Terror Visions - World of Shit extended LP.

Back in 2007 FDH record released the Terror Visions full length record "World of Shit". This project was a side project of Jay Reatard's that recorded tracks over a 4 year span near the end of the Lost Sounds and the start of his solo career. This was Jays studio harsh electropunk project. The original release of world of Shit was a picture disk LP with 12 tracks limited to 1000 copies and a CD with 2 extra tracks (14 songs total). For this reissue we are including the entire world of shit recording plus 2 previously unreleased tracks, 1 original and a cover of "Brian Eno - Babys on Fire". So this album will now be a 100% band discography. The album will be pressed only on vinyl (180 gram vinyl) and will feature a gatefold LP cover with new art. We are expecting to have this re-released in the November as long as everything goes according to plan. I normally dont do preorders however I will be doing one with this. We will be having a drawing and giving away a few copies of the test pressing to folks that do preorder the record. Stay tuned for more info soon.

Spring Update (part 2)

So last week when I made the update to the page I forogt to mention one of the upcoming releases. A new 7" for The Poppets! They are working on the recording now. That Poppets 7" and the Maybe Baby 7" are the next 2 things coming out. Im expecting to get them both into the pressing plant in May. We are shooting to have them both out for both bands tours this August.

Spring 2011 update

After a few mopnths of taking it easy its time to get things moving again. Here are some Updates.

Outer Minds - We are still on track to release this bands first full length sometime this year. This is a follow up to their 7"s on Hozac and Goodbye Boozy. I actually highly recommend checking out the Goodbye Boozy single. The band asked me to do that one originally and I told them forget the single lets do a LP. The band is working on recording the full length between touring in both this band and other bands.

Crusaders of Love - After seeing this band last year and hearing the LP on Douchemaster I knew I wanted to work with them. The have recorded some songs and will be doing some sort of record with me this year. We have talked about it possibly being a 7" of their own or a split 7". Im not willing to say what band the split may be with but I will say that their are shared members between Crusaders and this other amazing band.

Cum Stain - Heard this bands 7" on Florida's Dying and loved it right out of the gate. After then hearing the tape on Burger I knew I wanted them to do a FDH record. So a 7" is in the works.

White Wires - After flipping my shit over their new LP I asked a freind for their contact info. Turns out one of the band members has been a loyal FDH fan for years. Its for sure a while down the road as the band has other commitments but a 7" is planned for somewhere down the road.

We Aren't Friendly - Sadly this is not happening anymore.

Maybe Baby - So for years I have not been accepting demos. The other day I got one from this band and figured why not give it a listen. Within hours it was decided that this was gonna be on FDH. 2 new songs to follow up the 7" on Windian. These 2 tracks were recorded and mixed by Matthew Melton (Bare Wires / Snake Flower 2).

Demos - So after what has happened with Maybe Baby I have decided to take demos again. I dont take electronic demos so dont bother sending MP3'S or zip files. I had 1 harddrive fried from a demo that had a virus. If you would like to send a demo please see the contact info on the page.

New Releases now available & Overstock Clearance

TERMINAL GIRLS - "WEIRD LIGHTS" LP /MP3'S
A bass tone like a warped broadcast barely winning it's fight with am radio fuzz. A hypnotizing keyboard that sounds like someone crafted an infernal machine from the toy section of a resale shop. Hailing from Detroit, damaged new-wave duo TERMINAL GIRLS' debut Weird Lights LP on FDH records avoids the lo-fi trappings of layers and layers of tape hiss and clipping vocals buried in the mix to deliver something that's clean enough to bore itself right into your brain and dare you to drill a hole in your skull so it can escape. Become a cosmonaut from an alternate past that sets out on a voyage to deep space to find god's skeletal remains. That vast, empty boring part of outer space is no longer boring, and is more vast, more empty. You are so lonely and depressed that you want to commit suicide but Weird Lights force you to have a one man dance party instead. The beats drill into your body, reaching speeds that should be too fast to dance to but aren't. None of this makes you feel any better about freezing to death in your spacesuit, but you've lived for so long you can't care anymore. Like a less self conscious THE SCREAMERS, unconcerned with trying to sound punk and artsy, but they manage to do it effortlessly. Sometimes it becomes so catchy but alienated it could have come from some sewer dwelling mole-man mid 90s boy-band. FDH is unleashing TERMINAL GIRLS' Weird Lights LP early 2011, so you have about a year to listen to it every day before the world ends. Concerned you cant carry your LP around and listen to it everywhere? Don't worry, it comes with a free MP3 download code. Weird Lights is limited to 300 copies, so grab a copy before you have to fight some mutant for it. LP limited to 300 copies each with a free MP3 download code. Get a sneak peak of the song at terminalgirls.bandcamp.com ( press release written by Jon Carpus)


