These three words capture the essence of Picture Organic Clothing. This is also the story of three lifelong best friends from different backgrounds: Julien, Jeremy, and Vincent.

Since Julien, Jeremy, and Vincent simply could not resist the call of the wild, they set off to Greenland, one of the wildest, most remote places on the planet.

When Joseph Opinel designed his first pocket knife in , the French blacksmith created a tool that was as robust and functional as it was simple and beautiful.
From his workshop at the foot of the French Alps, Opinel forged a cult classic. From Picasso to the peasant workman, generations of artists, mountaineers, sailors, explorers, and farmers have carried the instantly recognizable, imminently useful Opinel knife in their pockets.
Little has changed since Rooted in history and a commitment to craftsmanship, the Opinel family still makes their knives in the Savoie region of France. So keep an eye out for the Fliers in Mid march or so. This is a great release, anyone who enjoys "art" hardcore will enjoy this.
Below you will find Label info and the bands myspace link. Sunday, September 7, Behind Trees. Sailboats, was a band from the Berkley California. In they recorded a 2-song demo and played several shows throughout California. Whats really sad about this band is that, when Touring in , they got in a traffic accident.
The demo contains 2 tracks of beautiful, angry and fact screamo. Whats interesting is they did record a LP, but as far as it says on their myspace , it will never be released. Don't sleep on this, these songs are flawless. Posted by Chris at PM 2 comments:. God Save Us! What cant be said about Disembodied? In the release "If only god knew the rest were dead". Disembodied brings the heaviest, harshest and most evilest songs you can imagine by any hardcore outfit now or 10 years ago which is when this was recorded.
With heavy metal undertones and hardcore over beats this release stands the test of time. All the while paving the way for the Nu-Metal sound. Disembodied was from Minneapolis MN, and claimed to be the heaviest band in hardcore, and clearly went way beyond that. After two releases on Ferret, a final full length on Edison Recordings and multiple US tours, Disembodied disbanded in the late 90's, later moving on to form Martyr AD. In there will be a reunion show in Chicago with the mentioned bands above although i don't believe Swing Kids are playing.
It seems as though as the 90s are coming back. But give a listen for yourself, you will want to burn down every church and kill your parents after listening to this masterpiece. Below you will find links to Ferret Music and Disembodied's Myspace. As well as a download link.

Posted by Chris at AM 2 comments:. The mighty Orchid and the timeless Jeromes Dream. This split features 4 songs by each band. The original One sided skull shaped white vinyl 10, silk screened on the flip side.
Music starts in the middle; JD tracks run to the outside, Orchid tracks to the inside of the record. Like, wow. The JD tracks are among the best they've recorded so far; manic complex screamo with some melodies; Orchid play their usual excellent Hardcore style; fast and complex but not as crazy as JD.
Another timeless emo violence release. Emotional yes, fast yes, obscure yes. This record is amazing. Below are links to both the bands myspace's. You will never, never, never, never know me. Das oath formally known as The Oath featured a member of the beloved thrash gods Charles Bronson as well as a member from the great Monster X. This installment of Das Oath, has more of a rock edge to it, while still maintaining the fast fury that early Das oath was known for.

While in mid-march to the south, 32nd Army HQ ordered Ota back into the Oroku peninsula citing that a mistake had been made in timing explanations vary.
Naval elements returned to their former positions with no heavy weapons and with about half the troops with no rifles. The Americans, who had not noticed the initial withdrawal attacked and cut off the peninsula by attacks from the north on land, and one last seaborne landing behind the Navy's positions.
Naval elements then committed suicide with whatever weapons possible, with some leading a last charge out of the cave entrances. According to the museum for the underground Naval Headquarters in Okinawa, " soldiers committed suicide" inside the command bunker, including Ota. On 11 June , the U. He was posthumously promoted to vice admiral. While the Governor should be the person to relay this report on the present condition of the Okinawa prefectural inhabitants, he has no available means of communication and the 32nd Division Headquarters appears to be thoroughly occupied with their own correspondences.
However, due to the critical situations we are in, I feel compelled to make this urgent report though it is without the Governor's consent. Since the enemy attack began, our Army and Navy has been fighting defensive battles and have not been able to tend to the people of the Prefecture.
Consequently, due to our negligence, these innocent people have lost their homes and property to enemy assault. Every man has been conscripted to partake in the defense, while women, children and elders are forced into hiding in the small underground shelters which are not tactically important or are exposed to shelling, air raids or the harsh elements of nature.
Moreover, girls have devoted themselves to nursing and cooking for the soldiers and have gone as far as to volunteer in carrying ammunition, or join in attacking the enemy. This leaves the village people vulnerable to enemy attacks where they will surely be killed.
In desperation, some parents have asked the military to protect their daughters against rape by the enemy, prepared that they may never see them again. Nurses, with wounded soldiers, wander aimlessly because the medical team had moved and left them behind.
