Tsunami Bomb has dropped two new tracks on all digital streaming platforms!

The first track is pop punk ear worm "Star Power!" The song they wrote for the charity Sing Me A Story to benefit Children's Cancer Partners of the Carolinas, inspired by a story about meeting a dog with super powers by a little girl named Charlee. The song dropped last year but the band offers it up for streaming for the first time. A portion of the proceeds will go to the charity. Since Charlee loved pop music, the band leaned hard into making this song absolutely unforgettable!

The second track is "I Was Betrayed", which is a classic dark anthem the band recorded while tracking the 7" split they did with Oakland's Hammerbombs on Rad Girlfriend Records last year. It's a dark driving banger of a song that only Tsunami Bomb can drop.

Both tracks are now streaming everywhere so head over to your favorite platform and give them a spin!

Tsunami Bomb last released the LP, "The Spine That Binds" and the 7" "Still Standing" on Alternative Tentacles and you can find both at your favorite record store or in our webstore here: https://alternativetentacles.com/pages/artist-page/tsunami-bomb

The Schizophonics have unleashed Black Pleather, the first screaming single off their upcoming new album, "Burning Floor" out this fall on Alternative Tentacles Records! Not only is the track now streaming everywhere, but they dropped a brand new music video!

Stream on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/6OHwrX94MutY7H4Uhvb6hh

Stream on Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/song/black-pleather/6803475690

Like a turbo-charged, raw force of true blue rock ‘n’ roll chaos, The Schizophonics have been making a name for itself with electrifying live shows that combine the fuzz-soaked freakout of proto-punk pioneers like The Stooges and MC5 with the sweat and swagger of James Brown and Little Richard.

With Burning Floor the band set out to capture the spontaneous excitement of their infamous live shows, and the result is an album that bottles up the high-octane fury and infectious energy that have become their trademark. More details soon, but catch them on tour starting next month!

We are having a 50% sale on all Jello Biafra Spoken Word albums in the Alternative Tentacles online store, and we are taking the opportunity to spotlight these incredible albums.

Today we have a spotlight on Jello's second spoken word album, "High Priest of Harmful Matter: Tales From The Trial". Released in 1989, Biafra summarizes the recent history of censorship in America, focusing on crusades to ban subjects such as evolution from school textbooks. He reveals that some court cases on the subject were made to appear local and as if brought by ordinary citizens, but were in fact spearheaded and funded by televangelists such as Pat Robertson. He also explains the part that Christian fundamentalist groups played in the creation of the Parents Music Resource Center.

The second part of the record is devoted to Biafra's lively description of his own experience with the court system after complaints to law enforcement by the PMRC over the Dead Kennedys' "Frankenchrist" album.

It's as close to Lenny Bruce as Biafra would ever want to get and absolutely captivating. Currently available on CD and cassette, it's on sale now for a limited time for 50% off.

Find "High Priest Of Harmful Matter: Tales From The Trail" here: https://alternativetentacles.com/collections/jello-biafra-spoken-world-collection/products/v066-jello_biafra-high_priest_of_harmful_matter_tales_from_the_trial?variant=46689841643809
