New Cassettes via Wyrd Distro


We had a visit from the folks behind Wyrd Distro and Weird Canada this weekend. They are the websites responsible for reviewing and distributing underground and independent music from across the country. They set up a little pop-up shop outside Royal Cat Records to help spread the weird word but we managed to snag a few of what was left at the end of the day for sale in the shop:


Free Hell

by JFM 

(Telephone Explosion)





Trash Day

Monomyth
