Your Tongue or Your Life
4-song CD/EP $5

Release Date
November 19, 2005

"Full-throttle jams stop and turn on a dime, easing into quieter, more melodic reprieves. Montgomery's guitar is fluid, forever searching and investigative, while Schmidt and McCarty seem to know instinctually when to pummel and when to caress. Although one does hear 'voices' now and again, the absence of a singer puts the focus squarely on the music."

Devised Without A Plan
8-song CD/LP $8

Release Date
November 15, 2005

"Bogner's drums crush, urgent, yet precise. Schmidt's bass thunders along, deep and fervently pulsing. Chris Charlton's guitar lines weave in and out of the hammering rhythms laid down by his band mates to steer the tunes to careening highs and lows. The songs nearly burst off of the disc, pushing, pulling and building tension before exploding."

14-song CD/LP $5

Organelle

Release Date
September 14, 2004

"The title Organelle refers to a specialized part of a biological cell analogous to an organ in the body that floats in the cytoplasm and carries out specific functions vital to existence. Huh? What they're trying to say in the liner notes of the well-paced, split label alt-rock meets post-grunge compilation is that every music sperm on this disc is sacred. Fourteen veteran indie bands display their best wares here and the results are mostly captivating. Ampline evokes early 'Placebo' in the tortured "Red and Yellow Can Harm a Fellow." DIY rockers thistle belt out "Wildest Coat-Tails" with a furious rush of linear distortion and time-tested garage rock bravado. Rollercoaster dynamics, harrowing guitar breaks and furious drum beats fuel El Gigante's epic, "Who's Lost Their Everything?." And there's plenty more where that came from in the ranks of Save Your Servant and State Bird catalog. Who says indie rock is dead?

Miniature American Model Society

Release Date
July 13, 2004

"Odd, shambling, quirky indie rock which veers from flanged distortion to gentle melodies. To get an idea of the kind of broad, sweeping musical spectrum this record covers, it incorporates elements of psychedelia, power pop, rock, electornica -- and that's literally the tip of the iceburg. I can hear Big Star, Primal Scream, the Butthole Surfers, Pavement...this list could go on, but what it boils down to is that there are only a handful of contemporary artists that are this ambitious and diverse. Chalk this disc up to a hugely unexpected surprise, which is surprisingly good."

The Light Wires

Release Date
November 25, 2003

"Seasoned with pain and tales of Midwestern living, The Light Wires are led by guitarist Jeremy Pinnell and excel at updating Springsteen's Nebraska. Like a side road that follows the freeway, you get to take in all the scenery without having to speed up. That is to say that the songs allow you to savor their taste without wishing for louder guitars or quicker tempos, leisurely – yet with conviction – enveloping you."

Release Date
July 15, 2003

"thistle is DIY-certified indie rock. After creating their own label Tiberius Records, thistle subsequently released several albums and EPs in an effort to solidify their energy into tangible, eyes-wide-open rock. And they score a big goal with Tired Anchor, which is guaranteed to keep breathing fresh air into the scene. Lyrically, this could be their best album to date and they back up with a sonic array of musicality not seen for quite some time. I guarantee you'll love it and you`ll be coming back for more, cuz "Passion's a real motherfucker", and thistle is chock full."

Release Date
May 25, 2002

"Wasn't sure what to expect when I put this in the cd player. Fairly driving yet melodic post hc exploring both dissonance and dynamic extremes in dual guitar, instrumental format. The songs here manage to be catchy and move quickly. Ampline's use of dynamics and song arrangements make for a disc that is very listenable."

You won't notice anything special about thistle until you really start listening; this isn't pop music. thistle creates music you can fall into, and it just gets better with every listen."

"Six great-sounding songs from this band which plays in the emo new wave. Power pop with just enough stridency to sound punk. Thick and juicy. The songs themselves are tightly constructed and played with controlled abandon. Did I mention how good this sounds? Most bands would kill to have such a lustrous, full sound." .

"thistle takes the wiry irony of the dB's and R.E.M. and runs it all through the distortion of your parents' Magnavox (after you've thrown it out the window and smashed it on the driveway). Their Tremble Kisser just about foams at the mouth with alt-rocker angst, pissiness, and black humor."
