Wino – A Bottle of Pills… CD

I may be late to the party on this one, but people are still dancing. And Benton told me to post this.
Wino CD cover
At two hours in length, A Bottle Of Pills With A Bullet Chaser compiles every song ever recorded by Wino. In addition to the many singles and lone album, the set includes six previously unreleased tracks, plus the live track “Dogs,” recorded during one of their final live performances. Largely inspired by Swans, Crain and the Amphetamine Reptile roster, Wino were one of the loudest, darkest and most eclectic bands in Louisville during the 1990s, and their influence can be heard today in loads of Louisville bands. Expertly digitally remastered from all of the original master tapes by Alan Douches at West West Side Music (Converge, High On Fire), A Bottle Of Pills With A Bullet Chaser is the perfect commemoration to the band that inspired dozens of later Louisville bands and helped launch Temporary Residence a dozen years ago.
Buy this 2x CD at Temporary Residence’s site or presumably Ear X-Tacy.

Rattletooth signs to Chicago’s Organized Crime Records

“We have officially signed to Organized Crime Records. This has been in the works for what seems like forever and we’re beyond excited to make it official and announce the news. Our debut 7” record entitled “Curses” will be released in January 2009. It was recorded with Chris Owens at Headbanging Kill Your Mama Music in Louisville, KY in August 2008.
With the start of our weekends we’re planning, in November we will be putting up a new song just in time for our trip to Tennessee and Alabama. We have some more weekends planned in December and January that will see us visiting the Mid-west.
For now, you can enjoy our demo we recorded almost a year ago. There’s a link to download it free on our myspace http://www.myspace.com/rattletooth
Thanks!
-Nate/Rattletooth”
