.......................................................................................................................................................The SS roster includes many fine bands from the great mid-west, many whom have been gigging for years, some even have releases on other labels, but that's ok. Included with the brief descriptions are sound clips in the Real Audio format. Hell, some of these fine folks may be your friends, lovers, neighbors, and/or roommates and we think that is ok too.
So have a listen. Some stores even stock these titles. More press, and ordering information, is available on these in the Info section.

Giraffe Boy: The Carlotta EP
Stellar four track abilities from this Chicago trio. Vocals up, nothing tweaking you to dig their catchy pop structure. Very similar to early Sebadoh (III).
Stare At The Babe

Creeper: New - Hit Single / Think For Yourself
The Creeper plays as a one man band. He plays the bass drum with his right foot, hi hat with the left and acoustic guitar. He'll strap on a harmonica just when you think there is enough going on.

Flipping Hades: One Soul Crushing Defeat After Another
Prickly guitar picking clinging onto Devo rhythms w/sauced post-grad frustration.
"When your fetal and you're watching the fallopian tube, don't you wonder if the snow is your father's seed?"
Always Cease To Amaze

Bassholes: Interzone / Yea Heavy And A Bottle Of Bread
"Each Bassholes release has offered up fine
unrefined distillations of Howland's various likes,
from Skip James to disco, the Germs to Bob Dylan,
and back," - Matador Records. And, yeah, that first track is a Joy Division cover.
Yeah Heavy And A Bottle Of Bread

Monster Zero: Spy vs Spy / Stupid Man
The tracks remind one of Versus or good era Sonic Youth digging for sounds most Columbus bands can't seem to muster up.
Stupid Man

Big Foot: Fucked In The Head / Too Drunk To Say
"Loose, rootsy/bluesy/surfy country rock,
haunting, soulful and beautiful," - Joel Treadway.
Fucked In The Head

My Uncle Wayne: Beat Hits 7"
"They are a bit like a rusty-chain link fence Sonic Youth or a more deconstructed Flaming Lips,
think 'so happy together' era Grifters and you're playing ball," - Anyway Records.