RAMMA LAMMA - "SELF TITLED" 7" / MP3'S
Where you were in 2002?

Were the Atom Smashers the band for you?

Wore a chain-wallet

And you thought you looked slick

Well all you goys really make me sick

As the sun mercifully sets upon the leaky bucket and ransom note tapestries of so much received punk rock wisdom– nothing good after ‘Nuggets’ and before ‘The Ramones,’ Status Quo looking better in lace than in denim, Rip Off Records being anything other than embarrassing – there now un-sprawls a veritable Fulda Gap of credibility wherein nothing is true and everything is remitted. A surfeit of space – a kind of scrub lebensraum interzone – wide open and just-fertile-enough to support the casting of whole new herds of sacred ceremonial cattle, fed/weaned upon the kind of wild assertions and mild-boogie-sauce-sounds previously confined strictly to the ghettoes and tree-houses of fetishistic, male-dominated DJ nights. Now it’s fetishistic niche rock ‘n’ roll; if not a new golden age for rock, at least a fresh cast of clichés!

Ramma Lamma! It’s obvious in every way; in its trappings, deliveries, references and band name. Subtle as a flying mallet, which, if you’re still taking your drinks mixed, indicates to me that you should probably stick to sipping daiquiris with your girlfriends and let this double-shot of sound alone. You may recognize the faces (Ex - Plexi 3 / Kill-A-Watts) and you may even recognize the names, but in the true spirit of budget Paul Gadd-style reinvention you’ll doubtful recognize the dance moves. Boogie! ‘Big Street Time’ (sung by Rye Anne) sounds like Mud’s ‘Dynamite’ arm-wrestling ‘Supersonic’ by Andy Bown in the zebra crossing to Hustler’s ‘High Street’ in the best hyperbolic sense of the compare (the lyrics are about partying). ‘True Life Stories’ (dulcetly delivered by Wynn Dee) brings to mind a lost track from ‘Submarine Tracks & Fools Gold’ with the guitar line sounding utterly Chiswick-ic (and the lyrics personally resonating with this failed soft-drugs user; they’re about partying too).

Whilst so many of their contemporaries continue to dig themselves ever deeper into a one-dimensional Sha Na Na pit of pizza, Whoa-Ohs and Bay Area pop-punk gold lame, Ramma Lamma choogle on down the line with the sweat of Frut, Flash Cadillac and the Flamin’ Groovies. If these guys were younger than me, I’d probably hate them. Recommended to fans of rock, ‘n’, roll and alcoholism.



SHOUT RAMMA LAMMA!

Are you a square?

How gray is your hair?

Are you a nerd?



Or just a garage punk turd?

7" Limited to 500 copies each with a free MP3 download code.Please note limited edition double 7" covers are not in stock so they will not ship for a few more weeks. Get a sneak preak of the songs at rammalamma.bandcamp.com

Winter Update part 2 (changes)

So a few things have changed.


City Sweethearts - This single will NOT be coming out on FDH. Its a shame cause the songs ruled however it just is not gonna happen (at least anytime in the near future)

We Aren't Friendly - Back a few years ago Shawn Foree (the mastermind behind Digital Leather) put together a live lineup in Phoenix AZ. This lineup ended up recording a bunch of stuff some DL songs some, some Cutters songs some demos. This stuff recorded live was labeled "WE AREN'T FRIENDLY" as it was a much rawer and live sound then the DL records from years past. These recordings never got a offical release and were somewhat forgotten till now. Later this Year FDH and Tic Tac Totally will be teaming up (after years about talking about doing a c0-release) and putting out a 7" of this stuff.More info on that down the road.

