Thee Fine Lines self titled release is a 14 song rave up that will make you wonder how you've gone this long without it!  Guitar solos that'll whip your head around. Vocals so dirty and in your face- all transferred to tape in such a raw, live "in the red" form, you thought you were there as the reels
spun round pickin up every fuzzy note!  Reviewers talk about the Sonics, the Kinks, Billy Childish, with a splash o Mummies...  we talk about the bomb that just blew up your sound system.

Quoted as being a group that, "make sounds that coulda been out of the Groovies session for Teenage Head", The Stepbrothers "Baby It's Over" is triple dose of the highest caliber rock and roll.  Stand back-  it's dangerous to be up this close...

THEE SHAMS "Gotta Be Something"/"Go On Livin" 7"
(YUM-2005)

Thee Shams newest 7" release is here! Side A: "Gotta Be Something"- from it's tinkling piano intro to it's bouncy almost-too-catchy (in a good way) ending, Thee Shams show off their amazing writing abilities while pounding you with that chugachug rhythm.  "Go on Livin" on the flip, is a darker, think-I'll-end-it-all

sludge ride with a guitar blast ending aimed to please.  This band can do NO wrong.  Here are two more songs to prove that fact.

THE BLOODY TEARS "Downhanded" CD
(YUM-1004)

 

The Tree won't do you wrong, baby!  Here's more proof of that in spades.  The Bloody Tears first full length, recorded by garage guru Jim Diamond, comes at you with an upper cut of sweet hot soul covers, then lays you out flat with true homegrown originals.  As Rank and Revue says, "If you haven't
heard The Bloody Tears yet, you're missing out on one of the best shows around."  Now you can hold the best show around in the palm of you grubby little hand, sweets!

THEE FINE LINES "Looking Everywhere" 7" EP (YUM-2006)
Thee Fine Lines are back again, but this time with a different format, and different bassist. Following their highly acclaimed self titled release of 2004, the new 4 song 7" takes us through a love cycle from infatuation to bitter resentment, while never losing the raw,
urgent, and catchy sound Thee Fine Lines are known for.. They've truly revved it up a couple notches, and this release BURNS! Getta hold of this piece of r-n-r history while you can, and see Thee Fine Lines live this fall! GET ME SOME!!
THEE SHAMS "Sign The Line" LP (YUM-2007 )
Thee Shams drive it home with this, their 3rd full length release, only available here at Licorice Tree in its vinyl format! Enclosed in the wax, we've got blood boiling screamers, catchy pop hook homeruns, trippy ballads, extended freakouts... you name it, and it's probably found here
on the album. Way more than a good ole garage rock record, Sign The Line will leave you mindhole bleeding. Catch these guys live, as they will be in your town soon! GET ME SOME!!
SOUTH FILTHY "CRACKIN' UP" CD OUT NOW! (YUM-1008)
Walter Daniels, Jack Yarber and Msr. Jeffery Evans bring it all to the table on this disc! Hellfire blues, fun 50s R-n-R and ramblin story tellers... Says one Rowdy Roger Moser of Under The Volcano, "South Filthy vividly conjures an impressive image of Howlin’ Wolf, Waylon Jennings,

and Tom Waits knockin’ the snot out of The Band on a rickety, chicken wire-screened stage in a Mississippi juke joint." Yup.
GET ME SOME!!

THE RAUNCH HANDS BIGG TOPP "FEEL IT " CD OUT NOW! (YUM-1009)
The Mikes have met up again, and they've done it up right! Chandler, Mariconda and Edison have mashed their well known sleaze with The Stepbrothers swagger, and you are the lucky chump who will benefit. If you like your music dirty and your lyrics dirtier, don't miss out on this
recording. This is Rock and Roll at its best. Recorded in Sweatbox studios and produced by Mariconda, ensures the griminess of this disc. GET ME SOME!!
THEE FINE LINES "SET YOU STRAIGHT" CD OUT NOW! (YUM-1010)
We are proud that our tenth release echoes our first. Thee Fine Lines second full length, "Set You Straight" reminds you why you loved that first one so much, while bringing you new and different sounds as well. Punk rawk bashers, leave-me-alone-ers, bop-bop-boppers, and a great
sneak-into-my-room-at-midnite-young-lass-er that we can't stop listening to. Now it's your chance to do the same! See Thee Fine Lines live this Summer if you like rock and roll. and you do. GET ME SOME!!
