CMM are happy to announce the release of the Copenhagen Denmark based band Me After You's debut album "Foughts". Armed with bass and drums, the band provide a barrage of post-punk desperation and reflection on their first album ‘Foughts’. The ‘bluegaze’ duo has played in Europe, Scandinavia and the United Kingdom and comprises Professor Leonard Seabrooke on bass and main vocals and Federico Festino on drums and keys. On ‘Foughts’ Seabrooke’s bass is crunked-up on octavers and reverb, riffing out walls of sound and feedback squall, or aping tremolo drops and humming like a demented cello. Festino pounds out beats and notes from his mutant kit, half drums and half synths and vibes. ME AFTER YOU’s sound was captured by Andy Miller, who produced and recorded the album in Scotland. Best known for his work with Mogwai, Miller’s production on ‘Foughts’ reflects a mix of wild live performance (“Little Boy/Fat Man””) and more controlled crafted songs ("Out of My Mind”). Musically, the songs on ‘Foughts’ are cousins rather than siblings. Listeners will immediately identify post-punk influences, but with twists and turns; from avant-garage in “Little Boy/Fat Man” and “Il Primo Dio”, gothic shoegaze in “Guilty in Love” and “Revolt!”, darkwave pop in “Out of My Mind”, “Retrospecting” and “Someone to Hate”, screaming rock in “MAMA” and the most deliberate fusion of blues and shoegaze in “Wipe the Blood” and “3”. "Foughts" is now available on CD with a "deluxe" vinyl edition coming soon.

Last Remaining Pinnacle "Visitors" Limited LP/CD/Cassette

Portsmouth Virginia based noise rock artists Last Remaining Pinnacle have released their 1st proper album “Visitors”. The band was started in 1995 by guitarist/vocalist Dave Allison and over it’s 17 year existence LRP has appeared on multiple 7” splits, compilations and limited edition cassettes crafting out sounds ranging from harsh noise to ambient soundtrack recordings.In 2010 Allison started to expand the sounds of LRP taking the harshness of it’s earlier sounds and adding in more structured like “rock n roll” song writing. The project soon became a duo with the addition of guitarist/recording engineer Dave Dembitsky and after a successful run of shows up and down the East Coast throughout 2011 the band began recording “Visitors”.The result is a truly cohesive album of songs that complement each other in the purist way. Be it the chainsaw like dual guitar attack of opening track “7 Dollar Room”, the floating numb like elements of “Start” or the straight up menacing rage of “Lies”, “Visitors” begins with a straight forward 1-2-3 punch before settling into the pulsating beat of “They Are Lost” which is backed by a riff that combines aspects of Duane Eddy’s “Rebel Rouser” and “A Forrest” by The Cure with lyrics focused on the monotony of life. “Mantle Rotation 3” is a return to early LRP compositions with a whirling, swirling “emergency” type sound that drops into a doomful dirge. Things then resurface into “Every Night” which combines a haunting gothic post punk vibe with a heavy does of Cream’s “Swlabr”. “Students Of The V.U.” features a dark repetitive riff, tribal like drums and psych fuelled vocals that put the listener in an almost a trance like state.The album ends with the title track “Visitors” a look at the aspects of marketing, religion, media and the work place in our modern society and how it effects us all.

Modern Man - Eyes No - LP / Cassette

Custom Made Music are proud to announce the release of Modern Man’s “Eyes No” album on limited edition LP and cassette. The South Carolina based band blend reverb drenched guitars and vocals with a pounding rhythm section.  The album wastes no time in showing the band’s prowess, as “Wild Animal” is a pummeling, driving and ultimately compelling song. Eyes No excels at being atmospheric and dictating mood on the listener. As much as they push a haunting terror, they always reach out and bring you back in at the right moment. Their sound is a distillation of Velvet Underground throb and MBV’s slabs of gazer gauze.

In the wake of a lengthy barroom conversation on the glories of Krautrock and early shoegaze, David Koslowski, Nick Williams, and Shirlé Hale formed Free Electric State in January 2009, and were soon joined by Tony Stiglitz on drums. In the thriving music scene of Durham NC, the band quickly became something of an anomaly. Among the nascent community of polite indie-folk and garage revivalists, Free Electric State was all texture, noise, volume, and (yes indeed) actual rock n' roll hooks. The oddly reactionary approach proved successful, and Free Electric State became hot ticket in the North Carolina scene, eventually sharing bills with Mike Watt, Polvo, Thee Silver Mt. Zion, and Deerhunter.

