In more recording news, post-wave rockers LENORE SYNDROME will be heading to Chicago the weekend of March 15-17 to record with Dale Meiners (Haymarket Riot, Wesley Willis, American Heritage) for the 8.5" vinyl EP we're doing. The plan is to record around 8 - 10 songs: 5 of which will appear on our release and the remainder will appear on EPs on as-yet-unnamed labels. We are also doing a very limited CD version of this release with additional goodies.
THE DREAM IS DEAD recorded their 5 song EP this weekend with Tom Roosa. They have yet to add vocals, but we expect this will be done shortly. Check back for an MP3 from this upcoming gem in the next few weeks.

ok, here's the deal.

we have been admittedly slack about updating this site, but not for lack of a good reason. we have a lot going on here, including a complete overhaul of this web site, tons of new records, tours and more. without delving too much into things, here's what you can expect from what else? records this winter / spring...

-WHAT ELSE? RECORDS 2002 CD SAMPLER - February 2002
A free 21 song CD that will be given away free with our 16 page 2002 mailorder catalog. This CD compiles unreleased tracks by Lynyrd's Innards, The Real Diego, (Young) Pioneers, Slingshot Episode, Strangers As Heroes, The Barnhills, The Causey Way, and more, as well previously released songs from our last few records & CDs. The CD will be limited to 1000 copies and will be given away by our bands at shows and on tour, and basically to anyone who asks for it, as well as free with any order though our mailorder, or for $1.00 by itself. the CD's are packaged in 5 ½" computer diskettes and include a free sticker as well.

-LYNYRD'S INNARDS 'Untitled No. 3' LP / CD - March 2002
Recorded by Eliot Dicks (Jawbox, Leatherface) and Chuck Uchida, this album stands as the Chicago trio’s best record yet. 4 chord bursts of anthemic power-pop energy, melodic breaks, and vocal hooks that showcase their knack for witty, intelligent lyrics and melodic angst, with lyrics lending themselves toward the tragic and anguished. The CD version is “enhanced” and contains an animated video for the song 'Shitman The Robot', while the LP version is pressed on heavy 140 gram vinyl.

LENORE SYNDROME 8.5" vinyl EP - May 2002
Yes you read correctly- this is an 8.5" record. Described by one reviewer as "menacing electro-glam with a neo-new wave/post screamo influence. Definitely in the vein of Milemarker, The “New” Terror Class, and the VSS." Artwork for this record is being done by Andrew of LE SHOK.

THE DREAM IS DEAD 12" vinyl / CD - June 2002
Featuring ex-members of Burn It Down, Harakiri, and Sutek Conspiracy, THE DREAM IS DEAD play non-stop hardcore, with constant and politically charged vocals. There are no attempts at vocal melodies or acoustic breakdowns. giving them an edge above most of the stop/start “hardcore” bands out today. The vinyl version will be a limited one-sided 12", with artwork silkscreened on the flip side.

and later on...

EARLY DAY MINERS 10" vinyl EP

SWEARING AT MOTORISTS / OHIO CASKET split FIGURITAS series 7"
