Montreal’s Elephant Stone was formed in 2009 by sitarist/bassist Rishi Dhir. As one of the most highly sought out sitar players in the international psych scene, he has recorded, performed and toured with Beck, the Black Angels, Brian Jonestown Massacre, the Horrors, and many more.

Elephant Stone has released two LPs, an EP, and has toured throughout North American and Europe. They have spear-headed the Hindie-Rock movement with their deft ability of weaving together rock’n’roll, Hindustani classical, and catchy-as-all-hell pop.

2014 will see the release of Elephant Stone’s third full-length, The Three Poisons. Their strongest/grooviest release to date,

Froth – “Postcard Radio” from their forthcoming album, Bleak,

Burger Records has existed since 2007, but the label’s truly grown in popularity over the last two years. Between tons of releases, throwing festivals in different cities, a seemingly endless roster, and a constant profile in the  New York Times, it’s hard to believe the dudes who run the label get any sleep at all. It’s easy to become a band that gets lost within Burger’s primarily garage-rock roster, however LA four-piece Froth’s 60s-inspired, catchy, shoe-gaze surf rock have always made the band a standout gem.

We’re premiering Froth’s new song for “Postcard Radio,” which is the perfect song to listen to while hanging out of a car window, and eating a donut while wearing sweet sunglasses when the summer comes.

We got this record in the shop and played it to death – over and over, couldn’t get enough!!! So that lead to us doing the cassette version of this excellent album!!! “Why Say Don’t” is my favorite track on the record and when they toured through our town on the album they played the song for me at the show and it was really awesome and very much appreciated 🙂 The tape features two bonus songs not on the LP which was released on Douchemaster!!!

Dateline: California- 1969- Charles Manson & Altamont, the hippie utopian dream was over, the end of the 60’s gave way to the excess of Kim Fowley’s 70’s Hollywood- hitchhikers, runaways, outlaws, wanderers, draft dodgers, punks & rock n’ roll as lifestyle/religion.
Death Valley Girls remember Kim Fowley’s Hollywood, Rodney’s English Disco, the Starwood and Jeffrey Lee Pierce.
Death Valley Girls are a Californian rock n’ roll band, a gang of five. Bonnie on vocals/guitar & feedback, Jessie on twilight zone vocals. Bobby on teenage delinquent bass. Larry on proto-punk fuzz guitar and the kid on detention & drums. They’ve all done time in other bands- Feeding People.Gap Dream, Flytraps, Witnesses, Flesheaters, maybe more but that don’t matter anymore.They’re a family now.


They have releases on Burger Records & Lolipop Records, live shows have been a constant- L.A. clubs/all ages/house party’s and tours. They’re a travellin’ band prepared for end times, guitar, drums & tambourines are stocked away in Death Valley for the celebration, Death Valley Girls are gonna have a real cool time while they’re here, join them.

Blast Magic Jake & The Power Crystals  An all star DETROIT Garage Punk Rock Band featuring members of King Tuff, The GO, John Krautner,Conspiracy Of Owls . The Power Crystals charge forth, freshly lightning-struck into a new, gangly life, slid off from the slab in the garage, now, a strangely enchanting lo-fi-grooving, shredded-to-hell bubblegum pop Frankenstein.

Its bloodstream equally addled by caffeine and nicotine and coursing with a fuzzed and fibrous rock n roll flush, its gaunt, metallic body scrapes its way exuberantly through a skateboarding album of 2-minute ravenous pounders.
Roaring, squalling solos, steady trucking bass ripples and distortion-blustered vocals that balance a keyed-up cadence with a melodious belt; there’s light flares of strutting glam-rock, blues wringing, cathartic punk huffing tromps and relentless…relentlessly shakeable rhythms.
There are no slow songs.

–This project brings together members of The Go, the Detroit Cobras, Magic Shop, the Readies, Electric Fire Babies, Isles of ESP, Conspiracy of Owls and Hi-Speed Dubbing. They’ve got an album out on California-based cassette mavens Burger Records.

50 Years after their 1965 Single “MAKIN’ LOVE” here comes the Sloths newly released track and a debut album to follow titled “BACK FROM THE GRAVE”!!! these original sunset strip garage rockers release their CD on Lollipop and cassette collab w/ Burger Records!!!

The Sloths played virtually every venue in Hollywood; The Palladium, The Stratford, Sea Witch, The Hullabaloo, Bito Lidos, The Galaxy, and The Whiskey. They shared the bill with The Doors, Love, Iron Butterfly, The Seeds, The Electric Prunes and British icons Pink Floyd and The Animals.

Unbeknownst to them, during the 1980s, their record of MAKIN’ LOVE was discovered and added to a collection of garage band music entitled BACK FROM THE GRAVE. It was now covered by many bands including The Gories. By 2011, the scarce remaining copies of their 45rpm of MAKIN’ LOVE and YOU MEAN EVERYTHING TO ME was selling on eBay for $6,550.00. Hearing of this, rock fanzine UGLY THINGS decided to do an article on this unique occurrence and wanted to solve the mystery of ‘Who were The Sloths?’. UGLY THINGS editor Mike Stax tracked down original guitarist JEFF BRISKIN, while at same time, Mike Dugo of http://www.60sgarageband.com found bassist MIKE RUMMANS. Slowly others were found… STEVE DIBNER, DON SILVERMAN, and former MAY WINE lead singer TOMMY McLOUGHLIN

Featuring Shana Cleveland (guitar), Marian Li Pino (drums), Abbey Blackwell (bass), and Alice Sandahl (keyboards); the group brings a relaxed beach-babe vibe to their take on the sweet, thick harmonies of 60’s girl-group, garage, and doo-wop bands. Born in the Summer of 2012, La Luz is driven by thumping, energetic bass lines, danceable surf beats, trembling organ, reverb-soaked guitar, and a wild love of rock ‘n’ roll. The band recorded their first EP Damp Face with the help of their friend Johnny Goss in a sweaty apartment across from the laundry room in a Bothell, WA trailer park. The initial run of 100 home-dubbed cassettes sold out after the bands’ first few shows and in February 2013, Burger Records re-popped the cassette. A full length record is now in the works and La Luz looks forward to inspiring damp-faced dance parties in clubs, basements, theaters, and backyard seances all over the world!

The GO’s fourth LP “Howl on the Haunted Beat You Ride”, the brash quartet’s signature raucous energy takes a backseat to lo-fi, off-kilter harmonies riding shotgun. “Caroline” is a song exemplifying the most endearing and elementary of pop classics as if the Zombies and the Kinks made up with Dr. Dog following a schoolyard fist fight. With sweeping riffage, dissonant piano plunks, and hidden saxophone bits, The GO gets a little soft rock. But frontman Bobby Harlow, the menacing Detroit rocker who brought us the sneering garage rock staple “Whatcha Doin'” in 1999, appears pretty comfortable with that. He may be “a boy with rosebud eyes,” however it’s his heart that’s colored with Motor City malaise, thus making “Caroline” the band’s finest heartbreaker since 2003’s “Summer’s Gonna Be My Girl.” ,
