It's probably obvious that we've been on a hiatus with the label side of things. The distro has been updated every month or so and we've also listed some used stuff on Discogs (username SLUGSALT). Who knows what the future holds, but 2021 might see something new for us.

Been a long year!? Sit back, relax, and take the biggest bite possible out of this new Red Delicious record. It's got everything I want from a punk band in 2018. Just the right level of recording fidelity, gritty vocals in Portuguese, catchy punk riffs, and great art. The band will be touring south from Chicago to This Is Austin Not That Great Vol. 3 in early January, but if you live in the southeast, you'll be able to catch them at the list of dates below. Their homecoming record release gig will be on 1/19/19 with Hank Wood & the Hammerheads @ The Fallout in Chicago.
A longtime in the waiting, the Mask "World Gone Crazy" cassette is also available. Originally self-released by the band in 2017, it has since been sold out. A recording project from members of Urochromes, The Guests, and Stagger bring us a 5 song dark punk demo worthy of a new batch of tapes. Updated art by Sebbe Elbourne.
