Raw Justice don't need your friends

YO!

We arranged for a sweet trade with UGLY & PROUD Records from Sofia, Bulgaria and thus will soon have the RAW JUSTICE - we don't need your friends 7" in stock.

It's a three way split release between Straight & Alert records (France), Ugly & Proud records (Bulgaria) and Life To Live records (USA).
S&A are sold out already.

Here's what the labels have to say about the band/release
"RAW JUSTICE is a young band hailling from Nantes, western France, featuring ex and current members of No Solution, Black Page and Regarde Les Hommes Tomber. Formed in the fall of 2012 they recorded their debut 7″ in february 2013. They play no frills and pissed off hardcore, taking influences from the current Boston Scene ( The Rival Mob / No Tolerance / Boston Strangler) or late 90′s youthcrew (Floorpunch). Black 7" limited to 350 copies (70 with an handnumbered "summer tour 2013" cover)

Everybody check out KUMULUS!!


Do any of you like dark melodic instrumental postrock? If so you should definitely check out our friends in Kumulus. They played a great Stepdown showcase with Oathbreaker and Acid Deathtrip about a week ago.

You can check out their tunes here and get all the latest news on their blog.














They just recently recorded 5 songs (~ 35min.) for a soon to be released LP/CD.
If we would have more money we'd be releasing that.

"Variety is the spice of life" I heard

Stay open minded!!


HANGIN' TOUGH 7" pre-order

Yo wassup,
this blogging thing is really taking a back seat to everything else that's going on in my life. Sorry 'bout that. Life's a mess... life's stress... but I won't bore you with the details. You probably know what I'm on about so let's cut to the chase.

After two sold out pressings of the HANGIN' TOUGH demo on Save My Soul Records in 2011 which is available as a free download on their bandcamp or still as the US Tape release on Crackin' Up Tapes we agreed to put out their 7" for which the pre-orders are up for a while already with the Pre-Order sleeve out of 50 copies on black vinyl already being sold out and regular black vinyl edition out of 50 being down to 26 copies available as of now so you better act fast if you still want to get one of those. If you can't be bothered with what color vinyl you get you can relax though. Still plenty of white vinyl copies available.

As a little teaser we put up some Shirt bundles that save you 2€ compared to buying each item seperately. Also this is your ONLY CHANCE to get the Shirt in SIZE XXL. There will probably be more Shirts printed than there are pre-ordered but there will most likely be no XXL available after the pre-order ended. So get on it!!
More Hangin' Tough Shirst are available from their shop.

Here's a snippet of what's to come. Cologne Straight Edge in full effect.

THIS IS DEDICATED TO THE KIDS WHO STICK TO THEIR BELIEFS.... KEEP IT UP!!!


This is GIHC.003

pressing info as we planned it:
50 copies black vinyl + pre-order sleeve
50 copies black vinyl
200 copies white vinyl

exact numbers in the releases section as soon as the records are back from the pressing plant.

Peace out
G.

PS:
For everyone wondering what's happened to no. 2.... we ran into some difficulties that totally are all our fault which we sincerely would like to apologize for but we're still on it. Tapes are with us already we just need to get the covers figured out. That's the problem if you want to do something special but end up realizing you don't have the time for it. SUCKS!!! SORRY!!!!

New GIHC releases info + Distro update

Hello everybody,
here's the current status of our Enterprise ;)

Our first release the MINUTES - narrations about the god of dogs 12" (listen) saw the light of day on April 20th. Unfortunately we ran into some difficulties printing the covers and B-sides so at their release show on said day only the limited edition was ready to go.


and it took us about two months to finally get the regular edition done. But now it's all finished up and we sent some copies out for review. As soon as we get to know about them being out there you can read them here along with the pressing info.

























More releases are in the pipeline:

Counter - demo Tape
raw, fast youth crew from San Francisco

Crushed - Tape
NYHC from.... New York

Hangin' Tough - 7"
Infamous Kings of Straight Edge from Germany who would fit in well with the early Lockin' Out Records roster
