The third album by BLOWERS, BLOWMANIA, is a raw and ferocious blast of garage punk straight from Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. With a four-pronged vocal assault and an unrestrained attitude, the band delivers pure intensity and irreverence at every turn. Inspired by The Reatards, The Spits, and Wipers, BLOWMANIA channels the untamed spirit of punk at its most chaotic and unapologetically loud. Prepare yourself for a sonic explosion!
Sleeve artwork fully illustrated by Luiz Berger.
Welcome to BLOWMANIA – one wild ride of a record that sees BLOWERS returning to form and upping the ante, turning their blistering vocals and buzzsaw guitar sounds up to maximum levels while adding synth for extra layers and urgency, with some truly warped production touches to top it all off. It’s an all-out attack from opener ‘Wasted On My Own’ to closing track ‘Everybody In This Room Hates Me’. The album delivers full-blown earworms and depraved humour about hospital-prone fans (‘Tony’s In Hospital Again’), drug love (‘Mushrooms On My Mind’), anxiety (‘Nightmares’), lifestyle choices (‘Cigs, Beer and Wine’) and hate-fuelled duets (‘I Hate You All The Time’). BLOWMANIA delivers 11 sharp shots of unapologetic punk adrenaline and is not for the faint-hearted – enter at your own risk!
BLOWMANIA follows up from BLOWERS’ debut self-titled LP released to acclaim and disgust back in 2021, and their second album, Blown Again, in 2023 (both on Chaputa Records/Spooky Records). BLOWMANIA was engineered and mixed by Julian Cue (Street Sweeper, Gut Health, Civic, Screensaver) and mastered by Mikey Young.
BLOWMANIA is due out in April 28, 2025 on Chaputa Records (EU) and Trash Cult Records (Australia).

Ephemerality is all Very Well: Portraits of Rowland S. Howard is an ode to the late rock musician Rowland S. Howard, and the influence he had over Lyndal Walker and Tony Clark. Through Walker’s writing and Clark’s gothic portraits of Howard, a nostalgic vignette is constructed, immortalising their shared reverence for the 80’s idol.
This is a limited edition book of 750 copies.
Growing up in a strict Muslim community in south-east London, Alom Shaha learnt that religion was not to be questioned. Reciting the Qur’an without understanding what it meant was simply a part of life; so, too, was obeying the imam and enduring beatings when he failed to attend the local mosque. Shaha was more drawn to science and its power to illuminate. As a teen, he lived between two worlds: the home controlled by his authoritarian father, and a school alive with books and ideas.
In a charming blend of memoir, philosophy, and science, Shaha explores the questions about faith and the afterlife that we all ponder. Through a series of loose ‘lessons’, he tells his own compelling story, drawing on the theories of some of history’s greatest thinkers and interrogating the fallacies that have impeded humanity for centuries. Shaha recounts how his education and formative experiences led him to question how to live without being tied to what his parents, priests, or teachers told him to believe, and offers insights so that others may do the same.
This is a book for anyone who thinks about what they should believe and how they should live. It’s for those who may need the facts and the ideas, as well as the courage, to break free from inherited beliefs. In this powerful narrative, Shaha shows that it is possible to live a compassionate, fulfilling, and meaningful life without God.

The follow up to the critically acclaimed 'Untitled. Street Art in The Counterculture. Untitled II the irreverent book of street art has again been created without the collaboration of the artists and certainly without the permission of the wall owners. There are blatant statements that embody outrageous lies, articles laced with satire, plus cynical synopses of attempts to commercialize street art and make it fashionable via celebrity endorsement. Consideration is given to the question What the hell is it about the color grey that makes it appeal the powers that be and their ridiculous minions? and Outsider Art is it an expression of artistic impulse without interference from the idea of personal gain? All of this amongst a collection of graffiti collected from all over the world and preserved on these pages before the legions employed to destroy them chip them off the walls. Artists featured include Miss Van, Dan Witz, Ron English, Obey, Banksy, Blek le Rat, Swoon, Os Gemeos, and Herakut.
