STATE POISON - MRR REVIEW OF THE DEMO CD-R


MRR (Cissie Scurlock): "Make no mistake, these Frenchies-plus-one-Floridian sleep cuddled next to their Disorder records, passed out with a gluebag in hand. ... I would align this with SWANKYS or early CONFUSE, before lumping it in with the crasher crust scene. Overall, STATE POISON has enough ineptness, ridiculousness, catchiness, and creativity to pull this style off."

EDIT: fuck, I stand corrected it's a review of their demo!

but this is about the 7":

Brian "Rawter" R. - TROUBLE ON YOUR SYSTEM: Here we have the Self-titled 7" by the band State Poison. Gallo recommended this band to me, and I don't know much about these guys except that they are from France and this EP is killer. The first thing that popped into my head upon first listening to this record was that if bands like Gauze, GISM or Gai were French...this could possibly be the outcome. Check it out.

IDONEUM BELLO RECORDS 007 - SHORTLIVED - DEMO 7" IS READY!

the SHORTLIVED DEMO 7" is finally back from the plant. I was supposed to bring some copies to Bremen but as I was throwing up the whole night I had to cancel the trip. another thing is that it was supposed to be a one time white label pressing with a print-run of 200 but the pressing plant sent me 300 for whatever reason? now expect some to have unique covers, etc. as I don't have enough inserts for 100 extra copies!

CONSIGNMENT & TRADES

Q: will I give you records on consignment?
A: no! fuck, NO! period!

the bottom line is if you want any records from me you pay upfront! yes, that includes you too so there's no need to ask if you couldn't be the exception to the rule!

Q: will I trade my releases against yours?
A: your chances are rather thin!

I don't run a mailorder or have a recordstore or whatever. therefore I just wouldn't know what to do with the records I'd get for mine. I did some trades (e.g. with Ivan/FUCK YOGA) but that's the exception to the rule and I really feel flattered when people ask me but till the day I can pay the pressing plants with those records be prepared to get NO for an answer.

FROM DOWN UNDER WITH SPEED


SHORTLIVED are somehow persecuted from bad luck as it seems. they got 2 different 7"es in the 2 different pressing plants and neither of them made it to me for the start of their tour. the 1st master CD for their MINDROT 7" vanished into thin air in te mail and when the 2nd master CD finally arrived we had to find out that they fucked something up while mastering their recordings and cause of that it isn't ready yet. the 2nd 7", with the 8 tacks from their demo CD-R (which I have already ordered about 9 or 10 weeks ago and which is a white label pressing ltd. to 200) has had problems in the cuting and plating process but should be here on Tuesday.
Praise! Hail! Satan!

edit: that means you probably can buy the SHORTLIVED - MINDROT 7" for the 1st time in Vienna on the 14th and on all shows after that one.

SHORTLIVED's demo 7" will hopefully make it back from the plant on the 18th so the 1st show where it will be sold should be on the 19th in Bremen where I'd deliver it myself as no one else would.

07/06 : Grenoble, France
11/06 : Beltinci, Slovenia
12/06 : Rijeka, Croatia
13/06 : Hungary
14/06 : Vienna, Austria
15/06 : Prague, Czech

IN CASE YOU FIND WHITE HAIRS...


on your GAWJ or KALI I 7"es a look at the pics will tell you who's to blame. Chabo loves boxes and therefore Chabo sqatted the boxes I had just bought to send GAWJ and KALI their part of the pressings and refused to leave it if I wouldn't let him switch to the other one. of course I could've "used force" to remove him but I knowing I can't make him stop going on my nerves I decided that Monday would also be ok to send out the parcels!
