There's limited vinyl available of both releases while stocks last!


• Posted on 2010-11-15 21:34:31I've added the first comic books... The german edition of THE WALKING DEAD. The US trades will follow, as well as choice VERTIGO paperbacks. If you want to see anything in particular, drop me a line- chances are that I can get it for you.


• Posted on 2010-09-30 00:07:29The mailorder is updated as soon as new records are in... check out "Latest Additions" for details!


• Posted on 2010-07-17 20:35:59

The new update is done!
Probably the biggest news is that the reissue of the amazing PUNCH LP just came out on Assault Records. After the ANOTHER BREATH LP ran into massive delays, I never expected this to be here that quickly. I have some limited vinyl and the band will have copies on tour with them, so make sure you go and see them.
Both bands will play FLUFF FESTIVAL as well, a visit is mandatory. I know it's a long-ass drive, but it's an amazing festival and an inspiring experience.
On to the update... there are a bunch of new records from Bridge Nine, Deathwish and Deranged. Most come highly recommended, but I guess you don't need me to tell you how cool the new CEREMONY LP is and how essential the UNDERDOG discography. Then there's the new EFFORT LP, a long overdue reissue of the amazing first LP from DANGERS, new releases from UNION TOWN and THIS IS HELL and tons more.
John Joseph tells you why "Meat Is For Pussies", but that is just one of several new books, including a huge TOUCH & GO Book (so awesome).
Thanks for your continued support, it means a lot to me!

• Posted on 2010-01-28 20:39:41The first update of 2010 is finally done, and judging by the quality of the included records, the year definitely starts with a bang.
Of course there's new BANE vinyl (and don't forget to pick up a copy of the AT BOTH ENDS Fanzine that comes with a 2xEP compilation featuring two more exclusive BANE songs), the last ever CURSED EP, new vinyl from BLACKLISTED, the new DANGERS LP and the vinyl version of the first CARRIER album.
I've also managed to get my hands on copies of the incredible REMISSION LP (get this if you like Verbal Assault), and the elusive MEMORIAL LP (ex-Renee Heartfelt). There are even first press copies of the NAZI DUST EP and the AEROSOLS LP coming in- both sold out within hours from YOUTH ATTACK and I don't expect them to last long with me either.
Deathwish has finally reissued 'Death Knows Your Name' by THE HOPE CONSPIRACY, and ORGANIZED CRIME has a bunch of INTEGRITY reissues coming up, starting with their very first EP 'In Contrast Of Sin'. But the RORSCHACH 2xLP set and the reissue of the first STICKS & STONES EP are my personal favorites.
Check out the mailorder section below, and you'll see that these are only the tip of the iceberg.
I've also listed the upcoming 'SOBER LIVING FOR THE REVOLUTION' Book, which will be out soon. If you're interested in getting a copy, let me know!

But there's no light without shadow and the ANOTHER BREATH LP certainly provides enough of the dark stuff. Yes, the record still isn't out. We're at the third set of tests and it looks like the Covers will be redone as well.. Murphy's Law is in full effect here- everything that can go wrong has gone wrong. Still, we're on the case and hope to have the records at some point.
Thanks to all of you who preordered the record (preorder version is sold out now)- I'm deeply sorry about the delay and I'm confident that the record'll be out soon, so keep your fingers crossed (but don't hold your breath waiting).
Expect some Assault Records news once the LP is finally out!

Thanks for making XsentientX and Assault last another year, your support is appreciated! A perfect new year to all of you!
XJanX.


• Posted on 2009-11-30 14:20:54It's been a while since the last update and a lot has happened.
Portugal was awesome, I wish I could've stayed longer. I miss the sun and the food, but most importantly my friends down there, it was truly special.
The final DAY OF THE DEAD show saw them going out in style. We did a cool looking 'last show' Unbroken rip-off cover for 'Perspectives' and had special editions of 'A New Healing Process' as well. I should have leftovers soon- if anyone is interested in getting a copy, drop me a line.

