(Updated) Every now and then when a storage space, warehouse or basement gets rearranged, we find random parts of records - empty sleeves, inserts, raw vinyl. As the '90s wound down and vinyl looked like it was going the way of the 8-track, most of this stuff began to look more like trash than treasure. But times have definitely changed, and discoveries like these now present opportunities to bring back old favorites that might otherwise remain out of print. In this case we are now shipping HOOVER, SLANT 6 and IGNITION all of which have received limited re-issues on vinyl thanks to the discovery of several boxes of empty sleeves (in stores on August 16th).

DIS89 HOOVER The Lurid Traversal of RT. 7

DIS39 IGNITION The Orafying Mysticle Of...
Ignition features Alec & Chris of Faith, Dante of Gray Matter, and Chris Thomson of Circus Lupus. Their shows were chaotic and unpredictable - one ended before the band had finished even a single song because Chris Bald smashed his guitar and amp in a fit of frustration.

DIS85 SLANT 6 What Kind of Monster Are You?
This 3-song single was recorded at Inner Ear Studios with Ian MacKaye in 1993. The band returned to Inner Ear with Ian later that year to record their first full-length, “Soda Pop Rip Off” (still available on CD) , which was released on Valentine’s Day 1994. Slant 6 toured in both the States and in the UK and broke up shortly after recording their 2nd full-length, Inzombia.
