hickey Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 It's up now at Dirtnap/Green Noise. First 200 red vinyl. http://www.greennoiserecords.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=20709 NEW. DIRTNAP RECORDS. 3rd album from Dirtnap Records North Texas super-group! The current lineup of High Tension Wires features Mike Wiebe (Riverboat Gamblers), Mark Ryan (Marked Men/Mind Spiders), Chris Pulliam (The Reds), plus Daniel Fried and Greg Rutherford (both of the just-signed-to-Dirtnap The Bad Sports, the live incarnation of The Mind Spiders, and way too many other Denton bands to mention). Past lineups have included Jeff Burke and Mike Throneberry of The Marked Men. 2011 brings us Welcome New Machine, a perfect synthesis of their previous 2 albums. Rocks as hard as Send A Message, while incorporating the nuances they began developing on Midnight Cashier. A fair amount of ground is covered here, from the Marked Men's trademark choppy pop sound to straightforward punk, to darker-edged postpunk, some new-wavey bits, and an absolutely stunning Teengenerate-style garagepunk ripper sung by Mark Ryan, all capped off by Mike Wiebe's seemingly endless font of unusual, interesting lyrics. FIRST 200 ON RED VINYL, AVAILABLE VIA MAILORDER ONLY. All copies come with download card. Vinyl/digital only, no CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konk Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Thanks for posting. I've been checking all day. Picked up a black one at SXSW, but haven't listened to it yet. They were good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konk Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I didn't get a red one, even though I ordered on 3/23. There's only 100 so far and I guess they sold out in a day. There may be 100 more, but it doesn't look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
controlthebleeding Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 i still have yet to get mine. and i ordered mine a while back. supposedly i got a red one and there was some damage to them, so they had to make a fresh batch or some shit. nonetheless, i'm sure no news is good news regarding the red. band rules nonetheless.

konk Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Well here's what really happened. I hadn't received my order either, so I emailed Ken. He said that they were already gone by the time I ordered and that he didn't know why I hadn't received a refund. He gave me a refund for everything I ordered. That's when I asked how many there were total and he said the plant had a problem with the center labels, but they weren't getting back to him, so he wasn't holding his breath. Sucks, but shit happens. I just wish I had been notified sooner so I could've bought the $20 BIN on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
