7/26/24 - New releases from SIKM, RED CROSS (pre WHITE CROSS) and DISARM + MURO new LP!

       

Howdy! Pardon the slightly earlier than usual email but I'm on the road most of today and wanted to get this shit rolling for y'all. CHECK IT - three new ones from B.I.R.! First and foremost, the modern offering is well done contemporary Oi music from ATL's finest SIKM followed by two archival releases from, you guessed it, the Commonwealth of Virginia circa 40ish years ago. I'm particularly proud of these two - both were rather elusive recordings that I'd known about for around 20ish years but didn't get a complete go at hearing until their respective reels were located and transferred recently. Both releases had their share of delays (and, sadly, the death of a member in one case) in the production process but I am so happy to finally have these available. It was an honor to work with the creative forces behind these groups to make these records a reality. R.I.P. to Mikey, Alford and Bryan. 

And another one that can go in the "FINALLY!" category - I am beyond excited to be aiding in the North American distribution of the MURO - NUEVO DOGMA LP!! The vinyl showed up on my porch from France nearly a year ago now and I just got the print from Colombia last month. Pressed in Europe, printed in South America and assembled in Richmond, VA - phew! I've been listening to this record for close to a year now so I'm VERY excited for the rest of you to hear it and, as always, am honored to aid my friends at Casa Rat Trap in the spread of their art. Be sure to catch them in Europe if ya haven't already and are in their imminent path!

Let's go ahead and get to it:

SIKM - NOW I MUST COMPLY 12"

Hot on the heels of 2023's ass kicker of a demo, Atlanta's SIKM are back with their first 12" offering in the form of the "NOW I MUST COMPLY" EP! Here we have 6 offerings of UK82 meets infectious French Oi filtered tastefully through a modern lens, yielding truly stand out tracks in a world that's quickly becoming full of monotony and color by the numbers bullshit. Recorded and produced in Paris, France at Château Vergogne by Maxime Smadja (of RIXE, CONDOR, BOSS and many more), mastered by Will Killingsworth and featuring outstanding cover art and layout from the mind of Jeff Poleon - this is the full package! 

There are 200 copies on COKE BOTTLE CLEAR vinyl for mailorder while they last!

DISARM - EXISTENCE DEMO 1985 12"

Continuing in their campaign to unveil the hidden history of the 1980s Virginian hardcore punk scene, Beach Impediment unearths the "Existence Demo 1985" by Virginia Beach skate thrashers DISARM. Taking inspiration from New Yorks’ AGNOSTIC FRONT, Boston's SS DECONTROL, Sweden's ANTI-CIMEX as well as the burgeoning thrash metal from Californias’ SLAYER and POSSESSED, DISARM were truly a product of their time and in their brief two-year lifespan, the teenaged quartet bombed up and down the east coast sharing stages with CORROSION OF CONFORMITY, YOUTH OF TODAY and GANG GREEN among others. Recorded in a suburban garage studio during a sweltering summer, "Existence Demo 1985" combines the brute sonic force of hardcore with a blinding thrash delivery to create one of the most unheralded demo tapes of the era. Remastered from the original reels by CHRIS CORRY and released in conjunction with NO IDOLS, the "Existence Demo 1985" gets its’ well-deserved vinyl debut, almost 40 years after its’ recording.

Each record features a layout adorned with imagery from the band's brief existence along with liner notes derived from an interview conducted by Tony Rettman with guitarist Raymond Epstein and vocalist Bryan Zentz. Limited to a one time pressing of 500 copies.

RED CROSS - 1981-1982 NO MESSAGE 12"

For starters, don't let the name fool you, this is Richmond, VA  - not L.A. Coinciding with the beginning of the 1980s, the spread of punk's mutation into the harsher exertion known as hardcore punk began to spill across the continental United States. The music was becoming harder and faster, straying from the style and formula that some of the younger participants were starting to grow bored of and Richmond was no exception to this phenomena. Following the 1981 implosions of local punk groups MOD SUBS (see Beach Impediment Records #6) and DISRUPTORS, the illustrious Mike Rodriguez formed RED CROSS alongside friends Frank Gresham, Scott Price and Alford Faulknier. Their mission: to create and play hardcore punk adhering to the motto of "LOUD FAST RULES" and they did just that! The next year or so saw the band leaving a trail of broken glass and harshed mellows throughout the greater metropolitan Richmond area, to put it lightly. In early 1982, the boys entered Studio 2 at Union Theological Seminary under the cover of night to record 12 tracks that were intended to be the band's debut 12". Alas, as bands tend to do, they eventually broke up due to internal conflicts, which led to the almost immediate formation of Richmond legends WHITE CROSS; arguably the final form of Mikey Rod's drive to create fast, hard and ugly music. The WHITE CROSS fellas would carry the torch of Richmond Hardcore Punk all over this country for the next few years - but that is another story for another time, bud! As you might have guessed, the aforementioned break up left the aforementioned recording in a limbo of sorts, seemingly doomed to never reach the ears of the public.

