The Four Aces - (1952) ST 10''

Al Alberts from South Philadelphia, who had worked with the big bands of Jan Savitt and Elliot Lawrence before World War II, played piano when he could get near one, and sang in a powerful tenor. His newfound friend Dave Mahoney from Chester, a suburb of the city, played fine tenor sax and could also sang vocal parts. They promised each other they would work together at the end of the war and live from music.
Returning to Chester in 1956, Alberts and Mahoney enlisted the aid of record owner Marty Caruso who rounded up two more members: Rosario "Sod" Vaccaro, who sang baritone and played trumpet, and Louis Silvestri, drummer and bass voice. Silvestri belonged to a roller-skating club called 'The Aces', and the group took the name as their own. They rehearsed and polished old standards, versions of current pop tunes, and wrote some new material to play at local clubs and college dances.
Al Alberts left the Four Aces in 1958 and was replaced by Freddie Diodatti. Eventually, all the original members left the group and a new line-up was formed, consisting of Tony Alesi, Joe Giglio and Harry Heisler.
In 1975, the declining health of Tony Alesi forced him to leave the band. He was replaced by Danny Colingo.
After a legal battle between the original and new members of the formation, the court allowed the founding members to tour as "The Original Four Aces Featuring Al Alberts", which they did, finally retiring the original act in 1987.

//TENSE// - (2011) Consume 10''

Released on vinyl for the first time (the EP was originally out on the hype label Disaro as a limited CDr), Consume EP presents a new angle to the hard hitting EBM tracks the band has already released. The sound is cleaner and sharper. It mixes hard beats EBM style with more ethereal and atmospheric ambience of the shoegaze bands of the early 90s.

The EP was first released in 10" vinyl format in April 1995. The vinyl release is unusual in that side A is played at 33rpm and side B at 45rpm. The CD version, released in November 1996, contains 2 bonus tracks originally released on the vinyl single Rocket from the Crypt Plays the Music Machine.

The State of Art is on Fire was the first of three releases by Rocket from the Crypt in 1995. The LP Hot Charity and album Scream, Dracula, Scream! were both also recorded and released that year, and singer/guitarist John Reis would later refer to these three records as a "trilogy".

Slint - (1994) Untitled 10''

Released after the band had already broken up, it includes two songs that were recorded in 1989. It was first intended to be released as a 12" single on Jennifer Hartman Records, as original copies of the Tweez LP included a flyer advertisement for the 12" as an insert. However, Slint signed to Touch & Go Records before it was sent to press and the master tapes were shelved. In 1994, Touch & Go released the EP in 10" and CD formats.[1] It contained a previously unreleased track, "Glenn", and a reinterpretation of "Rhoda" from Tweez.
On the 10" vinyl edition, the sides of the record are labelled with illustrations of a triangle and an octopus, rather than A/B, one/two or track titles.

In the documentary "Breadcrumb Trail", it is stated the songs were recorded before Spiderland by Steve Albini when he had some open studio time and was asking bands around to record, with Slint ultimately taking the studio time.

Fields Of Shit - (1998) ST 10''

13 song debut / last will and testament of this short-lived Bay Area band. Melodic, angry, punked out grooves with political lyrics from dual gendered vocalists.

Musically crossed between all the aforementioned bands with little hints of DAMAD or ANTISCHISM."Hate, Love, Fear and Lust mixed between hypnotic rhythms and thick flows, slow beats and near thrash speeds" - the band. Made up of 2 parts FILTH, 1 part TALK IS POISON, 1 part QUEEN MAB, and 1 part Shoshanna. Recorded by Noah Landis (Christ on Parade / Neurosis). Comes complete with 16 page lyric booklet.
