FAR-022 DAKOTA/DAKOTA - Shoot in the Dark+ LP (2018 reissue) Hey, I hate money, so I decided to reissue this discography LP for the band Dakota/Dakota from Chicago. They broke up 15 years ago. Members went on to form way more famous bands like Russian Circles, Bloodiest, RLYR, Lasers and Fast and Shit, JOB, etc. etc. Instrumental indie/math rock that has since been mutated into the emo revival. Only these guys never bothered with any of the pop punk stuff and just wanked the whole time. So if you like wanky instrumental music, give it a listen. We did it up real nice - random colored vinyl, fancy spot gloss jackets, and even a handful of WAX MAGE vinyl copies. Stream it all here: https://forgeagainrecords.bandcamp.com/album/shoot-in-the-dark

Yo dudes, new release! Here's the pitch: Besides having one of the best band names in the world, LASERS AND FAST AND SHIT also have what Tiny Grooves described as “one hell of a propulsive fiery art damaged punk sound. Mix in the brash angular punk of LES SAVY FAV, the garage thump of the MISTREATERS, the hardcore thrash of DOUBLE DAGGER and the noise riffing of DRIVE LIKE JEHU... and maybe throw in some BIG BLACK, NATION OF ULYSSES and JESUS LIZARD for good measure..... what you get is some of the most engaging hardcore tinged punk rock that doesn't follow those boring old formulas." Featuring current and former members of BLOODIEST, RUSSIAN CIRCLES, and SHAPERS, LASERS previously cranked out a self-released 7" and a cassette EP for Hewhocorrupts, Inc.. With Third: Munch, the fog/lights/noise whirlwind that is LASERS AND FAST AND SHIT is finally unleashing their first full length LP. Recorded by Mike Lust at Kingsize Studios and mastered by Erik Rasmussen, the first pressing is limited to just 200 copies on red vinyl with silk-screened polybags and full color sleeves. LASERS will be playing a series of FREE shows this weekend to celebrate this release. They'll be playing at Record Breakers (Reggie's) in Chicago on Saturday, April 18th at 11 AM as part of Record Store Day. And if that's not enough for you, they're also playing that same day at the Reckless Records on Milwaukee Ave. at 2 PM. And if THAT isn't enough, they are playing a FREE record release show on 4/20 at the Empty Bottle with FAKE LIMBS and VELOCICOPTER. For now, starting Saturday you'll be able to get the record exclusive at Record Breakers and Reckless. You can also order it direct from us or pick up a copy from the band at the Empty Bottle on Monday. Order and stream a few of the tracks NOW at Forge Again Records Bandcamp page. Here's a sneak peak of the LP and my cat for good measure.
