Nestled somewhere in between Russ Meyers' nihilistic go-go-dancing booty queen, Henry Mancini's big band martini lounge, kid606's sound-as-attitude mash-ups, and Man or Astroman's apocalyptic "let's get off this planet already" surf anthems, End's debut on Ipecac, The Sounds of Disaster, captures what hipster rockabilly posers and music nerds everywhere daydream of running out and buying, should news of the apocalypse hit the airwaves.
With track titles like "To Hell With Everyone", "Countdown To The End", "World Went Down", and "Fit To Die", End has made the perfect soundtrack by which to wait for the shit to hit the fan. Equal parts rockabilly, breakcore, white-trash jazz, and DC comic books, the album's twelve cuts are all about the excessive frenzy of just not caring anymore, of pill popping cowboys on mechanical bulls, of dirty cops beating on Gauloise-toting French hipsters.
One listen to The Sounds of Disaster and it's easy to see why Mike Patton and the folks at Ipecac jumped all over it. Chalk full of schizophrenic arrangements, paranoia, alcoholic swagger, and sexual dementia, it fits perfectly with what the label's been up to.

Giorgio Marauder: To Hell With Everyone 7"
Debut 7" from the enigmatic Giorgio Marauder. A fun-filled musical melting pot for these cheery times: think surf-rock, B-movie starlets, cop-show themes, spy music, and a side-trip to Bollywood. Now think hydrogen bombs, radioactive mutants, hippy death cults, workplace massacres, and the requisite burning trashcans. Throw it all into a digital blender of 200+ bpm breakbeats. Add some noise. Some gabber. 10,000 homicidal mad women.... cannibals.... arson.... patricide.... vehicular manslaughter....
Three essential themes for your own personal apocalypse.
1. You Only Live Once
2. To Hell With Everyone
3. World Went Down
Released 2003 on Mirex
