Whew! Been a lot going on, Raya “2” the excellent follow up to their debut came out, it’s rippin’ synth, egg punk from Spain. The “Hates Hunger” compilation is out, still got a handful of copies left if you haven’t grabbed one, it’s a superbly curated mixtape by Cole from Blood Cannery and proceeds go to the UN World Food Bank. Was hoping to sell through the run of 50 before I sent the donation off but I think I’ll just get it sent off this week regardless. The debut full-length from Jaguar 777 dropped recently, it’s fucking amazing, weird, funky and kinda goddamn sexy, only a few left. Burgers Gone Wild recently put out their third release, “Mystery Meat” and it fucking smokes from the get go. Dirty, basement 4-track garage punk from Carbondale, come get some.
Out today is the latest from Calgary, Alberta based maniacs BUG SWALLOW!!! An eight track, face slapping ripper that builds off that hot as hell two track demo they put out almost two years ago. Mid April will see the release of four brand new tracks from Lansing, Michigan delinquent, snarewaves!!! Greasy, grimey garage punk done quick, four new tracks, four minutes of music, comes dressed in a cute ass O-Card, which is new for me. The early summer will bring along an EP from Baltimore based hoodlums, BICEP, it’s industrial synth about working out. Seriously. And it’s amazing. New MIDGEE is also out this June and oh boy is it a fucking banger! I’ve been playing it occasionally for the last couple months and just can’t get enough, he’s hit a new level. Be prepared. Public Error tapes sold out but they’re heading out on tour in June so I think we’ll probably throw together a second run in the near future. Catch ‘em live, that EP absolutely rips.
Tennessee Cold Cuts just put out a 2-on-1 from the ever prolific Nashville garage punker, DRU THE DRIFTER. Featuring both “The Atomizer” & “The Plumber” it’s 27 tracks in just over 53 minutes. Just before that we did a run of tapes for BOLT SWALLOWER and their spring tour, did a few extra but they’re almost gone, scoop one soon if you wanna make sure you get one. Grumbled, garbled hardcore punk with moshable parts. The first edition of the “Slice Of Death” compilation is on the verge of selling out, a second run will be put out almost immediately, expect it in mid to late April. TCC is also still offering custom cassette jobs, 25 full color copies with a full color shell sticker, $140 postage paid. Drop me a line, I’ll send ya a couple templates and we’ll get crackin’.
On the Eye Know side of things, the first full-length from PHLUSHD was released, sneaky sex jams, 25 copies on solid blue shells. The next ARON GUBBE release is still in the works, a collaboration with MAX LOAF it’s sure to be absolutely ridiculous. Always accepting rap submissions here: eyyyeknnnow@gmail.com
