UTTER FAILURE “Eroding Forces” LP raging toward completion

The mastered tracks from the mighty Dan Randall at Mammoth Sound Mastering should be back next week and the LP Jackets have gone off to be printed.

Being involved in the release of this record is really one of the high points of my time doing labels over the years.

I’m sold out of last years’ 7” EP, but you can still stream it over at our bandcamp…

Rations “Martyrs and Prisoners” Co-operative Split Release

86’d Records has been helping to organize the co-operative release for the upcoming Rations “Martyrs and Prisoners” 7” EP. We’ve been at it a couple of weeks and the feedback has been amazing. We currently have 27 record labels in 10 countries participating in the project. We put together a vid using Google Maps to illustrate the network of people that are coming together to get this record out there.

From the Rations website:

Our goal was to setup a way to get small quantities of our records to as many local punk scenes as possible to encourage hand-to-hand purchases and trades among differentlabels and distros. Our hope is to use the occasion as an opportunity to strengthen our relationships with the international DIY punk conspiracy and to help further connect the network of ideas, music, and trade that happens outside the mainstream. We’re aiming for counter-culture, not sub-culture.

We’re still reaching out to labels in South America, Africa, and South East Asia through April 5th. Once the line-up is settled the record should be available from all participating labels by May 14th.

Check out the complete list of labels below. Thanks!

Rubrics “Apathy is an Institution” 12″ LP

Mon, 26 Nov 2012 00:29:31 -0500

I first met Ryan and Kerri Beth from Rubrics when Ryan’s old hardcore band This Mountain Is Man was on tour and played Dead Broke HQ. His wife Kerri Beth was along too. This Mountain Is Man was fucking killer. I bought a tee-shirt, a hand screened CD-r demo, and exchanged phone numbers with Kerri Beth. After a few texts we lost touch. Flash forward a year or so – I hooked up with Alex from Get Better Records to trade some records and help book a show for his band Burning Bridges here on Long Island. I came across Rubrics on his bandcamp page and was hooked. I traded for as much Rubrics stuff as I could. When word went out about the LP in late 2012 I wanted in. Get Better Records and the band were organizing and pressing the record and assembling a group of labels to help with funds and distribution. I bro’d down on the phone with Ryan – figured out it was the same dude from This Mountain Is Man – and the rest is herstory!

Check out some older Rubrics stuff below.

This bugger should be out sooner rather than later and will come in a B+W LP Jacket and will be stuffed with a huge newsprint poster and probably some other goodies.

Dead Uncles “Stock Characters” 12″ LP

Mon, 26 Nov 2012 00:28:52 -0500

photo by catherinepeyton on flickr.

Dead Uncles from New Haven, CT is one of my favorite punk bands of the past bunch of years. I first heard ‘em when I was looking to do a record forThe Credentials. The band suggested a split with Dead Uncles. I checked out what I could online and fucking loved it right off the bat. I wrote to Brian, the bands drummer, and got my hands on everything I could – the self released “Cut Down To Sighs” 7″, a self-titled 7″ on Shock To The System label, and a split cassette with Dylan Bredeau. All killer, no filler. I put out the now classic (in my own mind) Dead Uncles / The Credentials split 7″ and was fortunate enough to meet the guys and play a show with them up in Cambridge, MA for Smash It Dead Fest.

Check out the Dead Uncles track from the split 7″ with The Credentials below.

Sometime between Smash It Dead and now the band broke up. But not without recording an EPIC full-length first. The album was released in limited quantity on cassette – but never available online for sale. The band resigned to the fact that “Stock Characters” would be filed in the dustbin of history.

My reaction was “this aggression will not stand, man!” Mark my words, I am going to will this masterpiece into existence on vinyl in 2013.

Rations “Martyrs and Prisoners” 7″ EP

Mon, 26 Nov 2012 00:27:00 -0500

Rations is back. Out of about 20 songs that we had written we picked out 6 and recorded ‘em with Tia’s brother Ian. We recorded live on reel-to-reel tape (overdubbing vocals and lead guitar) in Ian’s cavernous shed in the woods of Fort Solonga, NY. On our last record (How Much Land Does a Man Need? 7″) we worked with 10 different labels in 6 countries to get it to the masses in the most decentralized and personal way available to us. This time around we’re aiming to double the number of labels involved and try to hit a few more countries too.

Our goal is to get small quantities of our records to as many local scenes as possible to encourage hand-to-hand purchases and trades among labels and distros. Our hope is to use the occasion as an opportunity to strengthen our relationships with the international D.I.Y. punk conspiracy and to help further connect the network of ideas, music, and trade that happens outside the mainstream. We aim for counter-culture, not sub-culture.

Here’s a song from the new 7″ live on Long Island in August of 2012. Hosted by the awesome Razorcake zine.

Thanks 7″ EP

Mon, 26 Nov 2012 00:24:56 -0500

Thanks is a garagey lo-fi pop-punk band from St. Cloud, MN. It’s got Ryan and Jeff from the awesome Lost Cat Records making up 2/3 of the trio. Their 2010 demo tape is killer as fuck. I first hooked up with these dudes when they kindly asked Rations to contribute a track to their “Box of Sand” cassette/CD compilation. I’ve never met either of them in person but that hasn’t stopped me from pestering them with creepy e-mails with requests for new Thanks demo tracks and late-night calls for digital affection. I consider these guys buddies, even if only through the ether. Jeff, who I surmise is the primary songsmith, has a column written for the perpetually upcoming 86′d Fanzine issue #1. I’d been hearing grumblings about a Thanks 7″ for a while, but always kinda vague and non-committal. When it came time to budget for my 2013 releases I sent the guys an e-mail demanding the record come out. I pleaded with them to let me send them money. It worked: 86′d Records will be chipping in on the split release along with Lost Cat Records and others!

Utter Failure 12″ LP

Mon, 26 Nov 2012 00:23:02 -0500

Utter Failure will be heading back to the studio with the inimitable Bart Thurber (Spazz, Swingin’ Utters, KPF, Fifteen, J-Church, Capitalist Casualties, etc., etc.) to record their debut full-length. This will be the follow up to last years debut 7″ and the currentlyplanned 4-way split 7″ with Fast Asleep, No Mistake, and Rat Bastard. If the songs from those two records are any indication this record is going to FUCKING RIP.

It’s pretty well established that Krupted Peasant Farmerz is my favorite punk band of all time. And Utter Failure is continuing in that mighty tradition. Helmed by the brothers Fraser from the Farmerz and joined by members of Shitkickers, Saros, Apeface, and more, the band expands on the KPF pantheon without re-treading or betraying what it was. Fuck it, I’m floored. Check out the 7″ below.

Here’s a bit from the rumor mill: The album might have a cover of the awesome KPF song “Fuck Your World” that appeared on the Farmhouse ’94 compilation. The bands been playing a bunch of shows around hometown San Jose, CA and are shooting to have the record out by April.
