Their show in Detroit was so awesome. Somebody needs to pay to have these guys record with Steve Albini and release their record or something.

Get in touch if you're looking for some contemporary Detroit releases and we'll try to hunt them down and get them in the distro.

Glad to see everyone keeping active, hope ya'll have a good 2012!

Both releases are available from our brand new website: http://www.x-recs.com



Artist: Frustrations
Album Title: Negative Reflections
Catalog number: X!018
Listen: http://www.soundcloud.com/frustrations/sets
Description: Detroit's FRUSTRATIONS have arrived with their second album,
Negative Reflections, out on X! Records. The 9 tracks on the LP were
recorded and mixed over a series of Midnight-6AM sessions in a dank
warehouse by Danny "Bing" Tomczak (Ex-TERRIBLE TWOS), which may explain
why Negative Reflections has a darker thread of weird vibes running
through its songs when compared to their first LP Glowing Red Pill (X!,
2008). Think the more agressive side of SPACEMEN 3, the off-kilter song
structures of MX-80 SOUND, and a decent dose of the wilder SST/TOUCH & GO
bands for a glimpse into FRUSTRATIONS sound.

Tracklist:
1. The Drill
2. Meaningless
3. Surgeon
4. Shimmer
5. These Woods
6. Exhaust
7.Confusion Kills
8. No Repair
9. Black Lightning

- LP includes free MP3 download card

---------------------------------------------



Artist: Johnny Ill Band
Album Title: In the Wintertime b/w Matt Larson, Dan Braun 7"
Catalog number: X!019
Listen: http://soundcloud.com/xrecords/sets/johnnyillband/
Description: It's official- "In the Wintertime" has been declared the new
National Anthem of the Midwest. A great listen if you're sitting and
shivering, waiting for the heat to kick in while you're driving to work.
JOHNNY ILL BAND have been making noise in different incarnations around
Detroit for a few years now. With a solid new lineup, two previous 7"
singles under their belt, this new 3-song 7" on X!, and an already
finished LP coming out early next year, they show no sign of slowing down.
Think the playfully innocent but stone-sincere lyrics of MODERN LOVERS and
the raw melodic sensibilities of early PAVEMENT for a sketch of the JOHNNY
ILL BAND sound. Recorded by Chris Koltay at High Bias Studio in Detroit.

Side A: In the Wintertime
Side B: Matt Larson
           Dan Braun

Too bad Vancouver isn't closer. We always have an awesome time there once we get over the border. Hopefully sometime in the next year we'll make it out there again. Or you could always fly us out for a show...HA.

That's cool Erick. I've heard a lot about that place. On a scale of probably to absolutely, what are the chances I will be sleeping in a room the smells like cat urine?

Still need a show on Sat, Nov 19th. Pittsburgh? Cinci? Nashville? Any takers?
