"Rozz Rezabek is best known as the singer for the first wave San Francisco punk band Negative Trend, but he also cut a blistering batch of tunes after leaving that group that only surfaced as a bootleg CD release in 1998, attributed to Rozz and erroneously to his former band..."

Only incidentally chose a different band’s sophomore album featuring a silhouetted figure on a black background for today’s spin, this one from French underground Ye-Ye sweethearts The Limiñanas. Dank, fuzzy, sultry, groovy… whispers of Serge's 60s psych and on the iconic HoZac label.

Hozac Records 7” singles #musicsky #weekendsingles #vinylrecords #Hozac

Bought OTD in 1972: an all time favourite this one, not showing a trace of duress. It’s near perfection, love the pop tunes, the Crosby tunes, the phasing and the sheer white light of Change Is Now. Props to Ron Asheton for sampling Tribal Gathering’s minimalist guitar solo

Pop Matters posted this Michael Goldberg photo gallery of photos from my new book “Jukebox: Photographs 1967 - 2023.” Check it out and consider getting the book from HoZac Records online. And please share! www.popmatters.com/michael-gold...

Good mail day. A book this time. If you put out a book about a NZ musician on (or tangentially related to) Flying Nun Records, I will buy it. I am helpless. In this case, I also happen to be a massive fan of This Kind of Punishment.

LOTS of overlap here (give or take a few missing decades) with the @pastemagazine.bsky.social EP list (proud Paste alum BTW) and the one you can find in my HoZac Records book, #AnIdealForLiving. Which you can buy on Kindle or via: hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/ www.pastemagazine.com/music/greate...

Had I not already been privy to the pop-flavored catchiness of Heavy Times’ brand of lofi garage punk, I would’ve bought this album on sight based on the cover alone, but if I any doubt when I flipped the record over, the Hozac label would’ve then sealed the deal.

New vinyl. Burnt Envelope. Arrived yesterday but I was preoccupied with the foosball. Another hit from HoZac Records & Books. They had me at Red Cross

Looks like a nice lineup! Cool to see The Brides reuniting. Did you see HoZac Records is putting out a comp of their stuff? hozacrecords.com/product/brid...

rec of the day ROZZ REZABEK "1979 pop session" (hozac LP) legit ish of this post-negative trend session by their ex-vocalist. has a great uk/cali vibe w/ equal debts to darby and the rotten one, although the music is very west coast '79. but who's the band? hozacrecords.bandcamp.com/album/1979-p...
