NEW PRANK RELEASE: MORPHEME 7"!

Six tracks of rampaging noise! Torrential waves of guitar distortion blast as vocals shout and swirl through the burning chaos, fueled by rapid fire drumming and thundering bass charges. This San Francisco band makes an explosive combination of Japanese-styled noisy hardcore ( KURO, GAI, CONFUSE, DISCLOSE) and heavy early 80's Finnish Hardcore influences - ( KAAOS, BASTARDS, KANSAN UUTISET ), with lyrics sung entirely in Japanese by a Tokyo Transplant and Japanese- American. MORPHEME's debut solo release after a quickly sold out demo tape and recently released a split 7" EP with Nagoya Japan's DCLONE, Recorded by Greg Wilkinson at Ear Hammer studios in Oakland, it captures the bands wild live delayed vocal effects and distorted attack. Comes in a hard pocket sleeve with an insert.


Morpheme were one of our favorite Live band's we saw this year. These Ep's have been pressed on Limited Edition White vinyl for the U.S. and Red Vinyl for Japan. Check a track of the EP at Prank's Myspace

RORSCHACH Re-union Shows!!!

RORSCHACH - the legendary Abc No Rio band- will play a Series of Reunion shows on the East Coast this year! "All original lineup, all original roadies, Jon Hiltz of Born Against on the sound board." September 23rd to the 27th. Details are Still being worked out, but so far it looks like this:

September 23 Richmond, VA (Probably ALLEY KATZ) with FORENSICS and PULLING TEETH.

September 24 Asbury Park, NJ ASBURY LANES with THE BLACK KITES +1

September 25 New York City SANTO'S PARTY HOUSE with CELEBRITY MURDERS (Last Show) +1

September 26 Boston, MA

September 27 Philadelphia, PA Unitarian Church with 1.6 BAND + 1

There are some limited Records in the works for these events!

RORSCHACH played one of the first ten or so shows I put on in the early 90's with Born Against in a House and have always been a favorite. One of the two bands drummers injured his hand, so in the deilirum of having driven 14 hours from Oklahoma to play in a 100 degree house show in central Alabama, the bands swapped up members and somehow ended the night doing Black Flag covers in their boxer shorts. I was lucky to book
RORSCHACH a few times at Gilman after that, always punishing. Don't miss!

For those of you who don;t know the band, Check out a Myspace tribute site here.

SOUND POLLUTION RECORDS, 1990-2008.

Sad news this past week from one of our favorite labels, SOUND POLLUTION RECORDS announced on their Website:

"The end is here. After nearly 20 years, Sound Pollution is going to end. There are still plenty of records to sell, and everything will still be up and running until all the stock is gone. A few releases that have been in the pipeline might still happen or may move to another label. I’ll keep everyone posted on it. Over the years, I’ve put a ton of time into the label and have loved it. Sound Pollution has been a one-person operation since inception; that plus working a "real" job doesn’t leave me with a lot of free time. I’d like to see what else I can do with all the time I currently spend on the record label. I’ll still be setting up tours for friends’ bands and playing in Hellnation. Many many thanks to everyone all around the world who has supported the label over the years. The label wouldn’t have amounted to much without the help of so many great people. I’m really amazed at how many absolutely great records Sound Pollution was lucky enough to release. So don’t miss out on them. Once they’re gone...they’re gone."

Past their 20th anniversary, HELLNATION has been busy playing Live all over the world and just recently releasing a long awaited split with CAPITALIST CASUALTIES , but the news still really makes us sad, as Sound Pollution has released some of our favorite records in the last two decades, and had not failed to continue releasing overkill Brutality in recent years with killer records by SAYYADINA, MASSGRAV, UNCURBED, BRODY'S MILITA and more.

I still have a few SP releases I need to pick up myself- the best tribute to Sound Pollution right now is probably doing just that!!! But Can't send enough Kudos, salutes and praise SP 's way! Will be missed, understatement of the year.

HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY ..BURY THE LIVING!!

Today marks the 10 Year anniversary of Memphis, TN hardcore band BURY THE LIVING , who formed on Halloween in 1998! BTL have gone through extensive line up changes over the years and long periods of Inactivity, the most recent being after their 2006European tour. They played briefly at the start of the year- doing a near " tour" of venues in Memphis one week,but are happy to report they are rehearsing again and hoping to record a new Self-released 7" EP shortly, to be followed by some touring outside of Memphis.

