Mass on tour NOW and at Gonerfest 7 on Saturday.

We’re just ironing wrapping up the final details for Vol. 1 of the Bruised Tongue saLIVEa Series. The first release in this live tape series will be from Sydney, Nova Scotia tar-punks Mess Folk . More details TBA shortly.
