In print titles up for sale/Trade below:Dad They Broke Me: ROT LP (+CD) (WER#13) ltd. 370
CD version ltd. 150 in Stumptown Chipboard covers.
Without a doubt one of the most important and genuine heavy bands to come out of Melbourne. Words like crushing and brutal fail to come close to describing this band and this release (their third). There will only ever be one Dad They Broke Me and frankly i don’t know if I could take another. Recorded at Headgap by Neil Thomason.
One time press of 370 copies on the blackest vinyl known to man.
Hard Ons: Live 2005 7” (WER#12) $12
Part one in a two part series documenting the Hard Ons 25th Anniversary show at the Annandale, Sydney. Original singer/drummer Keish joined the band out front on vocals. This 7” sees them power through 4 tracks before Keish jumped on stage. Features one song never before released.
Screen printed white on black hand made covers. Coloured vinyl. One time press of 500. Doubt they will last long.
Fire Witch – LIARS! CD. (WER#11/BroFi003) Ltd. 500 Copies
Gathers the two long out of print EPs as one cohesive album.
The album that will not die, this release has been a long time in coming with previous release attempts being marred by labels busting, hard drives crashing, funding disappearing and finally the band calling it a day in 2007. Recorded in 2005, the release documents the bands first time in a studio (their previous releases having been recorded live). I Spit Lies being a 30 minute epic recorded over two days, Critter/Kritta being an impromptu live recording made in the left over studio time from the I Spit Lies session. This will never be re-pressed and can never be pressed to Vinyl. An essential part of the Fire Witch story.
Presented in 4 colour, hand screened Stumptown “Arigato Pak” cardboard covers with a 6 page insert. All new artwork by Jace Rogers (Fangs of…)
We retail at $15AU
Fangs of a TV Evangelist 12” LP (+ free CD) (WER#10) Ltd. 300 Copies.
Third release in less than 12 months?!! Quality AND quantity is the name of the game here.
Recorded over two days at Headgap Studios by Neil Thomason and Sloth the end result is a down to earth and particularly fat sounding record.
From the creepy and atmospheric 10 minute opener “Spider Spider,” to the unrelenting pulse of “Stripclub” and the punk/prog journey of “Anarchists Who Can’t Do Manual Labour” the album has a particularly cohesive sound without ever sounding repetitive. This is not a collection of songs, this is a real “album.”
Hand screen printed and assembled covers including printed inserts. Artwork by jace and kicks arse as usual. We retail at $24 AU
Inappropriate Tough Guy Behaviour- S/T CD & 12” (WER#9) (ltd. 200 copies)
Debut from two piece Melbourne based relentless touring machine. Comprised of Patto and jem (both of Fire Witch). In the tradition of their former unit they continue to blur the line between improvised and calculated mayhem. The listener is left confused and curious as to what was intentional and what was plucked from the ether. This real punk rock without the bullshit.
LP covers are screen printed with beautiful artwork courtesy of Anna Vo (Crux/An Out Recordings). CD features entirely different artwork, based around transparencies.
We Retail at $22AU
