The last copy of the Burmese Live War 7-inch is gone. It’s only taken three-quarters of my adult life. Seriously.

We’re finally down to our very last copy of Burmese Live War 7-inch. It’s only taken six years to sell, trade or lose 500 copies. Maybe we’ll throw a party.
Oh, and a new ft (the Shadow Governement) will be out next month. It’s a massive collaboration recorded at ten locations — including Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio, Mike Lust’s Phantom Manor and the gun range at Freedonia Ranch — the album features guest performances by William Elliott Whitmore, STNNNG‘s Chris Besinger, Tornavalanche‘s Zach Westerdahl and nine others. The offical date of release is November 9.

So the newest release is out. The Murder of Crows and Copeater split 7-inch has arrived from the plant. The limited version is on black vinyl. You can see additional details or buy it.
We’re also taking pre-orders on the latest-and-greatest from ft (the Shadow Government). The Black and White Album “might be one of the best records ever,” says Matt. “Seriously, this thing will fucking blow you away.” A sample track is posted on the band’s MySpace page. If you’re interested in buying it now and getting it later, send us an e-mail.

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.
