Exciting and fanciful NEWS!

Hello!  I'm sitting in a coffeeshop, nursing my wounds from last night's incredible house show.  Seriously, it's a rarity when you can have 2 local bands and 2 travelling bands and they are all FANTASTIC.  Check out Welkin Dust from Chicago and Clit Fit from Austin.  They brought it hard.  Freakin Tupac covers and all.  Church Jerks and Toxic Nostalgia are the new Asheville punk style we've all been waiting for.  Things are looking up around here.  I busted out the distro and was delighted by people's positive response to it.  As a result, the Distro page has been updated and is a bit on the light side for the moment. I'll try and fix that as soon as funds and time allow.  Kensey is in the process of ordering a ton of zines, too, so soon we should have an impressive array of literature!

On to the GOOD NEWS!  After a few emails back and forth, it has been decided that we'll be releasing the cassette version of the most fantastic and inspiring debut album by ACCIDENTE from Madrid, Spain.  I love this band.  I could spout forth flowery praise and showers of adoration for at least a long paragraph, but you should really just listen for yourself.   They are touring Mexico and the southwestern US later in the summer, for those lucky to live in those areas. Me, well I might just have to take a trip to Texas and catch a show.  We could not be happier about this release, bringing punks together across entire oceans and continents is why we started this project in the first place, and we are proud and gracious to have the faith and trust of a band as excellent and exciting as Accidente.

ALSO!
The "Sounds From the Cesspool" compilation tape is nearing completion.  B. Menace finished the mastering, and we've already collected most of the badass art pieces that will make up the insert, so we hope to send it in for pressing this week.  If things go smoothly, we hope to release it in early April.  We'll let ya know!  Cesspool will strive to keep you out of the dark!

Up the punx and tons of love,
-Chris, Paddy and Kensey
