Preview track from upcoming DYING cassette

STIRRINGS

It's been a while since I've posted, so here's an update:

I am preparing for a couple releases that will hopefully be available shortly after the new year.  First will be a two-song preview cassette from DYING, containing two tracks from their upcoming split LP with New Jersey's LESS LIFE (members of In First Person, Black Kites, Capacities, etc.).  These Cassettes will be limited to 100 copies.  I will be driving the van for Catharsis at their upcoming series of shows in January, and I will have them with me.  If there are any left over after tour, they will be made available for general mail-order.  Split release with Hydrogen Man Records.

I will have more info for the DYING / LESS LIFE split LP soon, stay tuned.

DYING - A History of Nothing CS back in stock.

As of this moment, ten copies of the debut release from Philadelphia, PA's DYING have been added to the Endless Disaster  webstore.  This second run of their four-song demo cassette is a numbered edition of 40 copies, pro printed with hand-cut booklets.  If you are interested in owning a copy, order soon.  We expect to sell through our available copies fairly quickly.

WASTELAND

At Ampere's 10 year anniversary show on May 13, no one was surprised when Ampere blew the fucking roof off with their set.  For ten years, we have come to expect nothing less from them, and they've consistently delivered.  People were surprised, however, when Wasteland took the stage, and tore all of our faces a new asshole, playing what may have been the most crushing and furious hardcore set I've seen in years.  They were completely devastating.  Since they hadn't been a band in four years or so, this was all the more impressive.  I wish i could see them do it again.

Wasteland's hitherto unreleased LP has been circulated in MP3 form for several years, and has always been one of my most cited hardcore tragedies; a fantastic record consigned to obscurity because of the band's untimely breakup.  I cannot express my surprise when I arrived at the show to see a stack of Wasteland LP's on their merch table.  Will Killingsworth was good enough to release the LP on his label, Clean Plate in time for Wasteland's one-off reunion show, and I couldn't be happier to see it.

For those of you unfamiliar, Wasteland was a Western Mass. band that was most active five or six years ago.  They developed a distinct and compelling style that, to my ear, seems to mix a fair amount of screamo, d-beats and more than a little heavy Canadian hc style into one imposing monster of a band.  They released one four-song EP and had two tracks on the coveted Ampere / Death to Tyrants / Daniel Striped Tiger / Wasteland split 11''.  Members have since been involved in bands such as Aerosols, Soul Control, Relics, Suburbanite, Won't Belong, etc, etc, etc.

If you are interested in owning a copy of your very own, hit up the Endless Disaster  webstore .

South Philly Matinee, This Sunday!

DYING - History of Nothing CS, Second Run

The order for the second round of Dying's History of Nothing CS has been placed.  Expect to see them in the webstore as soon as they arrive.

DYING cassette sold out, mail orders filled.

As of now, Endless Disaster and Hydrogen Man are both sold out of the DYING cassette.  Thanks to everyone who bought one at our shows, and those who ordered a copy.  We will have a second run soon, keep checking back for more info.  Mail orders are officially up-to-date.

The store will be updated later this evening, lots of great records coming!

Hydrogen Man Records

The good-looking man in the center of this photo is Andrew Mcquiston.  He is pictured here playing bass in a Philadelphia band called HIGHTIDE HOTEL, and he is also my bandmate in DYING.

In addition to both of these things, Andrew is also the man behind  Hydrogen Man Records , a small label and distro here in Philly.  He has been lucky enough to put out vinyl releases from some of our favorite bands here on the east coast, including SWALLOWED UP and BLACK KITES, as well as being my partner in releasing all of DYING's material.  I have seldom met someone with such good taste in releases, as well as a keen eye for powerful aesthetic on top of being a kind and sweet person.  He has really nice hair, too.

If you have the time, check out some of his releases.  He only does good ones.

DYING weekend over, cassettes selling fast.

The shows this weekend were amazing, we couldn't have asked for a better way to start.  Thanks are due to everyone who helped us out in Braddock, DC, and Bethlehem, as well as Will McAndrew and everyone at Cloud City here in Philadelphia.  We love you all.

If you want a copy of the History of Nothing cassette by DYING, order from the  store  or at  Hydrogen Man  .  Do it soon, before we run out!  Only a handful left.

Feel free to download the tape at no cost from dyingxvx.com.

In other news, the new, as yet untitled demo CS from new Philly vegan straight-edge outfit,  DYING  should be out in a little under two weeks (split release with fellow Philly record label Hydrogen Man).  If you're in the Philadelphia area, come pick up a copy at their first show, March 29 at Cloud City in West Philly.

Recording a new release...

My new band recorded at Permanent Hearing Damage yesterday with Steve Roche for a demo CS that will be a split release with Hydrogen Man Records.  Expect a track or two in the next few weeks.
