News : Goatsound launch label, incoming releases from Looking Glass, Headless, Blunt Shovel and more

By on March 1, 2016

Goatsound Studios in Reservoir (VIC) has long been the go-to place to get everything heavy and dirty done, with their massive list of past releases including The Kill, Watchtower, Kromosom, I Exist, Clagg, King Parrot and too many more to type out.

Not too long ago they launched a Black Flag reinterpretation album with a heap of local bands having 30 minutes of studio time to smash out a cover, with some killer results. Volume 2 of that series is coming on March 14th, this time reinterpreting Hard-Ons’ Dickcheese, courtesy of Dr Colossus, Sun God Replica, Grindhouse, Cracked Tapes, Christcrusher, DEAD, Frank Rizzo, Agonhymn, Fear Like Us, Big Bread, Drifter, Wolfpack, TTTDC, Warped, Craig Westwood, Spacejunk and Whyndham Earl & the Golden Idols. What a list!

And with that release comes the beginning of Goatsound Records. Teaming up with Gamla Grind Records the initial set of releases is the debut from Melbourne surf rock combo Birdcage (members of Ruiner, The Day Everything Became Nothing, Fuck I’m Dead, Blood Duster), the fourth album from Canberra psych doom band Looking Glass, and electronic outfit Battlesick.

And to name drop more bands there will be newies from death metallers Blunt Shovel and Headless, reissues of the Christbait back catalogue, and some band with the bizarre name Phantom Panda Wizard Master Smasher.

There are more details about, well everything, over at the Goatsound page.
