Above Them - Split - 7-INCH SINGLE [7 inch Vinyl Disc]

When two punk bands independently submit tracks for a split 7' that address the very same issue (unaware of what the topic the other band was addressing) it's surely a testament that we have a huge problem with the imbalance of wealth and power in society today. Coupled together, complementary in their politics and social outlooks, we are proud to this split 7' before full lengths by both bands later this year. Subhumans are one of the most influential bands from the UK Anarcho-Punk scene of the early 80's, filed right alongside Crass and Conflict, and just as relevant today as they were during the darkest days of Thatcher's Britain. The Restarts began in a different era, the next generation of the punk scene, giving them a narrative based on community and DIY ethics that shines through in their lyrics and music.

Washington State's SIDETRACKED deliver seventeen disjointed, breakneck-speed, experimental powerviolence blasts. Much like SISSY SPACEK did to grind of chopping up songs and making you feel mostly insane and overall anxious, SIDETRACKED lays out some amazing blasting hardcore in such an amazingly chaotic way. Florida/North Carolina/Philadelphia are represented on this NOCOMPLY session. Birthed from the same session as the THEY LIVE split, you have three tracks long enough to sink your teeth into while still blazing fast at points. Both bands have been fine turning their styles for over twenty years so this is the culmination of dedication to their crafts. This split is not to be missed and is limited to 500 copies.

Los Angeles post-punkers SHARK TOYS delight with off-kilter clatter of the highest caliber, possessing a jagged beauty that defies the songs shamble-pop brevity. Swell Maps and Television Personalities flavor the proceedings without dominating, with SHARK TOYS retaining their own American-DIY-art-punk identity through their wonderfully constructed and sonically thrilling songs. From Gainesville Florida, UV-TV's debut vinyl offering is a unique hybrid of infectious psyche-punk and dynamic indiepop. C86/Shop Assistants-esque melodies coupled with pounding toms and soaring dark angular post-punk guitar. This is stripped down 3 piece brutal-pop, with smatterings of feedback, counter balanced perfectly by the sweet melodic vocal delivery of Rose Vastola.
