In the early days of punk amidst the gritty pop riffing and cocaine blasted glam holdovers of CBGB, Max’s Kansas City and the like, Negatives sauntered into life as an anti-poser power trio who enjoyed writing music that was anything but pop. Consisting of reconfigured fallout from The Erotics and Inside Out (no, not that Inside Out), they employed a jagged, machine tight, hyped up guitar centric new wave approach to skewer what little public actually saw them with biting tracks about drugging, paranoia, anxiety and the mindless contentment of standard humans. Big city shit… Without much support, they managed to gig for about 6 months or so before disappearing into the hazy annals of the “me decade”. They did manage to track a few songs and release this lone EP that was all but lost until a lucky thumb met a curious eye in a New York record bin. With some help from friends, we were able to rescue this incredible EP from obscurity and we are beyond excited to offer this KBD monster to you now, freshly remastered from the original and finally in a picture sleeve. 500 copies on black 70gr vinyl housed in a 12 pt reverse board custom ILR silver lined glue pocket sleeve. Originally recorded in a now long defunct rehearsal studio in midtown Manhattan around 1979/1980. Exact dates are unknown as the master tapes were lost a long time ago. Recut and remastered by John Golden in 2023. Art by Jensen Ward. Label: Iron Lung Records -
THIS IS A PRE-ORDER! YOUR RECORD WILL SHIP ON OR AROUND JUNE, THANKS! Picking up where 2022’s “Seething” EP left off, “Threats” finds a reinvigorated EXTORTION further distilling their water tight stop/start anti-feedback power violence velocity to “communicate... something. actually, a LOT of something- too much panic, too much frustration, too much nausea, too much of everything.” The new EP is an absolute brain pummel that will leave you more destroyed than ever. Seriously, this band just keeps getting faster and tighter and more ferocious with no limit to what they can do. EXTORTION is a gift… just don’t look ‘em in the mouth. 600 on black 70gr vinyl housed in a 12pt custom die cut jacket with lyric insert included. Recorded by Sam Johnson at The Black Lodge. Mixed and Mastered by Will Killingsworth at Dead Air. Artwork by Rohan Harrison. Label: Iron Lung Records

Extortion blew much of the Australian underground out of the water in the mid-late 00’s with a slew of ferocious cuts Extortion concreted themselves as a torchbearer for antisocial music. Waiting for this new record to drop was nothing out of the ordinary, even without pandemic lockdowns they are a band who more often than not appear to be on some sort of hiatus – emerging suddenly to bewilder with speed and bile which is exactly what they’ve done again with ‘Seething’. With an added grinding rash to these blistering pusheads (I’m convinced you can hear shards flying from the drum kit) there’s the sardonic outsider wretchedness, trademark slithering tremolo punk & bassment groove, bludgeoning sludge and cult Australian film samples that fans have come to yearn for. Clocking the speedo with fifteen tracking in under ten minutes; this is a lean cut of leg that exposes the band at their most belligerent Australian version released by the band. Label: Self Released
