Hot Hot Heat | The Red Light Sting - Split CD (CD)(2003) ACHE 002

One of my favorite split releases. Originally released on LP in 2000 and reissued on CD with bonus enhanced video content  in 2003. I'm a big fan of the switchable album cover. The lyrics and notes are right-side up either way you open it with the graphic pages in the middle.

The images are kind of out of frame but I didn't want to take new ones.

Since The Ashes

Since The Ashes was a five-piece post-hardcore/screamo/metal band from Houston, Texas founded in 2004 by Miguel Salcedo and Christian Procel. They released one full-length album titled Paint The Sky.
Their sole full-length can be heard on streaming and on my YouTube channel.You can also listen to a live recording of their song "Your Shadow" on my YouTube channel or on Songkick.

Since The Ashes was: 

Stefani White: voice 
Miguel Salcedo: voice + guitar 
Christian Procel: drums 
Seth Schemahorn: guitar 
Melik: bass

Promotional photos and gifs from Myspace internet archives 2006 and 2008:

 
(sadly, this last one didn't lead to anything on archive.org) 

I have also pieced together a higher-res version of the first photo from the last gif, shown here:

!we!bark!loud! - Magic Havoc (Cassette)(2012)

 Solo project of Joshua Cook, who now(?) makes music in the project Tangle Parade. 
Not sure how I got the photos to format like this but it works very nicely.







Bang Bang - It's Choking Me (CD)(2004) BLKIRIS001 BNG001

 22-minute EP or something by Detroit hardcore band Bang Bang. A banging collection of songs, to say the least, even if the lyrics are laughably cliche (see "1977"). Everyone likes Dave Graw.
Apologies for the reflection on the photos, I didn't notice it until uploading them here.


Sticker on top of case, weirdly is listed as "self titled" instead of its proper title

Sloppily pasted liner notes:

Strapped To A Rocket - Forget The Fireworks (CD)(2000)

 Another new-to-the-internet CD. Alt rock band possibly from West Gate, MI. Awesome artwork. Lyrics included below, which is a plus

Compilation of Louisville hardcore band Guilt's EPs, 7"s, and other rare tracks released in 1999. 

All but the Step Down demos are on streaming, and you can listen to those on YouTube.

The images are a little muddy but hopefully the text is readable.
