Duncan of The Horde was injured in an accident and has no insurance. If you can, please help him out. You can look for updates on the band’s MySpace page.

The local college news product, The Daily Iowan, has a write-up about us and another (lame-o) Iowa City label. While the print version featured a photo of both Nick and Matt, the online version simply has the more handsome of the two.

We have two new split 7-inch releases at the pressing plant. Both showcase some of the best underground hardcore and grind bands in the Midwest. After a long wait the Murder of Crows/Copeater split 7-inch (SC011) is on its way. This record is a total sonic bomb blast, with Muder of Crows offering up one track of epic hardcore while Copeater kills the B side with four gut-wrenching grindcore tracks.
The other soon-to-be-released release is a 7-label split release: Trendy Bastard/Krupskaya split 7-inch (SC012). This is our first international split, featuring two bands that play similar styles of chaotic noisy hardcore only to be seperated by an ocean. This is really exciting to be a part of this project.
And yes, new distro stuff — including a lot of international stuff — is arriving weekly, so keep checking the web store.
Fianlly, a little good news/bad news. Bad news first: we’ve been forced to raise our international shipping rates because the USPS raised its rates. Again. Good news: We’re shipping everything that leaves the States via International Priority so your records will arrive much faster and more safely.

Scenester Credentials releases slated for 2007:
- Murder of Crows/Copeater split 7-inch. Two brutal and heavy bands from Wisconsin. The classic hardcore-punk-meets-power-violence split record.
- Trendy Bastard/Krupskaya split 7-inch. Iowa meets the UK in an all-out grinding hardcore slaughter. A five-label release (Sassbologna, Give Praise, Yehonala Tapes, Wolves Fight Good, and Scenester Credentials) painfully limited to 300 copies. This split should prove once and for all that Midwest hardcore is alive and still a threat.
- Get Rad/Call Me Lightning Covers split 7-inch. Wisconsin’s two best bands teaming up on a split record embodying the true meaning of friendship. Covering each other’s songs, aping each other’s record covers and laughing the whole way. Two equally amazing bands from two totally different genres playing on one kick-ass record.
And finally, we’ve got a big distro sale going on. Check regularly for new items and sales.

Matt was down at the post office today spending hundreds of dollars to ship copies of I, Fail all over the world.
So, if you ordered a copy, it’s on the way. If you didn’t, do it.

We’ve gotten a lot of e-mails asking when the pre-order of The Spectacle records will ship. There was a printing error that forced all the covers to be reprinted. But, have no fear, next week, the records will be here.
In the meantime, we’ve got a few copies of the limited-to-100 version unspoken for in the Web store.

We now offer an RSS feed. (If you’re like Matt and don’t really want to read the whole article, just know that you’ll need an RSS reader, such as Google Reader.)
So go ahead. Subscribe.

You can check out our brand-spankin’-new Web store for our other releases and more.
