No drugs were consumed in the making of this album. Released April 2012. |

POZ012-Billy Cohen - Doctor Stabby Vs. Annunaki Space Demons
The idiosyncratic genius of the late, great Billy Scream is explored in this collection of electronic music created between 2004 and 2009. Cohen's bizzare sense of humor meshes perfectly with imaginative, video game inspired landscapes, and twisted sound mashups. Features classics such as The Beetle Rennaissance, and Devito Robots Go Haywire. Released Fall 2011, an album of Cohen's chamber music to follow. Visit BillyCohen.com to donate to The Billy Fund. |

Backed by the Pozar house band: The Rhythm Section from Hell, and produced by Evan O'Donnell. Released August 2011 |

POZ010-The Brooklyn What - South Brooklyn Singles
These 5 tracks were recorded summer 2010 and released one each month over the following winter as a promotion for the band's continuing "Sorry Ma" party at Brooklyn's Trash Bar.

POZ009-The Brooklyn What - Gentrification Rock EP
Released summer 2009 as a response to the neighborhood destroying actions of Bruce Ratner and Marty Markowitz in Prospect Heights and the out of control real estate market, this release shows the more confrontational, harder edged, lo-fi side of The Brooklyn What. Features 2 unreleased tracks from the Borough President sessions, a basement cover of a classic Kinks song, and 2 live tracks. Hey Bloomberg, Eat Shit! |
 |
POZ008-John Severin and the Quiet 1s - Get Quiet EP
This Early 2009 release presents The Quiet 1s in gestational form, bursting with energy. The songwriting style of frontman John-Severin is strongly influenced by groups such as Wilco, My Morning Jacket, and Broken Social Scene, with a strong touch of soul. With the assistance of Jesse Katz's drumming (strongly influenced by Animal of the Muppets), and Doug Carey's aggressive bass playing, the music gains the manic energy of a vintage punk band. The result is an incredibly driving and catchy take on contemporary Rock and Roll (a dying breed indeed). |

POZ007-The Brooklyn What For Borough President
The Brooklyn What's first official assault on the spic-and-span, gentrifying nyc of the late 2000's, straight out the backdoor of the doomed original Freddy's Bar in prospect heights. An attempt to provide an alternative to the conformist, vacant williamsburg scene of the same era, and a rallying cry for those who still love simple, raw Rock&Roll. Recorded, mixed and mastered for under 500 dollars through two sweltering summers, and released via the band's own Pozar Records label. Featuring the band's original 3 guitar line-up. November 2008. |

POZ006-DiDi loves GoGo - Sexual Violence EP
In contrast to the groups dreamlike first record, this EP is a revved-up slap in the face of thrashy, rockabilly inspired alt-rock, recorded, mixed and released in one month. The band feels live in the studio on this one, always one notch away from spinning out of control. Hampshire College Studio January 2008 |
 |
POZ005-Paper Cities
Between 2006 and 2008 one of the best post-rock bands in NYC was made up of 3 flatbush natives, working up the perfect mixture of drifting soundscapes and heavy onslaughts of virtuosity. This, their one and only release, stands as an unheard masterpiece of the genre. Recorded and released in 2007. |
 |
POZ004-DiDi loves GoGo - Machination
A college project of a Brooklyn What guitarist, this album comes across as a primordial rock&roll ooze, bits of 80s alternative, rockabilly, vintage punk sticking their jagged heads out of a warm reverb cave, between shimmering folk rock and noise excursions. Like a long dream that leaves you washed up in a bathtub. In the best possible way. Released 2007.

POZ001-The Soundtrack to Jamie's Basement
The original Kensington, Brooklyn disaster where all of this started, back in high school. We rolled tape, tried to play as badly as possible for hours on end, and then cut it up into "songs". We stapled pieces of paper together and burned discs of this travesty. 3 people liked it. We called our new record label Pozar after a high school friend, and in honor of the general trajectory of our borough toward imitations of imitations which somehow had the magic ability to raise everyones rent and render an "alternative lifestyle" futile. Whatever has changed since then, this is the basis of why Pozar Records exists. Listen to the whole thing and you wont feel so self conscious anymore. Then do something real You Fucking Prick. |