The final issue of AT BOTH ENDS Fanzine is out and shippinig my way soon. It's a big-ass fanzine and it comes with a 2xEP compilation that has new tracks from BANE, GRADE (no kidding), UNRESTRAINED and BETWEEN EARTH AND SKY (members of TRIAL). I'll get a bunch of copies and some exclusive vinyl colors, I'm told. I will have copies for wholesale as well, so if you'd like to pick up a few for your mailorder/distro, let me know.
If you want yet more reading material, look no further than EVERYBODY'S SCENE: The Story Of Connecticut's Anthrax Club. A 208 page book about the history of the famous Anthrax club, filled with old pics, flyers and a fascinating look at the legendary venue.

Of course there are tons of cool records as well. New releases from CONVERGE and RISE & FALL lead the pack, with new records from FORFEIT, OUTBREAK and DEFEATER following closely.
There are two new EP's from BANE and another two on the horizon (they should be here this december)! I also feel the need to mention the GIVE LP, because it's awesome if you're into rocking emo/post hardcore. If that's your cup of tea, make sure to check these guys out.
Bridge Nine has rereleased both the 'United Blood' EP and the 'Victim In Pain' LP from AGNOSTIC FRONT, and they're still as powerful as ever.
Thanks to Dom and A389, 'The Promise' from RINGWORM gets a welcome reissue as well. Far ahead of its time, this LP is a prefect example of the darker Clevo sound in the INTEGRITY vein.
But the cream of the crop is definitely the FINAL EXIT discography. It's basically the guys from REFUSED switching intruments and playing fast as fuck straight edge hardcore. Apart from an EP on Third Party, they've never released any vinyl, and both their records ('Teg' and 'Umea'), were only available on CD- until today. 43 tracks on two LP's and there's a DVD as well! I'm gonna order these once, because they are pricey, so if you'd like to get a copy, order now!

According to Aram, the CARRY ON vinyl is shipping first thing next week, so it should be here eventually. The entire press was faulty and had to be redone, hence the delay.
Thanks to a helping hand from the band, the BROTHERS - Tragedy EP/MCD is now finally in stock. Those guys paid the US label (I did the record with) a visit and sent everything my way. After 12 months, it's good to finally have this record in my hands. It's a worthy follow-up to 'Black Friday', but not just more of the same... hear for yourself.
But there are sad news as well. ANOTHER BREATH had to cancel their european tour, which was quite a blow. I've been looking forward to see the guys again.
Still, 'God Complex', their new LP, is at the plant and should be out mid-december. It's probably their best record yet, and I've made sure to make it one of the best looking Assault releases ever. Preorders are up at www.assaultrecords.com, but of course, you could just order a copy with your regular order.

One of these days, you'll be greeted by a relaunched page which'll allow you to order online...yay!
Wait for it, but don't hold your breath.
I guess that's about it for now.

As always, thanks for your support and friendship over the years, it means more to me that you'll ever know.
XJanX.

• Posted on 2009-10-02 13:14:37Things are busy here, because I'm getting ready to leave for a 10-day trip to Portugal. Good friends and Assault alumni DAY OF THE DEAD will play their final show october 10th at the TIME OUT CAFE in Montijo down there. Their friends FOR THE GLORY and ADORNO are playing as well, so it'll be a night to remember for sure. Hopefully, there'll be no blood, but sweat and tears will flow. Last show shirts and limited vinyl will be for sale at the show as well.
I'm leaving october 3rd, so orders won't ship (unfortunately) until I'm back. But there's an upside to this, as new records from STRIKE ANYWHERE, DOOMRIDERS and hopefully CARRY ON will be in stock once I return. If you want to order, please do so as soon as possible, so I can make sure to have enough copies of everything once I return and can start shipping immediately.
I'm also hoping to have the vinyl version of 'Saviour' from OUTRAGE and the I REFUSE LP in stock soon. But even without these two, this update has more than enough interesting releases.
New (and little older) records from YOUTH ATTACK RECORDS, DEATHWISH, BRIDGE NINE and CRUCIAL RESPONSE, a CITIZENS ARREST Discography and tons more are waiting to be discovered.

