New repress of Red Don's "The Dead Hand of Tradition"
This is the US repress of this 2015 banger from Portland's Red Dons. “The Dead Hand of Tradition” features ten new tracks of their signature dark, driving, melodic punk rock sound. The formula of their distinctive songwriting hasn’t changed, but has matured as a result of having five more nomadic years under their belts between previous releases. These new experiences have only added to the themes of alienation, emigration, and loss present in their music. They recorded and released a slew of singles on labels like Grave Mistake, Deranged, Taken By Surprise, Nada Nada Discos and Dirtnap (including a collaboration with TV Smith of UK punk legends The Adverts).
This is pressed on a metallic ink gatefold, featuring a thicker printed innersleeve and two vinyl variants (metallic gold and opaque red). Split pressing of 250/250. Classic, sick, good song writing and execution by a band who has never stopped and keeps kicking globally.
Label Updates, Annapura "V" and more
Happy international May Day to all the motherfuckers out there holding it down against the incoming waves of rampant fascism and tides of genocidal policy.
What is up internet psychos abroad. Since last updates, the Grudgepacker 7” came out, Sweat went to Japan on Spring break 2025, Generacion Suicida went on a west coast jaunt in Feb with the Spits and March with Cloud Nothings, and SWeat are recording a new record in July.
Annapura “V” LP comes out tomorrow May 2! This is a sick split release between myself and Ethospine Noise, the brothers who are 66% of the famed Riverside trio of Moxiebeat. Annapura are friends from Mexico City who have always been the most legit. This LP rips and comes in two different color variants of volcanic red or black ice. The cover is thicker than normal with a printed innersleeve and red foil. Check it out asap.
Otherwise got a lot more shit on the horizon including:
- the repress of the sick Red Dons LP “Dead Hand of Tradition”
-Sport “Colors” repress
-Sport new LP “IN Waves”
-Sweat LP
-the new Negative Blast LP.
