2013 brought on a critical Portuguese connection to the modern garage punk world with Rui Themoteo and Esgar Acelerado releasing the Black Box single from Nordic punks, The Maharajas, thus officially opening up Chaputa! Records for business. Fifty-eight releases later, Chaputa! Records still thrives and will mark a decade releasing records in the fringe circuit with Life’s Not Like The Movies / Attracted, the new 7″ single from lauded Swiss garage punks The Jackets.

Life’s Not Like The Movies / Attracted is the second partnership between the Portuguese label and the Swiss trio, with a split 7″ between The Jackets and The Courettes marking their first production together. This new release is the band’s follow-up to their Pie In The Sky / Misery of Man 7″ debut on Wild Noise Records from early Spring. The Jackets have announced new tour dates in the Netherlands, Switzerland, France, Germany and a return to Spain with more in the works.
