"This is a capable band, confident beyond its years. Most demos don't display this level of power." (aka, more press love for DIAL)

The press response for DIAL's debut EP has been overwhelmingly positive so far. A couple more reviews just came in...

From INVISIBLE ORANGES:
The members of New Zealand's Dial probably grew up during the peak of AmRep. ... True to the form, Dial don't integrate much variety into songs. The rhythm section anchors throbbing tempos. Guitars grind along with shrieked vocals. The lockstep, stuttering opener "If You're Not Battling, You're Dead" sets the tone with machine-like pounding that sounds like it was wound in barbed wire. ... This is a capable band, confident beyond its years. Most demos don't display this level of power.
Read the whole INVISIBLE ORANGES review here

From LAMBGOAT:
Dial's demo-turned-debut-EP is an excellent start. It's heavy, pissed off, and noisy in some of the best ways possible. ... Dial is Unsane heavier, The Jesus Lizard with less guitar lines and more riffs, and the Melvins more pissed off all rolled into one. Few new bands have this much potential, so I want more. A lot more.

Decibel Magazine review in the next issue too! Stoked to see what they have to say.

To anyone who's now convinced DIAL is worth checking out, we've got this debut EP available for just $4.20 until the end of the month. Please pick up a copy in our Online Store. Haven't heard them yet? Jam a couple tracks on our myspace page.

ROBOTIC EMPIRE - Online Store Update -Torche S/T repress + update items


We just got in the 4th (!) pressing of TORCHE's landmark Self-Titled Reissue LP, and it turned out sweet! We've never denied going overboard on the deluxe vinyl thing for TORCHE records... and keeping that in mind, dare we say the vinyl colors for this batch of the Self-Titled Reissue are the best yet. They compliment the gatefold album artwork more than the previous versions, and all-around turned out awesome.

In addition to the ever-expanding TORCHE color vinyl madness, we've also have had some rad (and obscure) jams come into our Robotic Empire - Online Store this week as well. Brutal & heavy jams from Canadian label Choking Hazard, the ugly sounds Universal Consciousness has been spewing out onto the world, a weird HOT CROSS / HOT CROSS "split" EP, the new TEENAGE COOL KIDS, GHOSTLIMB, SOFY MAJOR and more. Also worth pointing out is the fact that we are the only distro selling the blue color version of the new TEENAGE COOL KIDS! Here's the latest:

That pretty much sums up things for this update. Our "free Robotic Empire t-shirt with $40 orders" thing is still going on up through the end of the month, and we're keeping the quantities of the different designs pretty accurate on each individual item's page. So be sure to pick up a free label t-shirt if you order 40 bucks (or more) worth of stuff. Thanks / peace!

John Peel's son likes DIAL, plays a couple tracks on the BBC!

The legendary and influential British radio DJ John Peel has a son, Tom Ravenscroft, who filled in for someone else at the BBC6 over the weekend... and he played two tracks from DIAL's debut EP:

Friday: 0:37.33 = "Sweating"

Saturday: 0:32.59 = "If You're Not Battling, You're Dead"

Quote the man himself: "very very good, indeed" and we couldn't really agree more! He also called Robotic Empire a "lovely" label. Too cool.

"do you prefer to drill epileptic blows the mind?"

Google Translator rules... turned this DIAL review into this:

-Dial "Dial"

I must admit that my only prior experience with New Zealand music (at least to remember at this time) is through the brilliant Shiha, a large banda totally recommended for those who enjoy the quality of Grunge. The Dial (even if the connections are obvious nineties) passes the other. This debut ep is just the demo of the trio now reissued by Robotic Empire, and it will find the five most sick, violent and oppressive Noise-Rock. And, while maintaining this level for me to continue. So, do you want to leak distorted guitar riffs and vomit as thick as dissonant? Do seek the dizzying pace of Shellac? Or do you prefer to drill epileptic blows the mind? Are they wet just thinking about bombacha of pure feedback thrown ball with the precision timing of a machine gun? Are you looking for a female voice completely deranged, broken and hysterical? And prefer accompanied by male chorus in the form of wild screams? And what they tell me that under inducing diarrhea each immediate intervention? Ok, we have references, as appropriate. Unsane, The Jesus Lizard, Shellac mentioned, Helmet, Silvefish (the indispensable reference for any of the banda genre with a girl in front), as crude Neurosis and even some of the unrestrained violence of gangs or Deadguy such as Rorschach, pioneers in So bring on the Noise-Rock Hardcore heavier. But none of those names achieves promising obscure the personality of the group. And certainly the fact that the songs are similar in intensity and exhibits psychosis desencajada helps. Check (one more time. ... Are) the heaviest and most extreme music this is not Metal.
--------------
Not too shabby (we think). To celebrate, all $4.99 items in our Online Store (including the DIAL CDep... and almost every 7" & cassette tape we carry) are now discounted to $4.20 until the end of the month. ¡OlĂ©!