Having a sense of pride for the hard work and creative process that led to the recording session in question, vocalist Frank Gresham did not want to have this session completely lost to the sands of time, leading to the creation of somewhere between 50-100 cassette tapes featuring the studio recording, a live reimagined rendition of a John Cale classic and a radio advertisement that the band ran as promotion to close it all out. With this last will and testament of early USHC in the Richmond area being spread among a small number of friends and fans, Franky left it at that, eventually moving on up to NYC. In the decades that followed, local hardcore punk enthusiasts had heard tales of this band and the elusive tape documenting their existence with fewer having ever even seen one in the wild. At long last, after 40+ years in obscurity, Beach Impediment is proud to present this long lost posthumous release of sorts, remastered from the original reel and accompanied by a 16 page booklet featuring extensive liner notes by surviving members Frank Gresham and Scott Price along with archival imagery related to the band and their brief but impactful existence in a sleepy southern town. 

There are 100 copies on RED VINYL for mailorder while they last! These copies also include a risograph recreation of the poster that accompanied the original cassette tape.

Annnnd:

5/21/24 - New releases from INVERTEBRATES, PEACE DECAY and VIDRO OUT NOW!!

 

  

HOWDY! SUP? Got three new ones ready to roll plus some represses, a recent warehouse find, distro additions of note and some tours you should be aware of! Let's get to it:

INVERTEBRATES - SICK TO SURVIVE 12"

A couple years back here in Richmond, VA, a group known as INVERTEBRATES emerged from the river sludge, dropping an absolutely scorching demo AND promo tape in conjunction with the pulverizing of many a gig audience fortunate enough to witness them. While the INVERTS have stayed the course on the latter, continuing to belt out the hits in the live setting the hardcore punk faithful have been hungry for more, and folks, am I excited to let ya know the wait is over! Featuring a handful of tunes from those aforementioned tapes that many have surely worn out by now, "SICK TO SURVIVE" is ten tracks of perfectly executed "45 RPM on a 12" style hardcore punk" - meaning that while it doesn't overstay it's welcome you will be left with a few sonic rage induced lumps as a reminder of the time spent together. Truly a slab for those who love the genre yet refuse to allot time for any of the extra bullshit that comes in tow with it at this particular point of the dystopian nightmare we find ourselves in. Each record comes in a jacket with a huge fold out newsprint poster and insert, all of which were designed by singer Max Mattoon.

There are 100 copies on WHITE VINYL for mailorder while they last.

There's also a RED VINYL / SCREEN PRINTED spineless (like an Invertebrate - get it?) jacket edition that the band will have at their record release gig here in Richmond on Saturday (ask a mod, maybe a teddy boy too) and for those who can't make it, our friends at Bunker Punks will also have a few of these available later today as well. Please be patient as they will have them when they have them BUUUT also if ya check out the BIR Big Cartel there miiiight be a few in there IDK!

PEACE DECAY - S/T LP

If you follow this label, you'll know that the love for Texas is evident. Serving as a follow up to the 2022 "DEATH IS ONLY..." 12" EP, the self-titled LP by these veterans of pummeling sonic racket features ten tracks of the hardcore punk madness that their first effort exhibited they were the stalwarts of. With this new release, PEACE DECAY have elevated their songwriting prowess and fierce delivery further than before. Mastered by Jack Control at Enormous Door, each record comes in a jacket with a full color insert, both of which are garnished with an absolutely stunning painting by vocalist Enok Cado.

There are 100 copies on LIGHT GREEN VINYL for mailorder while they last.

VIDRO - UPP TIL DANS EP

International hardcore punks VIDRO have blessed us with yet another slab. Upon returning home to Stockholm from a string of US dates, VIDRO returned to the studio so belt out yet another session of their raging yet eclectic take on the ever-mutating art form that is hardcore punk. Released earlier this year by the band across the pond, Beach Impediment is proud to yet again spread the works of this powerhouse of a group in the North American region. Each record comes in a stunning risograph sleeve designed by the band's own guitarist and designer Lucas Lima. 