Everything else from winter update 1 still stands. I should have the Terminal Girls, Ramma Lamma, and Tokyo Electron stuff available in a week or so.

Winter 2011 update

Well here we are another year and still plugging along. 2010 was a good year for us. We got to release 9 records and plan on 2011 getting that number up to 12 records. We have alot of goodies coming soon here is what you can expect.

Terminal Girls
- We are so happy to be releasing this bands first offical release. Its a 12 song LP called "weird lights". Its for sure gonna fit right into the synth side of FDH. The album is due out by mid Jan and will be limited to 300 copies (with MP3 download included)

Ramma Lamma- A new band from Ryan and Wendy from Plexi 3. We will be doing a 2 song sigle limited to 500 copies. This is 1/2 of the bands first singles (the other out on Certifed PR. Their will also be a very limited version of both 7"s packaged together (limited to 75 copies). This record will also come with a free mp3 download code and is due out around Mid Jan

Tokyo Electron - AZ 238- About a year ago We co-released this record with Certifed PR. The first pressing of 500 sold quick so we are gonna get 200 more of these out their. This is likely the last pressing so dont sleep on it as each label will only have about 80 copies. This is due out in mid Jan also.

City Sweethearts - After a LP on P.Trash this Toronto based powerpop band is back with 3 new tracks. This time mixed&mastered by Young Guv to add a nice dirty vibe to the recording. This single blows the first LP out of the water and is due out in early spring (co-released with Resurrection records)

Outer Minds- These guys put out a great 7" on Hozac in 2010. They will be following that up with a LP this year. If you have not heard them check out the first single for a great 60's pop/psych vibe that the LP is sure to grow on. This one is due out in the spring and is go be co-released with Resurrection records





Misc FDH stuff - This year we are gonna try and make some changes to how we operate. Im still more or less a one man operation however I think I have found someone to help me with doing some web design. Im hoping to get the webpage to become alot more user freindly. Also from this point on we are planing on having FREE DOWNLOAD CODES WITH ALL NEW RELEASES! The fact is I would rather have people get the free download code and share that then a shitty vinyl rip. We also will begin to offer all new releases (and eventually back catalog) as MP3 sales. Im planing on doing it cheap also. The game plan is to ghave the tracks available for 1$ each and offer album downloads for 5$ and 7" downloads for 2$. More info on that coming soon.

FALL 2010 update

Been a while since the last update. Heres what we got going on.

Truthdealer - The new Truthdealer LP "The Contrarain" is due out within the next few weeks. This one is for sure a step more into the hardcore world then FDH has gone before. This one is gonna be limited to 500 and was split by a slew of record labels. Besides myself the following labels were also invoved - P.Trash, Resurrection, Huxtable, Suicide Bong, and Falcon Crest.


Ramma Lamma - The debut 7" from Ramma Lamma is coming right around the end of the year. Ramma Lamma is a new project from Wendy and Ryan from Plexi 3. The first single will be limited to 500 is sure to leave you wanting more. You can check out the bands myspace to get a taste of their vibe. However the 2 songs on the music player are not the songs from the upcoming debut single. http://www.myspace.com/rammalamma

Terminal Girls - This Detroit based synthpop / punk band just finished recording their first studio record. After getting my hands on their first 2 cdrs I knew I wanted to work with them. Then after having the chance to see them live this summer I offered to do a single for them. Well they recorded some songs and sent them over and I was blown away. So I said scratch the 7" lets do a LP. "Weird Lights" is the 12 track LP they recorded. This one will be limited to 300 on the first press and will be out around the new year. The band posted 2 tracks from the LP on their facebook. Check them out. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Terminal-Girls/301297639241?ref=ts#!/pages/Terminal-Girls/301297639241

Derek Lyn Plastic - The new single from Derek Lynn Plastic came out about a month ago. It was a co-release with Certified PR. Limited to 300 copies. I think Certifed PR might be out of them and Im down to about a dozen or so left. So grab one before they are gone.

