Marriage Pool Blunt

The second full-length from Austin, Texas-based quintet, Marriage, which includes former Black Eyes drummer, Mike Kanin. As with the band’s earlier work, the music is heavy on percussion and distortion – a shifting balance of drums and lo-fi psychedelic gristle, of order and madness. Recommended.

Cigarette Chapel Songs

Four songs and five interludes by Washington, DC's Cigarette. Romantic and reverb-laden pop music recorded more-or-less live at St. Stephen and the Incarnation Episcopal Church by Kevin Erickson.

On November 23, Dischord will release Youth Brigade’s Complete First Demo. A quartet featuring singer Nathan Strejcek, drummer Danny Ingram, bassist Bert Queiroz, and guitarist Tom Clinton, Youth Brigade played its first show in March of 1981. The band lasted a little over a year and released only 11 songs between the Possible EP and Flex Your Head compilation.

This 7” single – which has been pressed on yellow vinyl – collects the eight tracks that Youth Brigade recorded with Don Zientara and Skip Groff in the summer of 1981 during its first recording session, many of which have never been officially released.
