Following the success of the first 'Box Of Sin' in 2023, Demon / Edsel and Disco Discharge are proud to announce the sequel 'More Sin: Box of Sin 2' will be released this February 2025. Over 4 LPs, 'More Sin' presents 29 choice selections from the music you might have heard on Queer dancefloors between 1980 and 1989; a decade of dance in all it's devilish delights. Meticulously researched from the published gay club charts at the time, this CD set encompasses full length versions of Diva, High Energy, Alternative, Pop, Europop and House classics. Not only were the '80s Queer clubs where you were most likely to hear the latest groundbreaking developments in dance music, there was a lot of diversity on offer. On any given night you might hear a legendary soul singer's new opus right next to some post punks from Manchester and the latest European pop chart topper. 'More Sin' aims to reflect this.

James Fletcher Hamilton Henderson Jr. (December 18, 1897 – December 29, 1952) was an American pianist, bandleader, arranger and composer, important in the development of big band jazz and swing music. He was one of the most prolific black musical arrangers and, along with Duke Ellington, is considered one of the most influential arrangers and bandleaders in jazz history. Henderson's influence was vast. He helped bridge the gap between the Dixieland and the swing eras. He was often known as Smack Henderson (apparently because of his skill as a batter playing baseball in college).

When a band finds success, people usually speculate over whether they’ve earned it—if they truly paid their dues. This conversation never comes up while discussing the gritty blues-rock band Kings of Spade. That’s because they actually bled for their art.

The Manges 'R' Good Enough is the first full-lenght album recorded by The Manges and was released on October 6, 2001 by Stardumb Records. It was recorded in a studio in New York City with Tony of the Kowalskis. This album includes guest appearances by Joe Queer of The Queers, Kitty Kowalski and Mike 'Vacant Lot'. And on top of that, the songs are excellent 3 chord punk rock tunes in the vein of The Ramones. A must have!