Unfortunately, there are still no news concerning the BROTHERS EP, it's like a neverending nightmare.
Preorders for the upcoming ANOTHER BREATH LP should be up sometime next month, keep your fingers crossed. I have two more releases planned before the end of the year, more on both soon.
For now though, check out the news and go wild. With new releases coming up, your support is more crucial than ever. Thanks for sticking with XSentientX, I appreciate it more than you'll ever know.

Hardcore rules.

• Posted on 2009-08-16 22:17:28The new mailorder update is finally online!
Highlights of this update include a limited split EP from DOUBLE NEGATIVE, new vinyl from NARROWS and REIGN SUPREME, as well as new records from THE HOPE CONSPIRACY, IRON AGE and ANCHOR.

In other news, BYO Records are poised to release 'LET THEM KNOW - The Story Of Youth Brigade and BYO Records' this fall. It's an impressive package that not only incldes a 90 minute documentary, but a double LP and a coffee table photo book as well. SRP for the package is $49.99, and I'm only ordering them for people who preorder. So let me know if you'd like to reserve a copy.

No news concerning the BROTHERS - Tragedy EP/MCD yet (it'll be here one day), but we're hard at work on our next release, the new ANOTHER BREATH record (yes!). It's called 'God Complex' and it's easily their most mature (and arguably best) material to date. Preorders will be up soon and of course you'll be the first to know!

As always, a heartfelt THANKS for all your support, it means a lot to me and I'm indebted to you all for making this possible.
Hardcore for life,
XJanX.


• Posted on 2009-06-17 23:52:28It's raining again, just the right weather to update the page. Lots of new records are in stock, just check out the 'news' section. Vinyl from UNDERTOW, TRUE COLORS and EARTH CRISIS, the awesome LAST LIGHTS LP, the BURNING FIGHT Book and many more can be found below.
The BROTHERS EP is apparently out now, but I'm still waiting to get my copies. It can't be much longer now, keep your fingers crossed.
Most records are in stock or in transit (should be in stock any day now), but there are some that won't be in for another 10-14 days. Since that includes the incredible new record from THE GOLDEN AGE, I've added some of them anyway in case you don't want to wait until the next update:
Also out in june:
AYS new EP (Cobra)
CURBBITE - s/t EP (BreakXOut)
DAY OF MOURNING - Your Future’s End LP (A389)
FAILURES - s/t EP (Painkiller)
KEEP IT CLEAR - s/t EP (Not Just Words)
MOTHER OF MERCY - III LP (Six Feet Under)
OBLITERATION - This Is Tomorrow EP (Nita/DSP)
OVERSTAND/SIRENS split EP (Cobra)
ROT IN HELL - Hallways Of The Always LP (A389)

Indecision Records has announced a second press of the Unbroken 3xLP box set, which should be available after the summer. I'll definitely have copies for the mailorder, and if you want to make sure to get one, drop me a line and let me know, so I can make sure to get enough copies.
As always, thanks for your continued support, it's truly appreciated!

Take care,
XJanX.


• Posted on 2009-04-20 11:42:26Welcome to another XsentientX update!
It's a big one with tons of cool records (in my opinion), but the new ASSAULT releases are especially dear to me.
The new JUST WENT BLACK EP is out now, and so is the DAY OF THE DEAD LP. Both came out beautifully, and we still have colored vinyl available of each. I also have the first bunch of the 'Fathers & Sons' LP from AT HALF-MAST.
The TALL SHIPS LP will be here next week, so order away!
Preorders (and package deals) are still up at
www.assaultrecords.com, but of course you can order from www.XsentientX.com as well.
Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for the BROTHERS EP is further delayed. I promise that it'll be here eventually. Just don't hold your breath waiting. I'll keep you posted.

Check out the 'news' section for new records from RITUAL, ON, FUCKED UP, IDLE HANDS, LIMP WRIST and PULLING TEETH amongst others!

