We will have the Glowing Red Pill LP's (and CD's) for sale on tour and the die Stasi 7" repress.

We will also have about 80 hand numbered, different (minimal) packaging SHIFTLESS DECAY: NEW SOUNDS OF DETROIT  compilation LP's for sale. The real jackets haven't been printed yet. The only way to get these (as of now) is if you come to our shows. Featuring BRAND NEW UNRELEASED SONGS by Tyvek, Little Claw, Terrible Twos, Frustrations, Human Eye (well, their cut is from their new LP), Fontana, Heroes & Villains, Johnny Ill band, Odd Clouds, THTX, the Mahonies, Tentacle Lizardo. It should be out for real in September/early October.

Please help with any of the unbooked shows if you can. Even if it's just a place to crash or whatever. Some last minute flaking has screwed some of the dates.

That's right, 3 new releases for you to get your filthy mits on, starting with:

Fontana- "I Feel Like A Jerk" 7" EP $5.50
Following up a small CD-R release put out a few years ago (X!003) that they recorded when they were 16, Fontana puts out their first release that people outside the Detroit area could possibly find out about. 3 songs of punk rock n roll with all 3 members singing. Fontana's drummer (Colin) also plays guitar in the Frustrations (Fontana came first though). Listen here: http://www.myspace.com/fontanafuntime or hear a different song on the X! myspace

Terrible Twos- "Radical Tadpoles" 7" EP $5.50
5 songs recorded raw on tape by Matt Smith. Terminal Boredom review says "A top five single of the year, guarantee." Pick one up and see what YOU think. Terrible Twos also just put out a single on Big Neck Records, so check that out too. Listen here: myspace.com/terribletwos

Frustrations- "Glowing Red Pill" CD $10
In the works for a while, the Frustrations debut album is done and for sale. Ten songs. Some say psychadelic punk, maybe with some hints of surf, but not really a 60's vibe. Too much noise and feedback for that...I dunno, listen for yourself: http://www.myspace.com/thefrustrations
Frustrations have also just put out a new 3 song single on the die Stasi label. 2 originals plus a Devo cover ("Freedom of Choice"). Go here to order: http://www.myspace.com/diestasi

IN OTHER NEWS, the Michael Yonkers/Little Claw 7" is still availible, check out the new review on Terminal Boredom (terminal-boredom.com, there are also reviews of the new Fontana, Terrible Twos, and Frustrations 7 inches too).

Due to a shitty domain registry company that fucked us over, it looks like our old domain name (x-recordings.com) is history. It's too bad too, the old domain name is printed on all the Frustrations CD's we just got. ANYWAY, will probably buy a different one soon and set up a new site, so watch out for that. In the meantime, please go to the X! Records mypace for all information: http://www.myspace.com/xrecordsdetroit