There are 100 copies on TRANSLUCENT YELLOW VINYL for mailorder while they last.

Available in Europe from Push My Buttons Records and Caco de Vidro.

As always, you can buy here and buy / stream / download here.

In addition to this, the following titles are now once again available thanks to much needed represses:

CANAL IRREAL - SOMEONE ELSE'S DANCE LP
SEXPILL - IN DUST WE TRUST 12"
PEACE DECAY - DEATH IS ONLY... 12"

Not only that, when doing some office cleaning I came across a couple dozen copies of the CONDOR - SINGLES 2017-2018 12" that I'd never assembled. Those are in the webstores while they last!

Not a ton to report distro wise but holy shit, get those DEEF reissues General Speech did if you haven't already! Also stocked back up on the LONG KNIFE back catalog represses that Keet did last year.

Oh and uh LOTS OF BANDS ARE ON TOUR! WAY MORE THAN USUAL! SOME ARE ALREADY UNDER WAY WHILE OTHERS HAVE YET TO EVEN START! See the attached posters for more info on said tours (no, I do not know venue info, etc.)

    
                      

I might have just fucked the formatting of this dispatch by (shittily) posting these posters but ehhh. 

That does it for now! See ya in July when MORE slabs are slated to drop, okay?

STAY COOL.
-B.I.R.

2/23/24 - New releases from PUBLIC ACID, CANAL IRREAL and SEXPILL OUT NOW!!

    

WAAAZZZAAAAAAAAp? They're here, they're finally here! Shit, man.

PUBLIC ACID - DEADLY STRUGGLE 12"

Amidst a seemingly endless onslaught of bands, labels, and other opportunistic clowns vying for commercial gain via subcultural cannibalism, it can be easy to lose sight of what drew us to punk in the first place. But despite the deluge of bullshit, we know that occasional nuggets of ugly and raw authenticity will claw their way to the surface for the hardcore punk faithful. And folks, we have just such a nugget in Deadly Struggle: 8 tracks of pummeling aural turbulence on a 12" slab for those who desire reality over cosplay. Building off the shockwaves of 2020’s Condemnation, Public Acid’s sound—a skewed, arty amalgamation of bludgeoning hardcore, frantic, riff- soaked d-beat, harsh noise, and underground metal—has only grown more focused and furious. There’s the virtuosic rhythm section, possessing an inhuman combination of lightness of touch and neanderthal power; the blinding, riffs-inside-of-riffs guitar style; the density of sound, massively heavy and pock-marked with kaleidoscopic fuzz; the maniacal vocals, inventive in both their technique and their rhythmic cadences; and, of course, the deadly mid-paced parts. Deadly Struggle reminds us that while hardcore punk will never die, those who cheapen it absolutely will.

Recorded by Sasha Stroud at Artifact Audio in NYC and mastered by Arthur Rizk for maximum impact, each record comes in a screen printed jacket with cover art by Thomas Sara immersed in a hypnotic layout by Matt Martin, plus a large fold out poster designed by Tower Kevin.

There are 250 copies on BLOOD RED vinyl for mailorder while they last.
EU / UK FOLKS! Static Shock (UK) and Sounds of Subterrania (Germany) will have an exclusive GREEN VINYL version of this record limited to 250 copies. As of writing this email they are still in transit, so please be patient and snag it from these fine folks when the time comes so you can save on shipping.

CANAL IRREAL - SOMEONE ELSE'S DANCE LP

"What you hold in your hands is not exactly for you. It is not a delight for your senses, nor sonic inspiration for transgressing your restraints. It is not your empowerment tool. It is manifestly theirs— a portal to their arena of power, powerlessness, joy, hate, anger, fear, and failure. None of it is yours. Still, can you plug in, tune in, lock in to their dial? Are you capable of not giving in to escape and instead absorbing it? Are you capable of asking for more? You want the channel? Here it goes: the channel is walk into the dark and dance. Bop and beg. Lean and laugh. Stare and stomp. Afterwards, go ahead and yell “I failed!” Ride along to the signal-notes that ring like sirens across the city warning you that an odorless noxious gas has just been released into the air. But don’t run. Instead, lean into the pulse. The channel is bop your head, bounce your ass, sing, wade, stomp, and scream.

