Manu Gastado

MANU GASTADO: ''KOSMIC STREET'' CD/LP+DIGITAL DOWNLOAD(2021) (STR-029)

Manu Gastado releases his first solo album, a blissful melodic wandering through a '60s-inspired psych haze. As part of Los Tupper, one of Spain's best-kept secrets, he has spent the last decades indebted to the Jagger/Richards mould, but, on Kosmik Street he has set his Stones obsession to one side to delve further into that classic late-'60s British sound. It's like Revolver spinning in the Small Faces dressing room, a wonderful disimilation and modern update of one of the most mind-bending times in music history. (Nathan Whittle- Ruta66 Magazine)

Jon Ulecia & Cantina Bizarro

JON ULECIA & CANTINA BIZARRO: ''STRIPTEASE'' LP(2019) (STR-026)

''Striptease'' is Jon Ulecia & Cantina Bizarro's comeback. Taking a new step in its path but without losing the essence, the band offer us nine new songs (two of them singing in Spanish for the first time). Class & elegance are again the constants. The phantoms of Thunders, Deville, Rowland Howard or Josetxo Ezponda are still overflying but, let there be no mistake, Ulecia's songs are a whole decalogue of authenticity. Give me a double shot of whatever and leave the bottle, the cantina is already open.

Gil Rose

GIL ROSE "BRUMMELLBLUES" CD DIGIPACK (2016)(STR-018)

''I received a disc in my mailbox. Gil Rose has struck again, this voice, this way of singing so singular, these stubborn enchanting arrangements. Gil Rose picked us, he do it his own way, without artifice, with elegance, with surrealism (Swiss or Belgian or whatever you want), insolence and emotion : an imaginary line drawn somewhere between CbGB's-Max's, Colette Magny, the nonsense, the Great Game and the ''congés payés'', the "Nationale 7'' from our childhood, waste grounds and green meadows. Gil Rose is that Rimbaud layabout, that glam Jacques Bertin on LSD of Jacobites obedience, the young modern Germain Nouveau of fifty years old. Thank you Gil for this wonderful and exhilarating surprise in my mailbox. Thank you to delight us. Oh! ''Monsieur Meteo'' ! These wonderful clouds. I received a disc in my mailbox, a Rose bouquet would have made me less effect '' Merle Leonce Bone, Feb 2016.

Dave Kusworth & Los Tupper

DAVE KUSWORTH & LOS TUPPER "THROWING ROCKS IN HEAVEN" CD(2012)(STR-012)

Dave Kusworth is one of the best hidden gems of rock & roll. With a long career on his back (Jacobites, Bounty Hunters, Tenderhooks, Dogs D'Amour) and a bunch of amazing solo albums, "the Birmingham kid" is still on the road. Recorded entirely during his last tours in Spain with the support of his good friends Los Tupper. You'll find a tasteful manifest along the grooves of "Throwing Rocks in Heaven". Dave takes out of his pocket (besides a rocket) a collection of songs that travel from idyllic landscapes to the darkest alleys. From the more excited Stones to a heartbroken J.Thunders. Slaps of reality looking artificial paradises, drowning for the last time at the bottom of a bottle. Take care and take a look at the sky because it might rain down rocks.

SOLD OUT.


Sonic Trash

SONIC TRASH
"HEY CHICA!" CD/LP (2012)(STR-010)

"Hey Chica!!" is the first Sonic Trash album, the new adventure of David Hono after four albums and several years on the road with his former band Ya te Digo.
An impressive declaration of principles with the scent of the 90's best sounds. They remind us to bands like Screaming Trees, Afghan Whigs or Jane's Addiction although not forgetting other classics like the Velvet Underground or the Stooges. The band show us all their cards in "Hey Chica!!" where they mix English and Spanish in the lyrics, creating a varied and homogeneous concept. Sharp-edged riffs, acid lyrics and crazy rythms are their credentials. Soldiers of gaupasa waiting in the trenches. We hope you enjoy it, cabronazos.

Jacobites

JACOBITES "THE OTTER SONG / APARTMENT TO COMPARTMENT" 7"single (2011)(STR-008)

Nikki Sudden and Dave Kusworth, or what is the same, the Jacobites, were formed in the early 80's as one of the most special and essential bands that arose from the underground British scene. Sunthunder Records is proud to be part of the small velvet universe contained in this 7", which contains two unreleased songs by Sudden & Kusworth.

On one side we have a tune that Nikki recorded in 2003 with his friend Joey Skidmore and other French artists. "The Otter Song" keeps the intensity of the greatest Sudden moments, with a remarkable John Rivers as engineer/producer for most of the discography by this Birmingham lot.

So what's on the other side? Dave Kusworth's "Apartment to compartment", an early-day classic on the Jacobites set list, a Rock & Roll smack in the purest Rolling Stones' "Exile on Main Street" style Recorded in Spain with Los Tupper, a Spanish support band that fits the Jacobite sound like a glove.

