Alternative Tentacles Records: Spank Machine out now l Tsunami Bomb l The Darts

Alternative Tentacles Records is proud to present SPANK MACHINE “SPANK YOU VERY MUCH” out now! Stream the album anywhere you listen to digital albums, like bandcamp!

Long time Alternative Tentacles Records artist Ani Kyd Wolf (known to AT fans from her solo releases and Fuel Injected .45) brings out her classic project from 30 years prior, finally finding a home with A.T.!

In 1993 best friends, Gerry-Jenn Wilson and Kyd Wolf were two dynamic front women in the Vancouver punk, grunge music scene who decided to unite and create the female fronted explosion that would be known as SPANK MACHINE!  With Wilson and Kyd Wolf on guitar and vocals, James “JT” Brander on drums, and Jo Kyd on bass, SPANK MACHINE was a short lived but powerful band that left a lasting impression on the Vancouver scene. People would talk about the band’s music and tendency to feature a live Dominatrix as part of their stage show for years afterwards.

With 2023 marking the 30th anniversary of the previously unreleased album “Spank You Very Much” was recorded at Profile Studios, Alternative Tentacles Records has unlocked the vault and is bringing this album to the light for the world’s enjoyment on all digital platforms on Tuesday, August 15th. “Spank You Very Much” also serves as a tribute to Gerry-Jenn Wilson, who tragically lost her life in a house fire. This digital album is an honor to her memory, as she is greatly missed by us all.

SPANK MACHINE is recommended to anyone who loved the kickass Fem bands that rose out of the 90’s, such as The Breeders, Throwing Muses, and L7. However, one listen and you’ll see why SPANK MACHINE is in a league of their own.

Tsunami Bomb has entered the chat this week! Catch them in Reno, NV this weekend for the Rock Against Racism Festival. At the end of the month they will do a run of East Coast dates with The Dollyrots that will include a stop at the Camp Punksylvania Festival!

In October they will be in Florida for FEST 21, and they’ve just announced a European tour for Spring 2024! The band is getting busy and we are here for it!

We finally have their latest 7″ “Still Standing” back in stock in our store!
