Oh, hello. Lots of new tapes out since the last update, AMOR, MUERTE Y LEONORA “Black Pop” dropped, BURGERS GONE WILD released their latest and greatest, “BBQANON”, and we also put out a second run of the first Self-Titled release. Then we just put out a two-fer (two full lengths on one tape) from Nashville based trashy ass garage punk, DRU THE DRIFTER (release number 50!!).

Up next we’ve got a second run of the DEGENERATES & DICKWEEDS compilation, this time on solid red shells and limited to 25. No artwork changes, Curt from KRiME SLUGS already crushed that, no need to mess with it, out on May 2nd. After that, expect the latest banger from New Orleans based T.A.C.K. “Tackle” and it’s a fucking sweaty ass, bluesy, lo-fi, garage punk bruiser and it’s limited to 25 copies on solid yellow shells. Theeeennn it’ll be THE FIRST MOTHERFUCKING FULL-LENGTH FROM EYE BALL!! Helllll yeah!! Titled “Gull Songs” (OUT MAY 27TH!) and absolutely smoking, it’s 12 brand new fuzzy, lo-fi, pop punk, summer time sing-alongs. Limited to 50 copies, 25 on solid yellow and 25 on clear shells. Shortly after I’ve got a couple BETA MAXIMO release on deck, couple ELECTRIC PRAWNS 2 tapes and a repress of the SONG TELEPHONE compilation as well as a reprint of MY TELEPHONE NUMBER as I’m down to the last couple copies of the first Demo. By the way, have you picked up the MY TELEPHONE NUMBER LP from FERAL KIDS? Grab that, it just dropped, the covers are hand printed and it’s fucking hot as hell. Oh! and new FLOWER GIRLS! And more dope shit from ROBBIE THUNDER outta Australia!! And then, guess what, more. Yep, there will be more. And you know what? It’s gonna be fucking sick.

Got a few new tapes up in the DISTRO, I’ve got a few other things on the way and I’m going to get some vinyl posted soon. Check the distro page on occasion is what I’m saying, some rare shit and some used stuff will find it’s way there.

Some short quips or writing attempts will make an appearance here soon, looks like I’ll be contributing a column to FAUX WOOD PANELING so we’ll need to knock the dust off and this seems like a pretty good spot. I’ll be posting reviews as well so if you have anything you’d like me to listen to and write about get in touch for a mailing address. I’m open to anything.

Been searching out some more distribution avenues and a couple opened up right away, we’re stoked to announce that IN YOUR EYES will start carrying a small selection of KOS releases in Italy. Additionally, SORRY STATE looks like they’ll be picking up a few select releases to add to their wholesale and in store shop. Any other distributors out there, states or otherwise, please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you’d like to carry some of our releases. Or have any questions. Very interested in more Europe distribution, as well as coverage in Canada, South America & Asia. I know shipping is absurd, I’m willing to figure it out, the ultimate objective is getting the music, art and ideas out to wherever the tentacles can reach. 

Uhhh… sorry, none of the BOLD points on this page have links, maybe I’ll get to that some other day.
