We will have a short run of tour-only cassettes, shirts and pins (as well as the weird skies and wormwood 7"s). Do drop by and hang. 

Our new 7” is out now on Dear Skull Records. Sorry for the delay, our singer Rob almost died of pancreatitis. B-Side is “Suicide Circle” featuring Stephanie our old drummer on backing vox. You can order here: http://www.myspace.com/dearskullrecords

As if it wasn't bad enough we subject everyone we know in Pittsburgh to the cacophony that is this band, we have decided it would be a good idea to meet new people, in other cities, and make them pretend to like us as well. We have posted the proposed tour dates on the front page. If you want to help set up a show, or have some helpful hints as far as which public toilets in these cities WILL give you crabs, we'd love to hear from you.

Wormwood Star

Criminal IQ 7"

Cool Pittsburgh unit who take their post-post-core sounds in a direction that recalls classic NY scum rock of the 84 variety. Thick spurts of rot and riff and reek with great ganged chords and pumice aplenty.

Kim Phuc "Wormwood Star" 7"
Pittsburgh heavy-style muck-rockers put the creep on real nice with this seven-inch. Their first single didn't really thrill me, it was lacking in something. Something they have on this release. I love that they included a march-to-the-cliff "Intro" into "Freak Out the Squares", which tosses you off that precipice into some serious metal-intoned hardcore-rock, fusing a mid-period AmRep sound with way more dirt and velocity. A commanding vocal performance helps a lot too. Lyrics salute crime model Dawn Davenport in a nice and unexpected touch, proving they're not taking themselves too seriously. Nice girls don't wear cha-cha heels, and neither do these guys. On "Wormwood Star" the guy waxes about witches and Babylon and shit, while the band provides muscle via imposing riff building suitable to worship the devil to and then breaking into a Stooge-like death trip part with a little piano twinkle even. A really solid record without a weak moment that bends genres to create their own shadows to skulk about in. Enthralling and full of a confidence in sound I think that first 7" lacked. I didn't "get" what they were doing on that record, but with this one it's grimly clear. Creative sideways use of the 3/4 sleeve design with lyrics on the back.(RK)
