TOTAL CONTROL & DIÄT in a CZ skate video

The people at Crook Magazine and Lógr Crew put out this cool DIY skateboarding video called FUNUS and it has a couple of our songs in it. TOTAL CONTROL's "Black Spring" and DIÄT's "Toonie" are the first two in fact. There's a bunch of random home made cement spots nicely mixed in with the usual iron curtain blocks and slants. Decent skating too. Nice.

TOTAL CONTROL pressing delay

Hey all,
 This is just a quick note to let you know that there has been a small disaster at the pressing plant involving surgery and a newly one-armed man. This has backed up the presses a bit and really thrown a wrench in the production schedules of many labels. We have your orders and info saved and set aside in our hermetically sealed vaults until the presses resume. Rest assured we will work tirelessly until Typical System is delivered to your door.
 Thank you for your understanding and patience in this matter.
-Jensen & Jon // ILR

TOTAL CONTROL ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM TYPICAL SYSTEM

OUT JUNE 24^TH ON IRON LUNG RECORDS

HEAR NEW SONG “FLESH WAR” HERE

Finally, a new deep cut from Melbourne’s visceral post-punk band Total Control.  Typical System, their second LP, was written, recorded, created over the past two years and is set for US/Worldwide release via Iron Lung Records on June 24^th and self-release in Australia/New Zealand on June 20^th.

LISTEN TO “FLESH WAR” ON BANDCAMP HERE

Total Control emerged from Australia’s dynamic punk scene in ’08, releasing a succession of 7”s that developed from an aggressive post-punk band sound to studio forays into electronic forms from minimal wave to house.  Their debut LP, Henge Beat, was commended as one of the few records released in 2011 that evaded the ease of classification and competent tribute act status of most modern bands.

Subsequently, they have released three very different records: a split 12” with Thee Oh Sees, a 7” single on Sub Pop and a house remix 12”. Typical System develops on the incongruent demands of their debut LP and ensuing releases, a further development on their continually evolving sound.

Out now on ILR: NEEDLES - Desesperacion 7"

Hi. We made it.

(LUNGS-036) NEEDLES - Desesperación 7"
A sniper will lay in wait indefinitely until the target presents himself. It's that quiet, calculating reflection and refinement that truly makes a master craftsman. This mission has been in the works for many years and the calm has paid off. 6 precise shots of furious bay area hardcore by a lethal mix of Talk Is Poison and Limp Wrist members slowly breathing out and finally squeezing the trigger.
It's proof that if you believe in something and apply your skill set it will succeed.

Listen here and buy here.

Thank you,
Jensen

We also got these cool Henge Beat posters from TOTAL CONTROL.

Some COLUMN OF HEAVEN in the shop

After a successful weekend of Canada's finest mosh, we make this Survivalist release obtainable for you. We did not get many but there were not many to be gotten in the first place. There is a bit of preview for the upcoming "Flesh Prison" 7" to be released on our fine imprint in early 2013.

And in case we forgot to mention it, we have the IRON LUNG/THE PROCESS tour split 7" (or at least what remains of it) available for you to purchase as well.

 We also got some more of the latest TOTAL CONTROL 7" back in stock.
 For these and more go to our STORE. Thank you and good day.