Destruction Unit - The newest installment from Destruction Unit "Eclipse" came out about a month ago on vinyl. This LP is a co-release with Perfectly Round records. For this new record Ryan R got a new lineup for the band and moved into a much more Krautrock direction . With this rebirth of the band you get a totally different sound. Regardless of the fact that I helped release this it easily is one of my favorite records of the year.

Other stuff - We still have copies of the 3 releases from this sunner available. The Mickey 12" EP with limited diecut covers, Strange Attractor's 7" this is the bands first North American release, and the first full length from Phillies own Women as well as many items for the past few years are still available at www.fdhmusic.com as well as distros and stores worldwide. I also just found out this week that Red Devil records still has copies of the long out of print Terror Visions record (its listed under "Jay Reatard - world of shit LP " in their Ccatalog)

Distro-Im closing down the distro to make more room for FDH stuff and to focus more on the label itself. I started clearing everything out a month or so ago. Still got a good amount of great stuff left. Most LP's are 5$ and all 7"s are 1$ in the distro so grab some stuff while I still got it around.

NOW HIRING - So Im looking to add a few people to the FDH family (currently just me). Im looking to find 2 folks. One that can do web design for the label. The webpage needs a major rebuild and I just dont have the skill to do it myself. Im also looking for a person to write press releases for the label. Im looking for folks that would work for test pressings, and copies of records. Please drop me a e-mail if you might be interested.

Summer Updates

Mickey - 12"EP Out now. Out now. 6 songs. First pressing limited to 500 with die cut LP cover. Well over half gone. When this represses it will be a standard cover pressing so dont miss this limited cover version. They also have a brand new single on Florida's Dying that you should probably buy.

MICKEY 12" / STRANGE ATTRACTOR 7" / WOMEN LP

Women - No Reasons LP
Philadelphia's Women return with their first LP. This follows up their debut 7" that they released back in 2008. No Reasons blasts through 11 tracks, in only 20 minutes. Just as aggressive as Women's first release, yet more melodic at the same time. A perfect blend of garage punk and 80's hardcore. A must have for anyone's collection. Co-released between FDH and Resurrection Records. Limited to only 500 copies, each copy with a free download code for the album with a extra 2 tracks. Get it while it lasts! FDH-102


Strange Attractor - Just looking 7"
Just looking for another distraction? Check this out. Four new snotty garage punk rockers as a follow up to the German releases on P.Trash & Red Lounge. Three originals and a Nipple Errectors cover . More yelling, more hooks, and the lyrics keep getting more retarded. Night Bangers, Nite Sticks, 3rd AD's and bangin' chicks.Limited to 500 copies. FDH-103


Mickey - 12"EP
As long as there's still hips to shake and asses to move, Mickey will be there to rub it in deep and smother your world with their ineffable concoction of punk brilliance. The most promising new Chicago pop band since the Smith Westerns, these five individual odd fellows have unearthed the primal lunacy and indescribable glam irresistibility that has turned anyone who's seen them into blathering idiots, ready to swallow every stray flung drop of slimy sweat dripping from their guitar necks. After last year's impeccable debut 7" on HoZac and their devastating trip through the wilderness of South by Southwest's seedy underbelly, they turned enough heads and converted so many people, that I finally felt like it wasn't just us that was crazy for their inebriated, yet exasperatingly unique undulating glitter-pop formula.

Just like when GG Allin covered The Ohio Express' "Up Against The Wall" during his early pop fascination period, it's the truly unorthodox filtration of influences that generates unbelievable results like these, and Mickey does it all with the trashy finesse of a sanitation worker at an art gallery. Crushing boring predictability and shoving raw sewage into a powerful pop-art format that sends chills down the spine and makes it fun for the whole family.

This week, FDH Records unleashes the Mickey 12" EP, featuring six serrated songs that will etch their name even deeper into your brain, causing eyeballs to pop and eardrums to throb simultaneously for the duration of each side, with already-classic tracks from their live set such as the rollicking "Space Case" and the very well possibly FU2-inspired "Electric Dreams," both of which have sent many a crowd into a mouth-foaming frenzy on many an occasion. Bands like Mickey seem to only happen when the planets of the universe align a certain way, but as their songs and overall persona continue to build to massively impressive levels, there's really no telling how far they can go, but we can only stand back and watch in awe as they level everything in their path. First pressing with a limited edition die cut LP cover limited to 500 copies (die cut cover will only be on the first pressing edition). FDH-104

Spring Updates

Well as normal time for another update. Heres what we have going on.

