Seattle’s MONSTERWATCH Release Debut 7″ “/\/\”!

Seattle’s MONSTERWATCH has been dominating the post-punk/garage scene for quite some time. Building an exciting repertoire through their highly captivating live shows, this raucous trio unleash a whirlwind of sound that commands their audience to move – whether they’re ready or not!

Their Greenway debut, “/\/\,” features two explosive tracks, delivering a raw, high-energy blast of distortion and adrenaline. Known for their frenetic shows and unfiltered sound, the band channels pure chaos into their first 7″, fusing breakneck riffs with anthemic hooks. “/\/\” proves once again why they’re considered one of the most electrifying forces in modern punk. Buckle up, cuz this one hits hard!

We’ve excited to have this limited 7″ pressed up on ‘Up The Middle’ 50/50 Vinyl and there are only 100 copies!

Primitive Ring . CR - Kaz Mirblouk

Welcome Primitive Ring to the GWY Galaxy!

We are beyond stoked to welcome Los Angeles power trio Primitive Ring to the Greenway family.

Primitive Ring consists of Bert Hoover (Hooveriii, GROOP), Jon Modaff (JModaff, Hooveriii, GROOP), and Charles Moothart (Fuzz, GØGGS). The three LA based musicians found each other in a collective state of high functioning de evolution, and collectively agreed to bend the knee to the primal instincts of melody and rhythm. Primitive Ring started when the three members realized their worlds were organically converging. Seeking a new well to pitch the mental bucket in search of creative fluidity, the choice became obvious: start a new band. “Bring in the new” is not to say “Out with the old”. It is to continue the story and elaborate on the plot.

A band of three individuals (ring) tapping in to their collective sound (ring) to form a solid bond (ring) in which to burn away superfluous modernity (ring). Rock and roll is for everyone and belongs to no one.

“In The Ground / Golden In Your Eyes” represent some of the very first recordings as a group and damn do they hit the gas pedal strait out the gate!

We’ve got this limited 7″ pressed on ‘Primitive Ground’ Green Swirl Vinyl and there are only 100 copies.

Frankie and the Witch Fingers BONEHEAD - COVER ART - 3000px (1) i-candy

Frankie and the Witch Fingers Release New Singles ‘Bonehead’ & ‘i-Candy’

Frankie and the Witch Fingers have marked their triumphant return with “Bonehead” & “i-Candy,” their first new offering since last year’s landmark LP Data Doom.

‘Bonehead’ is a primitive, buzzy thumper, raw and stripped down,” the band says. “In a world where it’s easy to add more, we had a blast cooking out the junk and keeping it potent and pure. We wanted to capture the chaotic energy of those unfiltered live moments. Recorded the basics in one take, warts and all. Thrashing around with a crowd of free spirits reminds us we can push back against the parasitic noise trying to keep us controlled—this is a little slice of that in recorded form”

After the release of the brutally raw “Bonehead,” Frankie and the Witch Fingers continue to preview their new music by sharing the double AA side single, “i-Candy,” which premiered October 8th on KEXP’s Midday Show. “i-Candy” kicks off with a synth- induced groove that turns into full-on relentless riffs, soundtracking an objectified robot’s vengeance.

“Bleeps and bloops tightly wound around a precise dystopian punk nodder, these were the magic digits we needed to punch in to bring ‘i-Candy’ to life,” the band explains. “This was one of the first songs to emerge from the incubator of recent demos. ‘i-Candy’ is a female sex robot, she isn’t programmed for any man’s need; she’s out to clean up the streets and settle the score in blood.”

“i-Candy” and “Bonehead” are just the first taste of the band’s upcoming new work. “Bonehead” was named Consequence’s Heavy Song of the Week, with Jon Hadusek saying, “The Cramps-y riffs are sped up and played with grit, and the vocals waver naturally around the melody as if they’re sung by someone backed by the loose energy of a raucous rock n’ roll band.” Look out for more news on upcoming music, and catch the band live at their headline tour dates and festivals this fall.

Nice Biscuit Release New Album SOS!

We are stoked to announce SOS, the sophomore album from Nice Biscuit. This release reflects on the seemingly impossible feat of finding calm and balance in a chaotic world and the many emotive responses that embroil. Sometimes we feel hopeful and grateful, pessimistic and desolate, mournful and angry, sometimes we feel that love can solve it all and sometimes we just become overwhelmed and apathetic about everything. SOS captures these shifts as each song swings between poignant, apoplectic and optimistic lyricism and instrumentation. With SOS, Nice Biscuit have continued to evolve their songwriting and arrive at a more succinct and focused outcome with emphasis on, driving grooves and rhythmic repetition layered with catchy vocal hooks. SOS was released on October 4th 2024 via The Reverberation Appreciation Society / Greenway Records in North America and Fuzz Club / Bad Vibrations in Europe.