"Love stories failed and consumed in full ashtrays, shattered dreams as the last bottle of Chardonnay crashes against the ground while the light of a new morning comes through the curtains amongst a sweet hangover".

Ruins

KEVIN JUNIOR "RUINS" CD (2009)(HPR-013 // STR-006)

"Ruins" (a collection of rarities, b-sides & outtakes): Altough the name Kevin Junior may not yet be the household name it deserves to be, anyone seriously into the best American indie bands of the last ten years will surely get excited if you name them The Chamber Strings. As it is the band was formed in 1997 by Kevin (singer/songwriter/guitarist, a native of Akron, Ohio) in Chicago. But Kevin has quite a long career behind him, and "Ruins" traces an alternative story through its 19 rare or unissued tracks recorded by Kevin under different guises in the last 20 years: The Mystery Girls (1986-1992), The Rosehips (1992-1996) and The Chamber Strings (1997- present time) and on his own. Kevin has opened up his vaults to reevalute his long career, and the result is a collection that will serve both the long standing fans, who will find plenty to rejoice in, and the newcomers who will discover the amazing talent of one Kevin Junior.

Gil Rose

GIL ROSE: ''SUR DU VELOURS'' 12'' VINYL EP (2020) (STR-027)

Slipping from the fluffy and funky ''Nous bűmes'' to the Morriconian ''Du męme fer'' via the heady ''Hold-up'' and its hail of percussions and acid guitars, ''Sur du velours'' ends with a disillusioned country song. Gil Rose catapults words and music with unrivalled verve and ingenuity aided by the classy musicians of Los Tupper. French elegance and groovy sounds, this one is high art. (Alain Feydri)

DAVE KUSWORTH & LOS TUPPER: ''CINDERELLA'S SHOES'' LP/CD (2019) (STR-025)

Once upon a time there was a prince who lived in a velvet castle. He was a Rock&Roll outlaw and sometimes he crossed the sea to play with a band of gypsies. In this second album together, ''Cinderella's shoes'', you're going to find the same ingredientes than in their previous, but a little bit older & wiser: romantic tales, dirty fairy legends, bastardian nouvelle and kinky voudeville. If I were you, I wouldn't miss the ball. There is free bar, music never stops and the stepsisters are available after midnight. We are sure, these shoes are made for you.

Kevin Junior

KEVIN JUNIOR & LOS TUPPER "SI MINOR SEVENTH" 7"EP (+CD INSIDE) (2016)(STR-019)

This four song EP is the result of the studio sessions that took place on April 2015, during the mini Spanish tour in which we had the pleasure of being Kevin's Band. Kevin decided to call the record "Si Minor Seventh", using the Spanish word "Si" instead of the letter "C", which is pronounced the same, in reference to the guitar chord (he also found it hilarious because "Si" is indeed the "B" chord in Spanish).Kevin was a perfectionist, so he apologized after being "picky" (in his own words) with the solo for the song "Ruins". We tried different ones, but none of them convinced him, so the recording remained on stand-by for a few months. Finally, we invited Charlie Mysterio ("Los Caramelos") to have a go at the solo. After a few attempts, we got Kevin's approval, who said it had been worth the wait.Kevin was enthusiastic as he had spent several years without recording any new stuff, so this would be his comeback. He was so pleased with the results that he announced his intention of using all the songs (apart from "Debris") for the new Chamber Strings album. However, he wanted the EP to be released first, credited as "Kevin Junior & Los Tupper". The cover's design got his approval straight away.Two days before passing away, he wrote to give us the last instructions for the final mix. This is the result. "We miss you Kevin" (Los Tupper)

Gil Rose

GIL ROSE "STAR AU SOTO BAR" CD (2012)(STR-009)

For his first offence, some years ago, Gil Rose claimed he was King of nothing. A clear statement and a real good start. Backed by Les Hydropathes in some Nino Ferrer / Ronnie Bird sixties-garage way. For this new one, he's now Star au Soto Bar. At last! Such an improvement. In between, you'll find a couple of others records. Less revival, much more sarcastic. Coming with a non-stop obsession for refinement and ironic peculiarity. Sometimes haunted by Nikki Sudden, Johnny Thunders or long time forgotten old bluesmen. But, above all, mainly Gil Rose. He's one of a kind. Logical next step was going alone. Offering the substantial. Closer to the bone. That's what "Soto bar" is all about. Bare record, full of imagination. A whole world. With great melodies. Less is more! Recorded and produced by none than Wreckless Eric, a legend by himself. Some fascinating bittersweet love songs and an handful of neurotic mocking ones. Add a cathartic celebration of western B- movie. Probably shooted in Spain. And even a couple of bossa nova. The guy HATES routine !! And reinvent what he likes about rock'n'roll. Something one part primitive, one part smart. And funny. With booze, women and tenderness. Doin' it his way. Informal. He's right!
