Poetry Of Torch x Gil Cerrone on Monday

June 13, 2025 by David Norman

Lambgoat posted an interview with CanaDave. It’s pretty extensive without being overwhelming, and offers a lot of info about our history and evolution. Thanks to Natty for asking me to do this.

Stuntman’s new album ‘Maximum Legal Wage’ was released yesterday and we moved half the tapes in 24 hours. It’s a low run so snag’em now if you like it dirty, metallic, and angry.

Japan’s Poetry Of Torch and Australia’s Gil Cerrone split cds release next Monday June 16th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST! Two brand new tracks from each band. Our cds should arrive next week and US Dave is on tour anyways so they’ll go out before the month closes. Snag the last copies of Gil’s first and phenomenal debut below.

Ultimate homies Athousandangelsandseven released a little tour doc about their most recent run. Check it out above. Watch their sickass music video below. Vinyl is at the plant!

2023 - 09 - 15 /// To Forget + More Premieres

September 15, 2023 by David Norman

We released the phenomenal To Forget lathe 7” yesterday and moved about half of the copies in less than 24 hours. Their 12”LP steadily sold for a month before we moved all 160 copies, and we expect this lathe to do the same (but we only have 50 this time) so if you’re into it please don’t sleep. It’s fantastic!

Riversleem premiered “Eating Teeth” a few days back on Borderline Fuckup, with the full 7” release going down on September 25th so get the fuck ready! We still have copies of their debut 7” in stock as well, give it a jam (so good).

Operation X-Ray premiered enough tracks to knock over a camel! Poor camel. Songs from Loose Teeth, Llewelyn (premiere), My Hair Is A Rat’s Nest (premiere), Riversleem (premiere), and Saton (premiere)!!! Congratulations on your 100th episode Andrew, you rule!

CanaDave helped the band Hillsboro release their self-titled 12”LP on his Softseed Label today. It’s amazing indie rock from Victoria on Vancouver Island, which is also where he is based.

Joliette’s ‘Luz de Bengala’ continues to get stellar reviews, today’s comes from Punkeando! Click on the pic above or this text to go there. Jam/buy it below!
