Today is the day – Kylesa’s “Static Tensions” album is officially released in stores. Go pick up a copy!

Stormcrow live at Burnt Ramen in Richmond, California a few weeks ago. Wearing more white than any crust band, ever.

The Kylesa 2xLPs are sold out now. You might still be able to get a copy at Phantom City in Olympia, but internet sales are Said And Done (I cannot stop using this pun…).

Stormcrow/Laudanum Split LP invades Phantom City. On sale in a few weeks.
