New 7"es in distro/ Tours and tours

Added some new titles to the distro- CRUCIAL SECTION, LOUTISH, STRAINS OF THE APOCALYPSE, SLAPENDEHONDEN/ TERRORAZOR, and SFN. That SFN EP has got to retroactively be my favorite 7" of 2010. Brutal fucking left field powerviolence all the waaaaaaay yo. Or something. Of course all these records are worthy of your time and five-spot. Vancouver skids, I'll be at the ALF HOUSE show on Sunday w/ FROM THE DEPTHS, PLAGUE MASS and AHNA, there's not a spare inch in that house to set up a distro but get in touch and I can bring anything you might want.

CIRCLE THE WAGONS western Canadian tourdates coming soon. bbr015 and 016 being announced soon, more on that lay-turr.

So...

...I added a couple new jams to the distro, all really good (AxRxM 7", Conflict Resolution 7", Fake Out/ Female Snake split 7"). Fans of violent power take note.
 Also check out the new Circle the Wagons Reverbnation page Western Canadian tourdates with the Dayglo Abortions forthcoming.

Small distro update

Couple new rex in ye olde distroe... AFTERNOON GENTLEMEN/ OSK split 7"... AG are raging grinding violence from the UK that are one of the best bands these ears have heard in some time. OSK you should know by now, four splits in and they haven't had a misstep yet. Crazed fast fucking powerviolence that crams as many riffs as possible onto one side of a 45. Brilliant release.

Also got in the GODEATER/ KURT RUSSEL split 7". GODEATER play some wicked brutal powerviolence along the lines of CROSSED OUT and KURT RUSSELL sound exactly like you think a band called KRT RUSSELL would sound. Solid slab.

Tonight and tomorrow...

War Hero's last shows ever (Vancouver tonight, Squamish tomorrow). I'll be at the show tonight at the Chateau Noir with Osk, Six Brew Bantha, Young Oppression and Ahna. This lineup is so good I expect a parade. I'll have the 7" distro and if you want a 12" or CD drop me a line and I can bring it down.
Speaking of the Bantha, this rad Italian blog did a lengthy review of the 7", check it here
