US TWO RECORDS is a label I run with Alan. We plan on primarily releasing limited edition split vinyl only records. For mailorder or distribution please email ALAN. Thanks. Here is some info on our releases:
US 01 - EL PASO HOT BUTTON/LIPSTICK TERROR 7″- Our first release features our good friend, El Paso Hot Button contributing the exclusive track “3-4-1″ and a cut from the defunct band Lipstick Terror (of Mexicali). Limited to 300 mixed marble vinyl. First release for both acts on vinyl.
US TWO 01 EPHB/Lipstick Terror split 7″
US 02 - BATWINGS/WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH 7″ - Release “02” brings together San Diego’s BATWINGS and Austin’s WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH. Run in a limited batch of 500 copies (300 transparent red with black bleed & silver splatter and 200 black with silver splatter), this technique was a first for Pirate’s Press and also their “Record of the Week” ending on July 17th, 2009. Batwings showcases the track “Dr. Ohm vs. The Exploding Amp” which highlights their spastic hardcore sound influenced from early 2000 SoCal underground acts such as The Locust, Holy Molar and Le Shok. “Dr. Ohm vs. The Exploding Amp” was recorded by Batwings. Austin mini-grunge orchestra, When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, recorded their track “Houston Voice” as a seven piece, but are currently touring as a 4, sometimes 5 piece. They have been featured on a Cardboard Records compilation; an experimental noise and lo-fi electronic label run by Dan Friel and B.J. Warshaw of Parts & Labor. Like our first release, this is the debut vinyl release for both acts.
US TWO 02 Batwings/When Dinosuars Ruled the Earth split 7″ (specify vinyl color)
US 03 - Juarez & Junius 10″ - Featuring artwork by Portuguese artist Helder Pedro and photography by Andrew Weiss, this is Us Two Records first 10″ release.
After a few bumps we have finally got everything ready to go to the record press. This is our most anticipated release yet with JUNIUS from Boston who are texturally sonic and induce a trance like state as you listen to their sound. “The Time of Perfect Virtue” is their contribution to this release and it’s one of their best tracks put on tape yet. I’m not being biased either.
JUAREZ from Tucson, Arizona have been involved with this release just as much as we have. Their help and experience have been a blessing. Their track “Old River, Dry River” is a nine minute epic that takes you from ground zero to a level that makes your ears bleed, then brings you back down with acid flashbacks.
Doing the artwork is photographer Andrew Weiss. His portfolio of live band photography is enormous and he has worked on other album artwork as well. Pelican’s “What We All Come to Need” to name one.
OUT NOW. Clear 10″. Pressed in a run of 500 with 200 being gold and 300 clear. First release for Juarez on Vinyl.
US TWO 03 Junius/Juarez 10″ split – Limited to 300 clear and 200 transparent gold vinyl. Pics of actual vinyl will be up soon.
This split is $14.00 with shipping included. Since we are a small label things are adding up such as shipping cost and shipment packaging. Thanks for understanding. In a few weeks we will have 200 transparent gold versions of this release as well as the clear in case your like me and want the most rare version. The clear versions will still have the lowest numbers though. This is due to the record manufacturer’s mistake and we took advantage of it!
Shirts available soon as well as US TWO 03!