Doctor Scientist The Debut LP from this band came out a few weeks ago. This one is a co-release with P.trash records and only 300 copies were pressed. P.Trash will be getting their copies within the next month or so, but we have our copies here and ready to go. About half our copies have sold so far.

Black Bug This bands first LP came out in early 2010. We sold our copies real quick and this is kind of sold out for the moment. I actually still have a box of 50 LP'S sitting here but Im out of covers. I will be getting a reorder of covers sometime in the next month or so. Once I get the covers I will be putting this one back up for sale. If all goes as planned we will then be pressing a couple hundered more lp's on color wax as a second pressing. If your interested in getting a copy of the first press copies I have send me a e-mail (erictheill@yahoo.com) and I will let you preorder one of the last 50 first pressings. However understand that the wait for this will likely be 4-6 weeks.

Gape Attack The Burn this City 7" co-released with Skrot Up is now back in press. Only 100 of them thi press on clear wax.

Mickey After a 7" on Hozac this bands first 12" EP is in pressing now. Its really a amazing 6 song 12" EP. Since I feel so strongly about the greatness of this band and record we went above and beyond the norm on this one. The LP cover is gonna be a really great looking die cut cover. This one is sure to move quick and we are only doing 500 as a first press so make sure to keep your eyes peeled for this ones release. It should be out in a month or so.

Strange Attactor One man project from Jeff from Statues. IM very excited to have the chance to do this bands first North American release (currently have a 12" on red lounge and a split 10" on P.Trash).The single coming out features 3 new tracks and a cover of a Nips song. For sure a great record. This one is also coming in a month or so.

Women One of if not Philly's best punk band is back on FDH with their first full length to follow up their debut single we did about a year and a half ago. Great group of songs this time a bit more melodic then their first single but still packing a punch. This one is a co-release with Resurrection records in Cali.

OVERSTOCK CLEARANCE Im lowering the price of a bunch of older releases to make some room in the FDH HQ (my bedroom) for new releases. Check out new lower pricing on a bunch of our older releases. I will only keep this pricing per item at these rates until my stock it low (under 25 copies remaining) then they go back up to the normal pricing. Items on sale are the following - Earthmen and Strangers LP, Kidnappers LP, Mac Blackout LP & Poppets 12" EP

MISC STUFF
So far I am on track of keeping up with my goal of doing 12 vinyl release in 2010. We have a few more records in the works right now that Im very excited about. Im not gonna give away the details quite yet but just take my word that we have more great stuff in the works to follow up this next round of wonderful records.

I have alot of distro work to do. Tons of records that I have gotten in and just not had time to add to the distro. So make sure you check back from time to time on the distro as I have so much stuff to add that its not even funny. One of these days I will catch up.

Also we got in a small stack of FDH tote bags a month or so ago. We are selling them for 6 bucks or giving them away with any order of 100$ or more.

Late Winter Update

Well its been a few months since the last update so I figured it was about time.

1. Black Bug's debut full length came out in late Jan. We did 500 lp's down to about 100 left or so. This record is 15 tracks including 12 unreleased ones and a few from their debut CDR.

2. Gape Attack! released their debut 7" on FDH and Skrot up earlier this year also. Only did 300 as the first pressing. Got a handful left of the first pressing. Repress is in the works now.

