MOST EXCELLENT RELEASES THAT YOU CAN PURCHASE
 |
Named after a stage banter promise made four years prior to the album's release, "Terminal Illness" is an ear blistering thrill ride. The guitar/rumble combination hits harder than ever and the drums rage like there is no tomorrow. The feedback screeches like you cannot believe and after awhile you realize your stereo can't handle the truth. The lyrics ride the mix like a buoy and hit on all of Wild Animalz favorite subjects: Nicolas Cage, pandemics, the FDIC, and more. You'd think with four years between albums they'd be able to come up with more than five tracks, but hey, no one's perfect. Who wants too much of a good thing, am I right?! MER presents this album as a 3" cd-r in a deluxe gatefold digipack. Also available on tape from FM Dust as a split with Mall Mutants. In a bizarre coincidence, this is the 32nd release in both catalogs! $5ppd

Wett Nurse plays the sort of fuzzed out organ centric rock'n'roll that seems so friendly when you sit down and listen to the album. If you're in the car maybe you'd open your sunroof and let the breeze run over your head, but beware! These songs are about Star Wars and demon wrestling and when you hear them live your ears ring for days. Wett Nurse may dial it down a notch on the album so you can hear the hooks, but don't let them fool you. Worships The Devil is a beast that cannot be tamed. 5" cdr in a screen printed digipack $5ppd | |||||

Consisting of one track entitled "Mother Process", Disney Channel Original Boner's debut condenses a 9 month journey into just 22 1/2 minutes. The track begins before conception and follows the development of the unborn child through its exit from the womb. Drums and creepy synths combine with really weird auto tuned vocals that provide both the narration and the inner monologue of the fetus in the most shrill way possible. It makes me glad I don't remember being a baby. Don't get me wrong through, this cd is awesome. Limited edition of 6. 5" cdr in full color crumpled mess $4ppd | |||||

Get up and shaky your body beats, trip out synth lines, and crumbling walls of noise combine for the ultimate summer dance party tape. It will distort your speakers and melt the energy dome you call your brain. Buy now! Don't experience regret for the rest of your life! Cassette tape in hard shell case $5ppd | |||||

If you liked "Vol. 2" prepare to have your mind blown. I Love Cats! are in full effect on this awesome 7". Matt showed up in Stevens Point with these records and they all said MOST EXCELLENT on them and I was like "OH CRAP!" Best surprise ever! These four songs were recorded for their ill fated debut tour and its a shame it didn't go better because I Love Cats! were tighter than ever. Now a three piece, I Love Cats! will tear up your record player with their vinyl melting garage rock and totally awesome next level reverb vocals that are practically an instrument unto themselves. I always knew these guys were going to do great things, I just didn't think it was going to be so soon! 7" record $6ppd | |||||

This album is amazing. Every song is bursting at the seams with multi-part harmonies, more instruments than you can shake a stick at, and hooks that stick in your head. Possibly the most well mixed album to ever appear on the MER roster, every element of Light Brigade is in the right place. When Cameron first gave me this album I listened to it over and over and totally forgot to ever put it on the website. Well, it's here now. What are you waiting for? Buy this and listen to it over and over and over and over and over. 5" cdr in jewel case $4ppd | |||||

Touching is the debut cd from Touch/No Touch, one of Stevens Point's latest and greatest bands. The songs on this cd are great. Melissa's playing is that weirdo kind of playing where she does her own thing and totally rules. She plays her thick strings like a bass while she goes to mathrockville on the higher strings. I heard that she never really rocked out until Scott got in there to drive the points home in rapid succession accenting them with beats that while simple make your head spin. Think about a math rock singer songwriter but less math and more rock, and then think about how you want to hear this cd. 5" pro replicated cdr, full color jewel case $5ppd | |||||