Since the release of their debut LP in 2018, Nice Biscuit have founded a unique style of psych-rock influenced by krautrock, garage and modern psych. Nice Biscuit transcends the classic psych hallmarks of fuzzy guitars and repetitive rhythms with the performance and vocal harmonies of co-front women, Billie Star and Grace Cuell (Baby Cool) who use constant harmonies throughout each song to create a distinct voice within the sonic landscape of Nice Biscuit. A trademark of Billie and Grace includes creating, and designing outfits which draw you further into a world of their making. With layers of swirling harmonies, precise instrumentation and striking visuals, Nice Biscuit has garnered a reputation for captivating live shows and immersive song writing.

Nice Biscuit has won converted support slots with King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Wet Leg, Altın Gün, The Murlocs, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Jen Cloher, Allah Las plus festival slots at VIVID Sydney Festival, The Long Sunset, Jungle Love, A Festival Called Panama, King Gizzard’s Timeland Festival, Splendour in The Grass and more. Nice Biscuit has also toured internationally in the UK and Europe landing festival spots at The Great Escape (where they were listed on NME’s ‘10 new bands to watch’), Wide Awake Festival (UK), Supersonic (FRA), Liverpool City Sounds (UK), Portsmouth Psych Fest (UK) and performed headline shows across the UK and EU.

Welcome Brooklyn’s Dead Tooth & Tea Eater to the GWY Galaxy!

We are so stoked to bring you two brand new 7”s to the Greenway Galaxy! These are some of our favorite local artists and we are so excited to be able to bring their music to your turntables (on beautiful wax of course).

The first up is Booklyn’s 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐡 and their Greenway debut 7” 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐡𝐨𝐨, pressed up on ‘Sweet Tooth’ Black & Blue Swirl Vinyl & Limited to 100 copies!

Side A is the crowd-favored, sax-laden, art-punk odyssey “Birthday Boohoo” – a five-minute long, groove heavy high-energy assault on the senses that’ll leave you with a sore neck and some debilitating synesthesia. Produced by Tom Beaujour (Nada Surf, Juliana Hatfield) the track weaves psych-rock, post-punk  and jazz into a frazzled narrative about the horrors of encountering your own surprise birthday party on a heroic dose of mushrooms.

The B-Day B-Side, a demonic remix by 𝐀 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬, pulls you deeper into said hellish trip with a soundscape like something John Carpenter cooked up in an acid lab.

Pre-order Dead Tooth’s “Birthday Boohoo” now!

Next up is NYC’s 𝐓𝐞𝐚 𝐄𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 and their Greenway debut 7” “𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐛/𝐰 𝐍𝐘 𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡” and it’s limited to 100 copies on ‘Technicolor Rash’ Splatter Vinyl!

No one’s more fun in the post (or present) apocalypse than Tea Eater. Fronted by Tarra Thiessen of Gustaf and Sharkmuffin, the New York City-based art punk band has made significant waves with frenetic performances, surf-rock-on-Neptune grooves and sucker punch tracks about hating the DMV.

Tea Eater have made a name in the Brooklyn music scene & beyond with their energetic shows & DIY drive. Since 2022 they have toured extensively; opening for Thee Oh Sees, releasing a split 7” with Chicago rockers Waltzer, touring the east coast/midwest, and completing a month long UK/EU tour including Kaltern Pop Festival, Cinetol Festival in Amsterdam, and headlining shows in Paris, Angers, Berlin and London.

Tea Eater started 2024 with the release of a remix of “Cosmic Coconut” by David Sound Wizard on a limited-edition star-shaped 7-inch vinyl. In February they had a residency in LA. In July they released an alternate version of “Fuck the DMV” and a cover of Liam Lynch’s “United States of Whatever” exclusively on Bandcamp, donating all sales to the NY Coalition for the Homeless. They toured the Midwest on their way to Mothland’s Distorsion Festival in Montreal. Additionally, Tea Eater released 7 music videos for songs off of their first record, Obsession. This October, they are set to release two new singles with Greenway Records before embarking on a 3 week European tour.
