Memorial Day Distro Update

In label news, CRACKED VESSEL and GIDIM tapes are running quite low, as is the DEAD UNCLES LP.  The COWARD 7" is down to it's final copy, so don't snooze.

BABY GHOSTS test presses have shipped and are awaiting arrival and approval.  GRASSEATERS are still compiling material/artwork for their cassette.

As for distro additions, this week there are some unreasonably killer new records.  AXEMAN, MERCHANDISE/MILK MUSIC/DESTRUCTION UNIT are both incredible LPs while VALENTEENS, DISGUSTI, and STABLE BOYS are must haves in the 7" realm.  This whole list should be required listening in fact.

1994! - Fuck It LP (red)
Axeman - Arrive LP
Deep Sleep - Turn Me Off LP (tour version)
Indian - The Sycophant LP
Merchandise/Destruction Unit/Milk Music - split LP

For locals, Hip Kid releases are now available at Saki and Bric-A-Brac.  Go grab them!

ELSINORES - Dreams of Youth LP Out Now!

Finally this beast is available for public consumption.

The debut LP from Lexington, KY's THE ELSINORES. Dreamy, post-punk influenced songs that evoke feelings of nostalgia, loss, and hope simultaneously. Comparisons to Husker Du, New Order, Wipers, and early Merchandise would all be alright starting points, but this thing is truly its own unique beast. Perfect production that's full and enveloping rounds everything out.
500 copies on black vinyl, most with screen printed inside-out LP jackets, less with screenprinted fold-over covers, all including an 8 page half-sized zine with lyrics, art, and associated writings about the album and songs therein.
This is HKR-014. Released in conjunction with IFB, Karmic Swamp, Dead Tank, and Human Crush.
