Here’s some Youtube Vids of Stormcrow and Samothrace from LA Murderfest last month. And one of Coffins from Portland, Oregon. Sound is crap but you get the idea. We’ll try and post some pics from the Coffins / Stormcrow tour in the near future.
Bastard Noise has posted a NEW TRACK titled “Mutant World Of Shame” from their upcoming split CD / LP with The Endless Blockade on their myspace page. It is the first recording they’ve done with the new lineup, and their new direction, which marks a fusing of the modern BN sound with the bass-driven powerviolence of old Man Is The Bastard. The CD version of the split will be released by 20 Buck Spin. The LP version by Deep Six. The CD will contain extra material. We expect an Autumn release for this beast.
New vinyl in stock today and a few CDs on the cheap:
Sonic Youth – The Eternal 2xLP
Sanctum – On The Horizon LP
Krallice – Krallice 2xLP
Destroyer 666 – Phoenix Rising CD
Liers In Wait – Spiritually Uncontrolled Art CD
Kaamos – Kaamos CD (restock)
On August 25th 20 Buck Spin will release the full length album Renihilation by Liturgy from Brooklyn, NY. CD will come first, vinyl will follow eventually. We’ll talk more about this release in the coming weeks, but for now there is an interview up in the Show No Mercy column at Pitchfork that offers a glimpse of what Liturgy is about: READ IT HERE.

For some reason Amazon.com (and maybe some other places?) has 20 Buck Spin listed as the label for some Loop reissues happening soon. That is a mistake. We are not doing any Loop reissues and are not involved with that band in any way. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
We are back in the States after our long visit to the Roman Empire (and the Coffins/Stormcrow tour before that). We are however not yet returned to our deadquarters in Olympia. We thank you for your patience if you’ve been waiting on an order. They will be shipping as soon as we return in about a week. Although the sliding scale percentage discounts in the store ended with the month of May, the hugely popular package deals, as well as the reduced prices on older 20 Buck Spin catalog titles will continue to remain in effect for now. After over a month away and seeing many great and noble lands we are eager to return to the halls of our fathers and continue the work of the people. Much more news to come very soon. The second half of the year is looking to be much busier than the first half, release-wise.
