Timebomb - No Values 7"

The first band that we had the pleasure of working with has just finished up playing TIHC, and releasing an awesome fucking record. They are working their asses off and are deserving of everything they have earned. Check out a video from TIHC and pick up a 7" from Cold Cuts or Harvcore records at the links below.

New Webstore

We've finally made the transition to our new webstore at http://occ.storeenvy.com. With the ever so expanding 'catalog' that we've acquired, we had to leave our dogshit bigcartel site in the dust. Prices and shipping remain the same but we've added the Occult 45 - 2013 demo, our last copy of Low Life - Empire Of Shit, and some newly gained CD demos of the Australian 2-piece hardcore band Quinnipiac. Record store day specials and new release announcements to come very soon!

INTHESHIT interview

INTHESHIT is a grindcore band hailing from Boston, MA that has arguably put out some of the best DIY releases on the east coast for some time now. We're beyond stoked to help the band release 'Born To Kill' on cassette. 4 seriously punishing tracks in under 10 minutes has the band really coming into their own. We asked John of ITS a few questions regarding the bands new material and upcoming releases. Check it out:

Having been a band for a handful of years now, do you think you're really hitting your stride now?

I think some of the hard work is paying off. It seems like things really came together with the addition of 2 new members. We're only gonna keep getting better, faster, and putting the sickest music we can and try to spread it out to as many people who will listen.

How does being a newly formed 5 piece band now affect your writing ability?

Being a 5 piece has really made writing easy. Someone comes up with an idea or song, brings it to the group and we tweak it and work on it together. Having 2 guitar players now, Eric and Seth feed off each other and the final product is something we all helped add to create. I think this new material is some of the best this band has ever written.

How has the Boston DIY scene changed over the last year or so, and how has that affected Intheshit?

The DIY scene in boston always has it ups and downs. Right now and in the past few years its been down. The cops have really started cracking down on DIY venues. Some had a good run and every once and awhile you'll hear of a new place doing a show once or twice, but most are gone. As far as it affected us, we just hate playing bars if we can avoid it, so we try to play any diy spot once before the cops shut it down. DIY spaces always just have a better vibe and people seem to have more fun.

What do you guys have planned in the near future?

As far as the future we have a bunch of new songs we've already started recording, so expect some new records coming out this year. Trying to play out and tour as much as possible. We have a weekend in april, planning another one for end june and try to do like a week or two in September/October. But may 10th we get to go down to North Carolina to play with our good friends Man will Destroy Himself for their reunion show, stoked for that. We have a split with Godstomper and Eyes for Hands in the works, so staying busy.

I just wanted say thanks again for the support and making some of the best tapes I've ever heard. (Not just the one you did for us)

Thanks
John

Year In Review

What was our first full year of putting too much effort into making tapes turned out to be some resemblance of (call it what you will) 'success'. We've cut, folded, and dubbed over 500 cassettes in 2013. Thanks to each and every band we've worked with, and especially each schmohawk that placed an order with us. Looking forward to 2014 we have INTHESHIT - Born To Kill currently in transit to the band, and should be available through our web store in less than a week. 80 copies are being pressed and this one will definitely go fast. Keep an eye out for the band to hit the road again this April. Check out the final copy.

Shortly thereafter, we will begin work on a split cassette from Baltimore punks Dopecopper & Communion of Thieves slotted for a spring release. Both bands will be hitting the road in July as well. Stay tuned...

INTHESHIT - Born To Kill

We're stoked to announce as our 8th release, INTHESHIT - "Born To Kill". The run will be limited to 80 copies on lime green and should be available for sale sometime in December.

The Boston grinders had just recently completed an East Coast tour in October, and has recorded these 4 tracks as a newly formed 5 piece. Also keep an eye out for an upcoming split 7' with Priapus from NC on Give Praise Records that should be out soon.