Due to the label activities, our finances are seriously depleted right now, so your support is more important than ever!
I can't do this without you and I appreciate your help!

Take care.

• Posted on 2009-01-08 00:00:00Welcome to the first XsentientX-update in 2009- and it's a big one!

It looks like 2009 will be a good year (again) for hardcore. Vinyl versions of discographies from MOUTHPIECE, UNBROKEN and UNDERTOW are in the works, to coincidence with the release of the BURNING FIGHT book (can't wait!), and that is just the beginning.
Expect new records from GOVERNMENT WARNING, JUST WENT BLACK and THE EFFORT amongst others. Speaking of THE EFFORT, they're on tour right now, make sure to check them out!

In the news section you'll find new records from bands like THE EFFORT, DEATH IS NOT GLAMOROUS, MIND ERASER and SOUL CONTROL and labels like Youngblood, Painkiller, React! and Words of War. Add to that the vinyl release of the ONE LAST WISH LP (and a bunch of classic reissues) on Dischord and lots of restocks, it should be impossible (hopefully) to leave empty-handed.

The WOLF WHISTLE records are in now, but the ADULT CRASH books have been delayed and are expected late january at this point. There are a few more records coming in mid/late january (like the MINDSET EP), but since I'm far away from weekly updates, I've added them anyway. I'm thinking of ways to inform you about new records more regulary (maybe a blog) in the future!

After lying low for a few month, 2009 will be a busy year for Assault Records.
There are no news about the BROTHERS EP right now, as I'm unable to contact the US label (Saw Her Ghost) in charge of production. Hopefully all this'll end good- I'll keep you posted. But the ill-fated BROTHERS EP isn't the only record in the works here at Assault HQ.
I have everything in hand for the TALL SHIPS - Voyages LP and it's off to the plant next week. Expect passionate modern hardcore.
The vinyl version of the AT HALF-MAST - Fathers And Sons LP will be at the plant soon after. This is a split release with our good friends at Goodwill Records.
I'm also happy to announce the new DAY OF THE DEAD LP. It's called 'Perspectives' and sounds (and looks) amazing. Once I have all the artwork in my hands it's off to the plant as well.
An EP called 'Crossroads' is the last of the new releases. This is the follow-up to 'Embracing Emptiness' and the band is called JUST WENT BLACK.
Expect preorders for all these sometime in january, along with overdue updates of the Assault pages.

Thanks for all your help and support of XsentientX and ASSAULT RECORDS- you make all this possible, and I'm thankful for that!
Let's keep hardcore passionate and DIY- it can be done!
All The best for 2009,

XJanX.


• Posted on 2008-11-06 00:00:00Welcome to another late night XsentientX update!
For some reason the Euro has lost value against the US Dollar, which is unfortunate for record imports. Let's hope that this is just temporary.
I have a few copies left of the mighty RADIO SILENCE book, pretty much essential reading. November will see the release of ADULT CRASH, a photo book that includes short essays and a 7inch compilation. Reserve your copy now!

Of course there are new records as well. Apart from the obvious (the new FUCKED UP 2xLP rocks), there's a slew of smaller releases that deserve your attention. BLACK MARK, SAKES ALIVE! and REBUILT are just a few that come to mind right now.
After delays too numerous to mention, the RIGHT IDEA 12inch is here as well, as is a live EP from the almighty UNDERDOG. Check out the news below for more details on those and lots more!

No news yet on the BROTHERS EP/MCD, hopefully in the next update.
More Assault releases are in the works and will be announced shortly, and you'll be the first to know!

Thanks for your continued support, it means a lot to me!
Go vegan,
XJanX


• Posted on 2008-09-05 00:00:00It certainly seems like the summer is gone already- the wind is picking up and temperatures are dropping. A perfect time for another update, because when it comes to hardcore, this fall is far from disappointing.
There's a steady stream of new releases, lead by awesome euro bands (VOGUE, RHYTHM TO THE MADNESS, BALANCE and COMMON CAUSE), new records from established bands like CEREMONY, BITTER END, I RISE, VIOLATION and TRASH TALK and releases by new bands like CHEAP TRAGEDIES, TROUBLEMAKER and RAH!.
There's lots more to be discovered in the NEWS section, so take a few minutes to check it out.

