RECORD STORE ( DAY) OF THE PAST!

Out on the Record hunt this morning, Digging through a pile of 78's, I found the article below from the San Francisco Call Bulletin From Nearly 60 years ago- January 30, 1951 about William Melander's Record Exchange which used to be in Downtown San Francisco's Tenderloin Neighborhood ( and now, apparently is either an apartment building or a parking lot)-one of San Francisco's legendary first used record stores- Anyway, Since tomorrow is "record store Day" ( and Prank has no exclusive releases , but if you're out anyway look for the new ICE NINE and DESOLATION records!) I thought We'd share this. You'll need to toggle between the two Jpegs to read it through, but enjoy how little the hobby has changed in half a century!

ICE NINE " Nobody's Son" 7"
Mailorder copies on Colored Vinyl - First Pressing= White Vinyl, Limited to 500.
ICE NINE from Indianapolis, Indiana represented everything that was great about resurgent extreme hardcore of the 1990's- a experimental willingness to throw anything against the wall to make it's point, incorporating the straight forward attack of 80's hardcore but pulverizing formula through burly Low end down beat, intensely Frenetic drumming, swirling guitar leads and the fragmentary Midwest stop and start twists. A Uniquely Original band like their contemporaries HIS HERO IS GONE, IN/HUMANITY, END OF THE CENTURY PARTY and with a sound way ahead of the same stop-melody-start-grind that became popular in the late nineties / early 00's by half a decade, Prank was originally slated to release an LP by ICE NINE in 1996, but the band broke up before it was recorded. Band members went on to play in TIME IN MALTA, BURN IT DOWN, MAHJAS, THE PROBLEMATICS, YOU WILL DIE and THE DREAM IS DEAD. A successful CD collection of ICE NINE's material from the Bovine, Ebullition, Rhetoric labels was released on Happy Couples Never Last in 2004 and in 2009, the band reunited with all original members to play Indianapolis's DUDEFEST. The response was so phenomenal ICE NINE wrote three new tracks that pick up right where they left off. Mastered by George horn with a cover by Bob Peele ( {mag] Fanzine. ICE NINE are currently writing a new album for Prank in 2010.

DESOLATION " Rest In Panic" 7"
Mailorder copies on Splatter white/black vinyl.
The Bay Area's DESOLATION return !

DESOLATION went on Hiatus shortly after their Self-tilted prank Debut LP of 2005, but return with a new vocalist and three new tracks. Fusing influences of the members previous and current bands-BORN/DEAD, ABRUPT, STRUNG UP, SCURVY DOGS with a marked inspiration from Japanese Hardcore with relentless upbeat energy and searing leads , these are the fastest DESOLATION tracks yet, but still retain the complex song writing and bleak feel of their previous releases.
