Back in the Day

Back when I was 16 I was in a political punk band called The Dead Body Men. We were really the only band that sounded like we did in the immediate area. Probably falls under the category of street punk although I hate to admit that, to us it was just punk. I actually released my first record under the label name of Positive Youth Productions. Figured a few of you out there might find this interesting.

Much Respect: Sarah Mitchell


TLAL has a Hot Topic belle helping out here and there. I’ve been hesitant to call people interns but she falls under that umbrella. She has offered her services as a post office gofer and to configure records for sending out. Awesome down the street neighbor, good friend, and now To Live A Lie workhorse. Much respect to her.

Out now: Sissy Spacek – Vanishing Point 7″ flexi

Whoa, thanks everyone. Already gotten quite a few orders for this one and I put it in the store on the sneak since I hadn’t sent band copies out (they are going out today). I don’t even have a good picture or a description up. This is super limited and when it’s gone it’s gone.

Noise god John Wiese is back with his cohorts to pummpel your ears with nonsensical noise-grind. Six songs in a minute and a half. Limited to 250 copies, probably ever.

Out now: Agathocles / Violent Gorge – split 7″

You’ve been waiting awhile for this one. Mince from Belgium meets lofi grind from Canada. Numbers is one of my favorite AGx songs… their whole side sounds like they are trying on the Unholy Grave vocal style, and I love it!

Agathocles – Numbers

ViolentGorge – Picturesque Encystment

Super Sale: $1 Hummingbird Of Death CD+s

The only catch is that this will budget version will come without a plastic case around it. Will roll this up in some cling plastic to keep it safe. All the same music, same artwork, just no case. Deal huh?

Out now: Beartrap – Nailed Shut EP & tour info

Sixteen tracks of ripping thrashing hardcore from Massachusetts. Hailing from this area they are very reminciscent of TERMINAL YOUTH (RIP) and BRAINKILLER, and to me they sound like a hyper-speed version of BLANK STARE. Comes with DIY digital download code.

Out now: Assholeparade – Live in Rostock tape

Budget edition of the 10″, this is all the same music at 1/4 of the price. Pro-dubbed, no imprinting to make it cheap, just good awesome music. Dark red and black limited to 50 copies each, light red limited to 25.
