A year after recording what would be the self titled EP, the lads of MERCY KILLINGS returned to the great state of North Carolina to lay down yet another sonic assault of hardcore punk. The resulting material proved to be even more vicious than the band's initial effort, yielding five songs of the savage USHC that certain members have been known for producing for over a decade now with select nods here and there to other spots on the globe that have been known to influence good punk as opposed to shit punk. These guys are, thankfully, too purist and/or out of touch to even consider flirting with any of the cringe inducing trends and fashions that have plagued the genre as a whole in recent memory. Therefore, fans of well executed hardcore punk can rest assured that they will receive just that upon obtaining this slab. Each record comes in a glue pocket sleeve adorned with stunning water color and ink based art by the illustrious Jaybo.

And while we're on the topic of MK, for those not in the know 'ol Baybay took a fall down by the river this past June and ruptured a disc in his spine. He just had his second back surgery since then and is down on his luck at the moment. Some friends have set up a fundraiser for him to help with the cost of living while he is recuperating. I know everyone's money is tight this time of year, but in the event you might be able to help out please go here and check it out.

In the coming weeks I'll be sure to make a separate post giving some insight as to what 2015 holds for the label. It's looking to be a busy year involving releases by a plethora of bands that rule; some of which I've worked with before and some that I have not. Stay tuned.
Good riddance to 2014,
