Welcome to summer everyone. Fire up the grills and get the veggie
burgers going! Crack some ice cold Cokes and chill out on the porch
listening to Void, the Carbonas, and Husker Du! Sweat your ass off
in a cramped basement with a crew of stinky freaks. That's what
this time of year is all about!
All colored vinyl for both the Jean Mills Society Torch -
Start Tomorrow 7" and the Breaks - ...Are Broke 7" is all
gone. If you missed out, check your favorite trade list.
We're excited to announce that we will be releasing the debut 7"
EP for Winnipeg's Modern Problems who feature Steve from
Cows and Beer zine and play great snotty and raw hc/punk rooted
in their mid-western forefathers like the Fix and Negative Approach.
Winnipeg's scene has been churning out some great hardcore lately
with bands like Born Bad, Search and Destroy, and Under Pressure
so we're excited to have the opportunity to shine a bit more light
on what's coming out of the area. Look for that towards the end
of the year.
There's loads of new stuff in the distro. Check it out!

Both the Jean Mills Society Torch and the Breaks 7"s
are officially out now and available for order. There are still
some copies of each on color, only available from the bands or by
mailorder through our webstore. Pick 'em up now!

Whoops. I meant to have that MRR ad come out in March, not the March
issue (which comes out in February). My bad. Anyway, the Jean
Mills Society Torch 7" and the Breaks 7" won't be ready
until the end of February or so. I just got the tests in for both
and the JMST sounds great. Unfortunately, the track listing on the
Breaks's 7" is incorrect. That may be my fault. I'm not sure
yet. If it's my fault, it's staying that way cuz I can't afford
to get the plates remade. However, if it's a fault with the mastering,
I'll have to wait for new plates and tests to get made which could
take a month. We'll see what happens. I'll keep ya posted here.
Check back later in the week for pre-order information. In the meantime,
check out the distro catalog as I just got the new Civic Progress
and Rat Shit 7"s in. Both rip. A lot. OK. That's it for now.

Uhhhh...happy new year! So it's been about six months since our
last update. Sorry about that. We weren't asleep or anything, just
busy getting the first three Toxic Pop releases out. We've also
been working on getting stuff together for the next few Firestarter
releases and things are finally under way. Hence, this news update.
So here's what's going on...
We currently have two records at the plant. The Jean Mills Society
Torch 7" is finally in production. A little (acutally, a lot)
later than originally planned but the best things in life are worth
waiting for. We're super psyched to finally get this going and can't
wait to share it with all of you. You've heard us talking it up
for long enough. The wait will soon be over. Hanging out next to
the JMST 7" is the Breaks - "...Are Broke" 7". This
is the last five songs these guys have recorded and even though
the band is dead and gone, we couldn't let these fade off into obscurity
because they rip just as hard as the "Get Saved" stuff.
We should have test presses on both of these in the near future
and then we'll get the pre-ordering going.
After those come out we'll get to work on what at one time was going
to be the Paper Dragons 12" but instead will now be a CD.
Sadly, Paper Dragons called it quits recently so there will be no
shows to pick the album up at or sing and dance along to, but we
think the songs are so damn good there's no way we were going to
let them never see the light of day. The CD is ten songs of super
fun and catchy hardcore punk along the lines of old Lemonheads meets
Circle Jerks meets Jawbreaker...or something like that. It's really
good stuff.
Also coming out around the same time as the Paper Dragons
CD will be the debut single for Run Down who feature Joe
Sulier from the Breaks and Critical Colin from Formaldehyde
Junkies doing some dark punk along the lines of the Damned meets
the Observers.
You can check out brand new mp3s from all of these releases (well,
the JMST one has been up there for a while) in the MEDIA section
of the site. Actually, the Run Down song will not be on the
single but is exclusive to the website. The 7" songs are even better!
As always, the webstore is constantly being stocked and restocked
with great records and CDs so be sure to check it out frequently.
Check back here as well as we'll be posting updates on the upcoming
pre-orders. Until then, take care.
