Greetings! We here at Katorga Works would like to announce three new releases for you to check out, if you so desire. They are the last Rational Animals 7", the debut Altered Boys 7", and the second Lotus Fucker LP, which is a split release with SPHC and RSR.
Artist: Rational Animals
Album: Cross Eyed Delights b/w Way After Midnight
Release: 2012
Label: Katorga Works
Tracklist:
1. Cross Eyed Delights
2. Way After Midnight
The Bad Boys of Katorga Works, Rational Animals, follow up their 2011 LP and a 2012 7" single on Cowabunga with the Cross Eyed Delights b/w Way After Midnight 7", their last release as a band.
This 7" signals a new direction for the band, one that was made clear by their aforementioned Bock Rock Parade LP. In hindsight, that LP exists in a clear transitional state between the late-era Black Flag worship of their first two 7"s and their new sound on these 7" singles, which is more informed by the 90s underground than Greg Ginn's loneliness.
"Cross Eyed Delights" ranks as both Rational Animals' most beautiful moment and their crowning achievement-to-date. "Way After Midnight" compliments its flipside perfectly, acting as a lurching, creeping, classically bluesy stroll through late night longing. A perfect single, a perfect way to go out.

Label: Katorga Works
Tracklist:
1. The Nudge
2. Crashing Down
3. Who Are You?
4. Ask A Punk
5. Drug War
6. Reality Check
7. Missionary Position
Originating from Newbridge, NJ, Altered Boys plays a supreme brand of
hardcore that's heavily-inspired by fast, early 2000s NJHC that has
helped rejuvenate a once (temporarily) stagnant scene into something
that is once more interesting and vital. This EP, their vinyl debut,
builds upon the sound of their demo and their appearance on the
legendary Omegas' Joy Boy, Vol. 3 comp with superior recording quality and songwriting.

have you ever considered doing the bandcamp paid download thing? generally like the stuff you release & free mediafire links are cool but I'd happily pay for FLAC.
Nah, too lazy haha
