This is my favorite song on Joyce Manor’s “Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired” album, and they were gracious enough to let me remix this into a sludgy, desolate mess. Word up.

Bob remixed a song from Joyce Manor’s new album. What’s the verdict, kiddies? Good? Very good?

JOYCE MANOR dropped by the Asian Man garage the other day!

Plus: Bonus Bob

Brutal is the best description for this band. PRIMARY features members of GNARBOOTS, SHINOBU, and THE PILLOWFIGHTS. All members grew up going to Mormon school and this is them playing crusty hardcore versions of the songs they learned in school.

The 7” is called “ARMY OF HELAMAN” and it comes on random colored vinyl. We made 500 and it’s a one time pressing that will be sure to go down as a cult classic.

Also up for pre-order is the HARD GIRLS/KUDROW split 7”, “Boo”!!! HARD GIRLS are from San Jose, California and KUDROW is from Brooklyn, New York. There will be 400 of these records pressed, and there will NOT be another repress! Pre-order the record HERE.

Here is the current list of bands that have confirmed so far…

MU330, SLOW GHERKIN, THE QUEERS, THE APERS, SHINOBU, THE HOT TODDIES, THE WILD, MONKEY, SHORT ROUND, KEVIN SECONDS, BUCK-O-NINE, UNSTEADY, GRANT OLNEY, READY THE JET, MIKE HALE, CLASSICS OF LOVE, THE SAINTE CATHERINES, O PIONEERS!!!, PTERADON, HARD GIRLS, DAN POTTHAST, BOMB THE MUSIC INDUSTRY!, LAURA STEVENSON, MIKEY ERG, BAGHEERA, BRENDAN KELLY, TOYS THAT KILL, FOR.THE.WIN., THE CHINKEES, ANDREW JACKSON JIHAD, THE LAWRENCE ARMS, SUNDOWNER, SLAPSTICK, KEPI GHOULIE, SPRAYNARD, RATASUCIA

It would probably be a good idea to bookmark this post until an official one gets up on the Asian Man site. This list will be updated frequently as soon we get the word. We’ll keep you posted!

THE QUEERS, THE APERS, SHINOBU, THE HOT TODDIES, THE WILD, and MONKEY will be joining MU330 and SLOW GHERKIN this June!
