Howdy! I know, I know, I don't do pre-orders often but with the GOLPE US TOUR quickly approaching we wanted to get this rolling not only to further spread the word on those dates but also bestow some goddamn tunes on you all. And with the MONEY 12" being ready around the same time I decided to include it in this batch. Please note, these should be shipping around the end of the month, thanks in advance for your patience and understanding! And in case any of my wholsale folks are reading this, I will be emailing you all with your info once the records land. Now that we have that outta the way, let's get down to the nitty gritty...
GOLPE - ASSUEFAZIONE QUOTIDIANI EP
It's with a great sense of pride that we announce the arrival of new material from Italy's GOLPE. Serving as the highly anticipated follow up to 2021's La Colpa È Solo Tua on the Sorry State label, Tadzio Pederzolli (the mastermind behind this one man band) has once again gifted us with an ace hardcore punk recording, upping the fervor and delivery in a way that most couldn't imagine after the already furious debut LP which he also recorded on his own during the pandemic. The Assuefazione Quotidiana 7" EP features five absolute pounders of tracks, giving us more of the D-Beat based hardcore punk listeners came to love from the initial release with nods to Italian classics as the foundation of it all, topped off with politically and socially charged lyrics challenging modern norms and injustices. Truly a breath of fresh air sonically and philosophically. Each record comes with a stunning fold out poster, two inserts with the lyrics in Italian and one with an English translation, all topped off with a striking and straight-forward layout featuring the art and design from Tadzio's mind, executed with the help of co-conspirators.
There are 100 copies on RED VINYL for preorder while they last!
EUROPE - please obtain this ass kicker of a 7" from the mad lad Ellis over at Static Shock Records.
MONEY - S/T 12"
MONEY? MONEY. MONEY are the Texas blackened metal punks who dropped that FINAL BAG Demo and 3 A.M. ETERNAL EP on us in recent years. It can be hard to keep up with the deluge of mostly bullshit that comes up on a daily basis but MONEY stands alone. Their "members of" list is impressive but it’s unnecessary in light of the blistering 1-2 of licks and rapid fire drums. And while the aforementioned releases came into being via cassettes on the great Roach Leg Records and from the band themselves respectively, B.I.R. is proud to have these 7 corrosive tracks on vinyl for the first time.
Amphetamine fueled riffs for moral decline. MONEY. FFO: Darkthrone, Anti-Cimex, Sepultura, G-Zet. Remastered by Arthur Rizk, this collection of the initial efforts by MONEY is both for the well acquainted and those who might have missed the tapes when they dropped. Limited to 666 copies, half on COKE bottle clear and the other half on powder white vinyl. Each record comes in a jacket featuring art by Curse of Face and logo by Joe Chatt. Yee.
Scum stats listed above in the description.
And remember my mention of GOLPE's tour above? Here's the flyer! They'll be all around the east coast and midwest with the great ELECTRIC CHAIR. Not to be missed! The band will have plenty copies of the 7" to go around direct from them so if easier, please cop from the lovely Italians at one of their gigs!
I think that does it for now! As always, tons in the works but you'll see it when ya see it. Be well!
-B.I.R.
