"I have been wanting to put out a new zine for a few months. Wicked Wendy Wild Wolf and Other Fun Drawings are a bunch of drawings i've been doing when I get home from work. I wanted it to look like tattoo flash mixed with some comics about Wendy and Wild Wolf. Making zines is fun." - Jay Howell

"Matt Furie makes graphically crisp, chromatically vibrating images that feature original yet familiar-seeming characters and creatures in hilari-ous and vaguely threatening congress." - Shana Nys Dambrot, LA Weekly

The Readymades "I'm A Man, I'm A Flower" LP

13 tracks of blown-out, lo-fi garage punk blast that walks a tight-rope between intentional organized chaos and a car careening off a bridge. Recorded over a decade ago in the legendary Loft space by Chris Woodhouse (Mayyors, Karate Party), this record got shelved as the band imploded and members went on to more stable projects - Rich Haley forming the Duchess Of Saigon (S-S Records) and Charles Albright forming and unforming a million projects since then, including his highly regarded recent solo output (S-S Records, Permanent Records). Greg Ginn joins the early Kinks and borrows Henry's Dress' equipment to do covers off the first Redd Kross record. Howling cave-stomp punk with film of chattering white noise and the best of the Woodhouse treatment. Get yourself a hat and hold on to it. Sample a few tracks here

G.Green "Crap Culture" LP

Sacramento scuzz rockers G.Green are releasing their debut LP on Mt.St.Mtn. Limited edition wax with the Mt.St.Mtn. treatment. G. Green is and has been the musical project of a one Mr. Andrew Henderson and a rotating cast of players (the incarnation on this record includes Rod Meyer from Eat Skull / Hospitals). A quick paced platter of party punk hits on the verge of careening wildly out of control, G.Green’s first long player lands somewhere between Tyvek, “Born Innocent” era Redd Kross and “No Pocky For Kitty” era Superchunk. Look for their singles on 12XU, Malt Duck and Italian Beach Babes. The LP is lovingly wrapped in a double-sided 2 ft x 2 ft fold out poster-cover, a mix of off-set and silk-screen printing, with illustration by Jay Howell and design by Mark Kaiser (per usual). Sample a few tracks here

The Whines "Shootinhead" b/w "Straybird" 7 inch

Hot on the heels of their awesome debut LP Hell To Play, we've got two exclusive tracks on limited edition wax. The Whines have been on our radar for some time, with Karianne hopping in on drums for Eat Skull for all of ten minutes and their debut 7? making rounds a year or two ago. Previously backed by alternating members of the aforementioned Portland faves, The Whines have solidified a touring band and are hitting the road in May. They offered us these two reverb soaked noise pop tracks, one new and one alternate recording off the Hell To Play LP. Layers of over-saturated tape hiss, as well as Karianne’s sweet-to-sad-to-sexy vocals, glue this hot little single together. A dreary Portland Sunday with a hangover put to wax just for you. One color debossed letterpress over digital print cover, illustration by Jay Howell and design by Mark Kaiser.

Jay Howell "Darkwave"

The Dark Wave tells the story of a black metal band's disenchanted lead singer. After succumbing to a panic attack on stage during a show, he flees into the night and quickly finds himself surrounded by the great wild. We follow his journey around the bend and out into the ocean - All dictated to us in vivid black and white, with Jay Howell's sublime background artwork filing out the palette of grays. The Dark Wave and his journey to find it, relates to us that even during murky periods of loathing, strife and doubt, we will all find what we are looking for and learn how to stand on our own two feet. Comes with an MP3 download of the black metal song from the book, performed by Mtn. pal Scott McPherson.

Jay Howell "Pages From Books - Vol. 1"

The first collection of the ongoing “Pages From Books” series by artist/illustrator Jay Howell features all of the skinny guys with boners, naked chicks on skateboards, dogs, beer, rockers, and endless good times we’ve come to expect from his whimsical-yet-crude artwork. His zine Punks Git Cut and animated series called "The Forest City Rockers”, the apex in punk rock cartoons, have deservingly earned him a devoted following of wingnuts, wastoids, fuck ups and shredders.
