AUTONOMY- "The Art of Work in the Age of Digital Reproduction" LP
Dark and atomospheric anarcho-punk. This shit sounds like Joy Division and The Mob all at the same time. They're from Carbondale and feature local hero Ray Suburbia. Honestly, though this is pretty far removed from a lot of other Dirt Cult releases, this is one of my favorites!

FUR COATS- "Don't Make Me Beg" 7" EP
This is the debut from Chicago powerhouse, Fur Coats, featuring members of Das Kapital, Direct Hit!, No Empathy, The Traitors, etc. I got sent these songs, immediately fell in love, and screamed "I'll do it!" These songs carry on the great tradition of melodic Chicago punk, and the hooks will get stuck in your head for days.

MARKED MEN- "Ghosts" TAPE
"Blurring the rawness and velocity of their self-titled debut with the slightly more developed songwriting "chops" of the last two, the Marked Men have truly delivered the best of both worlds. Since their debut album came out on Rip Off in 2002 (reissued in 2008 on Dirtnap!), the Marked Men have established themselves as one of the best, most distinctive, compelling, and instantly recognizable punk bands of the 2000's.

MUHAMMADALI- S/T LP
Imagine old Flaming Lips and Butthole Surfers mixed with Hickey, but not the poppy side of Hickey that most bands tend to emulate...more like the wacked out stoner stuff that I always sorta prefered.

SUNDOWNERS- S/T 7" E.P.

NO SIR I WON'T- "More Politicians/No Party System" 7"
Featuring members of AWFUL MAN, BRAIN KILLER, SURRENDER, FOREIGN OBJECTS, blah blah blah, the debut 7" is the best take on peace punk that we've heard in a long, long time. Catchy and scathing. The best new punk band going at the moment.

SHIT CREEK- "Psychic Hospital" 7" EP
OIGCORE is alive and well in the form of Shit Creek. Four new working class anthems from the dudes who work more on their facebook posts than they do at their jobs. But being locked in a small bathroom recording Rancid covers for youtube is hard work. It's also hard work drawing the same comic badly over and over again. Hard work is writing rule books for the punk rock lifestyle. Almost as hard as recoding four punk records in less than a year. Yeah, that just happened.

PLOW UNITED- "Narcolepsy" LP
Plow United was dead before Narcolepsy - their third album - hit the ground in 1998. Beginning life as a quintessential mid-90s pop-punk trio, Plow United got darker, angrier and more complex with every passing month. Narcolepsy is the final document of that process, and its twists and turns are something to behold. Released on Creep Records in 1998, Narcolepsy has been out of print, like, forever. Plow United was brought back to in 2011, and to celebrate, we're bringing Narcolepsy back to life as well, And on vinyl no less, painstakingly remastered by Stephen Egerton of All/Descendents fame. Welcome to the dark side of the 1990s.
