Preorders for the Totally Slow//Black Market split 7" are now live in our webstore, so you should go check it out!!! Both bands are really awesome and are some of the best kept secret bands of the southeast. Totally Slow features ex members of Rights Reserved, Eagle Bravo, Manamid, Decoration Ghost and so many more. We released their debut LP in 2013 and it is really awesome, if you haven't checked it out, you really are missing out! The best years of California pop-punk and early Merge Records, rolled into one. Black Market is a little bit newer, but all members have definitely "done their time" in the "scene," for lack of a better way to describe them. Features ex members of Light the Fuse and Run (RVA- Level Plane Records, known for their split with Hot Cross) and Forcefedglass (MA- featuring Ben Koller of Converge). Black Market sounds nothing like those bands. Instead of spazzy post-hardcore or blistering fast punk, Black Market is more garage rock sensibility with 90s punks intensity. Basically loud post hardcore that knows when to get loud, but also knows when to get crazy. It'll make sense when you hear it. The band previously released a collection of their 2013 EPs, "One Year Old," via Death to False Hope Records. Totally Slow will be playing THE FEST on Saturday, November 1st at Durty Nelly's. The band will have advance copies of the split (tests) in a very very limited quantity. If you are interested in picking this variant up, then make a beeline to the venue and nab it up. The 7" EP is limited to 300 copies of randomly mixed color vinyl.The release features 4 new tracks (2 from each band) on the record w/ two additional digital only songs! The digital versions are covers of each others songs. This was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Kris Hilbert at Legitimate Business. Side A: 1. Totally Slow- Blank Paper Sides 2. Black Market- Hangover Hobby Kit Side B: 3. Black Market- No Brain 4. Totally Slow- The End of Air Digital only: 1. Black Market- Phone (Totally Slow) 2. Totally Slow- Basement Dweller (Black Market) Under The Gun Review premiered a Black Market track, "No Brain," from the split, so make sure you check that out as well. http://www.underthegunreview.net/2014/09/29/utg-premiere-black-market-no-brain/ PREORDER HERE!!!

I'm putting out the debut LP for an awesome North Carolina band called TOTALLY SLOW. The band features ex members of Rights Reserved, Eagle Bravo, Decoration Ghost, Manamid and a few others. TOTALLY SLOW makes me think of 80s California punk ala Agent Orange, Adolescents, Descendents mixed with early Lookout! Records bands and maybe even influenced by 90s indie/punk ala Archers of Loaf and early Superchunk. Fun, surfy, and thoughtful punk. The LP is being released jointly, by SELF AWARE and HEADFIRST! Records. It will be limited to 500 copies on clear red vinyl. Preorders are now up, so check it out please!!! This band does not dissapoint. http://selfawarerecords.storenvy.com/products/1901684-totally-slow-s-t-12-lp-w-digital-download [selfawarerecords.storenvy.com] » (PREORDER) http://www.selfawarerecords.com [www.selfawarerecords.com] » http://headfirstrecords.limitedrun.com [headfirstrecords.limitedrun.com] »
