PAINTBOX “ TRIP, TRANCE & TRAVELLING” 2XLP
The Third LP from Tokyo’s PAINTBOX was almost ten years in the making is finally available on Vinyl. Combing the ferocity of Japanese hardcore with influences from across the music spectrum-Classic rock, J-Pop, Psychedelia and more- this double LP is an almost 70 minute journey through a myriad of emotions and Sound scapes that stretches the concept of a hardcore LP to it’s limit in a way only Japanese legends PAINTBOX could. ( Prank 105) Comes in a heavy weight tip-on Stoughton sleeve with fold out lyric sheet with English lyric translations. Mailorder copies on Yellow vinyl.

INITIAL STATE!

2009 Marks the 15th anniversary of the original Release of INITIAL STATE " Abort The Soul" which was original released on Clearview Records in 1994. An Evolution of Antischism and despite only laying four shows, Initial State with it's wild downtuning really was a key element in the genesis of the Downtuned Southern Crust of the mid to late 90's. I found a pretty neat blog where One of the guys from Clearview responded a little about the band and about the making of the LP , which was recorded, like many, Antischism, Deathreat,Guyana Punch Line, Damad recordings at columbia, South Carolina's The Jam Room which is still active as a recording studio today.
