FUTURISMO Inc., London (2025)

03/06/2025

Still available. UNITS Digital Stimulation LP, containing a bonus CD. The 1980 debut album by San Francisco's THE UNITS (Official) is a revered masterpiece, a dystopic art space vision that helped reshape sound for a new age. Featuring the now classic 'High Pressure Days' this synthpunk collection is a time capsule brought up from the dawn of the digi-age; all metronomical rhythms, wry lines and ice-cold delivery, making it vital for fans of Screamers, Su***de and Devo.

The deluxe remastered version of this out of print 1980 LP is presented here in a choice of ltd edition coloured vinyl, and includes a CD of the album remixed in 2020 by Scott Ryser. The front cover is an exact recreation of the original, and elsewhere the art utilises markings and scribbles from the original 80’s art boards. This release also contains a 12pg art booklet containing rare imagery and new liner notes. Currently available from FUTURISMO Inc. while stocks last.

Futurismo and Devo are thrilled to give you a brand new pressing of the DEVO’s incredible Recombo DNA 4xLP with Mini CD Set, and also a brand new 3xCD version. Now shipping from the Futurismo store.

For decades Devo have been working non-stop at Recombo DNA Laboratories on a new kind of research to keep up with the mutating world around us.

Futurismo were the first to bring you this on vinyl and now they present unhindered access into Devo’s labs, documenting the scientific analysis and demonstrations as conducted by the band between the years 1977-2008.

Futurismo’s version of this compilation includes bonus tracks taken from the archives that had never been released, or even heard before.

Design details from FUTURISMO Inc.’s release of SURF PUNKS 1982 classic - Locals Only.

Out next week, this is a raucous love letter to beach life in Malibu, a tongue in cheek, culturally observant, fully anarchic slab of new wave punk fun that is not to be missed. Out was the clean-cut 60’s surf culture innocence of The Beach Boys, in was Surf Punks brand of attitude fuelled 80’s surf rock, lampooning everything from lifeguards to valley kids to shark attacks. Surf Punks wild abandon was captured perfectly in Richard Uppers wonderful cover photograph, featuring the band sprawled out on a beach adorned with surf paraphernalia and beer. Originally only used in black and white on the back cover, here it appears on the front in full colour for the very first time…as well as on the fold out poster contained inside.

An essential document of the era, Locals Only is a vibrant amalgamation of new wave, surf rock, pop and SoCal punk all wrapped up in a catchy, obnoxious, irreverent package that could perhaps be considered a rarity, in that it had the musical chops to back it all up.

The remastered version of this long out of print LP comes in limited edition ‘Beach Gunk’ coloured vinyl and contains two bonus tracks. It is packaged in a gloss laminated sleeve with redux artwork featuring a brand new colour scan of the cover photo by Richard Upper, plus a colour inner sleeve and a large fold-out poster.

Announcing | SURF PUNKS Locals Only LP

Hot on the heels of the My Beach reissue, FUTURISMO Inc. present Surf Punks classic 1982 follow up - Locals Only….available to PRE-ORDER NOW!

A raucous love letter to beach life in Malibu, Locals Only is a tongue in cheek, culturally observant, fully anarchic slab of new wave punk fun that is not to be missed. Out was the clean-cut 60’s surf culture innocence of The Beach Boys, in was Surf Punks brand of attitude fuelled 80’s surf rock, lampooning everything from lifeguards to valley kids to shark attacks. Surf Punks wild abandon was captured perfectly in Richard Uppers wonderful cover photograph, featuring the band sprawled out on a beach adorned with surf paraphernalia and beer. Originally only used in black and white on the back cover, here it appears on the front in full colour for the first time. Make no mistake, Surf Punks were the real deal, fully committed to the beach life concept in both reality; Drew Steele and Dennis Dragon were hardcore surfers, and on stage; where they constructed a full size lifeguard tower and beach set up. A taste of the bands live mayhem can be seen in their memorable section of the cult music documentary Urgh! A Music War.

Unmistakably a product of the 1980’s, Locals Only is a neon splattered punk fused party bomb that was about ‘not taking life too seriously’ even if the band themselves were serious musicians at heart. During the 80’s surf culture was thrown into populist overdrive in fashion and film, but Surf Punks were doing it first. An essential document of the era, Locals Only is a vibrant amalgamation of new wave, surf rock, pop and SoCal punk all wrapped up in a catchy, obnoxious, irreverent package that could perhaps be considered a rarity, in that it had the musical chops to back it all up. For fans of Descendents, The Ramones, Agent Orange and Devo.

The remastered version of this long out of print LP comes in limited edition ‘Beach Gunk’ coloured vinyl and contains two bonus tracks. It is packaged in a gloss laminated sleeve with redux artwork featuring a brand new colour scan of the cover photo, plus a colour inner sleeve and a large fold-out poster.