The resulting album is both melancholy and joyously exuberant, and most importantly stands as a single, concise movement in the band's progression. The lyrics reflect the great deal of loss the band felt when writing the record. Vocalist/bassist Shirle Hale states "Shortly after my mother's death, we started work on our new record, as the first few songs were unfolding David & I then lost a close friend unexpectedly and 3 months later my father passed away. Also during this time period Nick lost his cousin and watched his best friend from high school lose a shockingly fast battle with cancer. The lyrics and may of the songs range from grief, blame, regret and finally a strange inevitable acceptance."

David J And Ego Plum 'In The Temple Of The Id' c/w 'Indelible Blue' ( Bare Bones version ) 7" Single

Custom Made Music is very happy to announce the release of this limited edition 7" single from David J (Bauhaus/Love And Rockets) and Ego Plum (Nickelodeon's "Making Fiends"). The tracks are taken from the song cycle which was originally used in the independent movie, 'The Devil's Muse', directed by Ramzi Abed and which is now featured in the new stage production, 'The Chanteuse and The Devil's Muse'.  'In The Temple Of The Id' is a fly-on-the-wall horrorshow vision of the urban charnel house wherein the Black Dahlia was tortured and subsequently murdered.  ( Steve Hodel, author of the best selling, 'Black Dahlia Avenger', claimed that this song gave him chills! )

'Indelible Blue' is  the original demo of the song written for Abby Travis.  This beautiful ballad is the sapphire jewel in the crown of the blood stained song cycle.  Here it is stripped down to it's bare essence. This single is available now packaged in an incredible looking 3 color silk screened cover. For more info on 'The Chanteuse and The Devil's Muse' visit www.davidjonline.com

Dark Industrial Electro sounds and edgy Wax Trax / 4AD era guitars pushed to the outer limits, a heavy dose of new-wave futurism.

Virginia Psych/Shoegaze/Noise outfit Last Remaining Pinnacle offer up their most hypnotic and experimental track to date with "Students Of The V.U.". The song is full of fuzzy guitars, droned out percussion and psychotic synth noise bringing to mind the experimental nature of artists like Savage Republic and The Tribes Of Neurot combined with an air of the Velvets and early Pink Floyd. LRP are joined by fellow Virginian's Pan Galactic Straw Boss who's track "Sleepless" starts out at a snail like pace then builds and builds into a euphoric blast of shoegaze bliss bringing to mind the atmospheric noise of Slowdive, MBV, and Boris. This release will be available May 16th from Custom Made Music.

Custom Made Music is proud to announce the official release of The Sky Drops "Making Mountains" E.P. on 12" vinyl, CD and digital download. These Delaware natives unearth an ocean-size of sound and have taken their moody sonic maelstrom throughout the USA and UK. Check out this review of "Making Mountains" from the new issue of The Big Takeover.

Big Takeover Review: "Dynamic and enchanting, Delaware’s The Sky Drops fashion a sweet tapestry of garage, psychedelics, and shoegaze. I’m talking the real stuff here, the good stuff. The swervedriving lush swirls of heavy noise. But the shadows are only there to keep the songs grounded, because melodies fly high and rhythms push up against the harmonizing vocals until all is full of sound. These songs from Rob Montejo, ex of Smashing Orange, and Monika Bullette are almost instant classics, but timeless. This music is now, pulsating between ethereal glory and desert rock. Sometimes catching like a collision between Loop and the seasick swagger of My Bloody Valentine. This EP, which is only disappointing because it’s too short, ends with the slow paisley dream of “Together-ing”, and I’m left feeling complete, but wanting more."

A limited run of the Screen Vinyl Image / Rude 66 split 7 inch is now available for ordering. These are custom screened by Pedal Printing in glorious black and white!

The Screen Vinyl Image / Rude 66 split 7 inch takes dark Industrial Electro sounds and edgy Wax Trax / 4AD era guitars and pushes them to the outer limits; offering up a heavy dose of new-wave futurism.

Screen Vinyl Image, well known for putting on raging guitar feedback shows, are also no strangers to electronic music, and their track Tomorrow is Too Far is possibly the furthest the band has gone yet in the realm of analog machines and horror/sci-fi themes.

