Quick update before the weekend! I got a few things in (were talking 1-3 copies each) that I'll have at both the Sunday and Tuesday shows. Sorry this is short and sweet, I'll let the music do the talking.
BRAIN SLUG Demo Cassette [Self Released]
- "Dudes from Long Island making fine NYHC with a hint of Boston in there. Definitely keep your eyes on this band."
KENT STATE "SPAHN RANCH E.P." Cassette [Self Released]
- 'psychedelic death pop' from one of the dudes in DEEP SLEEP. Sounds awesome, I'm keeping one for myself.
BIRTH CONTROL - "GOING TO TARGET" 7" [Fashionable Idiots]
- "Philadelphia, PA's Birth Control feature members of Pissed Jeans and don't stray too far from the Jeans' formula, playing dirty, noisy punk with demented vocals. Another hit!"
BRAIN F "RESTRAINING ORDER" 7" [Static Shock]
- Featuring members of Logic Problem and Grids.. Male/Female punk in the vein of X (US and AUS).
CONDOMINIUM - "GAG" 7" [Deer Healer]
- Minnesota Noise punks back again. If you don't have this by now you should really pick it up. Then try tracking down the rest of this band's 7's. Great stuff.
DIGITAL LEATHER - "POWER SURGE" 7" [FDH]
- "Two songs from DIGITAL LEATHER. “Power Surge” is a brand new unreleased track. The B-side is an older tune called "Shattered Reflections," which has never had a proper DL release—there was a cover version of this track released on the Terror Visions full length. Limited edition of 500 copies."
DRY HUMP - "CULTURE FUCK EXPERIENCE" 7" [Shogun]
- "Debut EP by this band from Boston, MA. including ex-members of SGT. SLAUGHTER. 3 songs of wild, wild very 80's influenced punk hardcore. The more noisey hardcore. Yes, some of them songs were on the SEX CULT Demo tape so you know it's good. Screenprinted covers on top."
FED UP! - "READ BETWEEN THE LINES" 7" [Hard Press]
- Los Angeles, CA's Fed Up has a list of influences that include Infest, Siege, Lifes Halt, Negative Approach and Void, which shine through in a sound that's fast, intense and angry with plenty of blast beats and mosh parts thrown in for good measure.
TALK IS POISON - "RAGE TO INFINITY" 7" [Self Released]
- "Five shred-head hardcore tracks from Talk Is Poison, for the punks by the punx. Hand silk screened covers. Members have also played in COPOUT, WARCRY, LOOK BACK AND LAUGH, NEEDLES, BOMBS AWAY, MINDLESS MUTANT, CALIFORNIA LOVE, ANIMAL FARM, BLACK FORK."
