Protex
Formed in Belfast in 1978, Protex were one of the pioneers of the Belfast Punk Movement. They quickly came to the attention of Rough Trade Records who released Don’t Ring Me Up to wide acclaim. This in turn led to the band signing for Polydor Records who released the singles I Can’t Cope, followed by I Can Only Dream.
Slander Tounge
Slovenly Recordings welcomes Berlin, Germany’s suave rock’n’roll true-believers SLANDER TONGUE to their stable of international beat group sensations! On their debut, self-titled LP we have a heady brew of solid gold Real Kids vibes, with guitar solos that don’t allow for the passing of urine during between-song pauses. Think of Johnny Thunders sharing a ride with Fred “Sonic” Smith, while Ian Hunter and Chris Bailey are drunk in the backseat howling along to a beat up tape of “Goat’s Head Soup.” Birthed at a sonic orgy in the V.I.P. closet at Berlin’s famed Wowsville haunt, Slander Tongue slithered out to the crowd as a four headed beast with its ass planted firmly and forevermore at the bar. With lead duties vociferously handled by Automatic Axel of Bikes / Modern Pets, and propelled by King Khan and his Shrines sticks man Johnboy Adonis together with local roll-idols Klaus H. and Chico M., Slander Tongue has got its rhythm stripped down to the bare essentials, and their bluesy boogie set to wiggle ya from a grimy dancefloor to the boudoir. After a double-45-debut on WILD WAX RECORDS and BACHELOR RECORDS, SLANDER TONGUE realized their debut LP through SLOVENLY RECORDINGS in February 2020. Their brandnew single “Ride / Lockdown” is to be released in February 2021.
