The JAUGUST, 2010 It-News for the It-kids:
1. HERE WE GO:
It's August--take a break, enjoy the weather--we'll be back in September with new releases including The Butcher Boys (w/Cheetah Chrome) 7" and new exclusive download releases from Estel!
New gig dates announced for Prisoners and The Butcher Boys, we’ll soon announce west coast dates for Batusis.
Please take a minute and VOTE for our SXSW2011 panel proposal at the Panel Picker: 
While you’re sunning yourself, here’s what we got cooking at Smog Veil: The New Hope comp reissue will be out around October 15. The New Hope comp was originally released in 1983 and featured songs from the then burgeoning Cleveland hardcore scene: The Guns, The Dark, Offbeats, Agitated, Positive Violence, Starvation Army, PPG, Outerwear, Zero Defex! The reissue features and entire LP of extra tracks plus liner notes from Tom Miller and Tom Dark. This will be limited to 500 copies on multi-color vinyl, 1 press only! Complaints Choir documentary film DVD/3CD will be out in October as well. The DVD includes lots of extras, and the CDs collect up choir songs from all the official Choirs plus 20 DIY choirs. Extensive liner notes and a unique package will make this a quick seller and interesting watch and listen.
Lastly, we’ve been working tirelessly for 3 years on our Peter Laughner archives and retrospective. The work will finally see the light of day in 2011 as the Peter Laughner LP series debuts in April on Record Store Day. Each LP in the series will feature the best possible audio quality and extensively researched liner notes including never before published photos and amazing interviews. We’ve tracked down plenty of never before heard recordings, including master reels of secret studio sessions, pristine band rehearsal recordings, and great live recordings. For example, remember that Fins 7-inch that SOL Records released a few years back? We found the master reel for the entire live gig that lent the recording for the 7-inch. It’s a barnburner for sure! The series will start, as I said in April, with the release of “The Ann Arbor Tapes”, which features Peter as well as Don Harvey, and includes some of the most poignant recordings of Peter’s best known material. More news to follow.
We’ve got plenty more thrills, chills, and surprises in store, and the best way to find out is through this newsletter and our Facebook fan page.
