NEW RELEASES: SCHOOL JERKS "S/T" LP and NIGHT BIRDS "Fresh Kills Vol. 1" LP OUT NOW!

We've been talking about these records for the better part of 2012, and couldn't be more thrilled to announce that both the new LP from Toronto's SCHOOL JERKS and the LP version of the NIGHT BIRDS singles collection are now available for order!

Both of these releases are in house and ready to roll, we should begin shipping them first thing next week (but please read the little disclaimer below). We've got some special limited versions for mailorder; for the NIGHT BIRDS "Fresh Kills Vol. 1" LP we've screened up some very nice OBI strips. There will be 200 copies with the limited OBI strip, half will be available through the Grave Mistake Webstore, and the other half will be available from the band themselves - split up between their website and in person at their two record release shows this week (see info on those below).  For the SCHOOL JERKS "S/T" LP, we've got a few copies on some nice, um, "slime" green vinyl! Killer! The band will also have copies on their short and sweet Midwest / East Coast Tour (Dates Below).

Limited versions are on a first come, first served basis and the NIGHT BIRDS OBI Strip version is limited to one copy per customer (NO exceptions, sorry). These will begin shipping the week of August 28th, but please be patient as I tend to get a bit backed up around new release time! I also have a little vacation planned for early September, so please allow a little longer than normal for delivery. Your patience and support is GREATLY appreciated!
 
 
 
GRAVE054: SCHOOL JERKS "S/T" LP
"Rawer than Raw Punk.  Harder than Hardcore.  This is punk for 2012." After three killer 7" EPs, Toronto's SCHOOL JERKS finally deliver their first LP - thirteen songs at 45 RPM.  For the unfortunate souls still needing an introduction to the sounds of the SCHOOL JERKS, what you can expect are thirteen blasts of primal hardcore punk, stripped down to the core leaving very little room for misinterpretation.  We'll spare you the comparisons, but if you prefer your hardcore restrained in a straightjacket and locked in a rubber room, you need this LP.  Includes a Risograph poster, and more artwork by SCHOOL JERKS 'in house artist' Tara Bursey. Split release with the band's new Bad Vibrations record label.

GRAVE055: NIGHT BIRDS "Fresh Kills Vol. 1" LP
With the NIGHT BIRDS first three 7" singles all now out of print, we decided that the easiest solution to keep these tunes available on vinyl for the masses would be to press up the "Fresh Kills Vol. 1" collection onto 12" format!  This LP compiles the first two years of the band's existence; including their 2009 demo, their highly sought after "Killer Waves" 7" on Art of the Underground, the "Self-Titled" EP on Dirtnap / Grave Mistake, and their "Midnight Movies" 7" on No Way Records; 15 tracks in all.  We've also added concise liner notes from the band discussing each release collected on this LP. These Jersey boys take all of the best elements from bands like ADOLESCENTS, D.I., AGENT ORANGE, and DEAD KENNEDYS (to name a few), to create some of the most infectious snotty surf-influenced hardcore punk this side of Rikk Agnew's cat corpse.
