SECTARIAN VIOLENCE/POISON PLANET Tour!

The members of SECTARIAN VIOLENCE from Sweden and the UK have mounted on planes, crossed the Atlantic, and safely landed in the US without incident. From what Nicktape tells me they'll have two days to furiously practice and prepare and then their first leg of the tour will begin on June 4th.

POISON PLANET will join the tour on June 8th in Indianapolis. In the POISON PLANET camp patches have been printed, 'Demo' 7"s have arrived from OFFSIDE RECORDS out of France, and additional t-shirts have been ordered from ARGYBARGY PRINTING. On top of that, Bearclaw just bought a modded 15 passenger van to transport PxP and both band's gear around. It looks as though we are ready for action.

This poster has one definitive error: June 14th is in NYC not New Brunswick. Otherwise everything else is close enough. We're looking forward to playing shows, sharing our ideas, and having fun on the road with SECTARIAN VIOLENCE. Thanks to anyone and everyone who has been promoting the shows or the tour as whole. We all greatly appreciate it. See you soon! -Nick

PUNX DON'T DRINK Vol II and POISON PLANET 'Boycott Everything' 12" EP Pre-Orders.

SICK FIX

Coming in June 2012!

TPR042 v/a PUNX DON'T DRINK Vol II

In 2009 THIRDxPARTY RECORDS released a compilation called PUNX DON'T DRINK to mostly great reviews. Some reviewers couldn't help but fixate on the name, but most of them seemed to recognize good hardcore punk for what it is, and didn't get bogged down in the tongue-in-cheek title of the comp.

This June will mark the return of PUNX DON'T DRINK in the form of Vol. II and I'm sure the name will rankle a few punks again but so be it. The whole point of the first PDD was to demonstrate that Straight Edge wasn't just a bunch of bro-ish elitist pricks, macho attitudes, and breakdowns to bring your dunks to eye-level to. We wanted to show that there were raging fast hardcore punk bands with something worthwhile to say remolding the image of SXE.

Three years later, the next installment is about to drop featuring a great caste of new and old SXE punk bands. PUNX DON'T DRINK Vol. II will have 2 songs each from SECTARIAN VIOLENCE, the international SXE band featuring members of COKE BUST (USA), STAY HUNGRY (SWE), and WAYFARER (UK) who just released an EP on GRAVE MISTAKE RECORDS. It will have STAB from the UK, a band that my band POISON PLANET played with and I couldn't help but feel an ideological kinship with. They play great traditional UK hardcore. SORRY EXCUSE from the midwest USA will be featured. They dropped two EP's almost back to back in late 2010/early 2011 on THIRDxPARTY RECORDS and LIFELINE RECORDS and then quieted down for a while. Their new songs are absolutely ferocious. And finally the compilation will feature SICK FIX, with their first new recorded material in 3-4 years.

Pre-order info won't drop for another couple of weeks after we get everything from the bands and ship everything off to the printers and the plant, but all of the bands have recorded and have started submitting their stuff. The goal is to have this out in early June in time for the STAB European Tour and the SECTARIAN VIOLENCE/POISON PLANET US Tour.

If you want to check out two of the tracks, there are new songs from SECTARIAN VIOLENCE and SORRY EXCUSE up now. Go check them out.

TPR040 POISON PLANET 'Boycott Everything' 12" EP

You can read about this release in full in the previous post. I just want to inform people that the 24"x36" posters are slated to arrive this week which also means that the pre-orders will be able to ship this week as well. Please pre-order so that you can get it ahead of the distros but also so we can pay some bills. Even with doing this release as a split with NOT NORMAL it has still been the single most expensive and involving release to ever come out on THIRDxPARTY and the invoices are rolling in. So please give us a hand, pre-order 'Boycott Everything' and maybe fill out your collection with any TxP releases missing from your collection. We'd really appreciate it.

POISON PLANET 'Boycott Everything' 12" EP pre-orders.

We are currently taking pre-orders for the POISON PLANET 'Boycott Everything' 12" EP. This was originally released as a 7" in Europe by REFUSE RECORDS and in an effort to get it ready for tour the band rushed the layout (I'm the guilty party actually - I rushed the layout. -Nick) Knowing that they wanted to release it in the US at a later date, plans were made to go all out on the finished product. The internal and external layouts were redesigned over several months and additional essays were written. The new lyric sheet is 11"x22" and has brand new imagery and extensive text. A screen print was designed for the B-side and the vinyl was delivered straight to ARGYBARGY PRINTINGin Buffalo, NY and Biff from BROWN SUGAR/FERAL KID RECORDS did a fantastic job screen printing them. To finish off the package a 24"x36" poster was designed and added to add to the overall value and impact of the record. This was the most involved release ever done on THIRDxPARTY and we're all very proud of it. While in the process of putting together the layout an additional poster was designed and we decided to get those printed too and everyone who orders the record will get one of those as well.