Canal Irreal has rescinded and revoked your access to the splendid metropolis. The channel is fuck you. The channel is don’t ask them about Chicago, you don’t know it. The channel is don’t ask them about the fish; the Lake has consumed them all. Walk toward the darkness. Listen to the whispers and less to the wind. Lift your arms up to the melodic swings. Bounce your feet to the snap of the snare and flow of the bass. But don’t lose yourself—lock in. Are you capable of asking for more? Find the canal, or be clicked out by the clicker. Hold on to the wavelength or go back to normie-land. Canal Irreal is not hard or dark, it’s a portal to the personal, to desperation and exasperation. Go ahead and scream: “Doy todo y mucho mas.” This channel is not for your liberation. But do please tune in. What channel are you on now? Canal de mierda. Canal de chingado. Canal de sobrevivir. Canal Irreal. Bienvenidos." -Mike Amezcua

Each copy of "Someone Else's Dance" is housed in a stunning jacket along with an 8 page zine, both of which were designed by singer Martin Sorrondeguy.

There are 150 copies on TRANSLUCENT RED vinyl for mailorder while they last.

SEXPILL - IN DUST WE TRUST 12" 

There's something to be said about the great state/nation/planet of Texas and it's ability to seemingly ooze vicious hardcore punk from the cracks of the land mass it claims. After a series of demos and storied live performances home and elsewhere over the course of nearly a decade, SEXPILL gives us "IN DUST WE TRUST" - the band's first venture onto the 12" format. Each slab harnesses twelve tracks of belligerent and noisy hardcore punk, capturing Houston's finest at their most maniacal to date, featuring brand new tracks flanked by some reimagined fan favorites from the earlier mentioned demo days. IN DUST WE TRUST. IN DUST WE MUST.

There are 150 copies on OPAQUE RED vinyl for mailorder while they last.

As always, you can buy here and buy / listen / download here.

It's also worth noting I came across a few hidden copies of the CONDOR 12" - will I get them up in the webstore by the time this email goes out? TIME WILL TELL!!!

Gonna keep it brief - hey FANX! Expect slabs come spring from the likes of INVERTEBRATES, PEACE DECAY, VIDRO, DISARM (VB) and more to come. 

-B.I.R.

1/15/24 - HACKER - PSY WiFi EP OUT NOW!

GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! Excited to kick off another busy year with this Australian hardcore punk butt kicker of a slab. Read on for more info...

"Melbourne, Australia’s most feared hardcore cyber-vandal cell returns to wreak havoc on your network and your dance floors with the four-track “Psy Wi-Fi” EP. Following up the tightly-wound attack as heard on 2021’s “Pick A Path” 12”, Hacker have defragged the hardware and blown the dust out, striking again with more slightly more expansive songwriting. “Psy Wi-Fi” marks the welcome addition of a pinch more metal in the guitars and a fistful more pummel in the breakdowns to their established blueprint of direct, charging hardcore riffs, a rhythm section that is as agile as it is powerful, and one of the most expressive, capable and rabid vocalists in punk today. Update your firewall all you want, Hacker is coming. Expect them. (Neil Bramley)"

There are 100 copies on GREY VINYL for mailorder while they last and only about half of those are in the continental USA so get on that if ya like records that look like the NES.

As always, you can give err a spin / buy here and buy here.

AUSTRALIANS (or other folks that live in places where it's cheaper to get shit from Australia) - please order this title from Kyle at HELTA SKELTA RECORDS. 

It's also worth mentioning that I have a few copies of the debut 12" compliments of Yeap at Hardcore Victim Records! THANK YOU KING! Up in the Big Cartel for y'all that missed out when it dropped a few years back.

And in other distro news, got some copies of the latest QUARANTINE LP! WOW!

Ehhh besides that, just chilling, man. Hope the new year is treating y'all right! Next month we got three (3) LP's dropping so keep your eyes peeled for more on that. Be well!

-B.I.R.

10/3/23 - PRE-ORDERS for the GOLPE - ASSUEFAZIONE QUOTIDIANA EP and MONEY - S/T 12" UP NOW!

           

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.

9/12/23 - 偏執症者 (Paranoid) - S.C.U.M. 12" EP OUT NOW!

Hey gang, me again! The slabs keep coming and I keep letting em loose, feel me? This time around the long-awaited US press of a Swedish mangel crusher. Read on if you dare!!!!

