For all our late night Schemers…..you’ll be the first to get your dirty mitts on the new 12” from New Jersey’s very own, CUTDOWN. We can do our normal bit of sarcastic writing but honestly, it’s just a pretty good record. No bullshit, and straight to the point. What else do you need? This might be the fourth hardcore record ever that came to fruition via an unexpected email. Here is some more info to try and sell you on the record so we can keep the lights on:
CUTDOWN hangs their cloaks on the hooks of our most primeval icons of hardcore: AGNOSTIC FRONT, BREAKDOWN, and NEGATIVE APPROACH…or for dramatic effect; POISON IDEA, CITIZENS ARREST and in the words of NJ luminary Brett Beach when I tried this joke for the first time - “for fans of KORO." Uncomplicated and uncompromised hardcore from the Streets of Filth to the Jersey fuckin’ Shore… HARDCORE … TO THE GRAVE.
You know the vibes mf....we got the black uncoated jacket with a PMS spot color of the Red used on the Rat Cage version of Victim in Pain, yo. That might be a lie but we think it's close. It's also got a cool lil black n white insert.
Akin to their forefathers, we're doing this bad boy on a single-sided 12" on strictly Black vinyl. No weirdo B Side screenprint to up the price point...if STRAIGHT AHEAD can get away with selling records in a DJ Sleeve with a (gangsta) sticker, we can provide you this Specially Priced 12" for an affordable price.
For all our international brothaz and sistaz, you can grab copies (alongside other Scheme releases) via MerchPit in Germany and Quality Control in the UK:
In other Scheme goings on…….we’re also putting up a preorder for a new shirt, also known as the second greatest shirt known to man:
An illustration of an Air Max 95 and the bottom text from the cover of Strength Through Unity. What lese do you want on a shirt you fuckin idiots? Fuck u!! We also have a couple leftovers of our silly little hats for those that want them.
We emptied the gas tank on the newsletter that came out a day before this. Read that if you want to see a ridiculous amount of discussion about 25 TA LIFE. Time to continue our stories (that new show about Chimps on HBO).
Thanks for the support as always to the ones who still have the spirit and get down with what we do.
- Kyle and Albin
Gonna smoke crack and listen to this for sure thanks boys