Rude 66, one of the founders of The Hague acid sound, and who has released records with Bunker, Crème Organization, Viewlexx and more, brings us I Am God, a march into darkness filled with stabbing basses, cold synths, edgy guitars and vocoder vocals by wife, Shauna Lekx, delivered in calculated bloodlust and horror.

The Sky Drops expand their brand of shoegaze rock with their third release, Making Mountains. The first track, “Explain It To Me,” is an infectious romp in slithering fuzz, a la 60s Stones high on MBV.  “Cut That Corner” and the hypnotic swagger of “Keeper” bring The Sky Drops’ trademark harmonies, explosive guitars and atmospherics to a Queens of the Stone Age sensibility. The fuzz subsides, and a swell of Loveless era guitars drives the catchy Latin sway of “Out The Window.” The last track is the unsettling acoustic beauty “Together-ing.” "Making Mountains" is available now as a limited edition 12" vinyl record with a special silk screened cover that's hand numbered and limited to 100 copies. This limited edition version will only be available from our website and at shows from the band themselves.  Order now as these will sell out fast.

Pete International Airport is the latest project from Dandy Warhols guitarist Peter Holmstrom. Writing predominantly on guitar Holmstrom culled his favorite noisy, droney, and atmospheric jams he'd written for the project. With help from friends in the Brian Jonestown Massacre, the Warlocks, Highway, The Upsidedown, M. Ward's band and Australia's Even, he holed up in the Dandy Warhol's recording studio, The Odditorium. The resulting album highlights Holmstrom's guitar work at it's finest. Songs like "Repeater" soar into space, dripping with hints of Spacemen 3 while "21 Days" pummels like a lost Primal Scream burner. Nods to past stop there though, as Holmstrom, with the help of The Upsidedown's Jsun Adams on vocals, stretches the guitar compositions into a lush, fully realized album that cycles though acid-fueled stompers, drenched with feedback and strangeness ("New Eastern"), to melodic love songs ("Sweetheart Tattoo") and closing with the beautiful and dreamy send off "I Care".

This album is available on CD now with limited edition 2 X LP coming later this Fall.

Custom Made Music are proud to announce the release of L.A. popgazers Sky Parade's new album "Intoxicated". Sky Parade are headed by former Brian Jonestown Massacre member Tommy Dietrick.

The albums 1st single, “I Should Be Coming Up (But I Keep Coming Down),” produced by Courtney Taylor of The Dandy Warhols is a three-minute fantasy-vs.-reality lament that pits an urgent rhythmic churn against giddy washes of synths.

The 11 track LP/CD also features appearances by Dizzy Reed (Guns N’ Roses), Zia Macabe (The Dandy Warhols) and Jeff Schroeder (Smashing Pumpkins, the Lassie Foundation). The LA Times have described the band as "A joyride of dense, churning guitars that sounds like Primal Scream getting Spiritualized!." The album will be released July 13th as a limited edition CD with 12" Vinyl soon after.

Screen Vinyl Image follow up their debut full length “Interceptors” with a collection of remixes both by the band and close friends. The remixes range from stomping dance floor cuts for clubs to trippy dubbed-out tracks perfect for headphone listening. Each track keeps the bands signature shoegaze/psychedelic/electronic mix that built up Interceptors praise throughout 2009 and found the band on many top 10 lists of the year.

Chaser is remixed by NYC’s Hypefactor and presents a version of the first SVI single from Interceptors in a light that recalls those classic Cure and Depeche Mode 12 inch singles. Until the End of Time is featured twice, first in a hallucenagenic light by NYC’s Remarkably Spry (Christo Buffman of The Vandelles) and on the B-side by San Fransisco’s I.H.M.C. offering a more classic electronic rendition of the song. What You Need is given a pumping four on the floor rendition by Paris’s TeengeSinTaste while Screen Vinyl Image remix both Pasing Through Mirrors off their debut EP The Midnight Sun and a droned out version of their second big single from Interceptors, Cathode Ray.

We are taking Pre-Orders for this 12" record now. A CD with all 6 tracks will also be included inside each jacket. Everyone that pre-orders a copy will get a hand stamped hand numbered copy that will also included a silk screened poster. This edition will be limited to 100 copies and can be ordered via paypal for $10 for U.S. orders and $20 for International orders.
