Christopher’s Liver “Stop Apologizing - Extended Mix” 4.00
Christopher Ingham (the Heroic Livers, Colostomy Bag) and Laura Swindall enjoy making music together. Taking elements from many genres to compose narratives about life experiences. Autobiographical fiction meets harmonized, hoarse vocals chords. My friend Ken released this tape, its 45 minutes of music (STOP APOLOGIZING plus four-track recordings of songs old and new by Christopher w/o his liver). Check one out, seriously.

Counter-Attack - “Live” 3.00
Counter-Attack was an anarcho-punk band from Belgium that was formed in the mid-’90s and existed through 2004, releasing two LPs, “Laments And Skulls” and “Master And Jester.” Musically, they are a perfect blend between Crass and Conflict with interesting and catchy songs. Aside from their music, what set Counter-Attack apart from their ’90s contemporaries was their ability to take political issues and attack them from unique and interesting angles in a way that I can only compare to Crass. As an example, the song “Zebra” looks at the prison industrial complex from a perspective that questions correctional institutions and their ability to improve a prisoner’s behavior, while never excusing the behaviors of those in prison. They combat both the apathetic punk attitude as well as the political punk movement itself in a critical and engaging way without ever coming off as preachy or condescending. This tape features two live sets including one from the Franse Vaart in Ghent, Belgium in 2000 and another from Glasgow, Scotland in 2003. The band broke up in 2004 after having recorded a 7″ for Tribal War Records that was never released.

Little Wings / Justin Clifford Rhody - “Split” 5.00
the Little Wings side is entitled Magic Wood (spelled “cagim doow” or “magic would”) and contains 5 new songs along with ads, commercials and noise collage parts between em. Justin’s half of the record (”me vs. evil”) consists of 15 noisy minimalist pop songs that were recorded in 2001/2002. Everything from both sides was recorded at home and has a very gainy, warm feeling to it. You’ll feel happy. The LP version will be pressed on mixed color vinyl and have hand painted covers by Kyle and Justin themselves as well as a small booklet of drawings from the two! (Co-released with Bitter Like The Bean Records!)

The Max Levine Ensemble “OK, Smarty Pants!” 5.00
The first full length release in 4 years by the D.C. Metropolitan Area’s The Max Levine Ensemble! “Ok Smarty Pants” is a gnarly cassette tape of 14 tracks of punk. YES, punk. Instense, youthful, catchy, and critical of the way the world pushes on us and the ways that we fall down, try to push back, and do push back. It will make you dance, sing, yell, and then think about what that all means. A great release by my one of my favorite bands.
