State of Mind Announces Kill Your Idols Tribute 7″ Series
A number of Kill Your Idols inspired friends and fans have gathered together to pay tribute to the band. This is a four part series titled Epilogue with all KYI cover tracks. Each volume is going to be strictly limited to one pressing. This is going to be unique and every volume will include something extra in the packaging. Each cover will be a section of the skull, collect all four to put the big picture together.You can’t imagine how much doing this release means to State of Mind Records. Listening to and seeing KYI was a large part of growing up and still inspires us to this very day. There is a diverse bunch of bands compiled on this as we thought that made sense since KYI had played with a diverse number of bands themselves. These bands aren’t just doing this to be on a seven inch comp, they legitimately love KYI (most have a member with the Skull tattoo). If you see any of them playing there is a good chance they will play the song they covered. So put on some Kill Your Idols and get pumped!

World View Demo II from Bad Seed out on Control Records
Control Records is proud to present the one off vinyl press of this highly acclaimed demo, again a limited pressing, 100 orange wax for mailorders only, 400 black wax. Both colors are available to order in the Control webstore from tomorrow on, 19 october 2010 - 20:00 Central European Standard Time. Also a Bad Seed shirt design will be available to order and we still have a very limited amount of True Colors EPs and Control Straight Edge shirt designs left so act quick!Wilkes-Barre, PA may not have the near mythical historical appeal of New York or Boston when it comes to hardcore but over the last few years it has produced quite a few bands that have shaken up the hardcore landscape and made a mark. Bad Seed are one of those bands although it seems like they were never even supposed to be a real band.How does that work? Well - when you have a bunch of young men in an up and coming poppunk band (in this case that would be Title Fight) that feel the need to express the harder, darker side of their personalities and their love for classic metallic New York hardcore bands like Merauder (the demo - definitely), early Biohazard and The Icemen... the end result could possibly be a band called Bad Seed and a demo that hit like a nailbomb in late '08. Four songs - all heavy as hell with a vicious bite to them. Nothing complicated or revolutionary but real hardcore done real well.
Bad Seed followed up their demo with a 7'' and a split 7'' with War Hungry on 6131 Records and the occasional live performance but never developed into a real, touring band despite the fact that their name was hot on everyone's lips.
Next up will be a brand new EP from Stick Together - Wilkes-Barre Straight Edge.
