crawl

recently got to show some art at the Austin School of Film (alongside BRYAN LEE TAYLOR, who is amazing).  i never attend my own galleries, but wish i would have this time because faiza arranged for CRAWL to play the opening.  one man pummeling, cycling, harsh doom/drone.  with all percussion, bass, and noise performed live solo as well.  and from what i understand the sheer volume shakes any room he plays.  not to fear, alex got me the tape.  which came in these amazing all black shells with no window that appear to be spray painted black as well.  i'm unclear on what the pressing/edition might be, but she told me he had some others with even more elaborate packaging.

SOUTHSIDE

having had a long history with SOUTHSIDE it was nice to get to work with them again.  recently put together this design as a sort of collaborative effort.  being used on a tshirt for them and a poster print for GIVE UP (minus the 'southside' text).  the lettering for the shirts was also put toward some shop decks, with the collaborative shout out on the top.

ANP

went by DOMY BOOKS the other day to drop off copies of my new art ZINE, and while i was there bucky put me up on the new issue of ANP.  it seems they're really started to straddle the line more between high and low since their inception.  leaning more toward an attempted high and high concept  in recent issues, at least per my taste.  but this latest copy, among other things, has a really great article on L.A. punk gangs of the '80s.  really good stuff.

RED RIVE FAMILY COMP cassette

more tapes.  i did the cover art and layout for this RED RIVER FAMILY black metal cassette comp a short minute back and was more than happy to recently receive a physical copy.  RED RIVER FAMILY really hit the ground running as far as launching the label, and look to have quite a bit on the horizon.  seemingly mostly within the raw, more straight forward spectrum of black metal.  but this comp definitely has something to cover most tastes within the genre.

they also sent me a copy of this MOLLEHOJ cassette they did thats just great.  order/download these and others from the RED RIVER FAMILY store HERE.

stagnant youth

more tapes.  hank just gave me this cassette for his new band STAGNANT YOUTH.  recorded completely analog by hanz zimmerman.  raw and dirty d-beat hardcore stuff.  this one will more than likely end up on my best of 2013 list at the end of the year.  download from their bandcamp page HERE.  not sure how to get a physical copy outside of a show.
