spacer Frodus Explosions 7"+Bonus Track
itunes button
For many years out of print! Frodus' "Explosions" single including the timely and epic instrumental B-side of the last day on the Mayan calendar "Dec. 21, 2012". This digital reissue is not only remastered but also contains a bonus track "Extinguished" that was unearthed from a rare German compilation disc. Recorded by Jonathan Kreinik of Les Trois Malheures in 1996.

spacer Les Trois Malheures s/t
itunes button
One of our favorite DC bands ever that scoured the scene for a short time with their discordant and energetic post-punk. A band that was breaking at the seams before it even set sail which left a legacy of bombastic shows and songs that stand the test of time today. To make even the most jaded punk lost in the digital ocean to pump his /her virtual fist yet again.

Frodus - Live In Halmstad Artwork
mp3 icon
spacer Chronic Heist Fake This Dream
itunes button
Known for their bombast of Albini-esque drums with slinking guitars and clever lyrics and vocals only like Swedes can do. It's true! For fans of Bryan Ferry, Nick Cave, and the art of the "melodramtic popular song". This is their debut album made in the northern lands and originally released on Tell Me That You Love Me records from Göteborg.

Frodus - Live In Halmstad Artwork
mp3 icon
spacer Frodus Left For Dead In Halmstad!
itunes button
A live recording of Frodus live in Halmstad, Sweden in 1998 while on tour with Refused. Frodus plays to a perplexed crowd and tries their darndest to get them involved, to move, to do something other than immobily stare. A fine document of the live Frodus experience in this era and incarnation with the band exhausted and delirious near the end of their 2 1/2 month tour of Europe. "The wind will mark our words." - Frodus

spacer Shelby Cinca Electronic 1: Obelisk
itunes button
Former Frodus frontman enters the world of 8bit electronica with his debut album. Redemptiondepartment.com has said: "...this music seems like, in my opinion, almost a spiritual manifestation of Shelby himself. The fact that he has for so long been such a sci-fi, data, and technology geek/junkie really gives this work a powerful sense of personability that the casual listener should be informed as to in order to fully appreciate this music."

Shelby Cinca: Electronic 1 Artwork
mp3 icon
spacer Frodus Fireflies (Remastered)
itunes button
Reissue of a rare out of print Frodus album from 1995. Post-highschool post-nerdcore with a tinge of surf guitar and fuzz. Also coincidentally enough this album was originally released by Washington, D.C.-native Damien Kulash of the band OkGo and features the original OkGo bassist, Andy Duncan, on bass and vocals .. tracks.

spacer Frodus Molotov Cocktail Party (Remastered)
itunes button
Reissue of a rare out of print Frodus cassette-only release from 1994. Highschool nerdcore about sasquatches, aliens, and sci-fi frustration. An underground cultural event for the suburbs of Washington, D.C. Originally selling 1100 copies with virtually no distribution, just DIY spirit of constant live shows and occasional stock in now-legendary independent local record stores. Available now for the first time in archival digital form.

mp3 icon
spacer Frodus Brahm Remixes
itunes button
Electronic musician Brahm remixes 3 tracks from the final Frodus album "And We Washed Our Weapons In The Sea" (released 2001). Originally to appear on a EP and single that was never realized around the same time. A clicky and atmospheric exploration of Frodus' later more matured sound.

mp3 icon
spacer Frodus Suspicion Breeds Jason
itunes button
Rare out-take of Jason Hamacher the drummer of Frodus and little-known vocalist of the defunct "breakfast violence" band, Mancake. Screaming his brains out behind closed-doors. The "b-side" features a rare social engineering (a.k.a. "prank call") to G. Gordon Liddy which to insiders is known as "Lettuce for the people".

spacer The Cassettes Early 7"s
itunes button
Out of print 7"s by The Cassettes. Their early power-pop beginnings originally vinyl-only releases in the year 2000. Pop-nuggets realized from cassette 4-track sketches spanned throughout the late-nineties. Features members of Dead Meadow and Frodus' frontman Shelby Cinca.

spacer C.AARMÉ Vita
itunes button

The second album by these GBG punkers with a slightly more refined sound and even more erratic vocal stylings. A solid sophmore release which will make your parent's mad and do what a punk record should do. Be the first kid on your block to hail the new dawn of C.AARMÉ while everyone else listens to some regurgitated crap. This is it.

spacer Alarma Man s/t
itunes button
Instrumental and daft in it's execution, Alarma Man can excite, sooth, and equally throw an unprepared listener into a state of confusion. Mind-numbing drum beats, steady bass lines, and odd guitar rhythms accenting with tapping that defies the nature of the sonic guitar itself. A mad mixture of dark intentions and old roving spirits that brings to mind Don Cabellero, Man Or Astroman, and Fugazi, yet with something all the more sinister and forward looking.

THE SAGA:

Håkan started a label in 1997 called No Looking Back Records. He released a live Frodus album and eventually had the band come on over and tour Europe for the first time. At that time he met Shelby and he would say to him that speaking English makes his tongue dry. Years passed and they kept in contact, Håkan forming Division Of Laura Lee and launching Carcrash Records. Shelby starting the bands The Cassettes and Decahedron. Håkan ended up putting out such acts as: C.ARRME, DIALOG CET, INC, plus others. Shelby gradually amassed a closet-full of his own back-catalog in the form of DAT tapes, CD-Rs, ADAT tapes, and 2" reel to reels that were bending the shelves. In the early 2000s Håkan and Shelby's brain stems intertwined more as they shared design work as Passkontroll and the project band Frantic Mantis. They decided they might as well share the label as Shelby had a slew of back-catalog to unleash and the concept to document exciting DC underground music that never saw the light of day. In 2006, CARCRASH RECORDS morphed into a new modus-operandi of heralding full-lengths by Sweden's best spastic and angular bands and digitally unleashing unheard music from America's nation's capitol, Sweden's small provinces, and perhaps beyond.
