JUNE 24th, 2008

Those of you who made it out to NO WAY FEST 2 had a chance to pick up these 5 killer new records, but everyone else will have to wait, as they will not be available for wholesale/mailorder until after we get back from tour with CITIZENS PATROL and LIFE TRAP on July 8th. Check out the Bands/Tour section for details.

Chronic Seizure LP

NW-27: CHRONIC SEIZURE - Ancient Wound LP

Chicago's finest bring us 10 songs of ballistic missile hardcore punk that will have you banging your head against the fucking wall song after song. Their previous efforts (1st and 2nd ep on FASHIONABLE IDIOTS) had our heads turning, but this really takes the cake. This is a split release w/ FASHIONABLE IDIOTS as well.

Reprobates Stress EP

NW-28: REPROBATES - Stress EP

Debut release from this Toronto, Canada, 5-piece hardcore punk outfit. 5 songs of strained, fucked up hardcore punk. This band has 2 guitars, which brings a lot to the table... a wall of fucking noise over top of abusive, punchy HC. This stuff brings to mind bands like NOTA, JERRY'S KIDS and even some old foreign HC like INFERNO, NO SECURITY, MOB 47, and UPRIGHT CITIZENS.

Life Trap Solitary Confinement EP

NW-29: LIFE TRAP - Solitary Confinement EP

Life Trap return for another swift kick to the head with 8 songs of punishing HC/PUNK not unlike their 1st ep and demo. No song over a minute and a half, so you know it will feed your non- attentive brain and hardcore addiction. A great 2nd ep from this great band. Check these dudes out on tour w/ CITIZENS PATROL right after NO WAY FEST 2.

Warkrime Tighten Up EP

NW-30: WARKRIME - Tighten Up EP

Warkrime give us here their last record. It's kinda sad. Loved this band since the first time we heard their demo, and now they are ending with "Tighten Up." 5 songs of their nihilistic, ferocious punk/hc/thrash that only they can produce. Great lyrics throughout, along with great tunes. This may be their best output, and it's a shame that it's the last one. Warkrime was a one-of-a-kind band.

Citizens Patrol Dead Children EP

NW-31: CITIZENS PATROL - Dead Children EP

Holland's maniacs are back with another ripper of an ep. This time they bring us 6 songs of their brand of hyper-speed HC punk, comparable to early US bands but bringing their own flavor to the table. This is a split release with CRUCIAL ATTACK in Amsterdam. Check these dudes out on tour w/ LIFE TRAP right after NO WAY FEST 2.

MAY 1st, 2008

Little bit of news for ya...We've been totally swamped with orders, but have managed to get a whole lot of them out. Everyone who ordered up to the end of last weeks orders have most likely already been shipped. The rest up til now will go out by mid- next week, because we're going on tour with GOVERNMENT WARNING through Sunday, May 4th. These shows will be insane. Check out www.myspace.com/governmentwarningrva for all the details. For record production/sales news: The Human Mess color vinyl ep is sold out, they went fast and their wasn't many to go around. The others are still available and steadily going out the door, so act fast. Also- We've got a bunch of new stuff in the works so keep your eyes peeled here soon for more news on all that. Now it's time to hit the road!

APRIL 17th, 2008

YEAH! 4 New Records out right now! Get em while they're HOT! Here's some information.

NW-23: UNSEEN FORCE - In Search Of The Truth LP

Finally, this mid 80's Richmond, VA Hardcore Punk Masterpiece sees the light of day again! This was originally released by the band in an edition of 500 copies in 1986. It's very hard to get your hands on the original, so we're here to bring this nice Reproduction! Created directly from the original Masters, you know this one sounds nice! This is a must have for fans of early to mid 80's USHC like CIA, BATALLION OF SAINTS, WHITE CROSS and all the good stuff like that! Hardcore for the hardcore, get in or get out! One time pressing of this one, limited to 1000 copies. 300 on Yellow, 700 on Black. The First 250 orders from us get the Yellow Vinyl.

NW-24: HUMAN MESS - Uncaged Animal EP

Hailing from Bakersfield, CA- These punks blast out 5 tracks here on their debut ep entitled, "Uncaged Animal." That's exactly what this record is, lashing out with raw, pure, violent mayhem! To get close to what this sounds like, you could take early Poison Idea, and mix it with GERMS, and you wont be too far away. This band also shares members with CONTAMINATORS and LOSER LIFE so you know they know what they're doing here. Look for an lp on NO WAY also, and a 2nd ep soon on Going Underground. First 150 orders get WHITE VINYL.

NW-25: ANTI YOU - Making Your Life Miserable EP

Originally released on cd from SOA Records a year or so ago, this album was too damn good not to be on vinyl. 12 songs in under 10 minutes here, all killer, no filler. From Italy, these guys take cues from early US and Italian HC and ends up merging the 2 in a whirlwind of Sonic Fury. If you enjoyed the "Pig City Life" One sided ep, You'll definetly shit a brick over this one. Look Out for a track on the next NO BULLSHIT compilation as well. First 200 orders get RED VINYL.

NW-26: CIVIC PROGRESS - Petroleum Man EP

Killer St. Louis, MO hardcore that is full of negative energy and frustration. 7 Songs on this steamroller, and not one of them is a dud. You may remember this ep coming out a while ago on No Wire records, which sold out really quickly- so the band asked us to a bigger press to get it back out there for the punks. This versions is remastered loud as hell, and we've made brand new art and layout to make a distinct difference from the 1st pressing. "Petroleum Man" is raw, aggressive, and just plain mean. First 250 get limited RED cover, as opposed to the more available Black and Metallic Silver one shown here.

Now head over to the store section and order these and some other distro goods would ya? Stay tuned here for more info later. Get in touch for wholesale rates. Thanks!

FEBRUARY 28th, 2008

INSOMNIO- "Walking on the String" ep OUT NOW!
After a little wait, this ep is now available. 4 songs of killer spanish punk for fans of old punk/hc where the song matters a little more than the noise. Catchy as hell, but still hardcore in the way that REAGAN YOUTH, BLITZ, and DESCENDENTS were. This is also a must have for fans of newer bands like PELIGRO SOCIAL or NO HOPE FOR THE KIDS. Their lp is absolutely killer, and this was recorded at the very same time, so it's no bullshit. Check out the release section for an mp3 if you're still wondering.
