Touch & Go record label S&D

awesome, thanks.

Wow to Kirk Gibson introducing Negative Approach! That Laughing Hyenas piece was good too. RIP Larissa

John Brannon: Larissa had never picked up guitar, she just kind of learned her own way. She wasn't affected by learning Eric Clapton or Led Zeppelin, she did it by feeling.

Hey, they're on Bandcamp:

Most excellent.

Kinda disappointed the early Shellac singles aren't up there, though.

I have a feeling those are coming "soon", which is Shellac terms means anytime between now and 5 yrs from now

Good to see they went with this pic of Killdozer

Always loved that photo. It's like they out-Urge Overkilled Urge Overkill.

the shirts alone are incredible, yes

Thanks! That's good to see.

I wish they'd put their old yearly sampler compilations up, although I concede that maybe there isn't so much point in comps in the new online/bandcamp era. But a couple of those really changed the shape of my record-hunting in the late 90s, and now I can't even find them listed on the T&G website.

Guess I can look up the tracklistings on discogs and just listen to the individual tracks & buy whatever artist's albums take my fancy, which I suppose might be what a sampler was supposed to inspire, rather than being listened to on loop as an album in its own right by broke students who excitedly picked them up because they were cheap and had a lot of tracks on.

(Some of them were coproductions with their sublabel Quarterstick Records, who have their own bandcamp: https://quarterstick.bandcamp.com/ )