Their Prank debut, "All The News That's Fit to Scream" We're especially proud of in it's direct political attack, in a era of hardcore that largely sidestepped that. Like all the memphis bands, BTL is a unique cast of characters from One time Semi-pro wrestler Singer Pat to Drummer Ceylon who is well known for his committment to Activism and brings that to the band, as well as musicianship of his long time band PEZZ and current band Akasha who both share members with BTL.

Happy anniversary BURY THE LIVING!

SAVE THE DATE AUGUST 23RD

It's My Birthday, Prank's 13th Anniversary and still close enough for a West Coast record release show for "The Graveyard of Utopia" So We're flying WORLD BURNS TO DEATH in for what will probably be their only West Coast appearance this year. AUGUST 23rd at Annie's Social Club in SF. 21+... sorry kids, their drummer, because of work and family committments and the way flights out of Austin work can only come to SF for literally 14 hours. Plus we've got a couple other bands we're working on bringing in, so need the higher door take of a bar to not totally eat it on plane flights. Prank is trying to experiment with doing more of these kinds of shows in the Bay, so hopefully We can bring in more bands on Special events and balance them with Shows at Gilman and other All ages venues.

UPdate: IRON LUNG is now on the bill too. Only Bay Area show this summer? DESOLATION and one more will open.

Also-thrillhouse Records is having a a festival that entire weekend, with shows at thrillhouse, The parkside and the Knockout, so it's a great weekend to come to the bay!

WORLD BURNS TO DEATH LP LIMITED OUT ! AND THEN GONE!

The Special Edition of WORLD BURNS TO DEATH " The Graveyard Of Utopia" is Sold out in 24 hours! Thanks folks!!The regular version of the third and newest World Burns To Death LP, co-released with HG FACT, will be out soon. Since they have always been home to all things WB2D, we're had HARDCORE HOLOCAUST distribution handle the limited version / The same as the Version recently on Sale at Chaos In Tejas.
You can go directly to HCH New arrivals page Here and pick up some other cool stuff including limited Japanese releases HG FACT and UNDER THE SURFACE records dropped off at the tejas.

We will have the regular version which is deluxe in and of itself, with a heavy weight sleeve and large booklet) on sale shortly, We've apparently backed up the pressing plant with the impending onslaught on Prank Releases!!

Below is the info on the LP itself. We also still have the CD version available.

8 Track Raging Attack of Absolute Hardcore... with searing guitars, a thundering and rapid fire drum pound, and harsh vocals spitting forth a brutal vision. This third LP from Austin, Texas's WORLD BURNS TO DEATH further evolves and refines their trademark sound as dark, ramcharging ultra-punk comes full circle... Here is the speed and severity of their debut 45's AND the refinement, heaviness and precision of their two previous landmark albums on Hardcore Holocaust Records.

"The Graveyard Of Utopia", was tracked initially in Tokyo, Japan after the WB2D 2007 Japanese tour at the legendary OUR HOUSE studios (Where a majority of the classic Tokyo hardcore records have been recorded since the 1980's) with final recording tweaks and mixing done at THE BUBBLE in Austin ( Who have recorded everything from BUILT TO SPILL and THE MEAT PUPPETS, to SIGNAL LOST's 'Prosthetic Screams" ). The result is the band's strongest offering to date.

Studio time in Tokyo allowed for guest appearances from luminaries from the Japanese Punk scene- with backing vocals on from Ishiya FORWARD and Iizawa BASTARD/JUDGEMENT as well as guest guitar solos from Souichi FORWARD and Keiro AKUTARE and Chelsea DEATHSIDE/PAINTBOX. Studio Time in Austin allowed for backing vocals from Ashley SIGNAL LOST.
While WB2D's lyrics have always been caged in Historical reference, the theme of this LP is rooted in the Failures, Disasters and Massacres of the Soviet State Apparatus.

This is a split release between Prank and Japanese label HG FACT, with them handling the CD version and Prank releasing the vinyl. WORLD BURNS TO DEATH are currently preparing for their first tour of Europe, hitting four major punk festivals across Continental Europe and Scanidinavia in a whirlwind two weeks. Making Punk Happen Indeed!
