For the 3rd installment of the Catholic Tapes BOX series comes double dose from Cincinnati, Ohio's Wasteland Jazz Unit. The duo comprised of Jon Lorenz on Saxophones & John Rich on Clarinets present another blown-out amalgamation of buzz and burl that could peel the paint off walls. Following their first full length LP on Nashazphone just months back, the Unit are back in full force with their pure-volume reed-assault like nobody else. The originality of both the process of the Unit is not to be understated, nor is their uncompromising and evolving sound. The sonic extremities of this release is on par with that of a screeching train derailing into another in slow motion. Incredibly stunning and captivating sounds coming from a completely unique place. Tape II features percussionist Chris Adams on the skins adding a completely new dynamic to the already glass-shattering sounds of the duo. Horns on a hellride through the desert at full force. Truly wonderful work. One of the heaviest and relentless releases I've had the pleasure in releasing. In an edition of 100 copies, Chrome bias tapes, Packaged in 5x5 white boxes with protective sleeves, with b&w art and transparency inserts.

running - running tape #2 - catholic tapes - cass - 7$
A VERY exiting second release by one of the best new bands in Chicago. A three piece - stereo flange feedback, reverb raptor-sounding vocals, and a pummeling rhythm section providing repetitious blasts, 50 seconds at a time. While Comparable and similar to bands like DrunkDriver, Slices, and Slavescene, Running move on with their own take on ferocious punk-influenced tunes. Very fast, very loud, and very energetic. Shit-fi recordings for the 21st century. Highly Recommended! Recorded live and remixed by Catholic Tapes Co-ceo Darla Marx. In an edition of 100 copies, Chrome-biased tapes, full color art/inserts.
