Akroid Video & Tour
Akroid have teamed up with visionary director/ animator/ illustrator Davide Di Saro to produce some serious scifi visuals. You can peep the teaser vid on Youtube. July is the month of thrashing! July dates for Akroid with Ken Mode and Vilipend have been confirmed. Watch the bands Myspace for those.
Gunnar Rapido/ Akroid
Gritty dangles is out and streaming @ www.myspace.com/akroid for your listening pleasure. Pretty stoked on how this release turned out and the release shows went off the hook. Much thanks to Gunnar Rapido for being so rad and awesome. Order it, rip it and then RIP it. Visit Gunnar Rapido to peep their hi-fidelity.
Whiskey Priest/ The Smile
Soon is the word of choice at the moment. The Smile / Whiskey Priest
3X3 split is nearly done. Whiskey Priest is all done in the studio and just waiting for The Smile. Smile vocals and final art work are all that stand in the way of an official release date. It is hoped that this release will coincide with shows in the area of May 20th to 24th. In the meantime the whole first album is up on The Smile Myspace so you can rip it up in your bedroom thrashing and singing along.You Can download the whole thing at DOWNLOAD PUNK for $5.99 or order a copy from Here if you prefer the real thing. There are 20 or so copies of the original 5X7 release still available so if you want the hot goods please specify in an email.
DOWNLOAD PUNK
Many of you are all about I-Tunes. We have chose to use DOWNLOAD PUNK for a number of reasons. First off they are not a huge mega-corporation. Apple really doesn't need the cash. And second they are in the punk business game and can be reached in one email much like ourselves. There are about 20 other reasons but you get the idea. DOWNLOAD PUNK is the only pay download site we use so don't trust anyone else. Thanks for the support!
Free Downloads
Even though Soft Floors and Straight Goods are broken up and out of print doesn't mean you can't still jam to them on your player. Both bands are offering their releases for full free download. Scroll down the releases and click the link. Be sure to check out Animal Faces (Ryan of Soft Floors) while the members of Straight Goods occupy spots in Gunnar Rapido, The Chronic, The Smile and Dinosaur Bones.

Gritty Dangles 6 song split cdr

3 dangling, dual bass jams from Gunnar Rapido plus 3 dissonant, dirt-bogs a la Akroid. Hot jams and rad bros united. Gunnar covers "Broken" and Akroid covers "Gunnar 6000". The covers are more like interpretations, the way covers should be.

Akroid |
Distress 5 song cdr
|
Not an official grgs release but hey like we can't throw Akroid a bone. Manually fabricated denim sleeves and xeroxed two sided insert. The jams themselves are thick, swirling grooves of doom-laden punk.

Native |
we delete; erase 6 song cdr
|
|
Unorthodox yet grossly engaging melodic groupings of sharp against round. Vocals that you can't help but invest in. Native is mesmerizing and “We Delete; Erase” a release worthy of auto-repeat in your playlist. Only a few copies remain. Visit the
Native Myspace for more info and to say hi.

Strawman Fallacy |
Final 8 song cdr
|
Strawman Fallacy owns the scremo-violence crown. Always on the edge of complete implosion, SMF delivers panicked sheets of violence with infinite bucket-loads of heart and passion. Add in some audio art and experimentation and you got what this disc is all about.

August |
What's Inside 8 song cdr
|
August is 1996 in the now. Mid 90's style hardcore that is a wall of sound with dynamics and subtleties that are tight and evolved to modern standards. Personal, philosophical, and introspective lyrics, pummeling, melodic guitars and awesome angular drums.

Discography 8 song cdr
|
Katja "Discography" 9 song CDr
For most of you there isn't much needed to say about Katja. Katja was one of those bands that took an evolving sound and defined it. Katja is the summary of post hardcore and this disc is all that remains of their short but amazing life.

Soft Floors |
Self Titled 8 song cdr
|
If mathrock dove deeper into the punk side of post-punk and didn’t forget the importance of youthful enthusiasm and creativity, Soft Floors would certainly result. These are some remarkably smooth jams despite the tempos and signatures being so cut up and jagged. Soft Floors stands over in the corner in the mathrock arena, having created their own sound and doing it better than most.

Straight Goods |
Destruction Is A Form Of Creation 8 song cdr
|
|
The over-saturation of break-downs have soured many over the last couple years. It’s too bad they didn’t catch the way Straight Goods did “tings” for the short but wonderful period they existed. Staight Goods was so punk but sooo heavy. Live shows were off the hook and luckily some of that mix of energized, punk enthusiasm and southern-esque, never-quite-metal, break-downs translated onto “Destruction Is A Form Of Creation”.

The Smile |
Self Titled 8 song cdr
|
Ah, bitter/ sweet! This record is like a dream of when you are awake. Everything seems normal but just ain't right and everything changes in a split second. The Smile is both the angel and devil whispering loudly into your ears, making you happily crazy.

Akroid |
Run For Your Life 8 song cdr
|
Scifi, post-hardcore punk, wrestling in a bed of discord. Akroid's jagged, noisy approach is somehow wicked catchy. Almost anthem like however the 1.5/ 2 minute song lengths go by a bit too fast to qualify as an official anthem.
