The Return

It's almost as if Gnar Tapes & Shit didn't exist before this point. Things have become far more organized and serious since the last time I posted.

For one thing, I'd like to introduce my new business partner, Jordan Strong.



This bro has been a deeper member of both White Fang and SK8 & Rhone f, wor some time now. In fact, after Zach and the other bros moved to Kansas City, Jordan took Zach's old closet room. Jordan also works at the awesome art gallery on Burnside called Grass Hut. Jordan is also one fucking amazing photographer. I couldn't do this without him. As we go along, you'll all get to know and love him. But for now, let's talk about what I know you all want to hear about... tapes.

I'm sure you're familiar with White Fang's doppleganger band, Super Destroy. As of right now there are four different Super Destroy tapes.

There are two very new ones. First we have Eat My Shred, a ten minute tape that me and Kyle made. 6 tracks. There is no way this one will disappoint you. Very charming and welcoming, this tape will help you to realize that you have a friend in the merry pranksters here at Gnar Tapes & Shit.

There's also the newly found Death Eaters tape also by Super Destroy. Another ten minute banger, this raw and noisy spazz document took a few days of listening to figure out just who made it. We realized that it as TC on drums and me on a fucked-over and effected three stringed Kramer guitar. This tape fucking owns!

We've also re-upped on our previous Super Destroy tapes, Gamma Ray and Cool Bros. These tapes couldn't be more different from one another. Gamma Ray was the first Super Destroy piece to ever exist and it contains jams ranging from its A-side of primal noise-punk jams, to the ending nylon guitar almost-joke song. The tripped-out Cool Bros is a tape collage of songs that everyone could recognized, recorded and fucked with from CDs, radio, and tapes. Destroyed songs from the Beatles, Peter Gabriel, Usher, Fergie, radio commercials, etc. This tape will weird you out and make you smile.

Within a day or so we will also have finished our tape duplications of our bro-beatmaster Breakfast Mountain. This tape holds a very, very special place in all of our hearts. There are a lot of folks trying to make good beats, but no one can make such heartfelt and banging tracks like he can. This tape will rule your world, I promise.

We will also finally have our White Fang live tape GNAR OUT: LIVE ON KPSU very soon. I just have to find the CD-R that contains the performance. This tape's performance is one of the first that include Chuck on the second drum-set. Raw and unyielding, this tape will be a fine addition to any rad tape collection.

That's a lot of information about each tape and I'm getting tired of writing and not watching this rad 1979 Jackie Chan movie called Fearless Hyena. (This movie is awesome. It is overdubbed in the traditional-comedic way, complete with British voice acting and very strange and tripped out reverb/delay on the fight sounds. I love it.)

Soon we will have tapes from Panther, White Rainbow, Fist Fite, and other bands that you know and love. As well as a scream-punk tape from White Fang, a grind-techno tape from TC, a few mix-tapes from Feather Headdress (one of the best rap-beat duos you've never heard), etc.

Shirts soon too. A skate video. DVD-Rs and CD-Rs (aka CD-GNARS).

Also I made a Super Destroy record by myself that will be coming out as a clear-purple 10" record on Virginia's Now Hereness Records.

We also have White Fang's Marriage Records debut Pure Evil, as well as States Rights Records most recent Zone compilation, Grown Zone.

That's all for today. We are going to start posting every day now. We'd love to hear from you.
