ANNOUNCING OUR NEW TAPE, CTTB09, AND A SUBSEQUENT TEMPORARY HIATUS:

Damn!! I mean, damn!! Very long time no posts or action I guess haha, but we have been incredibly busy. For various all-good reasons we are no longer operating out of the same city and are back to our cross-country nonsense, as well as the inherently hectic nature of summer. With this and a couple of other factors in mind, we are gonna be doing one sweet tape for the summer months, and then taking a hiatus until the beginning of 2017. We will certainly be back, and we keenly look forward to releasing more excellent chaos, but we just unavoidably have to focus our limited capacities elsewhere for the time being. All online orders will be filled as quickly as we can for the duration and forever, and we are generally just staying stoked and trying to do sweet things!!

As for that release, we are doing a limited tape edition of BRENT GUNN's devastating and searing feedback worship/PE track SUBMISSIVE AGGRESSOR, to go alongside the 8-track edition that H8-TRACK STEREO has already released. Our version will be catalogued as CTTB09, will be on an edition of 15 one-sided black tapes and will come with unique red artwork. Our bandcamp will be updated with this release imminently soon, and tapes will be available through both us and the artist. Check out this harrowing noise, get stoked, and get ready to blast this tape in a dark basement or on an industrial road at night. As always, please contact us through here if you have any questions or things to talk about - we're looking around, and looking forward!!

ANNOUNCING CTTB08: THE DEBUT DEMO FROM NOT DOWN

From the gridlock depths of downtown Toronto comes an annihilating cavalcade of powerviolence and all around fast-as-fuck punk. Clocking in at around the length of a standard pop song, this 8-track demo moves through blasts, d-beats and weird breaks in a relentless and erratic attack. Featuring both co-runners of the lovely little label on whose page you're reading this, this demo is a co-release with Bleach Mojito records, and comes in an edition of 50 one-sided azure-blue tapes.

ANNOUNCING OUR NEWEST RELEASE: LOW LEVEL/I HATE SEX SPLIT TAPE

We are monumentally stoked to announce that we will be releasing a split tape between Edmonton luminaries Low Level and I Hate Sex as CTTB07!! Explosive fast hardcore and glorious melodic screamo will come face to face on beautiful spools of magnetic tape, and it's time for you to get excited. Edition of 60 red tapes, with 20 going to each band and to us. Tell your friends and co-workers, and watch out for pre-orders and streaming on our bandcamp in the next few days!! https://lowlevel.bandcamp.com/ https://ihatesex.bandcamp.com/ PS: We apologize for our seeming perpetual social media silence - we are taking things slower as we're both in school right now. After this wonderful release we have a couple of vague things planned for the winter and spring, and won't be considering new submissions/ideas until well into 2016. Thanks for yr patience, and get stoked on cool releases!

WE’RE BACK! IN FACT, WE NEVER LEFT

We bailed on using our tumblr for a few months, as you can probably tell from the complete absence of posts about our last four releases (which are out and awesome!). We’ve been living in three cities in three provinces in the past few months, and while we’ve been releasing tapes and playing shows and distroing, we have quite simply spaced on the whole blog thing. Now, conversely, we live in the same townhouse, and so it wouldn’t be ridiculous of you to expect more regular updates, as well as other ludicrous things like better mail-order turnarounds and generally being somewhat functioning. If you’re in Toronto, tell us what’s up, and if you’re not, stay stoked and maybe send us an email. Best wishes for everyone, looking forward!

CTTB02 IS GO! LIFT OFF REPEAT WE HAVE LIFT OFF

The split C16 tape between atmospheric black metal acts Deafest and Sinding is now fully available to order, and all pre-orders have been sent out. We are beyond stoked to be able to make this available, and we hope that you enjoy what you hear. We are now fully committed to the production of CTTB03, the noisecore split tape between Scab Addict and Fuckworld. Stay tuned for digital streaming and pre-orders for that release within the next week and a half. Stay stoked and have a great rest of the week!

And here it is! The split C16 tape between atmospheric/rocky mountain black metal artists Deafest and Sinding. Experience flip sides of the same blackened coin, soon to be on an edition of 45 greyish green tapes. Available for pre-order and streaming until then. Stoked forever!

We as a label would like to articulate and register our complete and total support and encouragement of the current movement of DIY and independent labels donating their bandcamp proceeds from the month of December to charitable, non-profit organizations in Ferguson. In light of the fact that we have little for sale in terms of merchandise right now, and aren't generating any profits from our bandcamp at this time, we have chosen to make an out-of-pocket donation of forty dollars USD to the This Week In Blackness independent media network, who have been covering the struggles in Ferguson, and who have been and continue to provide information on struggles everywhere. As a media organization, we want to register our support and solidarity with the struggles and experiences of oppressed and marginalized people around the world, both in terms of speech and of action. Thank you for reading, stay stoked and have an awesome rest of the week.

[chainsawtothebass]

We've confirmed several artists for the noise(core) comp, and we are super excited about how its turning out. Expect digital streaming and pre orders for physical copies by mid-late november. Everything moves slowly but hopefully that's because what we are doing is cool. Figuring it out!

ANNOUNCING CTTB01.5: A HARSH COMPILATION

We got bored waiting around and decided that we needed to spend more money, so we're now putting out a noisecore/harshnoise/powerviolent compilation in between CTTB01 (which is out) and CTTB02 (which won't be out for some time). This compilation will be called (you guessed it) Fuck Off Get Free We Throw Chainsaws At Everybody, and it will feature artists from all around the world. So far artists from Slovakia, Australia, and Canada have been confirmed, and it would be fair to expect more places a long the way. Edition of 200 7" records, watch the fuck out.

[chainsawtothebass]

Still working on everything. Things are going so slowly, but perhaps that's for the best. Sinding records on November 2nd, and Deafest is currently writing his side of the split, CTTB02. Rumours swirl about a new noisecore band called Fuckworld (which, I seriously say, has nothing to do with CTTB03). Wormwood are still cool, emo is still cool, check out the band Terry Green as well.

[chainsawtothebass]

THIS IS VERY REAL. PAY ATTENTION

[chainsawtothebass]

Things are moving along slowly but nicely. Sinding records at the end of the month for their side of the split with Deafest, and the latter will be recording soon as well. Angel of Mercy CDRs are available to order. Future things are slowly coming together as well....watch out on that front. ALBATROS and WORMWOOD merch will be available through our distro shortly. Staying stoked and afraid.

[chainsawtothebass]

We (I) are (am) currently burning and painting CDs for CTTB01: The Penitent Engine. Get ready to wall.
