gutzonborglum Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Dead Broke Rekerds and Dirt Cult Records are co-releasing this split.Stream two songs here: http://noisey.vice.com/blog/iron-chic-low-cultures-split-ep-streamColor copies can be picked up through both outlets: Dirt Cult Records Dead Broke Rekerds From dirtcultrecords.com:DESCRIPTIONThis is a preorder! These records will hopefully ship late November, but with the uncertainty at the plants these days, that date might get pushed into December.Having toured together on the East Coast/Canada as well as well as the Southwestern desert, the Iron Chic and Low Culture decided that the next logical step would be to release a split 7" - and not just a split 7", but a split label/split 7" between Mike from Iron Chic's Dead Broke Records and Chris from Low Culture's Dirt Cult Records.Iron Chic - Fucking fantastic existential, anthemic, and melodic punk rock. I don't really feel the need to say much more. You know who these guys are. This is their first release since their well received, Bridge Nine released "The Constant One" LP last year.Low Culture - After releasing their debut LP "Screens" in 2013 on Dirtnap Records, the band has seen members fan out all over the place (including Santa Fe, El Paso, and Portland). But there's no plans of slowing down (too much). Features members of Shang-A-Lang and Marked Men, and sounds pretty much like a cross between the 2 bands, with the former’s distinct songwriting style mashed together with the latter’s tighter, cleaner performances. These recordings are the results of the band’s first trip into a “pro” recording studio, sounding cleaner but no less effective than past material.Here's the color breakdown for the first press:200 Orange (Dirt Cult "exclusive" color)200 blue (Dead Broke "exclusive" color)400 green700 black100 tests ("Fest" edition) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadbrokerekerds Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Can you fix the dead broke link? I was gonna post info here: http://www.deadbrokerecords.com/store Color copies available from BOTH labels. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkinglot Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 They probably needed some in advance to sell at fest so they just did a run of 100 tests. Nothing wrong with that. It's not like they're going to be selling them for test press prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gutzonborglum Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Flip one towards me at cost. I can't go and if these are 1 per person, I'm screwed, and the Iron Chic collection hits a snag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahigby Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I hope I can find a way to snag a copy of the "Fest" version of the Iron Chic / Low Culture split as well. There's no way I can make it to the show, so I hope a few of them get posted at the Dead Broke or Dirt Cult stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with that. It's not like they're going to be selling them for test press prices. An out of 100 release should never be called a "test". Just call it a Fest Edition and leave it at that. I'm not at all trying to slam this release. In fact I will be buying it. But calling a pressing of 100 a test press is gimmicky and unnecessary.

gutzonborglum Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 In the argument of semantics, this technically is a test press. I don't believe it's written anywhere in the bylaws that a test press needs to be constituted as a pressing of between two and ten records. This really seems to be an occurrence now more than ever due to the fact that there are such backups at the pressing plants. I know of a handful of labels who are selling test pressings of albums just to hold people over until the actual release date, which got pushed back; not to mention the bands who do this so they can actually have something physical to sell on tour. Seems to be more of a 'life gives you lemons' situation for these people than it is a gimmicky money-grab. I love it.

But the 100 sold at fest will still have been approved before they go on sale right? As soon as a release has been approved I don't know how you can call it a test press... these are simply just the first hundred that get produced.

trevorxramage Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Nit picking. Jesus. Not nit picking, now I'm looking for some clarification... If they're selling tests that haven't been approved yet I'd like to know so I can wait to pick it up after it's been given the green light. Call me crazy, I'm one of those guys that actually prefers my records sound good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying they're going to sound like shit but calling it a test and then saying you're rushing to have 100 ready for fest leads me to believe there won't be time to test them.

trevorxramage Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 If they are in fact just the first 100 off the line then that's rad and I'm stoked for everyone who ends up with one. But I'll still lol every time I see a little test press label beside it in their tradelists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 There will be 100 test presses made. That is what is happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtcult Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 This shit is funny. They are totally test pressings. We ordered 100 tests, taking a gamble that they would sound good. We got them Friday and approved them today...because they do. Shinji, trevorxramage and gutzonborglum 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
