/// 05/10/13 | PLAGUES PERFECT STATE PREORDERS NOW UP!

Finally, six brand new tracks from Socal's best kept secret. Plagues have already started to make weigh playing countless shows in their area including Power Of The Riff and releasing two EP's under Irish Voodoo Records. Now they are back, with a sharpened perspective, precise execution and overall sonically more in tune with their identity. This record has taken a bit of a darker turn. Matt and Buddy have constructed a cold, calculated sound which perfectly piggybacks the trucking drums, warm thick bass tone and seething pained vocals. Creating this tone mountain called "Perfect State". Engineered and mastered by Erol "Rollie" Ulug at Bright Lights Studios (Dangers, Graf Orlock, Children Of God, Seahaven). Limited first pressing of 300. Special limited edition of 100 on Purple colored vinyl. Digital download card included.

Vinyl color options are a "first come, first served" basis. Don't sleep on it.

You can also stream the new track "Old Holds For New Constructions" via Toxicbreed's Funhouse. This track will be featured on their upcoming compilation Casa De Diversions that's set to drop May 17th. Check the link below!

/// 05/07/13 | WELCOME MERCY TIES TO THE OPERATION

Without a doubt, in any label's existence, they will strive not only to cultivate, but to maintain a loyal and thirsty audience. Within that loyalty we strive to draw equally genuine, extraordinary artists to work with. Between 2012 and the current 2013 crop that we have chosen to represent, GKL has proven to be nothing short of impeccable. Mercy Ties is not only an unbound truth on their own, but an extension of this. Please give them a warm welcome, for they are now a part of this ragtag misunderstood outfit we worked so hard to ban together.

Seattle, Washington (the Northwest in general) has always been known for straying away from "the standard" by pushing boundaries beyond belief. And why wouldn't we? As far as the "music industry" is concerned, we are geographically fucked. Our town dug deep behind miles of Douglas firs, treacherous waterways, and even deserts, are too far off in the Northwest for some bands to plan their tour around. The infrastructure and populous is not of great scale compared to metropolises such as LA, Boston or New York. So as the saying goes, one can only truly be free when they have nothing left to lose, this region has undoubtedly proven time and time again over the years that it’s not just a saying. It’s a rich tradition.

Derived from the heavy influences of Seattle’s chaotic mainstays such as Botch, Blood Brothers and Harkonen, Mercy Ties have taken what was already considered "complex structure" or "mathy" and have shot it into new altitudes, redefining what could be done when heavy, aggressive music. With what a conventional band might do in a two minute time frame, MT can do in about thirty seconds flat. Stacking unimaginable amounts of bars, measures and signatures into each song, they have created a sound matched by none, overwhelming aura of distress that nurses its structural integrity. After sinking their teeth into two split records, a handful of demo material, and hefty touring in the past couple years. MT is not ready to clean up but rather pull out good silverware and "go to work", as they say.

Mercy Ties hits the The Red Room at the end of May with engineer Paurl Walsh (Xray Press) to record their label debut EP, then its off to get mastered by the notable Carl Saff (Young Widows, Kid Crash, Pygmy Lush, Coliseum). Wowza, that was a whole of namedropping. Check the script:

/// 02/11/13 | WELCOME PLAGUES TO THE OPERATION!

In two years time, Plagues has not wasted a spare moment setting down roots to become a name in the fast moving Socali scene. Self releasing an EP and another two via Irish Voodoo Records. They have become a sleeper cell delivering a pedigree of dark, gritty hardcore that the region has become known for. Carrying on a maladjusted tradition like such outfits as Restrained and The Love Below, they run with the torch lit by their own flame of discordant measures, driving drum lines intertwined with throat-wrenched vocals spouting out discontent. Giving an overall ambiance of self-loathing and desperation, all the while turning the genre upside-down.

Now finally finding their place amongst other misfits such as Old Wounds, Convul and Burn Your Life Down. We are extremely content to have Plagues apart of this malfunction. Plagues have already begun their recording for their debut EP with Erol "Rollie" Ulug at Bright Lights Studios (Dangers, Graf Orlock, Children Of God, Seahaven).

But in the meantime enjoy this music video entitled "Nineteen" by Plagues. This is off their split with The Cold Front via Irish Voodoo Records.

DESCRIPTION
On From Where We Came..., these young bucks from New Jersey breathe new life into the crushing, exhilarating vibe once wielded by bands like Turmoil, Disembodied, Indecision, and Buried Alive. A trio consisting of bassist/vocalist Kevin Iavaroni, guitarist/vocalist Zak Kessler, and drummer Brandon Gallagher, the under-21 crew seek to revitalize the metallic hardcore scene that boomed before their time -- but this is no mere retro action, this is pure passion. "The days are getting longer, the nights are getting worse! I've tried to keep my head up, why can't I break this curse?", screams Iavaroni with all the desperation of a starved wolf, as the band launches into the album's opening track. The urgency never lets up through twelve songs, many clocking in under 2 minutes.

Divider has proven time and time again with their versatility in style and self-reliant approach to expression. "We used to be fast and loud, now we are loud and slow", as they say. And after hopping from a couple labels, self releasing a couple record 7" records they have found a hope here at GKL.
