Here's a review of it from dustedmagazine.com:

"I haven't paid attention to Made in Mexico since I booked one of their first shows in NYC a couple of years back. This is what Jeff Schneider has been doing since Arab on Radar split up, and it's a good deal more interesting than the jock-strap-on-forehead hernt of Athletic Automaton or the jock-strap-in-mouth sleaze of the Chinese Stars. Their "Charleston" splits the difference between a slow, cabaret-esque intro and a ratchety, Jaks-ish scrape, amidst the brassy-cum-hair pull shrieks of singer Rebecca Mitchell. I was more into the atmosphere of the first half, but my interest is definitely piqued. I need to say for ethical reasons that I used to be involved with Microwaves on a professional level, and have known its members personally for years. Now that that's out of the way, what a bunch of dingleberries these guys are! Just kidding, this Pittsburgh trio knows a thing or two about tension in music, with robo-drummer John Roman laying down steady anxiety beats completely devoid of "feeling," as guitarist Dr. David Kuzy and bassist Adam MacGregor (last seen in Brown Angel, with Roman, and as one-half of Conelrad) exchange alien metal riffs, spring-loaded and laser-guided with effects beyond the ken of normal "punk" or "metal" "axehandlers." There is some future shit going down here, informed by the Residents and Chrome, pounded into Voivod's hypercube and kept in an Air Force hangar. "Song X" is what happens when it escapes, and "House of Regurgitation" is the alarm. Limited edition, pressed on gray vinyl. Buy two, and race them with your friends."
31 Jan 2007

16 Dec 2006
We would like to announce that we will be issuing a 12'' LP version of the recent Lake Of Dracula release entitled Skeletal Remains. Two tracks from the release (as well as two from their other full length record) can be heard here. More info regarding a release date to come...

Here is a review of Skeletal Remains:
"Pounding sludgy new wavish punk rock, with a serious gothy dark vibe. Sort of like Chrome playing Interpol or something. Big crunchy guitars playing doomy angular riffs, a simple garagerock thud, thick swaths of feedback, occasional squalls of psychedelic freakout, and vocals that rant and rave in a super dramatic croon. Most of this disc is take from a live radio broadcast recorded May 28th, 1997, but there are a handful of extra tracks taken from singles and compilations. This short lived combo ('95-'97) featured Flying Luttenbachers drummer extrordinaire Weasel Walter on the GUITAR, Marlon Magas from Couch and Magas on vocals, Jessica from the Jacks on bass and Heather M. from the Scissor Girls on the drumkit as well as some guest rock action from Al of U.S. Maple fame.
Shit, the more we listen to this, the more we're digging it. An ultra chaotic mix of old school industrial thud, gloomy depressive punk rock, psychedelic garage rock stomp, a hellish sort-of-rockabilly with reverbed guitars and galloping drums, gloomy doom and in-your-face no-wave freakout. Seems like it would be a big ol' mess and it sort of is, but it sounds so impossibly good. Like the Strokes with frontal lobotomies recording for Bulb, or some caveman doom band covering Franz Ferdinand after taking huge handfuls of horse tranquilizers. Getting a jump on the current crop of new wave revivalists by a decade. But their new wave was a whole lot darker, damaged and demented!" - aquariusrecords.org

There is alot of newzzzzz that we want to share with you y'know...

Rococo Records is planning on opening up a real true record store in Chicago this upcoming spring where every Tuesday will be black metal Tuesday and we are really excited about doing this since it has been a dream in our heads for a looooonnnnnngggg time. Down with working for THE MAN. So it is going to be 75% record store and 25% Menteuse 1789 and boy are you kids just going to break up with yr girlfriends and boyfriends..yr just gonna fall in LOVE with us so fast. This is in the works along with another big surprise that we are planning for May.

The "Me Gusta Me Gusta" series..so I'm silk-screening the covers for IS, WETHER, and VIDEO HIPPOS on Friday and all the vinyl is being done nowNOWnow so if you have a subscription look for the next 3 release in about 2 weeks. We will put up a pre-order this week for the individual orders..everything we put out is something that we believe in and are impressed by just like the YSL Spring 07 Collection.

The second Graveyards "part 2" LP is going to be done in a few weeks as well... we're sorry about any confusion as to what the cover was going to look like..they are meant to be the inverse of each other, the first being black and white and the second one color per the artist. I guess I just wanted to make sure that you all know that we are PEOPLE PLEASERS and give 500 fucking % so if you are ever unhappy with anything please let US know and I will make you mixcds and send you Russian poetry, and make you fall in love all over again.

