The
NoMen - Go For A Knockout!
|
The NoMen have been pottering around for the last five years banging out cover versions of Swell Maps and TVP and Steve Treatment songs. They have been the backing band on Steve Treatments recent output as well as helping out on recent releases by Jowe Head and Phones Sportsman. They released a CD of songs in 2003 and then had a split 7" single with Phones Sportsman in 2008. Most of their recordings are free to listen to on their website but we thought we'd charge you for this full throttle instrumental makeover of songs from the sharpest band in Luton. The Knockouts! This is blistering party crashing music. Like a Krautrock Link Wray playing with the MC5!

The
Plimptons - (available only from the band at gigs!)
|
This
is the second EP on "Topplers Lite" from this hotly tipped
comedy rock combo from Glasgow. This EP, like the other release,
is a freebie at their gigs... Get it while you can! Two tracks from
this EP are available to watch on video...

The
Paraffins - Cardboard Cutout Video EP
| Billy Paraffin has served his time with Topplers records firstly as one of the main members of the early NoMen and then as the drummer and producer of the Deciders (the first band to release a 7" single with us). His production skills on that record set a benchmark for all other releases as he showed us that a DIY recording from my living room could sound like a professional record! Billy has been on the Scottish electro-pop scene for years with his band The Electroluvs but this new project uses a more organic format with acoustic guitars and percussion. |
Mr Luggs - Live at Smugglers
| This
Live CD has been available for ages as a free download on the Mr Luggs
web page but we thought we'd edit out some of the awkward silences
to tighten up the listening experience. We've also boosted the sound
levels which makes this 'fly-on-the-wall' recording almost listenable!!!
Mr Luggs was asked to appear at a local pub and asked Allan from the
Topplers Studio if he could have the backing tracks from the CD he
was recording at the time as a backing track which he would sing a
long to. Allan accompanied him to the gig and ended up playing on
a few acoustic duets. It sound very nice and tame, doesn't it? What
could go wrong? Everything! The crowd hated it! They were expecting some king of karaoke singalong, not this. The torrent of abuse is captured faithfully on this recording as is Mr Luggs hilarious responses! It's like Metallic KO without the violence... |

The Existentialists - All the Polka Dot Bandits EP
| This French sixties influenced band have already had a track from this EP released by Topplers. It appeared on our first compilation CD from 2007. The Existentialists then released this EP on their own label which we are pleased to be able to present here in the UK with a slightly brighter cover to match the brilliance of the music! If you like the way that the sound of the sixties was twisted and mutated by the likes of The Television Personalities and Ed Ball, then I'll guarantee you'll love this. |
POSTAGE IS £1 ON ALL THESE RELEASES. Buy ONE and it's a pound postage,
buy TWO and it's a pound postage, buy THREE and ... Its £1 up to
SIX "Topplers Lite" releases!
