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.
