Euclid C Finder 2nd variant reveal + Piri Reis tomorrow!

July 14, 2022 by David Norman

Mark July 19th on your calender because it’s Euclid C Finder day! Here’s the second variant reveal for the ‘You Too Can Be Toxic Copper Pigment‘ out of 100 copies. Just gorgeous!!!This is a Heathen Hand Records co-release and they’ve got a little surprise up their sleeve so clean them out first before coming to us. Releases July 19th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST!!!

The ‘Ritma’ 12”LP by Malaysia’s Piri Reis releases tomorrow morning July 15th at 5am PST / 7am CST / 8am EST (cuz all the other labels are in Europe/Malaysia) and judging by how many messages we keep getting there’s a pretty high possibility that we’ll sell out of this record pretty quickly. We are the only North American label and we will only have 50 copies. I’ll be bold and state this is the emo-violence record of the year.

Hetta’s ‘Headlights’ just released on Tomb Tree via 35 tapes. It’s honestly spectacular and fans of sassy, posty, dancey, screamy hardcore from Portugal.

ZBR Fest Mid-West 2022 videos from the Pre-show continue to pop up on youtube. Here’s Imelda Marcos just mesmerizing the shit outta everyone in the Empty Bliss basement. So very cool.

Not Just A Phase recently interviewed our good friends in Social Caterpillar and what ensues is one of the funniest podcasts I’ve ever heard. Click on the text for the interview or jam the new record below!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: AKEPHAL = Very sick German stuff from ages ago. Very Bremen. Very awesome. Narshardaa has cds in stock still!

2022 - 07 - 13 /// Euclid C Finder 1st variant reveal!

July 13, 2022 by David Norman

Don’t forget that July 19th is Euclid C Finder day! We were lucky enough to release the cassette of their early work AND the comp track from the Ones & Twos swirl tape, but we’ve been sold out of both for well over a year. Thankfully Heathen Hand Records let us jump on board the discography vinyl release! I just saw all the variants today and my socks caught fire. It was nuts. Euclid C Finder, so good it’ll burn ya feet. Here’s one of the variants!

CanaDave’s baby label Softseed Music just released the ridiculous collaboration titled ‘Amplifier’ by To Be Gentle and Opheliac. Truly amazing stuff that looks pretty sweet too! Jam/download/buy from the bandcamp link below.

Hetta’s ‘Headlights’ releases tomorrow July 14th on our little Tomb Tree label on just 35 tapes. We shat our pants when we first heard it. The Blood Brothers, JR Ewing, and The Fall Of Troy all wrapped in one, sexy, Portuguese package.

ZBR Fest Mid-West 2022 videos are finally starting to show up on youtube. The first band we’ve uploaded is Disperser and they kicked major ass.

Demersal did another sick live video for their Not Just A Phase contribution “Afterparty Depression”. Tapes are sold out but you can still nab those digitals.

Last Friday Operation X-Ray played more sick jams. Included in this show was Piri Reis (releases on Friday!) and Hawak from the Cube 12”.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: CUCK = Ex-Swallows Nest, this grindy powerviolence three-piece has a tape coming on Tomb Tree later this month! Here’s a raw demo of one of the 14 jams!

2022 - 07 - 07 /// Euclid C Finder on the 19th! Cube today!

July 07, 2022 by David Norman

We’ve been out of the Euclid C Finder tapes as well as the Ones & Twos comp for a few years now, so it is with great excitement that we are announcing a 12” discography co-release with our buddies at Heathen Hand Records! 300 12”s with remastered songs and some seriously stupid variants. Full release July 19th @9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm PST. We’ll toss up the remasters on release day but you can jam the oldies below!

Cube releases today via ourselves and Left Hand Label (EU) at 3pm PST / 5pm CST / 6pm EST on two stellar variants (neither of which we’ve done before!) and has new jams from Hawak, Joliette (technically this song is a few months old now), Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow, Eyelet, Elle, and Burial Etiquette.

Speaking of Burial Etiquette, CanaDave did a podcast with vocalist/guitarist Jaccob Hanley and they discuss both the Cube split as well as the band’s upcoming full length! Click on the picture of text to go to the podcast post.

Remember that sick Not Just A Phase comp? Well our fave Sammy from Warren Of Ohms (he also did the cover art) was chosen as a finalist in a mixing/mastering challenge from a member of Defeater! Click on this text to go to the Instagram vote and just love that post to help our homie out. Jam it below!

This Noise Is Ours did a review for the long lost Subjects/Rulers full length cassette, as they recorded, released, and then broke up due to geographical circumstances. This incredible band featured members of Cease Upon The Capitol, Dolcim, etc. We are long sold out. Click on the text to go to the reviews.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: TO BE GENTLE = Just putting out awesome material 24/7.

2022 - 07 - 06 /// Cube reveal!

July 06, 2022 by David Norman

Now that the premiere and bands have been revealed, let’s take a look at those CUBE 12”s shall we? These gorgeous beauties go on sale on Thursday at 3pm PST / 5pm CST / 6pm EST. 250 on “Blue Blob on Clear“ and 250 “Ghostly”. Two new tracks from each band expect Joliette (who has one) and Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow (who has five). This is a co-release with Left Hand Label who has about 1/5 of the pressing, we have 3/5 and the bands have the rest. Jam that new Hawak track below!

Cara Neir is finished at the plant and I’m paying for it today so those will be in hand for our July 29th drop. 275 copies across some absolutely ridiculous variants that we’ll start laying out variant pics in about 1-2 weeks.

We’ve also got a co-release with Heathen Hand coming out on the 19th of July. Here’s one of the variants!

Because of our LOFTUS release of ‘Hugs and Drugs’ on 12”LP, we caught the attention of Heavy Heavy Low Low in a post…so I jumped at that opportunity and asked Robbie (vocals) to come on my podcast. He did. It was awesome. We chatted about HHLL and Loftus a bunch. And we’ve still got Loftus copies left of the handmades in both stores! And HHLL is on tour right now! Click on this text to go to the interview.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: SALT MONEY = This Australian band killed me with their two most recent EPs and I know for certain that a full length is in the works!

2022 - 07 - 04 /// Piri Reis reveal!

July 03, 2022 by David Norman

Piri Reis releases July 15th! Get psyched cuz it’s an incredible achievement and in my opinion the new benchmark in emo-violence. Co-releasing with React With Protest, Moment Of Collapse, and Framecode Records.

There’s a jam opening the Zampler #19 comp (cuz it’s that sick) and there’s still some zamplers left so feel free to place an order to get one for free.

MNWA is out. We sold about half of our stock in 24 hours so again, don’t wait too long if interested!

Hawak song premiere tomorrow! Be sure to check out Idioteq.com!

The most recent Operation X-Ray gave some props to Alas, Tentacles, and Lower Automation (from the Zampler/new 12”) so be sure to check that out! We’re running pretty low on Alas as it’s selling very consistently so if you’re interested I wouldn’t wait too long!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: HYLDA = Woah if Mare went a bit faster sometimes and had a screamo edge? Something like that!
