BIG EYES "Back from the Moon" 7" and BLOODY GEARS "Frozen Rain" 7" OUT NOW!

 
 
Two brand new 7"s out now! The BLOODY GEARS "Frozen Rain" 7" (GRAVE052) and BIG EYES "Back from the Moon" 7" (GRAVE053) are now available for order in the Grave Mistake Webstore! I've got limited colored vinyl for each, Grey Vinyl for BLOODY GEARS and White Vinyl for BIG EYES!  I also have tracks from each release streaming on the Grave Mistake Bandcamp page (both EPs are also available here for full Digital Download). I've also added some killer new stuff to the distro (brand new TERRIBLE FEELINGS LP!), and those are listed below. Here is the info on both of the new releases ...

GRAVE053: BIG EYES "Back from the Moon" 7"
The follow up to their highly acclaimed "Hard Life" LP, the newest single from Seattle's BIG EYES might just be their catchiest material to date (and that is saying a lot)!  This double A-side slab delivers two incredible tracks that will leave you wishing there was a whole LPs worth of new material.  With big, poppy riffs and catchy choruses, the East Coast roots of BIG EYES shine through alongside a healthy dose of grit, attitude and tons of energy.  Drawing from a range of influences that span across decades of rock and roll - from Cheap Trick and Alice Cooper to the Ramones, Descendents, and The Muffs - BIG EYES bring a refreshing and distinct element to their melodic power-pop-punk sound.
 
 
GRAVE052: BLOODY GEARS "Frozen Rain" 7"
Boston, MA's BLOODY GEARS bring us the long-awaited follow up to their 2010 debut EP, an exclusive 7" single from their forthcoming LP, "Landscapes of Disease", due out in May 2012 on Deranged Records. More atmospheric and brooding than their previous material, the A-Side track "Frozen Rain" finds the band exploring new, yet familiar, territory in the realm of dark and ominous melodic punk. This single version of "Frozen Rain" contains a different mix than the LP version, with added instrumentation. The flip side picks the pace up with two additional non-LP tracks; one of which is brand new and exclusive to this 7", the other a rerecorded version of "Bite the Hand" off of their 2009 demo. Drawing their own sound from punk, post punk, and hardcore, BLOODY GEARS have often been compared to bands like the Wipers, Husker Du, Moving Targets, or Articles of Faith.
 
 
These releases should be hitting your favorite stores and distros later in the month as well.  Please get in touch if you would like to carry copies of these or any other Grave Mistake releases for your store or distro. Labels, hit me up for potential trades as well.  If you do a zine, blog, website, or write reviews and would like to possibly receive promo copies, drop me a line!

BIG EYES "Back from the Moon" US / Canada Tour starts this week, you can check out all of the tour info HERE.

I also added a few new records to the webstore, including the new TERRIBLE FEELINGS "Shadows" LP on DERANGED (this one is HOT off the press), the newest GG KING 7", an LP from Australia's HELTA SKELTA, the second NO POWER 7", a cool single from THE NERVOUS, a bunch of random leftover shirts from GOVERMENT WARNING, DIRECT CONTROL, and NIGHT BIRDS, and some restocks of the first BRAIN F≠ 7", GLAM 7", the last SHITTY LIMITS 7", two OBN IIIs 7"s and their LP, and a bunch more.

NEW FOR 04.13.12:

BIG EYES "BACK FROM THE MOON" 7" (GRAVE053)
The follow up to their highly acclaimed "Hard Life" LP (2011), the newest single from Seattle's BIG EYES might just be their catchiest material to date (and that is saying a lot)!  This double A-side slab delivers two new incredible tracks that will leave you wishing there was a whole LPs worth of new material.  With big, poppy riffs and catchy choruses, the East Coast roots of BIG EYES shine through alongside a healthy dose of grit, attitude and tons of energy.  Drawing from a range of influences that span across decades of rock and roll - from Cheap Trick and Alice Cooper to the Ramones, Descendents, and The Muffs - BIG EYES bring a refreshing and distinct element to their melodic power-pop-punk sound.

BLOODY GEARS "FROZEN RAIN" 7" (GRAVE052)
Boston, MA's BLOODY GEARS bring us the long-awaited follow up to their 2010 debut EP, an exclusive 7" single from their forthcoming LP, "Landscapes of Disease", due out in May 2012 on Deranged Records. More atmospheric and brooding than their previous material, the A-Side track "Frozen Rain" finds the band exploring new, yet familiar, territory in the realm of dark and ominous melodic punk. This single version of "Frozen Rain" contains a different mix than the LP version, with added instrumentation. The flip side picks the pace up with two additional non-LP tracks; one of which is brand new and exclusive to this 7", the other a rerecorded version of "Bite the Hand" off of their 2009 demo. Drawing their own sound from punk, post punk, and hardcore, BLOODY GEARS have often been compared to bands like the Wipers, Husker Du, Moving Targets, or Articles of Faith.

TERRIBLE FEELINGS "SHADOWS" LP (DERANGED)
After infinite discussions concerning aesthetics, lyricism and musical preferences, “Terrible Feelings” was chosen as the most fitting name for this musical outfit, which saw the light of day sometime late summer 2009, in Malmö, Sweden. Whilst the band may have its origins in an eternally blossoming punk scene, Terrible Feelings represents so much more than that.  With music and lyrics rooted in 70s devil-worshipping hard rock and 80s spleeny new wave, Terrible Feelings play a sophisticated and gloomy mixture of power pop and punk.

