Slave Labia: The Columbus Dispatch

I designed the artwork for the new Slave Labia EP The Columbus Dispatch - with the help of Bernardino Luini. The packaging was printed by Shout Out Loud Prints. You can order the The Columbus Dispatch by PayPaling Tatyana Kagamas $5.00 ($3.00 for cassette plus S/H) at kagamas@gmail.com. There are more images of the tape after the jump.

Shout Out Loud Prints Mix Tape, Now Online

Pat Crann uploaded the first Shout Out Loud Prints mixtape to bandcamp.com for your streaming and downloading pleasure. Amelia, the grunge-pop band I played bass in with Maryn Jones and Ryan Starinsky, has a song on it titled "Bridges." Vile Gash, The Boy Who Could Fly, Screaming Females, Best Friends Forever, The Max Levine Ensemble, and other bands are also represented on the tape/MP3 download.

Amelia / Pheramones Split Cassette Repress

Repressssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

The Amelia / Phermones split cassette was 'repressed' a few months ago. This second edition has a beautiful blue hued cover. It was drawn by Maryn Jones and printed by Shout Out Loud Prints. I believe you can order this tape for three to four dollars from shop@shoutoutloudprints.com.

Amelia was a band I played bass in. We sounded like this.

Pheramones sounds like this.

Shout Out Loud Prints Compilation Tape

                          Tape art by Craig Dransfield of Chop Chop Gallery.

Pat Crann of Shout Out Loud Prints recently put out a tape comp in conjunction with In The Pocket Tapes (both companies are run out of The Monster House art-fraternity compound). The tape is a collection of bands, old and new, that have ordered shirts to be silk-screened from Shout Out Loud Prints. The selection is a veritable who's who of national DIY pop-punk bands in the 2000s including Defiance, Ohio, Screaming Females and Modern Machines, mixed in with local yokels like Vile Gash, Slugging Percentage, Tin Armor, Saint Seneca and my old band Amelia. Previously unreleased tracks from Paul Baribeau, Best Friends Forever, Good Luck, The Boy Who Could Fly and a Minor Threat cover by Letters To The Moon make this a rare comp worth copping. Get yours for $4ppd here.
