Check out this awesome video from Hiroshima Rocks Around off of their split LP with Bipolar Bear. They’ve also just opened a new venue in Rome called DalVerme with a great lineup of bands booked almost every night through March.

In other news, we’ve got some brand new distro items from our friends at Les Disques Steak in France and Sweet Rot in Canada:

• Andre Ethier “Copkiller – Infant King b/w Nothing is written in stone – Pride of Egypt” 12″ EP – Awesome new EP from one of our favorite musicians and ex-Deadly Snake Andre Ethier. Brilliant, sensible garage-R&B-pop music.
• Nerve City “S/T” LP – Another brilliant record from this lo-fi garage rocker. Like the Velvets dragged through the mud and recorded in a gas tank. Great follow up to our own 10″ last year.
• Shake Shake Bolino “Don’t lose your friends b/w Please Pony Please” – Awesome garage punk from a member of Cheveu. Blown out greatness with brilliant song structures. Highly recommended.
