Grave Mistake Records has provided an update on a number of forthcoming releases. Here is what the label has coming up:
I've got three brand new 7" releases expected out before winter hits ... first off is the debut 7" from Richmond's SOUTHSIDE STRANGLERS. SOUTHSIDE STRANGLERS features Kenny and Brandon from GOVERNMENT WARNING, and have been playing around Richmond nonstop for the better part of this year. We will finally be seeing their first official release next month. This EP will be a split with my good friend Dave Brown and VICIOUS CIRCLE RECORDS. Also in the works is a brand new 7" from CLOAK/DAGGER. This three song single features a cut from their upcoming LOST ART LP on JADE TREE, plus two brand new, non-LP B-sides. I am trying my hardest to have these ready in time for THE FEST at the end of this month, let's keep our fingers crossed! Finally, and I've been talking about this one for years (literally), but THE ERGS "THRASH COMPACTOR" 7" will FINALLY see the light of day. The test presses should be in next week, I MIGHT have these by THE FEST as well, but we'll see. For those that aren't familiar with this EP, or might find an ERGS record on GRAVE MISTAKE a little odd, I can assure you that this record smokes. Five blazing fast hardcore songs in about three minutes on this one-sided EP. Definitely not the standard output you woul expect from an ERGS record, but anyone familiar with the band knows that they have been known to stray from the melodic at times and have a penchant for 80s hardcore ... so this really shouldn't come as a surprise. This will be a split with FIRESTARTER RECORDS. Also in the works, hopefully for this year but definitely in the near future, will be complete discography CDs for both GOVERNMENT WARNING and WASTED TIME. The WASTED TIME CD will feature the FUTILITY 12", both EPs, and their track from NO BULLSHIT VOL. 2. The GOVERNMENT WARNING CD will be 40 songs, pretty much everything the band has recorded; both the PARANOID MESS and NO MODERATION LPs, all three 7" EPs, the song from NO BULLSHIT VOL 1, and a couple of surprises as well. The music for both of these CDs have been compiled and mastered, so it's just a matter of getting the artwork ready to go. They will both definitely happen though, and hopefully sooner than later.
