ROBOTIC EMPIRE - Online Store Updates + THE CATALYST tapes!



Sup folks! So we're finally caught up on the massive wave of orders for the recent KAYO DOT 2xLP release (although we do still have some copies left on blue/blue/blue). We figured we'd take this opportunity to tell you about our latest updates to the Online Store, including a new label release by Richmond's unholy rock beast THE CATALYST.

This is the second in our cassette series and we couldn't really be much more stoked on how it turned out... well, maybe if we'd actually gotten them before the band left on their massive US tour with MASS MOVEMENT OF THE MOTH... but we ain't crying, they're still fucking sweet. 200 of these things were made, and before the band left they hand-screened a big pile of J-card covers for this thing with two colors of ink on this nice thick paper. The thing looks awesome, oh... and the music rules too.

Imagine KARP, NIRVANA, PG.99, BOTCH and THE MELVINS in a bong-hitting contest, and you're KINDA getting close, although no comparisons are really going to do this band justice... they just straight rip! Slow songs, fast songs... they've got it all down AND they rock the dual-drummer thing when things need to be taken up a notch. We got this recording professionally mastered (so it sounds MEGA) but if you still want some real convincing besides our standard "label hype", just go listen to their songs on ol' Myspace:

Those are UNmastered versions of the jams on this tape, but it'll give you an idea of what they're all about. We like them, hopefully you will too, but even if not we got a bunch of other new (and restoked) stuff that'll probably be up your alley. Here's this week's additions to our Online Store:
