THE ROUTES

Formed in 2006, The Routes are a three piece garage rock/garage punk/psych/surf band based in Hita City, Oita (Japan).

To date The Routes have released six full length albums, several EPs, and several singles, on labels such as Motor Sounds Records (Northern Ireland), Groovie Records (Portugal), Dirty Water Records (UK), Go Ape Records (USA), Hidden Volume Records (USA), KOTJ Records (Spain), Ghost Highway Recordings (Spain), Action Weekend Records (Spain), Dead Beat Records (USA), and Greenway Records (USA).

In 2017 The Routes released the album “In This Perfect Hell” on Groovie Records (Portugal). The album received heavy airplay by Rodney Bingenheimer, WFMU (USA) and El Sotano De Radio 3 (Spain), as well as rave reviews in Shindig Magazine, Vintage Guitar Magazine amongst many others.

The Routes 2017 tour will be their fourth visit to the Iberian peninsula. The tour will be in promotion of the “In This Perfect Hell” album, and sees the band back to the 2009 Dirty Water Records lineup of Chris Jack – guitar/vocals, Shinichi Nakayama – drums, and Toru Nishimuta - bass. The Routes will have a new album “Dirty Needles and Pins” released on Greenway Records (USA) in September, just before the tour.

The band are to appear on El Sotano De Radio 3, on the night before the tour starts.

The Routes describe themselves as "taking influence from UK and US 60s music and culture, happily oblivious to the fads and trends of today."

Lock up your calimocho!!!

Cheers
Chris

The Dealers - Turning Upside Down 7" (AW016-EP)

Tras dos singles agotados y uno de los mejores discos que haya dado la escena 60's nacional en años, los Dealers regresan con nuevos temas registrados en Circo Perrotti. Los vitorianos han decidido volver a sus raíces r&b con tres stompers propios de crudo freakbeat y r&b, armónicas desbocadas, guitarras ácidas y ecos de Pretty Things, Downliners Sect, Crawdaddys o Headcoats. Su mejor 7” y eso es mucho decir!
Two sold-out 45s and one of the best Spanish albums in decades can be found in the cv of this outstanding Basque combo. Now they are back with new songs recorded at Circo Perrotti analogue studios last Christmas in which they return to their r&b roots with three self-penned stompers of pure 60's freakbeat-r&b full of wild harmonicas, acid guitars and echoes of the Pretty Things, Downliners Sect, Crawdaddys or Headcoats. Their best 45 so far, and that's pretty much!
