EKGs - EKGs

 

 Remember hardcore? Before everyone was wearing hats? Using the phrase 2 stepping? Being commanded to "side to side" by a guy wearing glasses? Before ill informed zines framed by black and white brick walls? Vaping and Door Dash?

 

EKGs don't, and they don't care. Meth head goldfish attention span song lengths backed with pure hardcore velocity, EKG's provide a real deal hardcore situation that only Pittsburgh could produce. Music straight from fucking hell performed by people under the age of 40.

 Good morning fuckers. A lot of brand new shit going on. Always and all the time. Even though it don't seem like it. Something always happening. Twist playing the guitar backwards up there.

Firstly, Speed Plans is going to California, yeah that's right. March 13th - 24th. Be there. We're playing most of the bigger cities over there. A lot of people questioned why we're only playing the state of California and the answer is because to drive upwards or to the right or in any other direct would cost more money in gas but the real reason is because we want to spend 9 days in California. Very grateful for everyone who hooked us up with a gig and has given us advice on how to pursue flying on a plane to play hardcore. Only got fliers so far for 3 of the gigs so thats what I'm postin.

 

 

EKGs, Nasty Nancy, and Speed Plans are all playing Ripper or Tard Fest in Cleveland in February as well.

EKGs tape should be out by the time we play that.

 

Illiterates is playing both York and New York at the end of March. Both damn Yorks.

LP3 is right on the way.

 

God Plutonium is recording their 15 song LP TODAY, so who knows when that'll be out.

United Stare 7 song tape should be out soon too. Non-core rock n roll.

Thanks for reading.

 What's going on brothas and sistas? Does anybody read this? Someone told me in real life that they did and i couldn't believe it! A lot of gigs coming up in town this Summer 24'. Besides Speed Plans playing in Dayton July 19th with Negative Approach, all of these fliers are for gigs in Pittsburgh. Red hot goddamn summer. Skull Fest punk rock mayhem. A lot of these are at The Courts so I'm hoping it doesn't rain. On those days. 

Snarling Dogs 2nd EP coming to tape soon here. I saw them open for The Spits on 4th of July and none of the metal heads were that into it but they were great.

Speed Plans planning to tour in November. Cleveland, Milwaukee, and Chicago. Also trying to figure out a west coast tour in March for a 7" that will be coming out on a different label that more people give a shit about. Also pretty got another new 7" written.

 Illiterates got a new LP recorded that should be out this year maybe.

EKG's is a new band that got a demo coming out this year maybe.

Illiterates is going on tour again the first and second week of May.

 Seattle, Vancouver, Portland, Vernon and all that shit.

Excited to play with Alienator. Last time they played in Pittsburgh, Christian fell on the skate ramp and got a concussion before Alienator played so I had to take him to the hospital.

All I remember they were tall and bald.

What is up asshole motherfuckers? 

Illiterates is going on tour next weekend, a week before should be a good time to promote it.

Cleveland Toronto and Canada

ALSO STI\FF PRICK IS COMING ALONG TOO. They haven't played outta town much yet so here it is.

 

 ALSO 

SPEED PLANS is going on our longest tour yet. 5 shows in 4 days. 

Cinci, Lexington, Detroit, Dayton, and Cleveland.

Unfortunately, 3 of these gigs are with the embarrassingly cringe worthy Collosol Man from Chicago. But  its all good because we're playing with The Repos in Dayton which makes up for the incoming secondhand embarrassment. A matinee before the Cleveland gig.

 No drinking at the Detroit gig. I don't know why. I don't make the rules there so don't ask me about it.

Speed Plans is about to record our first ever 7 song 7" this weekend as well. Look out for that.

Illiterates has our 3rd LP recorded as well, just need to do the vocals on it.

 

Snarling Dogs LP potentially in the future. Who's to say.

Nasty Nancy's 4th EP, "Hardcore Hotel". 

Devon unleashes his will Army-of-One style on his most clear but still lo-fi tape yet.

The samples on this are better placed than ever, flowing a lot like a powerviolence record.

The songwriting has also been ramped up and briefed. 

Limited to 50