There are even news on the cursed RIGHT IDEA vinyl. Straight from the horses' mouth:
'After three sets of rejected test presses, two different masters being made, screwed up covers, plant and shipping delays, and many sleepless nights we’re excited to announce that we’re FINALLY ready to ship the Right Idea pre-orders and all of the REACT! merch orders. Orders start shipping early next week (september 8-12).'
So hopefully, the vinyl will finally be in stock in later this month.

A few records are en route as I write this, but everything should be in stock by the end of next week, so order with confidence. I'll do my best to ship everything as soon as possible and I'm sorry for any delays you might've experienced. No matter how hard I try, I can't avoid the occasional bump in the road.

ASSAULT RECORDS has a new BROTHERS 7inch/CD coming up next, preorders will be up soon and you'll be the first to know. A split release with SAW HER GHOST RECORDS, it'll be a limited pressing and we couldn't be more excited. We're working on a few records beyond that, so look out for more label news soon!

COUNTING THE DAYS are still on tour with RUINER. They have tour versions for 'Finding A Balance' and their split EP with HOLLYWOOD with them, so go out and support both bands. They're intense and passionate and even have Pizza tattoos!
Here are the remaining tour dates:

04.09.2008 Netherlands Eindhoven Kafee Aloys
05.09.2008 Germany Essen Cafe Nova
06.09.2008 Belgium Olen Skatefest
07.09.2008 Gemany Stuttgart Juha West
08.09.2008 Czech Republic Prag
09.09.2008 Austria Wien Arena
10.09.2008 Germany München Sunny Red
11.09.2008 Germany Hamburg Hafenklang
12.09.2008 Sweden Linköping Deadfest
13.09.2008 Germany Bremen G18 (and JUST WENT BLACK)
15.09.2008 UK Barnsley The Arches
16.09.2008 UK Newcastle Cooperage
18.09.2008 UK Norwich Queen Charlotte
19.09.2008 Germany Giessen MUK
20.09.2008 Germany Selb JUZ

I guess this pretty much wraps things up. Look for new records from FUCKED UP, MIND ERASER, FIRED UP, NEVER HEALED and more in the next update.
Also, if you can't find what you're looking for, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

As always, thanks for supporting XsentientX, I truly appreciate it!
Take care,
XJanX.


• Posted on 2008-07-21 00:00:00The new HAVE HEART LP (Songs To Scream At The Sun) is shipping, a good reason as any for another update.
Easily the most anticipated Hardcore record this summer, the follow-up to 'The Things We Carry' doesn't disappoint. Make sure to catch the band on tour with VERSE!
Speaking of tours, RUINER will be back in europe and they're bringing COUNTING THE DAYS along with them. Needless to say, we at XsentientX/Assault are pretty excited about this. Make sure to check them out at a venue near you:

22.08.2008 Belgium Ieper Ieperfest
23.08.2008 Germany Hohenstein Voice Of Art Festival
26.08.2008 Switzerland Luzern Sedel
27.08.2008 France Toulouse Caravan Serail
30.08.2008 Portugal Albufeira Moonspell Bar
31.08.2008 Portugal Linda-a-Velha Academia
03.09.2008 France Dijon Les Tanneries
04.09.2008 Netherlands Eindhoven Kafee Aloys
05.09.2008 Germany Essen Cafe Nova
06.09.2008 Belgium Olen Skatefest
07.09.2008 Gemany Stuttgart Juha West
08.09.2008 Czech Republic Prag
09.09.2008 Austria Wien Arena
10.09.2008 Germany München Sunny Red

18.09.2008 UK Norwich Queen Charlotte
19.09.2008 Germany Giessen MUK
20.09.2008 Germany Selb JUZ

I still have limited edition color vinyl left of the COUNTING THE DAYS LP, plus there'll be a tour version as well (only available at shows)!

