Posted on here before but never about distro stuff.:.
Statuestory Tapes is a small-run cassette label run under the guise of a real record label. I've been working for Lunchbox Records for years, but didn't want to release tapes under the umbrella of the record store/label. All tapes are professionally duplicated.
SsT-02 GRIDS - "THE FIRST YEAR OF GARBAGE AND B-SIDE" CS
Noisy, out of control, echo-laiden punk and rock. This tape encompasses the first 8 months of the band's existence. Songs originally released on a long out-of-print demo, scrapped songs from their first 7" on Lunchbox Records, and lost live recordings. Tape has two completely unreleased songs, and bizarre versions of older songs. Constantly compared to the AMREP roster, but these rare recordings offer noise a more blown out feel. Not far of from Pissed Jeans, The Jesus Lizard, Francis Harold, or even Swans.

Chopped and screwed from pieces of a prior soundtrack to a film that no one knows, Sophie's Palace is an exercise in monotony. Peaks and fjords of sonic copulation put to tape, swirled and delayed into a concoction not fit for digital. Two long form "songs", Sophie's Palace is Moenda's gift to SsT, in supremely limited quantities. Unfit for nearly pregnant mother's and the perfect item to put as an offering on Jack Kirby's grave. Moenda features most of the infamous Charlotte band CALABI YAU, who were responsible for Charlotte's amazing YAU HAUS. Tape has been compared to DNA, BLAME GAME, & US MAPLE. The band's 7" split with Great Architect is being released the first week of February on Kinnikinnik Records, and a 12" will follow in mid spring.

Ominous pop jarred loose from a garage and a basement, Brain Flannel have hazarded five overdriven songs onto magnetic tape for your enjoyment. Interloping male & female vocals dart through a brash instrumentation that would fit nicely on a mixtape with early SAINTS, AVENGERS, and BAGS. And they talk about drugs. Band is ex-LOGIC PROBLEM (Sorry State/No Way/etc.), Grids, and up-and-coming happy Charlotte band YARDWORK.

GRIDS - RIOT GIRLS CS
Grids covers "Suck My Left One" and "Rebel Girl". Because cassingles and Bikini Kill both kick ass (and never went out of style?), Kinnikinnik decided to put this out. Really stylish silver covers, punk as fuck. Tape was repressed after the initial pressing sold out, there are only a few of this pressing left, and no one is making anymore.

Coming in March -
SsT - 05 CHRONIC YOUTH - "LIVE AT 201212"
Chronic Youth has floated to the top of the overburdened shit pile that is Florida hardcore. Feedback driven punk rock that has strayed as far from the Black Flag mold as is possible while still maintaining the urgency of early US hardcore. The sounds that bleed off of this tape sound like a 60's space launch recorded by Alan Lomax. This live performance was recorded on the band's first date of their lengthy East coast tour, this acts as a document of a train heading for a wall. The band features members of DEAD FRIENDS, CARBS, and most bands that have been bringing Gainesville's hardcore scene national recognition.
