Hey gang,
Here we have it, the last offerings from the Beach Impediment Label for the year 2020. What a journey it's been and who knows just what the hell is in store for the last month and some change of it. Now normally I'd feel kinda weird dropping releases a couple days before that stupid ass holiday at the end of November, but with everything the way it's been let's just shun tradtion go for it! Not to mention that if you're traveling willy-nilly for the aforementioned stupid ass holiday to share enclosed close quarters with others during a pandemic you're just kind of a piece of shit anyways and I hope you miss the email. All that science and reality talk aside, year nine of the label has been rather fulfilling and these last two slabs also bring us to a grand total of 50 entries thus far. Here's hoping for 69 (that's 19 more) before it's all said and done - anyways much to come in 2021 AKA year 10 of this circus. Keep your eyes, ears, etc peeled starting in January but as for the here and now... "let's rock."
PUBLIC ACID - CONDEMNATION EP
"Woo-wee! Public Acid, folks - the undisputed pride of North Carolina! Or is it Virginia now? A bit of both perhaps?! Ah hell, is acknowledging geographic location really even relevant when it comes to top shelf hardcore punk? The dead fucks that made those borders and boundaries wouldn't know shit about riffs anyway. In the couple years since their self released 12" came into being, the band has gigged all over the country (back when that was an option) and expanded their catalog further via a flexi and some cassettes, garnering much deserved attention and adoration from those fortunate enough to be enlightened with those scenarios and/or physical formats. But that was the old world and what matters here and now is that the "CONDEMNATION" EP is 6 urgent blasts of punk music that result in a sonic whirlwind that few others have previously concocted. In a genre that has become dominated by embarrassing posturing, this slab is a much welcomed breath of fresh air in an age of suffocating and uncertainty. Recorded and mastered at Artifact Audio in NYC by Sasha Stroud just before the shit hit the fan, each record comes in a folded sleeve both designed and screen printed by Public Acid collaborator and comrade Thomas Sara."
There are 100 copies on TRANSLUCENT PINK vinyl for mailorder while they last.
MOMENT OF FEAR - COVID SESSIONS 2020 EP
"From the ashes of a pandemic stricken Long Beach, CA comes MOMENT OF FEAR! Long time PDX based screamer extraordinaire INSANE AKA Tony Bartek (of RELIGIOUS WAR, THE CORPSE, ROTTEN CADAVER and loads of others) has returned to his ancestral homeland to churn out more of that ace hardcore punk he's become known for over the past few decades. Mastered by Jack Control and featuring cover art by Todd Janeczek, the 3 tracks on the "COVID SESSIONS 2020 EP" are a barrage of hardcore racket that will please the ears of absolute maniacs and purists alike."
There are 100 copies on TRANSLUCENT RED vinyl for mailorder while they last.
As always, you can purchase these titles directly here or here, with that second option also offering the ability to stream and download these titles plus many more!
In repress news, both the DAME - S/T 12" and MURO - PACIFICAR 12" are back in print! DAME is a 2nd press of 200 copies, all of which are on what has been described as a "sexy red" vinyl. The 2nd press copies of MURO are limited to 300 and come in a sharp black dust sleeve this go around. We meant to have these ready last time around buuuuut Covid delayed shit.
As for the webstore, we got some hot updates which are probably the last of the distro items due to my desire to move away from dealing with a distro. With that said, the MARKED DOWN 7"s and MARKED DOWN 12"s are CHOCK FULL of all kindsa stuff so give em a glance! Anyways, here are some distro additions of note:
ROCKY & THE SWEDEN - CITY BABY ATTACKED BY BUDS LP
HAIRCUT - CAKE EP

THE CHISEL - DECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY EP
FETISH - WORLD EATER LP

Right then, that about does it!