I've listened to a ton of punk records, and its pretty rare when you hear one that sounds like a punk record but doesn't sound like a rip-off. This first ever full length from the Secret Secretions manages to do avoid that trapping and it is all the more awesome because of it. The punk/reggae/surf fusion is totally bizarre when you first meet the Secretions, but everything comes together on the album with an intensity that is undeniably PUNK ROCK. Clocking in at just over 17 minutes, this cd blazes through all of their best songs which tackle everything from Scientology to the pointlessness of our modern existence. In short, this record slays. Also of note: the Secret Secretions wanted this to be released for free, so if you buy it online you're just paying for postage. cdr in digipack with foldout lyric sheet/poster $3ppd | |||||

Vol. 2 is the first "real" recordings of I Love Cats! and it rules. The tape is full of noisy basement "garage" rock echo jams that transcend the earlier Coachwhips homage I Love Cats! started out with. Wild drums, singing saws, and fuzzed out vocals make this tape a real keeper. Get it while its hotttttttttttttt. Cassette tape in hard shell case $5ppd | |||||

One of Stevens Points's finest, the Coral Riffs aka Colin Bares presents a five song mini album that I'm incredibly psyched about. Originally intended to be a concept album about abnormal psychology, these songs explore the connection between isolation and creativity. Armed with a guitar, stray field recordings, a drum or two, and an immaculate sense of timing, Colin made a recording that is more than the sum of its parts. If you've ever seen Good Grief you know that Colin is a great songwriter, but on this album his songs really shine. This is home recording at its finest! The Coral Riff's MER debut will change lives. Check it. 3" cdr in screen printed box *Covers vary in color* $5ppd | |||||

What's the Point? is a compilation of hot new Stevens Point, WI bands giving you a taste of what the town has to offer. Covering all areas of the musical map from folk to grindcore, WTP? is a collection of music by people who are excited about making things happen where they live. When I first moved to Stevens Point I didn't realize that so many good things were going on under my nose, so I decided to document what we had. All I wanted to do was to make a compilation, but what we wound up with is a recording of where we started before things got even better. cdr in screen printed digipack with 16 page booklet $6ppd | |||||

Throwing a party should be fun for everyone, including the host. Here's how to throw a successful party and enjoy it at the same time. This is the first album from the Ypsilanti, Michigan based Spooky Spooky Washington. 42 minutes of shimmering guitar lines, feed backing pedals, and massively delayed synth. Tension and release to the max! 5" cdr in sleeve $4ppd | |||||

You may already know Dan Daniels from his band the Rangers (if you don't you have been missing out). Dan does a bunch of songs in the style of the Beatles if they were Bob Dylan and lived in Marquette, MI and worked at Beef-a-Roo. Also: I hope we don't get sued because of the album title. 5" cdr in sleeve $4ppd | |||||

Finally, the promised baseball themed Electric Storm album is here! Five tracks spanning two years of tone work, whale sound tape loops, and live excursions. 41 minutes of noise. Comes with a 20th century baseball team logo sticker (while supplies last). 5" cdr in sleeve $4ppd | |||||

This is a live recording of Marquette's favorite surf band and the UP's greatest comedy noise rock duo ever. Both discs have had the crappy jokes edited out, so both sets are sure to stun you with how "on" the jokes are. Duct Ape's set has quite possibly the worst version of Pterodactyl ever recorded, because Houghton kids just don't get it.2 screen printed discs in a DVD case. How could you go wrong I ask? Two 5" screen printed cdr's in dvd case $7ppd | |||||

Clocking in at 53 minutes, the second album from the Mountain Brothers brings a delightful mix of songs from their own invented genres of noise grass and post grass. For those of you not in the know, noise grass is a mix of noise rock and blue grass, and post grass takes the traditional bluegrass song and joins it with post rock and no wave stylings. For this album Mike has kept his banjo, but Tyler has dropped his harmonica for an electronics setup your grandmother wished the bluegrass of her time had. With everything from sprawling noise to banjo solo numbers, this album is something you will not soon forget. Jewlcase + screen printed cd-rs. 5" screenprinted cdr in jewlcase $4ppd |
