Produced by Ric Ocasek from The Cars. And according to a post here:”Casey from New Models played guitar in Slapshot for a brief time.” From Boston. “The New Models caught their first big break when they attracted the attention of the Cars’ David Robinson, who asked them to open for the Cars at their 1980 Boston Garden concert. A series of favorable reviews was followed by circulation of a tape produced by Ric Ocasek at his newly opened Synchro Sound Studio. The tape, consisting of the tunes “Permanent Vacation” and -”Shattered Windows,” became a local hit, but, in absence of any vinyl product, interest in the band soon died out.” From Rob Noxious(lewdsnot, zoloft_anaconda) trade theft and therefore I have no sleeve.

Shattered Windows
From Akron, Ohio I’ll give you Waitresses. I’ve heard later stuff but not as good as “Clones”. What to expect from a band from Ohio if not some weird shit? Keep an ear open for Tin Huye too! They did some awesome tracks in the 70’s. Check out the Waitresses website: here.
It’s something coocking in Sweden. You’ve heard “Knugen Faller” before and here’s “The Vicious”. Has “Sara Almgren” who played keyboard in “T(i)NC”. Heard they’re in USA right now on a tour so here’s a little plug to check ‘em out. Vicious have an LP out too that I still haven’t heard.

Suspicious
Searching Google gives you nothing on Ovenmen. This band has been a mystery to me since 2003 when I first stumbled upon it in Copenhagen at a record shop named “Route 66″. Apparently this was a one man project cause the adress on the back reads: “Louis(Ovenman) Lopes, 144 Broadway 6thfl, Williamsburg N.Y 11211″ with the help of “Mark Maniac” on keyboards, rythm box and vocals. Another note on the back of the sleeve he thanks some former members who was in the band in Boston between 77-78 then called “Ovenman And The Roasters”. Great stuff!

Do Or Die Situation
Victim from Ireland with their second 7inch(From James at Worthless Trash:”This is actually the 3rd 7″, the 2nd was “Why Are Fire Engines Red” on TJM”) produced by Rat Scabies from The Damned. “The Teen Age” is anthemic punk rock that is hard to resist. Topped with a great cover by Bowie:”Hang On To Yourself”. Fill me in about the Victim please. First 7inch was released by Good Vibration Records.
