Woah! Kind of expensive for one song you may be saying to yourself... Please keep reading. This is a super-limited edition, hand-numbered run of 25 lathed polycarbonate 7" single, available black, white or clear plexiglass. This is a 100% DIY effort in every sense of the term. We're using 100% of the proceeds of this release to fund future releases just like this one.
There is an initial release of 25 with a potential of second run of 25 being funded from this first run. There is an idea for a variant edition as well. Hopefully this will sell well to fund both of these projects as well as many more in the pipeline.
Once the first, and hopefully the second run of 25 and, again, perhaps the variant edition of this sells out, that is all we are releasing in this run for this release in this format. They are truly super-limited editions. We'll see where that takes us with our other recorded material.
We have taken great care to provide a release that we have written, recorded, mixed and mastered ourselves, procured an amazing artist and select a solid medium to release it all on. We pride ourselves in our work and are not satisfied with producing anything physical that is not worth anything beyond what can be achieved with a simple digital download. A physical release must be distinguishable in and of its own right as worthy and unique that you want to hold with your own hands. We even selected archival, acid-free 7" record sleeves.
Lathed polycarbonate? We couldn't afford to press vinyl for this project, so we're giving this a go. Each piece is lathed from polycarbonate in real time, so they are each and every one of them, a unique piece. Give it a chance, like we did. You'll get 'Lip Service' and a bonus track as a digital download as well.
A few words of note: the sound quality is not equal to that of vinyl. It is best suited for turntables with a weighted tone arm. Lighter tonearm weight and neutral anti-skating works best.
With supporting us with this project, we hope to have future releases on vinyl once again. It's been 15 years for us for releasing anything on vinyl. We wish to release our entire catalog on vinyl. Thanks for your support! Cheers!

about
A nice blend of punk rock and roll and heavy OC punk rock. This came out of a concept idea for a split EP that ended up fizzling out because of bad timing and Jme moving to Florida (of all places). Anywho, Jay ended up writing some lyrics with that in mind and Jme wrote some music and, here we have it. Finally.
lyrics
Lip Service/Rippu Saabisu リップサービス
Like a puppeteer entwining strings of fabrication
Intertwining minds
A puppet show of your creation
Venom rolls off of your tongue
A taste that often lingers
Lure in something sweet to cover up the aftertaste
You're full of shit
Stop telling lies
Your false praise has been written
I don’t need lip service
Button those lips
Stop talking shit
Your tongue it must be bitten
We don’t need lip service
Stitch it together
Connecting all the dots
A filigree of finery of interwoven lies
Webslinger of untruth and self-serving deceit
The world that you weave will become all that you believe
You're full of shit
Stop telling lies
Your false praise has been written
I don’t need lip service
Button those lips
Stop talking shit
Your tongue it must be bitten
We don’t need lip service
I don’t need it
You don’t need it
We don’t need it
No one needs it
You're full of shit
Stop telling lies
Your false praise has been written
I don’t need lip service
Button those lips
Stop talking shit
Your tongue it must be bitten
We don’t need lip service