3. Doctor Scientist's first full length "Prehistoric Times" came out on CD just this week. The LP is due out in April. This one is co-released with P.Trash here is a write up about the record.
"Post-apocalyptic screams, blips, and guitars thrash their way into a burnt-out landscape of digital future-past. Where dance beats and laser guns are one and the same, and where both aid in battling the warlords, robocops, and dinosaurs roaming the refuse of our cities and towns. Such is the weird world that the Philadelphia-based band, Doctor Scientist, has offered its loyal listeners since 2007's this changes everything. Now, with 2010's Prehistoric Times, that world is made both more prehistoric, more apocalyptic, and somehow both more brutal and more danceable. The band's fourth member, the robot, has taken a holiday to 808ville and has come back from vacation with the some of the most beastly beats and drum loops available to human ears. Adding bass guitar unto the barrage of these beats, guitar shreds, and curdled android howls gives Prehistoric Times a fuller, more enveloping sound. Doctor Scientist’s odd electronic world now seems that much closer, as these songs throw listener's right into the thick of a digital battlefield. The two singers shriek over and along with each other, and allow for a dynamic call to arms made triumphantly complete with hardcore style breakdowns, marching barks of command, and even a few moments of metal edge. Think Kraftwerk in the mosh pit, or West Coast synthpunk with a violent, unhealthy addiction to Gorilla Biscuits from the year 3030. This new album, due out in April on FDH and P. Trash Records, is a must have for those who want to make ready for the maniacal end of the new world - or the fuming, dancing, brutal beginning of an old one."

4. Tokyo Electron AZ 238 LP came out a few months back. That one was a co-release with Certified PR. We did 500 of them and they are real close to gone. Maybe 2 or 3 copies left. It may get repressed down the road that a maybe. I would recommend grabbing one of the last few if you want to ensure you get one.

5. Got a few records about to go into pressing this month. The first full length from Women who did their first 7" on FDH about a year and a half ago. A single from Strange Attractor 7" they released a 12" on Red lounge recently and have a split 10" coming out on P.Trash any day now. And a 12" EP for Mickey who just released their first single on Hozac. After that stuff comes out next into pressing is the Terror Visions world of shit extended LP. This will be a compete Terror Visions Discography including the entire world of shit album (including the bonus tracks that were originally released on the CD only), plus the 2 unreleased tracks from the band (one of them being a Brian Eno cover track)

6. Tons of stuff in the works for after this but that sort of cover the now and near future. If you would like to be added to the FDH mailing list please e-mail me at erictheill@yahoo.com

MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL reviews - Earthmen and Strangers / Mac Blackout / Poppets

Got the new issue of MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL today. I was really happy with all 3 reviews they put in for the last batch of lp's we put out.

Mac Blackout - The Western Blue LP - The second solo release fr AC BLACKOUT is a less angry, more listener-friendly journey into the music of the FUNCTIONAL BLACKOUTS / DAILY VOID songwriter. There are some BLANKDOGGIN' / REATARD sounds going on in these snippets of brainstorming, but noone came mistake BLACKOUT's brand of on-the-verge crazy. The style ranges poppy to strangely upbeat to weird, noisy, purposefully out-of-tune and back again, but as we've become accustomed to in other projects, the vocals are a reverbed, sinister juxtaposition to any happy here. At times the demented takes you for a loop, but strangely it's extremely accessible. (AL)

Earthmen and Strangers - self titled LP - I love when bands bridge the gap between punk and indie without losing or getting lost in any of the above genre's charm. These Arizona boys come off as a lost treasure on flying nun records whilst taking in some of its neighbor's (RADIO BIRDMAN and the SCIENTISTS) hook-driven pull. I'd almost put my imaginary house on it these boys rock the CLEAN and the VERLAINES every second day whilst blasting the WIPERS in between. Not a single duffer; every track becoming an instant new fad, sounding old in the warmest sort of way, a beautiful tonic to the worst Monday bluesI've ever had. Now I'm off to spread the word: We have found this year's best record. (SD)

Poppets - UTMARKEN 12" - Eight tracks of squeaky, lo-fi new wave-inspired punk rock. It's brief, it's catchy, it's got the hooks, the charm, and the dancefloor-filler appeal. DIGITAL LEATHER without the digital, hints of BOBBY UBANGI with a heavy helping of the nerds-without-diplomas polish of NODZZZ (SD)


Still got copies of all 3 records available. Less then 100 of the first pressing of Earthmen and Strangers left. Still have a handful of mailorder versions of the Mac Blackout and Poppets records left. visit www.fdhmusic.com to order any of these.

Once we are done we will have a cart system in place and better distro setup and hopefully overall a more user freindly system with some lower pricepoints for our music. We also will be adding most of our releases to a bunch of online mp3 services for the folks out their that dont own record players.
