Let's discuss the Zine a bit more with a not so shameless plug. It comes with the latest Germ Attak 7", Death To Cops. Four tracks of that great Germ Attak sound, but all revolving around anti-cop themes. This was a split label effort. I did 100 copies with the zine, and then 3 other labels did 300. Jo's Capitalicide handled Canada, Loud Punk from the US, and Yellow Dog in Europe. A global effort for the group that recently toured Indonesia, Malaysia and Japn after several North American ventures and one in Europe. Each label had the same crazy cover art, done by Scott Benz, but all had their own variations.

Anyways, this post was made simply to hype the new video, by Ottawa local Paul Galipeau. I think more groups should take on music videos. I think they're an awesome medium, and this Germ Attak video is prrof that a simple concept can still be entertaining. Although it inevitably gets used for promotion, I believe that it can be created and exist outside of this purpose. If you're really into the music, you may simply be looking for a new avenue to experience the music. It's part of the reason fanatics love finding demos and live footage. Sure the music is the same, but it's placed in a new context outside of the album it is compiled with. Anyway, here's one track from the Death To Cops 7".

About to put in the rest of the work necessary to get this out in Zine form, with the new Germ Attak 7", Death To Cops. Proof as found below. I've been getting lots of records in the mail, many of which tie into previous themes. I got a copy of Regulations - Electric Guitar with a pink cover (Euro Press) and a poster, among many other great finds. I'm going to make up for my online shopping by crate digging in Kingston tomorrow, which hasn't been fruitful in the past, but maybe this time will be different.

Oh yeah, Pretentious Assholes isn't really a label, but when it does release things, releases will be serialized as such: PASS№XXX (Xs are variables, not straight edge in this case.)
