Should get diatribe on this

 

I think a song from Whorehouse of Representatives should get an honourable mention.

 

My band isn't against file sharing

 

Fair enough about Whorehouse but not sure how it works with their album being available for free down load on moshpit tradgedy on inimical records then

 

Disruptions!

This song's called Don't Believe...

It's 100% DIY so you know what to expect in terms of recording quality (the drums sound better if you play it louder)
We have members from local Chicago bands: Corpse Gas and Avulsion SS (defunct)

 

I've contacted Oi Polloi about this whole thing but no response as of yet.

 

Hmmm well then
I mean the first time i heard oi polloi was through illegal downloads
and after i found out that enjoyed their music i payed for albums i already had,
such as Total Resistance to the fucking system and their self titled EP.
It just comes down to punks realizing they do need to support their scene
but no one can afford to buy the entire discography of all their favorite bands
ah well, we shall see what happens

 

Totally agree that no one can afford to buy the entire discography of all bands.
Problem is, it is quite difficult to buy any here in Australia, especially some of the underground stuff or stuff that you can only get by going to gigs.
We have a shop here in Melbourne that is called Missing Link, it supports many DIY bands and distros etc, problem is they can still be very expensive.
There are of course some cheap EPs etc for sale but as soon as there is a CD involved with artwork etc, we are paying in the region of $22-28 (15-20 euro)
Trying to buy some of the stuff from Europe is also a bummer. Three or four quid for a record from the UK but by the time you add postage and do the conversion, it is still in the same price vicinity, not forgetting the extra charges for paypal or extra charges for using foreign currency on your credit card and also the security issues of not knowing who has you credit card details or the problems associated with many small distros not having the facilities to deal with credit cards.
I find myself trying to download stuff that is free from the band (that is, the band say, here take it, it's free and legal). It's usually from somewhere like myspace or last.fm etc. Trouble with this of course is that you nearly always don't get the full disc play list.
iTunes is another problem, you can't get a lot of the true DIY stuff and then other bands like anti-product, discharge that are available are still $1.69 - $2.19 (1.2-1.5 euro) per track which gets you to about $17 (12 Euro) per LP and you don't get the hard copy!

 

Contacted D-Clone from Japan....fingers crossed that they'll contribute a new track..
