ABOUT BANG! RECORDS
We run an independent record label called Bang! Records, operating out of the famous Basque Country. My aim has been to release THEE greatest and Thee most explosive rock'n'roll records onto the waiting world.
Gorka started this adventure in 1997/98. Bang! Records was originally conceived with the dedicated aim of releasing 7 inch vinyl singles for the best underground rock'n'roll bands from around the world and first appeared in 1998 with a 7inch single release by the powerful Señor No. This was followed by singles from Brother Brick, The Hellacopters, Mensen, Sin City Six, Vendettas, Safety Pins, Holy Sheep, The Nomads... and we have now also released many limited edition 12 inch vinyl albums. Later on I was joined by my globe-trotting drinking buddy, Juan-Mari and the scope of the label has now grown...in the future Bang! will also be releasing special edition CDs and more classic VINYL by the best Australian bands you have never heard before from the past and present: Asteroid B612, Hugo Race & The True Spirits, Hoss, Devastations, Rowland S Howard, Voyeurs, Yes Men, Bored!, Tiger By The Tail, Spencer P. Jones, Brian Henry Hooper, Flaming Stars (UK), Powder Monkeys, Celibate Rifles, Drones, Penny Ikinger, Los Dingos & Slappers. And we are workin' in new releases, fuckin' big surprises!!!!
