On a semi-related matter we're happy to announce that we'll be releasing a brand new Backyard Babies 7" this fall. Keep checking back for more info on that one.
Also note that the Bootleg Booze Records/Hellacopters competition only will run for another two weeks, don't miss out on your chance to win 1 out of only 10 Hellacopters boxes made.

When we pressed The Hellacopters - The Same Lame Story 7" we made 10 test pressings, and now we're giving away one of these to someone who truly deserves it. All we want to know is who has the biggest Bootleg Booze Records collection?
This is most likely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as these copies were made for the label and the band.

FOUR FLAMINGOS Mad Evil Woman 7"
Like so many times in rock this band got started over a few beers. Members of two Gothenburg bands decided to get together and play some rock - Four Flamingos was born.

The Four Flamingos are heading for success and the journey starts on Bootleg Booze Records.
Pressing:
- 300 pink vinyl

THE HIP PRIESTS Tight'N'Exciting LP/CD
Formed in May 2006 from the ashes of near legendary Nottingham Garage heroes the X-Rays and London Punk 'n' Rollers The Divine Brown, The Hip Priests are the inbred backward bastard sons of Iggy, Johnny T, Hank von Helvete, Lemmy, and Handsome Dick.
In November this lot will unleash their high action and anthemic rock'n'roll on an unsuspecting world. Be prepared to cream your jeans!
"If you love Turbo, Dog Toffee, AC/DC, Motorhead and Zodiac Mindwarp then these are the denim demons for you." Vanity Project
"This is the sound of Lemmy, early Mick Mars & people who let the New York Dolls crash at their flat...all crashing at their flat...with Keith Moon in a '71 Cadillac with no brakes." Chaos Realm
"Wow! This smacks you in the face as soon as it erupts out of the speakers! The album title is right on the money. Red hot blistering and wild! This fucking ROCKS!" AMP Magazine
"In case you haven’t noticed, not all rock and roll sounds alike. The Hip Priests, have got it right. Joyously managing to offend the mainstreamers put it to the test of weeding out the real rockers with their raw attitude, dirty-garage tunes, and punka-style all with the tongue-n-cheek…uncensored." Sugarbuzz

THE HELLACOPTERS Same Lame Story 7"
"The Same Lame Story" b/w the exclusive cover of Electric Frankenstein's "It's All Moving Faster" is the smokin' new single by the mighty Hellacopters.
Released as a CD-single accompanying #14 of the great Swedish punk rock magazine Denimzine earlier this summer it's now getting the vinyl treatment, with the already mentioned Electric Frankenstein cover not on the CD, and we couldn't be more proud to be the ones releasing it.
You can't mention "Sweden" and "rock" in the same sentence without also mentioning The Hellacopters and as far we're concerned that's about all you have to say about this 7".
