About Me

OUT NOW!

SURPRISE 004 | LOSER LIFE - MY HELL 12"

Euro Repress as a one-sided 12" with silkscreen art on the flip. Scheduled for February 2009. On MY HELL, the Bakersfield Four blast through 5 tracks of melodic hardcore punk a la NAKED RAYGUN, ARTICLES OF FAITH, LEATHERFACE, etc. After a handful of EPs, an LP on MAGIC BULLET and a few thousand miles worth of touring, it is clear that LOSER LIFE have mastered their Chicago meets DC by way of Bakersfield sound. With lyrics focusing on disconnection and the inability to function properly in a relationship without falling into the realm of self pity, MY HELL is perfect punk music for when the skies are cloudy and gray!!
First press will be 750 copies - 550 on black, 200 on limited white vinyl available for mailorder onlyl!
