Tiger Bones and France has the Bomb on ShitSandwich records

It has been a while since the Sandwich has come out with one of their singles...I think the last one was Nanox, so I'm glad to see their still in the game here with this split from Tiger Bones. The track on this single isn't on the myspace but the track 'Folder' is heavy on the echo vocals...that crappy far away on a PA sound behind wobbly waving in and out rhythm guitar and what sounds like some kind of piano banging away. They have another track on their own site here.
France has the bomb came to me by way of the Hozac club...or maybe their 3 pack? I forget.... the green cover one....they all came together.
Open Wound is their track, which is on their myspace...lots more distortion echo vocals, lots of yelling really blowing it out. Their mix is harsher, treble up ...cymbals, higher melodies twanging...these two guitars are working in that separate but equal way. They ride between garage record it now and studio indie rock.

From an email from the ShitSandwich a few days ago:
Long Time No Shit
It's been a while since you've heard from us, luckily our newest release is a twofer. Side A features Chicago's own Tiger Bones (formerly known as Gay Baby [yes, really]) with low-budg, hazy and dazzling howls, not to be taken seriously. Side B's got France Has The Bomb, featuring members of pretty much every band that ever graced Minneapolis garages (well at least in the last few years...no Replacements, Husker Du or Prince). Dudes from Sweet Jap, White+Outs, Birthday Suits, Soviettes, the list goes on and on. Each band does their own twist on the lo-fi thing, from the dirgy, driving jam of Tiger Bones' "Walk Right" to the catchy, but brooding France Has the Bomb cut "Open Wound." 100 on white colored vinyl for mailorder only - LIMIT ONE PER CUSTOMER. You know the drill. Orders of two will be filled with one white, one black. Ok, awesome. Order it. Wheee.

Happy 4th of July! I'm going to see if fireworks and records mix.

Nanox on shit sandwich

My favorite named label... I think listening to WFMU once the DJ said something about shit sandwich like ' I guess the kids are pressing records again'. Well fuck yea. They are... now unwrap it and eat it. Shouldn't the kids be pressing records? It was kind of condescending...oh well, you're playing them so...I hope you liked it.
The kids at Shit Sandwich are releasing this colored vinyl, Nanox on the world. They iare Japanese and called punk, I guess, it's weird what gets lumped together as punk, I don't know what to call it either and another subcategory? Well, I guess that's the best we can do. This is described as early XTC? Maybe I missed that period because this doesn't remind me of them at all. Heavy on keyboards at times. Undecipherable lyrics, but most deinitely an oddity, kind of too heavy on the fun pop for my liking, but I can appreciate the effort. Go listen to the myspace before you drunkenly order like I did.
Shit Sandwich

From the Land of the Rising Shit Sandwich, we present our second record in S.S.'s International Series (insert shitake mushroom pun here). NANOX delivers awesome, quirky, keyboard driven, neo wave Japanese-ness in the vein of early XTC. Three songs that make me want to use words like 'angular' to describe music. And the cover is kick ass too. 100 on ice blue vinyl for mailorder only - LIMIT ONE PER CUSTOMER. If you order two, you will get one colored and one black.
