HUGE Upate - NEW: Cheap Art, Kata Sarka/Boddicker Splits, and Stabler Cassettes. Plus Summer 2013 SPECIALS

Woah!  Being a professor is rough... well, actually it's great, but it's rough when it comes to keeping up on the label.  Sorry about the lack of updates, but I now have lots and lots of updates to provide.  As well as special deals.  Or if you don't want to read of this, just go to the store to see what's there and the bandcamp to stream new music.

First of all, I still have Parasitic Twins 7"s as well as a few of the Peeple Watchin' - Something to Tell Ya' CS's available.  They are both total rippers and you really need to pick them up!

In more recent news I have THREE new releases that are all ready to go, and all kinds of things that will be in the next couple months.

First up: Kata Sarka/Boddicker split 7"s are here it is a pretty perfect slab of wax, if I may say so myself.  Blackened crusty D-beat on both sides but each band has their own unique sound. Kata Sarka have been churning out blistering releases for the last few years, including an earlier release of this split on CS. Boddicker also have a killer first release under their belt too.  When this split was available in cassette form Cult Nation named it one of the best splits of 2012.  So, yeah, don't fuck up and miss out on this one while it's on vinyl.

Next up is the newest release, the Cheap Art - Desocialized 7".  This record is amazing and if you haven't heard this band yet, you need to.  I met Cheap Art when Rat Storm played in Atlanta and they blew me away at that show.  They were an amazing band and the members are some of the most genuine people I have ever met!  But, this 7" goes far beyond blowing me away.  It's energetic, smart, powerful, fast, and played perfectly.  Cheap Art play super tight hardcore at speeds that are pretty out of control.  Dual male/female vocals (I hate that female vocals are still a "thing" but let's face it… girls rule, so it's worth mentioning when there is a lady screamer) tear through what is probably the best fastcore record I've heard in 10 years. No joking. They recently wrapped up a short tour of the Eastern US where they had test presses of this release, and have another tour planned for next year. I'm so happy to be a part of this fantastic 7".  It is a split release with Hygiene Records from NC.  Comes on black, or a very limited number of mint green or yellow vinyl.

Lastly, but still very exciting, is the recently released Stabler - The Squadroom CS.  This is killer tape of intense hardcore played just like it is supposed to be - energetic and sincere.  Stabler are young dudes from Louisville, KY that play a really interesting mix of the styles that have been coming out of that region for the last couple years. This is tough hardcore, but not too tough.  Plenty of beat down mosh moments, but not so much you get bored. At times it's thrashy and chaotic and at other times it almost fastcore.  Overall, just good fucking hardcore - plus they are named after a certain dreamy detective from L&O:SVU. Just listen to it now!  Dubbed on berries (clear blue cassettes) and cherries (clear red cassettes).

Coming up:


We Must Dismantle All This LP - Fuck this band is amazing.  Crustcore with influences from all over the place that make it truly unique.  If you haven't heard of this band, it's only because they haven't jumped on the hype wagon but have kept true to the DIY spirit.  They have been playing genuine hardcore punk for years and have been working harder and making better music than 90% of the bands you HAVE heard of.  Give them a listen and check them out on tour.

CHUD demo tapes will be out ASAP.  My duplicators are in Illinois...and I'm in Indiana, but as soon as I get them, these are getting dubbed!  This is the same demo that they self-released 25 copies of in the Winter.  But I'm dubbing 50 for them and this time they will be on blue cassettes with baby-blue covers.

Falter - Descent 7"is off at the plant.  Hope to have test presses in time for their tour in July, but either way should be out by the end of the summer.  It's so fucking good. Seething vocals, furious drums, and relentless guitar and bass pummeling.   Just saw these guys play a few days ago, and they are even MORE powerful live than on recording, and that's saying something.

Butt-Piss cassette re-issue is still coming, just being slow about making it happen. Hopefully will get done by the fall.

Repress of the Casque - Devour the Lion tape also is going to happen very soon to - probably by the end of the summer.

Planning the release of a Nuclear Hellfrost Flexi in the fall.

Finally, Warpath Discography LP is definitely still going to happen - I've just been in over my head with stuff that needs to get out in time for tours and everything!
