A/V MURDER - The 7" is now available. Two tracks of terse, jagged punk music made by people from the Tyrades, Baseball Furies and Cococoma. Sample here. COLA FREAKS - A third pressing of the Dødt Batteri 7" is now available. BILL BONDSMEN - These guys took over a year to get me two songs for their 7", and it was worth every second of waiting. They have really stepped things up with this one, amazing songs, great recording. You are officially waiting anxiously for this record, which should be ready by 2010. LÖGNHALSMOTTAGNINGEN - Their name is so long because it has to reach from the US, where Stewart (of Boyracer) records the music, to Sweden, where Martin (of The Faintest Idea) adds the vocals. Rooted firmly in KBD, particularly the early Swedish sounds, they come off like a mix of Missbrukarna and Kriminella Gitarrer. Look up their myspace to see what they are all about, and watch for an EP from them in the coming months. WHITE LOAD - Not actually a Local Cross band, but I was involved with the release of their 7". Simple, noisy, violent, hard punk music from Providence, RI. You can hear samples and order their record at myspace.com/leatherbarrecords or order it here while you are getting Local Cross releases. DISTROS
