We’re celebrating 25 YEARS of BIG JOHN BATES! And for this special occasion Rookie Records put out a brand new EP called “Scarlet Racer” today!
The unique style of this band is something best experienced live, so they’re heading out on an EU tour next week. Bates has been sharpening his sound over eight LPs since the frst 7” release in 2000.
Their style encompasses psychobilly, garage rock, punk-blues, Americana and Exotica – hell, it’s all rock’n’roll. And the Big John Bates YouTube Channel has tens of thousands of plays while companies as varied as Jagermeister, Dayton Boots, Hofner and Gretsch have all reached out with sponsorships.
“Headless Fowl is cool indeed” – Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys)

“One of Vancouver’s most notorious musicians” – The Globe & Mail (CAN)

Boston’s International ambassadors of garage rock ‘n’ roll MUCK & THE MIRES were once described as “a mix of the 1964 Beatles and The Ramones” by legendary Runaways producer Kim Fowley (Fowley went on to produce several of the band’s records). Not much needs to be added.
The band’s lineup features founding members Muck (ex-Voodoo Dolls/The Queers) on vocals and guitar, Jessie Best on drums, Pedro Mire (ex-The Apehangers) on lead guitar and long-time bassist John Quincy Mire.
Get ready for some beat garage live action at its best. Their new album “Beat Revolution” just got released and will be waiting for you at the merch table.

Not Scientists are from the French Alps and orphaned from French melodic-punk titans Uncommonmenfrommars.
With crystalline guitars and unstoppable melodies, they followed the playbook of the Punk-Rock circuit from which they were born and raised.
Staring at the Sun is their latest album. It is an ode to New Wave melodies – a tribute to The Cure and Killing Joke – and is the flagship of a band that is driving hard into uncharted seas.
These guys know how to write good songs – that’s a fact.
Backed by Kicking Records, Not Scientists have left the beaten path and are careening headlong into the creative underbrush, blazing a new path and leaving shredded convention in their wake.

LOOK OUT! One of Europe’s longest standing power-pop / pop-punk / good-time-rock’n’roll-bands has once again decided to take their sugar-filled show on the road, and will be rippin’ it up at a place near YOU!
THE YUM YUMS started in 1993 and they wanted to put a little sunshine and fun back in rock’n’roll by combining the classic sounds of The Ramones, The Beat, The Rubinoos, The Real Kids with the sound of their heroes at the time: The Devil Dogs, The Vacant Lot, Psychotic Youth… and top it off with sprinkles of 60’s girlgroups, surf and even a little bit of 70’s glam.

After some 7″ singles, The Yum Yums released their debut album Sweet As Candy. The album was released on several labels around the world, and received raving reviews! In Norway, the album even got nominated for a Grammy for best rock album. Didn’t win, though…
Their latest album «Poppin’ Up Again!» got released in 2024!

It’s easy to imagine The Ravagers as a group of rebel-rousing shit stirrers. Their songs call out obvious wrongdoing. The lyrics often paint dangerous, black landscapes that resemble a wet Danzig dream. But at their core, they’re here to have fun.
The Ravagers have created their own brand of East Coast punk rock’n’roll. An aggressive mix of classic punk, early hard rock and glam, coupled with a mix of rousing guitars and melodies. They have been compared to bands like The Dead Boys and Turbonegro.
Since their formation in 2013, they have cut a swath across the US and Canada, with their first releases “Livin in Oblivion” (Cricket Cemetery) and “Natural Instinct” (Rock N Rule Records/Pork Magazine) in their wake. The Ravagers went on a major headlining tour of the US, Europe and Spain in 2023.
And in 2025 they are coming back to Europe with a brand new album called “On the loose” (Spaghetty Town Records/ Wanda Records).
