9/25/12 - DESPERAT - DEMOKRATI ELLER DIKTATUR? EP (US PRESS) OUT NOW!

The US pressing of the DESPERAT - DEMOKRATI ELLER DIKTATUR? EP is out now. See below for more information:

"DEMOKRATI ELLER DIKTATUR?" features six tracks of raw Swedish D-Beat hardcore executed by some familiar faces who left an undeniable impact on the genre decades ago and continue to churn out punk hits. This EP was previously only available from Sweden's De:Nihil Records in a limited amount that sold out within a matter of days, but is now available once again from Beach Impediment for those who missed out the first time around. Each record comes in a glue pocket sleeve with a slightly different layout and color scheme than the original pressing. B.I.R. is proud to bring you the US pressing of this modern hardcore crusher featuring members of MOB 47 and WARVICTIMS, among others. First press limited to 500 copies. Play fuckin' loud.

There are 150 copies available for mailorder only; they are on slime green vinyl with screen printed covers compliments of Neolithic. Get them while you can!

FRONT LINE - BASIC TRAINING EP SOLD OUT / DESPERAT - DEMOKRATI ELLER DIKTATUR? EP - OUT 9/25/12!

Greetings,

The FRONT LINE - BASIC TRAINING EP is now SOLD OUT. There are a bit over 1,000 of them floating around out there so they shouldn't be too hard to find. Refer to the tab entitled "Distribution" above for places from which you can obtain this previously unreleased hardcore shocker from 1982. And if you are a store or distro trying to get copies, please contact the folks at Ebulliton, RevHQ, or Grave Mistake. Last I checked they all still have a few copies left as well.

A small update on the US press of the DESPERAT - DEMOKRATI ELLER DIKTATUR? EP; everything is in except for the vinyl. We are hoping to have that in by the end of September. PLEASE don't email me about obtaining copies until I announce that everything is in and ready to go. For those that have been asking, this will be the breakdown for the initial pressing:

• 150 mailorder edition; green vinyl with screen printed covers compliments of Neolithic
• 500 regular edition on black vinyl

Here is a picture of the regular covers with a slightly different layout than the original pressing to hold you over for the time being:

Again, this is not available yet but rest assured, I will be sure to update you once it is. Also, in addition to the previously mentioned Soundcloud, DESPERAT has a new Bandcamp up with all of their released material thus far up for your listening pleasure. Get some. That does it for now. Expect an update within a few weeks! CHEERS.

UPDATE: Everything is in! The record will officially be out Tuesday, September 25th! Stay tuned...