The "Curse of 2001" is over and I feel FEELINGS again so cheers to that.

The Les Savy Fav 7" has been DELAYED for the time being..because the artwork that was done was for the wrong CD in the Australian series. Seriously. Dude I know. To everyone that pre-ordered this we are going to send you the vinyl with a temporary cover and then send the real cover in about a month. It totally bummed us out when we got back from the trip and opened up the artwork email, but it's an honest mistake. No angry indie rock kids!! Please!!!

Cali newzzzz is that I will be silk-screening The Pope/Bipolar Bear 10" next week and the vinyl is being done this second, this is our first 10" and we are very proud..these two bands should move to Chicago and we could braid each others hair and talk about crushes. Die Princess Die had their CD release party in LA and their LP is gonna come out in the next month or so..it's like Big Black cooking with gas. I'm bringing back Sassy Magazine's "Cute Band Alert" and giving it to DPD.

BLOODYMINDED triple 7" boxset in it's own LEATHER pouch. I'm putting my Baba to work sewing them.

Casiotone for the Painfully Alone 7" out by Halloween too..so much stuff to tell. He does a cover of "Graceland"!!!

The subscription fee for the series has been lowered as it will now only include 6 one-sided LPs. However, subscribing now will ensure that you would receive a copy of the Graveyards "Night In A Graveyard part 2" LP, which will be the last release in the series.
17 May 2006
We'd like to officially announce that we're releasing the Les Savy Fav "Hit By A Train/Hit By A Car" 7'' (most likely in late summer '06).

Also, we've had some requests for mp3's from bands involved in the Me Gusta Me Gusta Singles Series, so I'll provide some links to areas on those band's sites where you can directly access their mp3's (they can provide many more than we can):

Behold The Living Corpse
Casiotone For The Painfully Alone

Available now! Full color printed sleeve, on black vinyl. As described by the band: "April/June...recorded in our rehearsal room first part of 2006 in Leiden, The Netherlands. The tracks are from two different sessions hence April/June (we like to keep our titles simple). The idea was to make a cyclical work (round like an lp) so there's no side A or B. The listener can start anywhere. The tracks are just there...they do not really start or end and they seem to add to each other somehow after a while (at least that's my experience)... Although the tracks feel like a relaxed ride at times, they where recorded at the usual intense volume levels...really, really loud! Don't know how they came out this way... All four tracks had this same 'relaxed' feeling about them so that's why we decided to put them together. Our tracks have no name, no number, they are what they are..."

There's A Flame...Sometimes 12'' LP
postage paid
black vinyl $8.00
RCC#0005   Limited to 500
"The last few MCIAA LPs have seen the Opalio brothers take some giant fuckin leaps, pushing the music well beyond the gravity of the early LPs/CDs and out into an even more personally blasted universe. This latest, beautifully packaged LP comes in a limited hand-numbered edition of 500 copies and documents some of their most minimal and vehement electronic compositions. Indeed, if it wasn't for the slow pad of drum skins, parts of this could almost pass for a pared-down post-Whitehouse investigation of eviscerated power electronics. A beautiful late-night spin. Recommended." - volcanictongue.com

"Featuring ex-members of Camera Obscura, Freedom From Saturn, and Radio Wendy. A towering wall of sick, invisible sound so loud it flaps your pant legs and shakes your teeth loose from their shiny pink gums. Their sound is big, thick, loud, and dense. It's tough to tell where the guitars end and the bass begins. "From the dark-electro intro song…to the end of the album, this CD is filled with all sorts of fun moody noise that can go from making you dance to making you go into a corner where you curl up into a ball and weep." - No-Fi Magazine

"It's Southern rock from insane Yankees. It's deer-huntin' music. It's the kind of shit your dad won't admit he used to rock out to when he was your age. In short, it's just good old-fashioned nasty, drunken, loud rock 'n' roll that doesn't mean a goddamn thing." - NYPress

Self-titled 7" single

black vinyl $3.00
RCC#0001   Limited to 500
"Sporting a Stonesy strut and a New Orderesque mixture of man and machine, Something about Vampires and Sluts have made a 7” that perfectly accentuates the indie scene's current "dance it up" attitude. The very song titles suggest a bad-ass brashness that's anything but ironic; this is the product of a generation ready to reclaim the dance floor for the punk-minded. The brand new 7'' is sure to create havoc on your record player, so give it a spin and don't be surprised if you can't keep still."
Mp3 sample: SAVAS - "Androgynous Theme Song"
