Alternative Tentacles Records, along with this week's signing of Leftover Crack, has announced a number of new releases:

The label has signed San Francisco's The Sermon. The band features ex-members of The Fells, Mount McKinleys and The Dukes of Hamburg. The label's describing them "driving garage punk" that "recalls The Yardbirds going to toe to toe with The Motor City Five." Their debut album Volume will be released on August 24th as a CD / LP and a special limited edition CD tin.

In August the label will release the 4th album from Slim Cessna's Auto Club titled The Bloudy Tenent, Truth & Peace. The label's calling it "a cross between the traditional rockabilly country of Hank 3 and Wayne Hancock and the more emotionally weighted sounds of 16 Horsepower." The record will be in stores on August 10th.

Finally in the label will continue its Reissues of Necessity series with a collection by the "obscure, 70s LA space-glam quartet" Zolar-X. A version of the band's 1982 record Timeless will be released on August 24th.