There are many new records worthy of your attention apart from the Have Heart LP. The vinyl version of the CAPITAL - Homefront LP comes highly recommended as does the WORMEATERS 7


• Posted on 2008-06-06 00:00:00It's been a while since the last update, I know.
I've been waiting for the new VERSE and KILLING THE DREAM LP's, easily the most anticipated records this summer (apart from the upcoming HAVE HEART LP), but it looks like both ran into delays because the pressing plant is backed up. They should be out sometime in june, but there isn't a definite release date yet. I'll have copies as soon as they're out (along with the RIGHT IDEA 12


• Posted on 2008-04-17 00:00:00It's about time for another update, eventhough there are still records I wish I could've included. Not in this update, but here soon:

COPTIC TIMES EP and the new POLICE & THIEVES EP on Youngblood Records (both will ship may 5th), DISNIHIL - s/t 12inch (awesome D-Beat HC), NO GOAL - Vital EP, ON - Vital Times EP (amazing SXE HC) and two new AT HALF-MAST split singles (one with VALUES INTACT, the other with TO THE EMBERS).

The BREAK THROUGH demo EP (including a previously unreleased track) on REACT! Records ran into delays, so the RIGHT IDEA EP will be out next. I'll have copies of both as soon as they're available. Next month will also see the release of a new VERSE EP as a teaser for their upcoming LP (can't wait!).
Still, even without those, the news section is filled with a rich selection of hardcore vinyl. Apart from the new BLACKLISTED LP and the LET DOWN LP, there's the EFFORT debut LP, which is simply amazing. New vinyl from COUNTING THE DAYS, DARVOCETS and RESONANCE, not to mention the REMAIN LP (finally) make sure there's no slack and LPs from MAKE IT COUNT, MORE THAN EVER and AYS are proof that the german scene is alive and kicking.

Some of you had to wait a little longer than usual to get their last order and I'm sorry about that. Not every record is in physically on hand when the update goes out, so there's always the possibility of delays.
Things usually work out just fine, not so this time. The new EMPTY VISION EP still isn't here yet, and the DEAD TIRED records failed to materialize as well. They'll be in stock eventually, but it seems that adding them to the last update was a bit premature.
Sorry for the wait, I hope it'll be worth it once you get the records.
Unfortunately, the post office is on strike again right now, so delays might not be a thing of the past just yet.

XsentientX is still pretty much a one-man show, but I'll do my best to get back to all of you in a timely fashion and I WILL get back to you.
I appreciate your support, especially from those of you who always wait for our not-so-regular updates in order to make sure that XsentientX will be around for a long time. THANK YOU!
Be excellent to each other,
XJanX.


• Posted on 2008-02-21 00:00:00I love to get new records, the excitement of checking out new bands or the anticipation towards new tracks from old favorites.
The latest mailorder update has both. New releases from EMPTY VISION, LIFE LONG TRAGEDY, THE FIRST STEP, THIS IS HELL and PAINT IT BLACK are definitely worth celebrating. New bands like CIRCLES, FORFEIT, RESIST and FOUNDATION are to be discovered and there are some awesome hardcore punk records (PRESS GANG LP, new releases from NO WAY RECORDS and P.TRASH).
If you prefer to cuddle up with a good book, try the John Joseph biography 'The Evolution Of A Cro-Magnon' on for size or get one of the last ever copies of the amazing FLEX! book.
In short, I hope that you're as pleased with the contents of this update as I am!
There are new ASSAULT releases in the works, more on those next time.
Talk is cheap, so go ahead and check out the news section!
As always, THANKS for your continued support, there would be no XsentientX without you!
XJanX.
Listen to STATUE.


• Posted on 2008-01-13 00:00:00A happy new year to all of you!

