Ambulanz – III 12″ EP (It’s Eleven Records)
Judging by their latest 12” release, III, Ambulanz from Leipzig are less concerned with saving your life and more interested in seeing how close they can push you to the edge before you have a complete, joyous freakout.

Dez Dare‘s fifth full-lenght album, CHERYL! Your Love Shines Down Like A Supernova’s Death, is a daring, dynamic, and strangely beautiful eruption of sound and satire.
