Latest News

March 22, 2008: The webstore is now closed. It will re-open sometime around July 1 when I return from London. The Double Negative and Smart Cops 7"s will be out very soon and I'll post a full news update about that within the next couple of days.

Latest Releases

		Double Negative: Raw Energy EP - Following up their already-legendary debut full-length on No Way Records, North Carolina's Double Negative return with this blistering 3-track EP. While the full-length offered a more polished representation of the band, this EP is much closer to their noise-drenched live sound. In fact, the title track was recorded live with a single microphone and no overdubs whatsoever. The EP also features over-the-top packaging, including a 4-panel metallic print sleeve that can be used as a stencil of the band's logo. Highly recommended for fans of bullshit crust punk and by-the-numbers hardcore who need to hear how it's really done.
		Smart Cops: Self-titled EP - Drawing their membership from now-defunct powerhouses La Piovra and Ohuzaru, Italy's Smart Cops add a dash of bratty classic punk to those bands' driving Italian hardcore sound. These 6 tracks feature some of the catchiest choruses I've heard in years, but the snotty, sarcastic vocals and blistering rhythm section keep the energy levels consistently off the charts. With two US tours in the works, you'll want to hear this band now so that you can scream along with every word. Recommended for fans of Career Suicide, Government Warning, Angry Samoans and the Freeze. 500 copies each on pinkish orange and pinkish purple vinyl. If you order 2 copies I'll make sure you get both.
		Koro: Speed Kills+ CD - For those of you who think this whole "vinyl" thing is just a passing fad, the entire recorded legacy of the almighty KORO is available on one shiny little platter. Speed Kills+ includes both the classic 700 Club EP and the Speed Kills 12" previously released by Sorry State in 2006. However, to round out the package we have unearthed a 14-track practice session which contains 3 MORE Koro songs that didn't appear on the EP or the 12". The recording on the practice session is rough, but Carl Snow did a great job bringing this old, decaying cassette tape back to life for those of us who simply must hear every note that KORO ever recorded.
		Instängd: Mitt Svar På Ingenting EP - Sweden's Instängd are a new band featuring members of Regulations and Tristess, but they don't sound anything like the melodic punk of those bands. On Mitt Svar På Ingenting, Instängd take as their main influence old, barbaric Scandinavian punk like Headcleaners / Huvudtvätt, Missbrukarna, or S.O.D. (the Swedish one, not the one from New York). If you need a less obscure comparison, Urban Waste would make a good reference point since this has a completely blown-out, blistering guitar sound and catchy, punk-as-shit vocals. Needless to say, this six-song rager destroys everything in its path. Sorry State Records #12.
