KNIFE014: Balaclavas 12" limited to 103 + sale

[dull knife]

Hey everyone, it's been a bit. This update is to announce the last
dull knife release of 2009, a sale, and the brand new design of
http://www.dullkniferecords.com.

The new record is the second record in our series of 100 (103, to be
exact in this instance) press records available only to you mailing
list folks. It's a reissue of sorts of the debut recording from
Houston, TX's Balaclavas on 12". The recording was originally
released three years ago on a handful of cd-r's given to friends,
later as a cassettem, but finally gets an official release with this
12".

The band plays dark, melodic post punk with a strong Public Image
Ltd. and Can feel to the rhythm. The record also got some saxophone
overdubs from Houston legend Ralph Armin of Culturcide, Really Red,
and the Pain Teens (and the Rusted Shut strip club show, if you ever
saw that).

The record is also meant as a teaser of sorts for the debut
Balaclavas LP, which dull knife will be releasing in a couple of
months. The new material is leaps and bounds above these early
recordings, but they are still excellent songs that needed to be
documented and I think you will like them. I'm really excited to have
the opportunity to work with another Houston band that I feel deserves
national recognition.

The record is $16.00 plus postage. I kept the price as low as I
could considering the extremely limited quantity--only 80 copies are
available to the public. You can listen to a sound sample and order it
here: http://www.dullkniferecords.com/releases/14-knife014

You can also listen to two tracks from the upcoming Balaclavas LP at

I am also having a sale until the ened of the month to clear out the
last handful of copies of in print dull knife titles. I have limited
quantities of 4 titles left, and they're priced to move to make space
for the releases about to come out. 7"s are priced at just $2 plus
postage, and 12"s are just $5.50 plus postage.

Now on to the new re-designed dullkniferecords.com. Not only is the
new site very sleek, simple to navigate,and easy on the eyes, but you
will also now find that the shopping cart features shipping rates.
This will really help you save on shipping when ordering multiple
record, and is particularly helpful to you international buyers.

See you in 2010 and thanks for the support!
