Wavves, Dum Dum Girls, Best Coast, Blank Dogs, now this. I sincerely apologise for hitting you with another one-man garage band, but it seems that’s the way things are going these days. I’m guessing the reason these friendless wonders are recording on their lonesome is that they are bored of other musicians meddling with their grand garage vision and just want to get on with it.

Three Cheers for Beaters

Sex Is Disgusting - Dum Dum Girls
For those unfamiliar with the denomer Sex Is Disgusting, we are Andy & James and we are a record label based in Brighton. We put out records, put on shows, put out zines and drink beer. Due to our status as two men who decided to press their own records it has been deemed by those at Vice that we should be offered a platform to tell you what music to like once a week. On a Thursday. Works for us. The less people listening to Friendly Fires and the more people listening to The Gories the better. You can go read our blog or our MySpace for information on upcoming records, shows and activities etc etc blah blah. This is the only time we’ll reference the label here, to do otherwise would be a bit crass. Read more »
