THE NIGHTBLOOMS - GO ELIZA 7" (DINGO RECORDS, 1988) [NED]

The Nightblooms - Go Eliza 7"

(Dingo Records, 1988) [NED]

The first 7" single from Dutch indie pop / shoegaze group The Nightblooms. Released on Dingo Records in 1988. That faded pastel indie pop aesthetic.

JOHNNY COHEN & THE NEW AGE NAZIS - HITLER WAS A SPEEDFREAK! 7" (MOTORWOLF [MOTORWOLF 009], 2000) [NED]

Johnny Cohen & the New Age Nazis - Hitler Was A Speedfreak! 7"

(Motorwolf – Motorwolf 009], 2000) [NED]

A tounge-in-cheek 7" from Holland's Johnny Cohen & The New Age Nazis released on Dutch label Motorwolf in the year 2000. The cover lists a B-Side, but this is in fact, just a one song, single-sided 7" single lampooning Hitler!

THE SUNSHINE POWER EXPRESS - SELF TITLED 7" (MOTORWOLF [MOTORWOLF 004], 1997) [NED]

The Sunwheel Power Express - Self Titled 7"

(Motorwolf – [MOTORWOLF 004], 1997) [NED]

Another stoner rock single, this time from (I believe..) Dutch group The Sunwheel Power Express. Released on Dutch label Motorwolf in 1997. Like Charles Manson, Japanese cult leader Shoko Asahara, seems to be popular imagery for metal bands.

THE ESSENCE - ONLY FOR YOU 12" (MIDNIGHT MUSIC [DONG 41], 1988) [NED]

The Essence - Only For You 12"

(Midnight Music – DONG 41], 1988) [NED]

I had listened to this song probably 3 or 4 times before realizing it was not The Cure! The Essence is great Cure worship out of The Netherlands. A 12" single.

Santa Cruz - What Is Love? (Crystal Meth Boogie) 12"

(Motorwolf [Motorwolf 031], 2010) [NED]

A single-sided 12" release from Netherland's stoner rock band called Santa Cruz. Lengthy, drugged-out drone.

CROCKETT & JONES - PETER USTINOV 7" (NOET LACHTEN RECORDS [NOET11], ROMAN CABBAGE VINYL [GREY3], 1990) [NED]

Crockett & Jones - Peter Ustinov 7"

(Noet Lachten Records [NOET 11], Roman Cabbage Vinyl [GRAY 3], 1990) [NED]

There is definitely a common theme among some indie pop bands, I've noticed, to make songs dedicated to their favorite silver screen actors or stars, just like this Crockett & Jones single dedicated to Peter Ustinov (that's him there on the cover). This song is great, too good that I usually find myself listening to the sub-two-minute song over and over paying no mind to the other songs (they're good as well, especially the jig). Only release from this Dutch band, I think, minus a handful of compilation appearances.

TWIN EARTH - TRANCERS 33 EP 7" (LADA RECORDS [LADA 003], 1995) [NED]

Twin Earth - Trancers 33 EP 7"

(Lada Records [Lada 003], 1995) [NED]

The only release from this Dutch stoner rock group, Twin Earth, except for a couple of comp tracks. Nice psych feel. On Holland based label Lada. Plus, I really hope the title has something to do with the film Trancers -- probably not though.
