PUNX GONNA PUNX

I have been neglecting my internet presence really badly, but it's ok - I've been busy making music, putting out music, and teaching physics.  What day do I pick to stop neglecting the internet?... christmas, of course! Anyway, I'm gonna do this update in a few parts over a few days.  This first part is the catching up.

First of all - I'm back in Galesburg, IL.
It's cold and there's not a lot going on, but that's no matter - PUNX ALWAYS GONNA PUNX!



The two releases that were up for pre-order over the summer - Falter - Descent 7" and We Must Dismantle All This - Decathect 12" - are actually here and shipping out.  They also are both really fucking awesome releases.  If you haven't given them a listen, you really need to.  Both of them are streaming at http://realityisacult.bandcamp.com.  Sorry they stayed in "pre-order" for so long, various delays and general laziness on my part are to blame.

Also, at the end of the summer the Occultonomy - Demo CS was released.  This is a weird little tape crammed with 9 songs in about 8 minutes focusing on important topics like bigfoot, skateboarding, and ufo sightings.  If you order the tape you get a free "Sasquatch the State" patch that features my favorite imagery I have ever come up with.

And lastly, but probably the most exciting for me.  Just last month the new Rat Storm - Empty Hands 7" came out!  This is my favorite Rat Storm release to date.  It was recorded by the almighty Carl Byers of Coffinworm and it just right. This was co-released with IFB Records and Profane Existence.  The band members have been long-time fans of/influenced by Profane Existence, so it is very exciting to be teaming up with them for this release.  It is also being released as #12 in the Profane Existence 2013 Single Series!  Give it a listen and if you buy it before Jan. 1st, you can get a rad deal where you get a T-Shirt with it for only a couple bucks more.

Okay - another update soon with everything that is going to be coming out in the next few months.  THERE IS A LOT!
