“Four-piece sonic skull fuckery from DC.”––Ian Thompson on L&T&W
It’s out. As promised, the Lions & Tigers & Whales/State Violence split 7″ released April 21, 2011. Lo-fi DC crust meets L&T&W’s raw, gritty, late ’90s style hardcore.
If you want to purchase and listen to the recently released L&T&W/State Violence split 7″, you can find it at Cricket Cemetary.
“Our first 7″ is available from me personally, at our shows and very soon through my label’s website, CricketCemetery.com. …I miss the days of waiting for a record in the mail. Or going to the record store. This band and social media don’t get along very well. Don’t get me wrong––I love the internet. I use it every day. However, I just don’t see a place for this band on Myspace. We’re not trying to get a record deal or win a music award. I suppose I’m just trying to make the process more of a scavenger hunt.”—Ian Thompson
Let the scavenger hunt begin!
From the interview I did with them earlier this year after their performance at Galaxy Hut:
TVD: Thoughts on DC’s “scene,” your band’s place in it, and how you’ve been received so far?
Ian: I’m going to choose just to keep my mouth shut on that first part, for our readers’ sakes.
Ian refuses to talk about “the scene,” but I’ll dive in.
Comment on this post with your favorite hardcore band, past or present, to win a black, clear, or glow in the dark 7″!
The winner will be chosen next Tuesday (5/17) and must have a mailing address in the continental US or Canada.
