Stay punk, stay weird

Alright, this here is update #2.  These are the things that I have coming up out in the next couple months. So much awesome stuff. 

REALITY #016 - Rubrics/Abolitionist Split 7" - This is already at the plant and should be out any time now. There are a ton of labels helping out, and I'm only getting a small amount of these, but you should definitely pick one up, because both bands fucking rule.

REALITY #017 - xWill Powerx/Giz Medium Split CS - Ok, this may be a bit off my norm, but I think it's really good, so fuck it.  This is a "folk-punk" split between two friends of mine.  Both Will (who also plays in Closet Burner) and Giz (of Xtra-Medium) play stripped down heartfelt songs about being alive and being lost.  They each cover one of each others songs also.  These are the types of songs that scream along to when you are by yourself (or at least I do).

REALITY #018 - CHUD - Demo CS - A repressing of CHUD's demo they put out last winter... and it still fucking rules.  CHUD is a hardcore band, but they don't sound like most hardcore bands.  I'm not really sure how to describe it.. to me it sorta sounds like the Minutemen or Dead Milkmen but more raw and intense.  These guys are keeping punk weird, and, for that, they fucking rule.

REALITY #019 - Butt Piss - S/T CS - Another reissue here.  This was only out on CD-R previously, and I'm pretty sure the band only played like two shows after the CD was finished, which is a shame.  Butt Piss's line-up features Jon from Rat Storm and Closet Burner (and Reality is a Cult) on drums,  Jonathan, who now plays bass in Closet Burner, on vocals, as well as an array of other Bloomington long-time punx and thrashers.  This is trashy skate punk played fucking right.  I'm reissuing it on a pretty limited run of cassettes with screen-printed J-cards - grab it while you can because the band is long gone, and this is probably your last time to pick up this gem of Bloomington, IN punk history.

REALITY #020 - This is getting its own update... so you'll have to wait.

REALITY #021 - Marc Antony/D'amore Split CS - Okay, so here is another reissue of a record that never really got a proper release.  These songs were recorded for a split vinyl that got ordered back in like 2005 and almost pressed but some strange array of problems caused it to never actually happen.  It's really too bad because this is some of the best work by these two bands.  Marc Antony also features Jon (Rat Storm/Closet Burner) on drums, but this is back in his California days of playing frantic technical emo.  I think most people would call Marc Antony a screamo band... it's DIY, they took their politics seriously, and it's great.  The D'amore side is similarly crushing technical emo/screamo/what-have-you (I refuse to use the word skramz, sorry).  Members of D'amore went on to form the much better known bands Towers, Algernon Cadwallalder, Peter & Craig, plus many others - however, for fans of any of those bands, you really should pick this up - it's a few great tracks that were sadly lost to pressing plant woes, finally available for your mass consumption.  I'll have them up and streaming soon.

REALITY #022 - Nuclear Hellfrost -Bestial Grinding Carnage Flexi 7" - This band is pure grinding DIY black metal from  Ft. Wayne.  I haven't heard the tracks that are going on this yet, but the artwork is fucking perfect and everything these guys have done rules.  The recordings are being finished right now and I'll have them up and streaming very soon.
