O Pioneers!!! is a new band I just discovered while looking up similar artists on Last.FM to put in a listing title to sell a record. Checked it out and I dig it. Although from Texas they have a chaotic thrashy abrasive melodic punk vibe to them but in a Gainsville FL No Idea records way. Getting compaired to Against me and early Hot Water Music. Should be some good summer records Sadly, I missed the boat and they have been broken up for a year or two. I had a fun time purchasing these records. They were a small time DIY punk band. Pretty much all their release are strictly distroed through other small time DIY punk labels. After checking numerous websites I finally found a label who was carrying it, they also has first press copies(always cool) priced the most right you can get for $8. After shooting the shit with the guy from Underground Communique via email he had actually did some leg work for me and told me Reckless Records(a chain of 3 connected stores in the Chicago area) had a copy of "Black Mambas" used for $4.99 and thats how I got that one! There was something about the whole experience that brought me back to how things "used to be". Cheap records, friendly people, visting labels site I have never heard of that look like they were made with Geocities, carrying other labels records who are friends, getting in your order with a bunch of flyers and shit you didnt even ask for or order, just everything about it was awesome.

Superdrag LP after being delayed for MONTHS finally arrives! I think i ordered it in October/November, due in January sometime, delayed till mid February but its here!