Welcome to the first update in 2008. Judging from the new and especially the upcoming release, 2008 won't disappoint.
XsentientX will be there for your vinyl needs throughout- we'll continue to bring you all the crucial hardcore vinyl releases.
Check out the 'news' section below for proof: There's the limited GET THE MOST demo ep, as well as the exclusive SIRENS bonus single, copies of the TOWN OF HARDCORE fanzine book with the bonus EP and the sold out TRIPLE THREAT live ep. And that's just the tip of the iceberg!

Upcoming records include the CIVIL TERROR LP, scheluded to ship early february, as well as the new LIFE LONG TRAGEDY LP and more (RZL DZL anyone?).
I'm down to the last few copies of the limited BROTHERS vinyl.
The FLEX books sold out.

As always, thanks for your continued support and occasionally patience!
Stay angry,
XJanX.


• Posted on 2007-11-29 00:00:00This'll most likely be the last update for 2007.
It has been a good year for XSENTIENTX and ASSAULT RECORDS- thanks to all of you. I might not have a flashy webpage, shopping carts or even pictures of the records I'm selling, but I'm lucky to have your support.
The mailorder and label are still as DIY as ever, taking up all my spare time. Being able to do this, to be a part of this scene means a lot to me and YOU made it all possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
If you'd like to know more about XSentientX, Assault Records and myself, I recommend getting your hands on a copy of AWAKE FANZINE #2, which has an interview with yours truly (Thanks Tim!)

The BROTHERS - 'Black Friday' LP came in last week and feedback has been nothing but positive so far. Do yourself (and me) a favor and check these guys out, you won't be disappointed: www.myspace.com/corebrothers
I still have a few copies left of the limited edition (pictures are up on the Assault myspace page), so hurry up if you don't want to miss out!

The JUST WENT BLACK shirts are in now as well. Black shirts with an awesome URBAN WASTE rip-off design, available in all sizes. There aren't too many of these and I'm pretty sure that they'll be limited to the initial print run. Of course the band'll have copies for sale at their next few shows as well, but I expect these to go quick.
We also did our first ever ASSAULT RECORDS shirt. The design is very simple, but stylish because of that. The front just reads 'got passion?' (inspired by the 'got milk' ad campaign), the back has the Assault logo in the neck. Shirts are printed with white ink on black shirts. We've only made a handful of these, and they'll be gone soon.
The new FLEX book will be in stock this week, thanks for those of you who preordered, just metion the preorder with your order and you're taken care of. 2/3 of the print run are gone already, so if you're on the fence about wether or not to buy the book, shit or get off the pot, because these will be gone in a matter of days, only to be found on ebay.

December 8th will see the release of the new BLACK FRIDAY 29 LP, and the DOWN & OUTS LP on Dead & Gone Records and I'll have copies of both soon after. Feel free to add either to your order, if you don't mind the wait, but want to be the first on your block to have the records.

I have a bunch of second hand records and rarities and I'm planning to send out a special update once I've typed everything in, so be on the lookout for that (but don't hold your breath waiting).

All the best for 2008 and thanks for your support so far!

Take care,
XJanX.

The extra time helped it grow to become the huge beast you see below. Exciting vinyl releases no matter what kind of hardcore you prefere (emo kids excluded), so check out the mailorder section.

I'm stoked as hell to announce that preorders are up now for the latest ASSAULT release:
BROTHERS - 'Black Friday' LP
Eleven tracks of modern hardcore and nothing less than the perfect mix of brutality, energy, and melody! Do yourself a favour and give them a listen:http://www.myspace.com/corebrothers
I've made 3-song promo CDs as well, just give the word and I'll add a copy to your order.
The record is at the plant right now and should be out late october. There'll be a limited preorder color, so don't sleep on this!

I have new shirts coming soon as well:
First up is the first JUST WENT BLACK shirt from Assault Records. They're two-sided black shirts printed with white ink. The front has a sweet URBAN WASTE rip-off logo and the back has the Assault Records logo in the neck.
While you're at it, pick up the first ever ASSAULT Records shirt as well. The front of the black shirt simply reads
