Horror, Sex And Violence (purple)
20 years ago Tokyo-based, internationally renowned and legendary artist Rockin' Jelly Bean created a shop in Japan to showcase his art by the name of Erostika. Whoever celebrates rock'n'roll music, B-movies and art from and inspired by the '50s till late '70s has inevitably come across this fantastic illustrator and artist who among others has worked with/for famous motion pictures such as Quentin Tarantino's 'Kill Bill' or 'True Romance.' Inspired by artists like Ed Roth or Robert Williams, his art and the caricaturesque figures in it tell their stories while critically dealing with and reflecting exaggerated sexualization of our cartoonlike times, always spiced up with a pinch of comedy and self-irony. To celebrate the shop's 20th anniversary on September 28th 2024, Erostika releases an orginial motion picture soundtrack LP: 'Horror, Sex And Violence.' It features seven fantastic Japanese bands and each of their songs was made for Rockin' Jelly Bean's "original movie" posters and thereby continues to tell their stories musically. Naturally the LP is extremely versatile, starting off with the wild, rockin' and rollin' Stompin' Riffraffs representing 'Mondo Erostika.' Next up are surfin' legends Jackie & The Cedrics for 'The Switchblade Surfers' followed by creepy psychobilly rockers Bobby's Bar and The Psyclocks for 'Monster Wrecking Mash.' The B-side starts soulful and funky with The Soulclap representing blaxploitation movie 'Super Foxy,' while '60s garage band The Highmarts play the soundtrack of the story of 'Sukeban Baby' and finally metalcore-band Saigan Terror decide to "destroy them all" and 'Thrash The Zombies.' What a wild sound explosion! Available on purple splattered coloured vinyl and covered in mindblowing exclusive Rockin' Jelly Bean cover artwork gatefold, this LP is an absolute must-have!
