Close Watch

We recorded a new track, "Close Watch", for the BITTER COLD 7" comp that our friend Graem from Mellow Harsher/SFN is organizing. Won't be posting any sort of stream/preview of said track but keep your ear to the ground for when that drops. Other bands submitting tracks (that we know of) are Sick/Tired, Scaphe, LIFES, Mellow Harsher and Milorganaut. A few Great Lakes area bands essentially commiserating over the worst Midwest winter we have ever endured.

No Coast

We have a slew of Midwest shows slated for the coming season, no more/no less until we get our West Coast tour planned out for the summer.  Check the appropriately labeled "Shows" section of this blog for dates and details.  

Resolution

Two months later, we are finally getting replacement copies of the clear smoke 10" sent to us in the mail, it's been quite the struggle the whole way but resolution is in sight...apologies to those who pre-ordered and ended up having to wait the longest out of anyone to get a copy of this, and apologies to those who initially got sent a not-so-good "clicky" sounding copy (even if you don't give a shit about it, it bothers us knowing they are floating around out there).  With that being said, these records will all be mailed out to those who ordered on Friday and Saturday.  I am paying out of pocket to send out over 50 packages of replacement records to those who got erroneous ones.  I'm not looking for any sort of handout but if you are feeling sympathetic to the cause maybe a buy a download of a release off of the Diseased Audio bandcamp page, or scoop up some tangible goods from the Diseased Audio web store.

In other news, we have been writing for some sort of future release.  What that is we don't know yet, but one finished song is in fact going towards a compilation that we will reveal further details about when they arise.

EDIT: I SPOKE TOO SOON...received the "replacement" copies of the clear version of this and they just sound exactly the same, if not worse, than the initial erroneous copies.  New stampers are now being ordered and I am getting sent ANOTHER box of 100 copies of the clear smoke 10" next week.

10" is OUT NOW

15 songs of misanthropic brutality.  Pressing of 500 (400 black, 100 clear smoke).  Clear is already sold out...

PURCHASE HERE

Distros contact diseasedaudio@yahoo.com for wholesale rates.  International folk be forewarned, shipping is INSANELY high these days (10 copies of this 10" to anywhere outside of the country is 50 dollars to ship at the cheapest, to give you an idea).

Defective

About 50 copies of the clear smoke version of the Sea of Shit 10" were shipped out in the past few days, funny thing is they all have a slight static "swish" sound on every revolution (on the A side, that is) which sounds pretty annoying.  This is a defect that is not present on the test presses or black vinyl copies, too bad we caught it after already mailing everything out...I have already sent emails to everyone who I shipped packages to explaining the situation further.  If for some reason you receive a clear copy of this record in the next few days and did NOT receive an email, contact me at diseasedaudio@yahoo.com immediately so I can send you a replacement copy that plays properly.

Apologies to everyone who has been inconvenienced by this.  The pressing plant really went above and beyond with their half-assed negligence this time around, salting the wound with this final mishap.

ALSO, if you didn't receive anything that means we caught this before getting your package mailed.  So this doesn't apply to you, but it does mean your box has still not shipped out due to me having to wait for replacement copies from the plant.

Benefit Show

"My brother, Jonah, has cancer. It's hard to swallow, hard to digest, and all the other applicable cliches. But there it is. And any good punk's knee-jerk reaction to hard times and personal difficulty is tried and true: the Benefit Show. Round up some bands, put on a show, and all the proceeds go to alleviate the financial burden that results from a serious illness. 

Jonah hasn't been able to work, and might not be able to work much in the foreseeable future, so any dough is good dough in order for him to keep living in this capitalist nightmare we call America. While his medical bills are being taken care of for the time being, he still has rent, food, bills, and hardcore records he needs money for. Punk is all about community, friends, so if you can make it out, please show your support for a cause that is very personal to me and many other people. Thanks." - Simon Czerwinskyj
