San Francisco's last and only rock and roll band THE OKMONIKS has teamed up with Slovenly Recordings for “Afterparty Fever!!!” Here are nine new houserockin’ woman led punk rock’n’roll blasts that capture the essence of a party that just don’t stop. This particular all-nighter was recorded live in a small room, and you can tell from the screams, handclaps, and peals of laughter that this 17 minute end result was produced in a gloriously boisterous session. “Afterparty Fever!!!” captures the girls-to-the-front, make-room-for-dancing, leave-'em-wanting-more live show they've been dishing out for freaks world-wide for the past two decades. The OKs are fronted by Helene 33 on vox, simultaneously playing impossible sounding, finger stretching 60s Ace Tone Top 5 organ tones while tossing it around like a toy… It must be seen to be believed, and a believer you shall be! The Okmoniks recorded and produced every song on this album, and wrote them all with the forgivable exception of one cover by Tucson 60s punk outfit The Grodes. “Afterparty Fever!!!” sounds like a band in 1977 doing their favorite 1966 stompers: devastating dancers like “Don't Wanna See You No More” and “I'll Let You In” could fit comfortably in a John Waters teen shimmy montage, giving way to rockers like “He Left the Party with Me” and “Summer Break Up” that could serve as the captions for a comic panel in “Punk” Magazine.

Slovenly Recordings presents Carbondale’s creepiest blood suckers PET MOSQUITO and their “Pre Apocalypse Motorcycle Music” EP, recorded to four track at the “historical” Lost Cross house. Pet Mosquito’s blistering take on Midwestern garage punk draws inspiration from the sounds of a chopped exhaust pipe ripping your eardrums apart whilst you drink a warm beer on the 4th of July. These four songs take the existential anxiety of our pre-apocalyptic world and transmute it into furiously danceable bops that include songs about a femme fatale who sleeps with the Zodiac Killer, secret government projects, and more nonsensical non-nonsense. You’ll be ready to take on any CIA agent, alien, or zombie biker that comes your way. It’s fast, it’s fun, it’s Pre Apocalypse Motorcycle Music!

Has the world actually gotten stupider since FRVITS released their debut EP “Stupid Era” back in 2021? We inquired with Grok and the answer seems to be a resounding “Uhhhh Yes!” Montreal’s first and only dot matrix rock & roll band are back with five pummeling ruminations on what it’s like to watch civilization circle the drain on Planet IQ 32: Abstract songs about monkeys making off with the ISS, strategies for intermittent fasting, learning to love your kidney stones and instructions on how to attend a punk show in the winter. Four new originals sung in garborated French, Spanish and English, plus a cover of The Stupids’ classic “Wipeout” featuring shred-tastic leads by Choyce (PyPy/ CPC Gangbangs / Red Mass / Sexareenos). Mixed and mastered by David Forcier (CIVIC, SWAB, Itchy and The Nits). Rotting fruit for rotting detestables!
FRVITS "The Great Internet" EP by Frvits
