Napalm Beach - Fire Air and Water - 1990

Skullman Records and Flying Heart Records are working together to make a fuller catalog of Napalm Beach and Snow Bud and the Flower People music available for internet streaming and on-demand radio play, starting with Last.fm. Last.fm users can now enjoy full-length streams from Napalm Beach’s Fire Air and Water and Chris Newman’s Volunteer.

Fire Air and Water was recorded in Düsseldorf, Germany during Napalm Beach’s first European tour, November 1989, at Peter Krick’s Skyline Studios. The band had just returned from Berlin, where the Wall was coming down. This album features Chris Newman on guitar, keys, vocals; Sam Henry on drums and keys; Dave Dillinger, bass and is available on amazon.com

Chris Newman - Volunteer - 1994

Volunteer was recorded in 1994, with Chris on guitar, bass, keyboards, vocals, and Lance Paden (Snow Bud and the Flower People) on drums. Different versions of some of the songs had been recorded previously by Napalm Beach on Rock & Roll Hell and Greg Sage’s Trap Sampler, both of which had only come out on cassette and Chris thought had been lost forever. “Dr. J” was on the Pugsley cassette, and also re-recorded for this album. “Unclean,” “Onward,” “Mr. Gus,” “The First Time,” and “Big Black Car” were all brand new songs. Jeff Larson has named Volunteer as one of his favorite Chris Newman albums, and the best place to buy it is from Jeff’s store, Sonic Recollections.
