Newly remastered by Lindsay Gravina, Rowland S. Howard's debut 1999 album Teenage Snuff Film - highly sought after by collectors - will be released on double vinyl (with one side etched), CD and digital along with 2009’s Pop Crimes, Howard’s final album release, available on vinyl, CD and digitally.

Teenage Snuff Film, was recorded at the Birdland and Sing Sing recording studios in Melbourne with longtime colleague and collaborator Mick Harvey contributing drums, organ and guitar and Brian Hooper on bass. The album was produced by Lindsay Gravina and engineered by James Mason and Jade Martin, and released to acclaim. Rowland S. Howard passed away on December 30, 2009, from liver cancer, only a few months the release of Pop Crimes. The album, recorded with Mick Harvey and JP Shilo, also features Brian Hooper and on ‘(I Know) A Girl Called Jonny’, the collaboration with Jonnine Standish and Sean Stewart (HTRK)

A vital presence on Australia’s post-punk scene, Rowland S. Howard created his own emotionally intense sonic language, first with Young Charlatans, then alongside Nick Cave and Mick Harvey in The Boys Next Door and The Birthday Party, and, after they disbanded 1983, with These Immortal Souls and Crime & the City Solution.

Legendarny gitarzysta THE BIRTHDAY PARTY i jego nagrany tuż przed śmiercią album.

ROWLAND S HOWARD to postać prawdziwie kultowa. To właśnie brzmienie jego gitary i styl gry wraz z niepowtarzalnym głosem NICKA CAVE’A stanowiły o sile rewolucyjnego brzmienia wielkich THE BIRTHDAY PARTY. Po rozpadzie tej genialnej formacji Howard grał wraz z Mickiem Harvey’em w CRIME AND THE CITY SOLUTION. Stworzył także kapitalny band THESE IMMORTAL SOULS, współpracował też z takimi ikonami undergroundu jak LYDIA LUNCH, JEFFREY LEE PIERCE, FOETUS czy BLIXA BARGELD. Zmarł w grudniu 2009 roku, pozostawiając po sobie pożegnalny album „Pop Crimes”. Płyta jest esencją jego stylu, jednocześnie pokazuje że mimo upływu lat artysta daleki był od bazowania na swoim kultowym statusie. Z Mickiem Harvey’em na perkusji i JP Silo nagrał album w klimacie pop noir. Na płycie znajdują się m.in dwa genialne covery, TALK TALK „Life’s What You Make It” oraz „Nothin” TOWNES VAN ZANDTA. Obowiązkowa pozycja dla fanów THE BIRTHDAY PARTY, NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS, CRIME AND THE CITY SOLUTION, przede wszystkim zaś geniuszu samego HOWARDA.
