Dispatches from Powerviolence: Bomb the Music Industry! Reveal Details of New Album



Straight from the horse's mouth, sharkfucks... Today in a post on their die*Space page, Jeff clued us all in to some juicy details about the upcoming BTMI record that is apparently less than a month away. Scrambled, as usual, will be available for free download (donations don't give you AIDS, no matter what you heard, so try and be a little giving) on the Quote Unquote Records site, and like their last release, hard copies in CD and LP formats will be released on that forgotten gem, Asian Man Records.

Also, if you're into this kind of thing, you can go check out a track off Scrambled that's on the Quote Unquote 2009 sampler right here. But regardless, Jeff swears it's done and will be posted at the end of the month, and also gave a peak at the album art too, which you can use your peepers on below. Also, he says "It will contain a thirty-four page fanzine featuring ex-members of Latterman. We've met a lot of amazing people through music and a whole mess of them are kickin' mad knowledge about the shit they've learned over the years. From how to change your oil to how to make a decent salsa when it's not tomato season, to even more things printed by people who aren't in Mustard Plug. I'm pretty damn excited about it. So excited that I've been staring at my computer for twenty hours editing it." Sounds pretty sick to me... but as usual, I guess only time will fuck.

Found You, Asshole: Bomb the Music Industry!



I don't even know how I stumbled across this "band"... but damn it, I'm sure as hell glad I did. The word band is in quotes because BtMI! are really a musical collective at best. Shockingly, some of the "band-sounding" tracks on their three full-lengths were done alone by the lead songwriter, Jeff Rosenstock (who you might have heard of from The Arrogant Sons of Bitches). From reading up more on this 'group', I have learned they literally piss the DIY punk ethic from every orifice... which, quite frankly, is a refreshing change. What I'm refering to is the distributing of their three albums for free download on their site and their label's site (Quote Unquote Records). Not only this giant middle finger to the music industry, but they also bring paint and stencils to their shows so fans can make their own shirts afterwards, and offer a chance for fans to hop on stage with the guys if they learn a song and bring their own instument... fuckin a.

So I wanted to throw these guys onto the list to try and place even a shread of the powerviolence spotlight on these cats. They're dropping a new album on July 31st on Asian Man Records (remember those assholes??) and are going on a three week June mini-tour in the Midwest and North East... so hop on that shit when it blows through your bigtop.
