Demo 2019"
by Pasha & The Kindred Spirits
(2019)
Pasha's intimate bedroom recordings come alive with a 5 piece ensemble, recorded on the very device he so consistently laments, a cell phone. Cleaned up with three part harmonies, these new arrangements are the sweeping introduction to the rocking new vision of Pasha & The Kindred Spirits--screeching the pain of our cyberpunk universe out to the world in it's clearest voice to date.

The Problem With Inkmouth"
by Inkmouth
(2017)
What started as a solo project comes to fruition as a wildly energetic, freely collaborative full band on Inkmouth's third release. Beautiful four-piece rhythmic arrangements are tucked expertly beneath vocal melodies, creating smart pop greatness. Indie-influenced rock music communicating both a wide vision of the world, and an awareness of the tiny place one person occupies in it.

Meet Me For A Drink"
by Outta Gas
(2017)
The super catchy, harmony-laden sophomore LP from Outta Gas tells the story of another bad winter in NYC. Funny, clear-eyed, and deeply personal songs that grapple with the knowledge that life and love in OG's all-consuming home city are generally on some bullshit. An alternate reality where '..And Out Come The Wolves' is set in Brooklyn instead of Oakland, where Tim is tortured by a nonstop influx of cellular data, "Meet Me For A Drink" is cynical as hell and densely packed with the most memorable hooks since Weezer blue.

Starin' Out The Window"
by Pasha

The Good Times Are Bringing You Down"
by Inkmouth
(2015)

Self Titled 7"
(2015)
Released by Dead Broke Records, All in Vinyl Records, and LOI.
This heartfelt, passionate 45 sums up the worst of the Brooklyn winter, processing the grind and anxiety of life in America's most wound-up city. If the human condition is to experience media content and billboards instead of people or life, then these punk tunes about the natural destructive force of NYC are just the folk songs of our cyber-punk, data-phone universe.

An excellent punk band creating a record in an inspiringly ethical way. Splitting the release with over 100 small labels in Europe, Japan and the U.S., Rations put out a 7" that cost everyone next to nothing, belonged to everyone involved and encouraged people to think innovatively about making records. The amazing physical artwork reflects the meaning of the lyrics, communicating a political and philosophical thought process about anarchism and law.
