The PHOENIX FOUNDATION and KAKKA-HATA 77 vinyls are finally available, and definitely worth the wait! PHOENIX FOUNDATION sounds and looks so good on 140g vinyl in deluxe thick cardboard sleeve, and Jyrki Nissinen has expanded the original KH77 with more details! There are 150 white and 150 clear LPs of KH77, these are only available directly from us and Deaf Forever, or the band.

We just approved the first two RATSIA 7" test pressings.. damn they sound amazing! This is no surprise of course.. they will hit the stores in Finland on March 11th! A limited amount will be available from selected distros around the world.

WASTED are playing a bunch of shows in Finland this week - Turku, Joensuu and Lappeenranta, all with kick-ass local bands, go check them out! If the Anti-Flag show next month doesn't count, this might be the last chance in a long time to see Wasted on stage!
