tapes
We began selling tapes in an attempt to make rare and hard to find material by bands available to people that would like to hear it but don't want to pay the ridiculous "collector's" prices that many people ask for this material. There is absolutely no reason that anyone should have to give their right arm to get to hear the music and ideas of a band they like, especially within the diy/punk scene where the idea of releasing our own records is to combat the high prices of the music industry. For this reason, we started creating compilation tapes of rare and out of print material and have since began carrying live material and demos as well. All tapes come on high quality TDK and Maxell tapes, are of good sound quality & have Xeroxed covers & inserts. If you're interested in tape trading, or have rare records, live stuff, demos, etc. of bands that you would be willing to tape & donate to us to sell at a non-profit price, then please get in touch.
All tapes are $2 postage paid in the U.S. (unless otherwise noted).
Please see the ordering instructions page before sending off your order. Thanks!

Parkinson/ Aghast split A great split tape from two very politically motivated punk bands from Malaysia. Parkinson come back with a much better produced sound since their previous CD and deliver a more pulverizing grindcore style that just rips through their songs on the tape. Aghast play some awesome crusty dirge type stuff with gruff vocals that is really cool as well. Another great tape out of Malaysia that everyone should check out. $2
Poison Girls "daughters & sons" I don't think that there will ever be another band that will sound like the Poison Girls did.

This is taken from the LP of the same title and contains 6 lengthy songs of amazing musicianship along the lines of bands such as Amebix, Antisect and Nausea complete with powerful female vocals, amazing flowing guitar leads and poetic lyrics covering political issues. Words can't even begin to describe how great of a band Sacrilege was. $2
