Kill Your Stereo

Black Numbers are stoked to announce the first recordings from legendary NYC pop punk veterans Grey Area in over ten years! Various members have had a part in Token Entry, Kill Your Idols, Warzone and Black Train Jack amongst others. After last releasing "Fanbelt Algebra" on Victory in 2000, Grey Area did successful reunions this past summer in Philly and NYC and then were surprise guests for last summer's This is Hardcore Fest. Grey Area headlined Generic Insight Radio Fest earlier this year and then played in Belgium for one show at Groezrock Festival in April. Joining them on this split 7" (limited to 500 - 100 clear, 150 red, 250 blue) will be Florida's Go Rydell, who are following up their highly-acclaimed debut LP "The Golden Age" on Black Numbers. Go Rydell recently made the cut for AP's 100 Bands You Need To Know in 2011. Mixing heartfelt lyrics with short bursts of punk rock fury to create a fun, positive atmosphere, Go Rydell's dynamic take on melodic hardcore is ripe wit...

We are proud to welcome San Francisco's Punch to the Deathwish Inc. affiliated family. Punch "Nothing Lasts E.P." will be released by a partnership of Deathwish, Discos Huelga, and 625 Thrash. A release date and Pre-ordering information will be coming soon. In June of 2011, Punch piled into their two beat up Honda Civics in San Francisco, CA and set off on a twenty six minute journey to East Palo Alto, CA. With a population of just over four thousand gang members, East Palo Alto may be a peculiar place for a punk band to go, but nestled in its urban isolation is acclaimed engineer Jack Shirley and his Atomic Garden Studios (formerly the ShitBox). There under Shirley's attentive ears, Punch poured their patchwork sound into their latest work, "Nothing Lasts E.P." The influences on "Nothing Lasts" are as varied as the 5 members' musical backgrounds, spending time in bands as diverse as Doppelganger, Loma Prieta, and Bullets In. As with their previous releases "Nothing Lasts" stradd...

Frenzal Rhomb have finally finished their new album Smoko At The Pet Food Factory in Fort Collins Colorado, with Descendents' Bill Stevenson standing watch as producer! Bill's famous punk rock studio operates within the grounds of his large pet food factory; processing gristle, fillers and connective tissue into extruded, rolled and pressed pet chunks. The process of living, recording and especially sleeping within such an environment was confronting for the 4 vegetarian members of Frenzal Rhomb, but the resulting music is so chumpy, you could carve it Smoko At The Pet Food Factory is set for release August 19 through Shock Lyrics to the first song Bird Attack are insultingly simple, and were aired at recent shows: "Magpie, seagull, ibis. Eyes drawn, ice cream, helmet". And the pet food themed indignity continues for 16 tracks, including one near the end about world famous bass player and alleged substance abuser Karl Alvarez. Nestled comfortably in-between are songs about cockroa...