Here we have it, another chapter in the story of one of Sweden's greatest practitioners of modern raw hardcore punk -  偏執症者 (Paranoid)! The latest of the Northern Wind of Brutal Hell Mangel, this session was released earlier this year on the 7" format by Sweden's Not Enough Records but we are excited to give you all the 12" version of the absolutely obliterating S.C.U.M. EP! Recorded at the now legendary Studio Mangel in Frösön, Sweden with the mix and mastering being handled at LM Studio in Osaka, Japan by Ippei Suda and featuring additional vocals by Jacky and noise design by Statuszero recorded in Japan, this one sided slab packs 6 ear ringing blasts on the A-Side and features an absolutely stunning etched B-Side by Oik Wasfuk. Each record comes in a full color jacket adorned with a ghastly collage along with an obi strip, an insert and a stark poster measuring 18" x 24".

And for you, the mailorder fanatics, there is an exclusive deluxe version of this record. It comes on pink and black splattered vinyl, wrapped in a three color screen printed sleeve - a striking addition to an already all around stunning record. Limited to 100 copies for those that are into such things.

Also, if you happen to consider such a version too fancy, fret not - our friends at Sorry State will have an exclusive pink vinyl version that is also limited to 100 copies. Please note that it more than likely won't be up bright and early when I send this email, they might not be up til they open their store later in the day. Please don't punish those nice folks and just check back later.

Europe - as mentioned in the description, the great Not Enough Records in Sweden released these songs on 7" back in July. In the event shipping is a bit too daunting, my feelings won't be hurt if you just wanna cop that. Also, the band will have copies very soon, so stay tuned if that's a cheaper option.

All that said, you can order here and order / stream / download here.

On the distro front, I recently got copies of the two KINETIC ORBITAL STRIKE 7"s that seem to have sold out quickly from other outlets. Don't snooze, get em! Also got a couple more DELETAR 12"s floating around as well.

That'll do for now. You'll be hearing from me again in the coming weeks with some Italian hardcore punk and real deal Texas shit in tow. Til then, be well!

-B.I.R.

8/11/23 - Мир - MINDECISION 12" + GRAVEN IMAGE 12" repress out now!

WHAT IS UP? Very excited to let y'all know that I got a new one and a repress ready to roll - both of which are decades old hardcore punk from the Old Dominion state. Isn't that something else? Welp, let's go for it:

Мир - MINDECISION 12"

By now, it's not surprising that the dissemination of the hardcore punk movement in it's infancy seeped into the pores of nearly the entire planet. Of course, all the major cities worldwide developed burgeoning hardcore scenes that yielded the classics we know and love but there's something to be said about the less known spots on the map and their select inhabitants that were swept up in the fervor of it all, like some of those in the sleepy valley town of Roanoke tucked away in the tranquil Blue Ridge mountain region of Southwest Virginia. It was in that city, circa 1984, that four teenagers came together to form Мир or, for the non-Cyrillicaly inclined, simply MNP. The band name, pronounced "Mihr" per the  and which translates from Russian to peace, was also the group's mission statement and driving force in their brief existence. Having played a slew of gigs locally and elsewhere alongside contemporaries like CORROSION OF CONFORMITY, SCREAM, BATTALION OF SAINTS and DEATH PIGGY among others, they left as quickly as they came, disbanding in the summer of 1985 before most of the members left for college. Thankfully, the band entered the studio earlier that year before calling it a day. The tracks that made up the criminally underrated and sparsely circulated "MINDECISION" cassette are a crucial entry into the annals of early Virginia hardcore punk history, featuring twelve cuts of scorching USHC executed by small town high school kids. Remastered from the original reels by Chris Corry, each record comes in a jacket adorned with the original cover art by drummer Lawson Jaeger, featuring a 12" x 24" insert chock full of live photos, flyers and other ephemera plus liner notes by guitarist Spencer Edmunds. 

There are 100 copies on WHITE VINYL for mailorder only while they last!

Also, the GRAVEN IMAGE - STUDIO SESSIONS: '82-'83 12" has been freshly repressed on coke bottle clear vinyl and is limited to 175 copies. If ya missed out the first time around, get one of these while ya can!

As always, you can snag here and stream / download / snag here.

In distro news, the crown jewel of this update has to be the AMAZING new LP by France's DELETAR on the great Kick Rock Records. It's selling out from stateside distros left and right, get ya one if ya haven't already.

In addition to that, there's a very diverse smattering of fan club slabs in the store, only one of which is remotely punk related. Take a look... OHHHH YEAYYYUH!

Anyhow, keeping this one short and sweet. MUCH MORE TO COME BEFORE THE YEAR IS OUT like new slabs from PARANOID, PUBLIC ACID, HACKER and some others I can't announce yet. Expect pre-order info for a couple very soon... 

STAY COOOL,
-B.I.R.
