SONIC TRASH
"HEY CHICA!" CD/LP (2012)(STR-010)
"Hey Chica!!" is the first Sonic Trash album, the new adventure of David
Hono after four albums and several years on the road with his former band Ya te
Digo.
An impressive declaration of principles with the scent of the 90's best
sounds. They remind us to bands like Screaming Trees, Afghan Whigs or Jane's Addiction
although not forgetting other classics like the Velvet Underground or the Stooges.
The band show us all their cards in "Hey Chica!!" where they mix English and Spanish in
the lyrics, creating a varied and homogeneous concept. Sharp-edged riffs, acid
lyrics and crazy rythms are their credentials. Soldiers of gaupasa waiting in the
trenches. We hope you enjoy it, cabronazos.

JACOBITES "THE OTTER SONG / APARTMENT TO COMPARTMENT" 7"single (2011)(STR-008)
Nikki Sudden and Dave Kusworth, or what is the same, the Jacobites, were formed in the early 80's as one of the most special and essential bands that arose from the underground British scene. Sunthunder Records is proud to be part of the small velvet universe contained in this 7", which contains two unreleased songs by Sudden & Kusworth.
On one side we have a tune that Nikki recorded in 2003 with his friend Joey Skidmore and other French artists. "The Otter Song" keeps the intensity of the greatest Sudden moments, with a remarkable John Rivers as engineer/producer for most of the discography by this Birmingham lot.
So what's on the other side? Dave Kusworth's "Apartment to compartment", an early-day classic on the Jacobites set list, a Rock & Roll smack in the purest Rolling Stones' "Exile on Main Street" style Recorded in Spain with Los Tupper, a Spanish support band that fits the Jacobite sound like a glove.
"Love stories failed and consumed in full ashtrays, shattered dreams as the last bottle of Chardonnay crashes against the ground while the light of a new morning comes through the curtains amongst a sweet hangover".

KEVIN JUNIOR "RUINS" CD (2009)(HPR-013 // STR-006)
"Ruins" (a collection of rarities, b-sides & outtakes): Altough the name Kevin Junior may not yet be the household name it deserves to be, anyone seriously into the best American indie bands of the last ten years will surely get excited if you name them The Chamber Strings. As it is the band was formed in 1997 by Kevin (singer/songwriter/guitarist, a native of Akron, Ohio) in Chicago. But Kevin has quite a long career behind him, and "Ruins" traces an alternative story through its 19 rare or unissued tracks recorded by Kevin under different guises in the last 20 years: The Mystery Girls (1986-1992), The Rosehips (1992-1996) and The Chamber Strings (1997- present time) and on his own. Kevin has opened up his vaults to reevalute his long career, and the result is a collection that will serve both the long standing fans, who will find plenty to rejoice in, and the newcomers who will discover the amazing talent of one Kevin Junior.

GIL ROSE "STAR AU SOTO BAR" CD (2012)(STR-009)
For his first offence, some years ago, Gil Rose claimed he was King of nothing. A clear statement and a real good start. Backed by Les Hydropathes in some Nino Ferrer / Ronnie Bird sixties-garage way. For this new one, he's now Star au Soto Bar. At last! Such an improvement. In between, you'll find a couple of others records. Less revival, much more sarcastic. Coming with a non-stop obsession for refinement and ironic peculiarity. Sometimes haunted by Nikki Sudden, Johnny Thunders or long time forgotten old bluesmen. But, above all, mainly Gil Rose. He's one of a kind. Logical next step was going alone. Offering the substantial. Closer to the bone. That's what "Soto bar" is all about. Bare record, full of imagination. A whole world. With great melodies. Less is more! Recorded and produced by none than Wreckless Eric, a legend by himself. Some fascinating bittersweet love songs and an handful of neurotic mocking ones. Add a cathartic celebration of western B- movie. Probably shooted in Spain. And even a couple of bossa nova. The guy HATES routine !! And reinvent what he likes about rock'n'roll. Something one part primitive, one part smart. And funny. With booze, women and tenderness. Doin' it his way. Informal. He's right!

DAVE KUSWORTH "TAMBOURINE GIRL" CD (2008)(ST005)
Some people change, and some others never do. Dave Kusworth is one of the last ones. Always faithful to his roots along a career of more than 30 years, he still lives by and for rock'n'roll. He began with T.V. Eye in 1977, formed The Hawks in 1979, and became a member of The Dogs D'Amour in 1983. In 1984 he took the partnership of Nikki Sudden in The Jacobites and in 1987 he formed his own band The Bounty Hunters.
Sunthunder Records is proud to announce the release of "Tambourine girl", his last work. A 12 tracks digipack compilating some rarities, demos and outtakes by the Bounty Hunters and his solo career with The Tenderhooks, collected by Dave himself. Don't miss your chance to get this piece of history!
