Josiah - Josiah (MELT CD 001)

Incredible 2002 debut album by this UK three piece. If you are looking for killer rock with a psychedelic edge look no further. Mixing the power of Grand Funk, the spaced menace and beauty of Black Sabbath, the attitude and angst of The MC5 and the sweat and sheer energy of AC/DC. Josiah, like The Datsuns, have re-created true Rock and Roll for the new century. Kick some ass right now!

On Trial - Blinded By The Sun (MELT CD 002)

After a gap of a couple of years here is the stunning 2002 album by the best kept Scandinavian secret since Rumplestiltskin. Sounding like a cross between Love and The Sound Track Of Our Lives the band blend an emotional west coast flavoured sound with powerful acid guitar and melodic sensibilities. Intricate arrangements and sweeping acid psych that’s both achingly ragged and beautifully realised. This album grows on you with every listen just like a classic album should. Highly recommended.

On Trial - Skunk (MELT CD 003)

Re-issue of On Trials 1998 album 'Sixty Kilometers of Underwater Nothingness Kaptain' - due 2005.

On Trial - Head (MELT CD 004)

Here's the 2003 full length CD album version of the now rare 10" issued a few years back by the great Danish psych band. On Trial update and interpret a selection of '60s psychedelic classics, including gems by Love, The Third Bardo, Macbre, Roky Erickson and others. The CD version is expanded to include superb covers of The Rolling Stones 'Citadel' Blues Cheer's Parchment Farm, The Stooges TV Eye, Pink Floyd's "Interstellar Overdrive" and The MC5's "Starship". Blistering acid wah wah fuzz guitar work, trippy effects, exquisite vocals and multicoloured psychedelic abandon are the order of the day. New artwork and remastered sound. A real trip.

The Beginning - This Is.. (MELT CD 005)

Formed in the vapour trail of the 1960's oblivion wagon The Beginning... are one of THE great lost wonders of psychedelic rock. Their only album "This Is" lay dormant until recently when it was uncovered by Molten Records. Now available on CD, it contains a mind altering selection of acid guitar music mixing funky rock 'n' roll grooves, with the kind of twin-lead guitar attack that drifted off to the acid tent at Woodstock 30 years ago. Flashes of ever-so-fluid San Franciscan psychedelic improvisation merge with hard edged Detroit rock and hip stoned grooviness. The overall result is a sound that's part Frumious Bandersnatch, Yesterdays Children, Rolling Stones, Led Zep, SRC and Quicksilver Messenger Service!

On Trial - Live (MELT CD 006)

Live! Tonight!... Tripped Out in 2003! Our men in Denmark are notorious for tearing it up on stage but this takes the mushroom-flavoured biscuit. Not only did they manage to get out alive from a storming performance in Christiana, they escaped with the tape too! 'Live' features some of the awesome 60's psych classics that adorned 'Head' mixed up with numbers from previous albums, 'Blinded By The Sun' and 'New Day Rising'. With an impressive catalogue behind them, On Trial continue to deliver the goods and this is no exception. All hail the greatest Danish export since Carlsberg! Due: Late September 2004.

Josiah - Into The Outside (MELT CD 007)

They've done it again! Following the success of their self-titled debut, Josiah are back with a stunning new 2004 album, 'Into The Outside'. Due for an early Autumn release, the second album by this UK band sees Josiah making a slight departure from the flavour of their previous recordings. They have replaced their stoned low-end riffs for a slicker, more produced bluesy rock 'n' garage approach. A blend of current guitar angst with, early '70's UK Rock, US Garage and Acid Rock has made Into the Outside an album that really burns. Lovers of lean and mean guitar mayhem look no further.
