new brutalism / hit self destruct - 7" - new brutalism is ex-red scare
playing mathy rock oft compared to shellac. hit self destruct is a
long, groovin' emo track that i guess is a cross between modern stuff
like transistor transistor and a more mid-western path like giants
chair. urgent sung vocals is the order of the day. really good. (4
copies, £2.50)
_______________________________
die emperor die / burned out bright - 7" - i've been wanting to get
hold of these forever but the label just wasn't interested in selling
them i figured. managed to get a couple from EHP. i am not going to
describe it because i will get a million requests and i only have 2
copies and i doubt i will ever see any more :-( (2 copies, £2.50)
_______________________________
weaving the deathbag 7" - i have no idea what this is, i think i only
got some copies because they had a weird name. they play fast and
thrashy old school hardcore. ENERGY! GO! (3 copies, £2.50)
_______________________________
robot attack - demo #3 7" - angry, snarly hardcore here. quite a few
songs. bit born againsty. blue vinyl (2 copies, £2.50)

press (travis moonraker / true feedback story / reactionary 3's
label). i think this is great. it's kind of a cross between spirit

- it's totally in that spirit. support DIY hardcore, records like this
are why i started doing a distro in the first place. (3 copies, £2.75)

hablan por espalda 12" - interesting mix of hardcore / emo / punk,
half of this brings to mind things like Song of Zarathustra and

more punk rock, like Rights Reserved. hard to put a finger on it. this
band is from uruguay of all places! great record. (£8.50 3 copies)

oliver twist - new tricks LP - quirky German indie rock, danceable but
offbeat. mixes faster Modest Mouse with other stuff. X-Mist says:
"while on their previous releases comparisons to CHISEL and/or ROBOCOP
KRAUS were evident, on this great new record they sound more like a
young, fresh and non-predictable version of bands like LIFTER PULLER
or LES SAVY FAV!" (2 copies, £7.50)