Comparisons are consistently made to early 80's Boston hardcore, early CORROSION OF CONFORMITY, THE REPOS, and with this release an emerging element of DEAD KENNEDYS influence.

1st press of 500. Black vinyl with B side screen print. 490 are screen printed with white ink. 10 are screen printed with red ink and are exclusively for the NOT NORMAL TAPES fan club subscription members.

All mailorders will come with additional POISON PLANET stickers and promo poster.

Track listing:
Liquor Flesh Trade
Boycott Everything
I Hope You Choke
Border Fences
Tidal Leveling

Listen to the full record on the POISON PLANET bandcamp.

Here are some pics from the upcoming release:
That is the front cover, screen printed B side, and front page of the lyric insert.
That's the back cover, A side, and inside of the lyric insert.
That's the back of the lyric insert and the 11"x17 promo poster.
Finally that is the design of the 24"x36" poster that will be coming with the record. This is at the printer now.

You can pre-order this record at the THIRDxPARTY Big Cartel.

In one last bit of news for today, the SORRY EXCUSE 'Listen with Prejudice' 7" EP has been repressed and is available now and SORRY EXCUSE also just gave me their trax for PUNX DON'T DRINK II and they are menacing as fuck!

POISON PLANET/SECTARIAN VIOLENCE Tour and Upcoming Releases

Its been a long while since the last update. The last POISON PLANET tour in January went really well and so did the COKE BUST tour. Coming up in June POISON PLANET and SECTARIAN VIOLENCE are touring together. For those that don't know, SECTARIAN VIOLENCE features Nicktape from COKE BUST on vocals and cast of characters from the UK and Sweden including the guys who run CARRY THE WEIGHT RECORDS and the guy who does LAW AND ORDER ZINE. They've got an EP coming out on GRAVE MISTAKE this month. The dates are already in the process of being booked and here's how its looking:

Mon June 4 - Richmond, VA (SXV only)
Tues June 5 - Raleigh, NC (SXV only)
Wed June 6 - Pittsburgh, PA (SXV only)
Thurs June 7 - Columbus, OH (SXV only)
Fri June 8 - Indianapolis, IN (BOTH BANDS START HERE)
Sat June 9 - Chicago, ILSun June 10 - Detroit, MI
Mon June 11 - Cleveland, OH
Tues June 12 - Syracuse, NY
Wed June 13 - Boston,MAThurs June 14 - New Brunswick, NJ
Fri June 15 - Baltimore, MD
Sat June 16 - Washington, DC

--------------------------------

That being said, lets talk about releases coming up. Almost a year ago now, POISON PLANET recorded the 'Boycott Everything' EP. This was released on REFUSE RECORDS in Europe in June 2011. Starting in November NOT NORMAL and THIRDxPARTY began work on the US version of the record. The US version is a 12" one sided EP with expanded and revised art, a new essay, an 11"x22" lyric sheet, a B side screen print, and a large fold out poster. It will be out in April.
Also in the early stages of preparation is v/a PUNX DON'T DRINK Vol II. I'm not going to announce the bands just yet but they are all supposed to record in the next 2-3 weeks. Hopefully this will be out in June.

Finally, in January and February we repressed POISON PLANET 'Oblivious' 7", POISON PLANET 'Undermine' 7", and COKE BUST 'Fuck Bar Culture' 7". These can be ordered directly through THIRDxPARTY, GRAVE MISTAKE, or REVHQ among others. Currently SORRY EXCUSE 'Listen With Prejudice' 7" is being repressed and should be in our hands any time now. More represses are in the works so stay tuned!

Tour & Release Updates: POISON PLANET & COKE BUST


We'll start with releases:

TPR040 POISON PLANET 'Boycott Everything' one sided 12" EP

This is at the pressing plant now. We rejected the first test presses and are waiting on the 2nd batch. This means they will not be ready for the upcoming POISON PLANET tour unfortunately. This release is a one sided LP with a screen printed B side, a poster, and of course a comprehensive insert with essays, lyrics, and explanations. This has the exact same track listing as the 'Boycott Everything' 7" EP on Refuse Records in Europe. It should be out in late January on Third Party/Not Normal.

TPR036 POISON PLANET 'Oblivious' 7" repress

The first two presses have sold out and now its time to give it a 3rd go around. POISON PLANET should hopefully have these for their upcoming tour in January.

TPR033 COKE BUST 'Fuck Bar Culture' 7" repress

The much loved and semi controversially named 'Fuck Bar Culture' 7" is being repressed again. Is this the 5th press? I don't remember. Regardless this pressing is on pink vinyl and is packaged with new covers printed at Imprint that look how the art was originally intended when it was designed by Kris Range.

--------------------------