HELTA SKELTA "S/T" LP (HELTA SKELTA)
Some might remember these guys dropping a great demo tape over a year and a half ago and then mysteriously disappearing. Well thankfully Perth's Helta Skelta have returned with a new self released LP. The fact that they've covered both SSD and now 70s Perth band The Victims shows the mix of influences going on here, total garage meets hardcore blend done very well. Definitely one of the better Australian releases to come out this year. Only 250 copies were pressed so grab it now or regret it later!

GG KING "JOYLESS MASTURBATION" 7" (TOTAL PUNK)
Total Punk is back with two more tracks of PUNK TOTALITY!!! This time we bring you a two track single from ex-Carbonas front man Greg King and his super group of Atlanta cohorts. GG King has quickly silenced the legions of heart broken Carbonas fans with a solid run of 7" singles followed by the best punk LP of 2011. This is his first offering since and HOT DAMN! this shit RULZ! "Joyless Masturbation" is four and a half minutes of dark pummeling Rikk Agnew style punk with layers of loud squelching guitars and a repetitive hook that pounds its way into your head. On the flip side we have "Bag", a two minute blast of biting punk harkening back to the days of the Carbonas. TOTALLY PUNK AND TOTALLY ESSENTIAL!!!

NERVOUS, THE "GENITAL PANIC" 7" (NERVOUS)
"Debut EP by this AWESOME new lady-fronted punk band from Denver. Four songs, and they're all total killers... the basis is straight up catchy punk a la the early Dangerhouse singles, but delivered with a HC energy. The vocalist has a powerful bellow that kind of reminds me of Terry from Foreign Objects, but since the music is far less quirky and more straightforwardly punk than FO the melodies pop a whole lot more. Highly recommended, and tough to find since it's self-released, very limited, and only has minimal distribution." - sorrystaterecords.com

NO POWER "DISTORT" 7" (LUNCHBOX)
Charlotte's NÖ PÖWER have created a mess of d-beat, punk, and noise on this platter. Super RAW and depressing hardcore with equal parts Japanese worship and psychedelic ambition. Released in conjunction with "NO AXIS", a second 7" released by Inkblot Records and local-label Self Aware, "DISTORT" is the bastard child of the pair of records. Recorded, written, and released by NÖ PÖWER. Mastered by Josh Bonati. (members of GRIDS, METH MOUNTAIN, OBSTRUCTION, etc.).

TRENCH ROT "S/T" 7" (DO SOME HARM)
Is one southern California’s newest hardcore / D beat band. And is made up of members all coming from active HC bands that helped make up the socal HC scene for the last 5 years. Their sound has been compared to poison idea meets negative approach with Swedish d beat sound thrown in. THIS 7” IS 5 TRACKS AND ONLY 500 PRESSED

DEATH CRISIS "S/T" 7" (TOO OLD TO DIE)
"6-song debut 7" from this San Diego that features former members of Life Crisis, and holy shit does this thing SMOKE! These guys pick up where Life Crisis left off in terms of producing bulldozer, Record Collectors-inspired hardcore, but they add in some sick Die Kreuzen-esque creepy tremolo leads and burly as fuck vocals that are mostly sung en español. Holy shit we have a ripper here! " - sorrystaterecords.com

DEATH CRISIS / DIATRIBE - SPLIT 7" (TOO OLD TO DIE)
"As on their killer previous 7", San Diego's Death Crisis pick up right where their old band Life Crisis left off with some killer, slightly metallic HC that sounds like Pushead would have been really into it if it came out in the 80s... in fact, it reminds me a little bit of Pushead's own band Septic Death, and that's a comparison you don't see too often. As for Diatribe, they are a legendary d-beat band that had an obscure demo 20 years ago that strongly influenced bands like Disclose. A lot of old d-beat bands that have re-formed don't really seem to get it anymore, but Diatribe definitely do! Their 3 songs are noisy bursts of pure, Discharge-influenced crust. While not quite as epic as their long-lost demo, they still wave the Dis-banner proudly. " - sorrystaterecords.com

GLOBSTERS "ROCK AND ROLL MISERY" 7" (SPHC)
Punk rock often focuses so much on hip and hyped big city scenes that we forget that punk is more than just fashionable young people going through their expected motions. Predictable style, cool personalities, high school politicking; destroy it all. Globsters is a resounding wake-up call that punk should be for true freaks and geeks, an open door for those unable to fit into the beaten path that society at large will offer us. One lone man in Hazard KY making the most genuine, heartfelt, and deeply inspiring punk rock currently to be found in the US. This new 7" trades in the tape-spliced style of the first 7" for real instrumentation and a wider variety of songwriting, from short/fast/loud ragers to metal headbangers to mid-tempo melodic love songs. I would say it is a 1.0 on the Muta scale.

NUKLEAR BLAST SUNTAN "THE WHEEL OF FATE IS TURNING" 7" (SPHC)
Next noise bomb from my favorite GA band. A little more straight-forward stylistically than their alien psych-crustcore LP but fuck, those riffs!!!!! These 3 songs get stuck in my head for days. One longer song, two shorter and more chaotic bangers. Comparisons to Antischism and Initial State are obvious, comparisons to Disrupt a little less so but the brutality still warrants it.

VIVID SEKT "A DECEPTION OF DESIRE 2007-2010" CD (CRYSIS)
Portland's Vivid Sekt's features members of similarly influenced bands Arctic Flowers and Moral Hex but Vivid Sekt is different in that they do not retain the hardcore elements of the former nor the more new wave/post punk sounds of the later proving that Vivid Sekt is a DIY punk band through and through.This CD contains 12 tracks of their works from 2007-2010. New anarcho punk classic.
