NEWS:
Omnibus favorites ELECTRO GROUP are featured on a brand
new split 7" with Sacramento noise-pop upstarts St. Avalanche
on Clairecords. Limited to 750 copies, packaged with a one of a
kind hand-screened x-ray. The release party is Saturday, June
7th @ Espresso Metro in Sacramento CA ($3 gets you in and
