Tonight in DC!

Up top!

ACID PROBLEM - S/T 12" IS OUT NOW!!!! WOW!!! "Acid Problem have emerged from Brooklyn with a stellar 12” e.p that combines the experimentation and tangential riffs of later era Black Flag with the powerful driving song structures of more modern offerings like Condominium or Slices. Not afraid to take a walk on the demented side these 5 songs still remain white-knuckle gripped to pounding guitar lines in a centrifuge of frantic hc punk sensibilities. Fans of hc punk ranging from Cold Sweat to early Flipper will find an immediate bond with this release from 16oh records. Elements of this s/t effort verge toward straight up pounding hc punk only to turn upon itself in a possessed ferocity as if constantly at war with itself. Any listener duped into feeling this is another straightforward hc release is soon jolted by frenetic unease and palpable agitation that make any moments of ease not only unattainable but unimaginable. Impossible to pigeon-hole but immensely satisfying this is a debut that compels you to re-set the needle as soon as it ends." - Richard Boe 211 copies on STEEL RESERVE BLUE. Act now while supplies last! The entire 12" is streaming here: http://acidproblem.bandcamp.com/ Order here: http://16oh.bigcartel.com/product/acid-problem-s-t-12 Get in touch at [email protected] for wholesale or trades. UP SOON: Grudges - Abuse 7" This is almost done. I had tests made for the bands tour but we found an issue with the a side of the record. This will be getting rectified soon and then the rest of the press will be out and available. A guy at Joint Custody told me "Bad ass this sounds totally like Nasum" so maybe if you like Nasum you'll dig this record! OTHERS: Sick Plot 7" tests are approved, resuming artwork soon! Swann Danger 7" tests are approved and order is in for the artwork. I'm an idiot and we made tip on sleeves for this record. It's going to be bad fucking ass. I've always wanted to do one and what better format than a 7" right? St. Dad LP tests are somewhere? I think some are coming to me soon. The Scam LP is in production! Mindless 7" about to enter production. DISTRO UPDATE! I just put up a ton of Bastard Noise, Copout and other cool joints in the distro. Get at it while they last! I'll have more up soon. http://16oh.bigcartel.com/ And thanks once again for supporting this label. It's a labor of love and I appreciate all support! Enjoi.

After a bunch of hard work and dilligence, I present to you a weird wild world as envisioned by SLEEPiES. Approximately a year ago I was in a basement in Brooklyn having my mind expanded by these gentlemen. A year changes a lot of things, when SLEEPiES and I first talked we were going to just do a 7" of songs they had already recorded, but I feel we both knew they could do something much better. A kickstarter, some hilarious mishaps and a bunch of effort later the LP is done, and out. SLEEPiES remind me a lot of that band that came before Drive Like Jehu called Pitchfork. Oddly enough the record was mentioned in Pitchfork. Comparisons are all over the place but I hear something very original when I listen to this band, and this record. It's hard to innovate in a sea of mediocore bands but I feel as if SLEEPiES definitely do. Join me in this celebration and let your freak flag free in the Weird Wild World. Engineered by Ben Greenberg, mastered by Josh Bonati, pressed at Bill Smith Custom Records with nice full color LP jackets and center labels. No expenses spared! Listen to a track here: http://soundcloud.com/jeffry-engberg/sleepies-cool-boy Here is a neat music video that was made for the LP, it is neat! SLEEPiES are on a tour to support the LP and have copies with them. Go out to a show and buy one if you got a chance!

Some boner. Most SST tests are pretty common. A lot of them were circulated to radio stations much in the same way Dischord did with Out Of Step, etc... My War as a test is pretty hard to get. Mine came with an insert, which is even harder to get it would seem. No idea on the numbers but take a look see on how often it has sold in the past 10 years and it will give you an inkling of how many are out there in the wild. Dukowski sold me the majority of the tests I have, I'm still missing Damaged, Jealous Again, and the 7" tests. From his knowledge there is no test of Nervous Breakdown as well, at least from the first press.

I know, My War tests are just way too common nowadays.

That copy of My War on blue? Within the last couple of years. Why now? You mean why forever? Because Greg likes to smoke weed and play guitar and hang with cats. I'm 28 and reading this board makes me feel like I'm 40.
