Three One G Records

Three One G Records ORDER FROM OUR WEB STORE: www.threeoneg.com In this way, the label serves as documentation of an auditory evolution for many musicians over the years.

Created in 1994 by Justin Pearson, merely a teenager at the time looking to release his bands’ music on a label that matched his own odd tastes and creative aesthetics, Three One G grew out of necessity more than anything. Since then, it has always been a labor of love, an all-hands-on-deck DIY approach to represent familiar faces, band mates’ bands, tour family, and those who are kindred spirits,

that connect with the culture that the label holds dear. This includes acts spanning the world and across all styles, from Italian noise duo Zeus!, to New Orleans’ puppet show sweethearts Quintron and Miss Pussycat, to Mike Patton fronted hardcore savages, Dead Cross. Twenty years later, the label has grown organically, taken on even more friends, family and misfits along the way, and unleashed unto the world over 100 strange, eclectic, fantastic releases since its inception. What started with innovative music and vinyl from bands like Unbroken, Blood Brothers, and Some Girls eventually branched out to include the same members of the Three One G family's more recent projects, like Narrows, Head Wound City, and Secret Fun Club. Where else could one find legendary rapper Kool Keith on the same label as a heavy, noisy band like Metz? Or a tribute to Queen with a cover of Bohemian Rhapsody by Weasel Walter (knock on wood, no lawsuits yet!)? Three One G is the vessel to build these winding, strange, impractical and yet somehow logical bridges between genres, regions, and every other barrier out there that exists to try to separate people who are more alike than they realize. It has managed to do this through its continued DIY ethos and stubborn efforts to maintain the same high, uncompromising standards that it has held itself to from the beginning.

Deaf Club - We Demand a Permanent State of Happiness LP

Deaf Club continues their scathing indictment of society with their second full-length album, being released on Southern Lord Recordings and Three One G Records: We Demand a Permanent State of Happiness. Fast wit and faster blast beats are mainstays of the band, but there is also a sense of growth. This is their strongest songwriting yet, incorporating more hooks and good old-fashioned moments to mosh while staying as weird as ever. Raygun guitar riffs and unexplainable sounds abound. Justin Pearson, Brian Amalfitano, Scott Osment, and Jason Klein excel at inciting emotion in the face of apathy and voicing disgust amid a world rapidly burning.

CULT AND CULTURE PODCAST TO RELEASE COMPILATION WITH Smashed Plastic Record Pressing FEATURING The Exploited, HIRS, The Locust, SWING KIDS, AND MORE

Podcasts are kind of a crazy thing – growing up, before things like content algorithms, surveillance in your homes, and ORACLE, the idea of a conversation held some power. Fecking Bahamas is not out here saying the art of conversation is dead, but certainly it’s more of a product now thanks to an endless sea of average people, average ideas, and average levels of conviction, all with easy access to a mic.

But that’s what makes Cult and Culture so important. JUSTIN PEARSON and Luke Henshaw bring the art of the podcast back to its roots to the point it almost feels like something totally different. They make a point of bringing in controversial guests, ask challenging questions, and often lead with angles that challenge more than they affirm.

It helps immensely that Justin Pearson and Luke Henshaw have championed outsiders their entire careers, and not just in music – guests from Martin Atkins (PiL) and Ben Weinman (Suicidal Tendencies, The Dillinger Escape Plan) to legendary director John Waters all feel right at home, all opening up in ways you’d rarely witness otherwise.

So all that being said, Fecking Bahamas is actually beyond excited that Cult and Culture are putting out a compilation in collaboration with Smashed Plastic,featuring clips from the show as well as a ton of great music, including this legendary Swing Kids joint streaming over on the site.

Cult & Culture Podcast Episode 58 feat. Everything is Terrible

Part 4 of the Oak Cliff Film Festival series wherein Luke and Justin interview Nick and Dimitri, two members of the absurdist found footage art collective Everything Is Terrible. The film they submitted for this festival is called "Animals Are Over!" and can be summed up as "overwhelming" and "America's Funniest Home Videos on acid," which is generally in line with their chaotic approach to art. They discuss "DoggieWoggiez! PoochieWoochiez!" which is Everything is Terrible's insane hour long homage to Holy Mountain made up entirely of found footage of dogs, the Dadaist/surrealism of their performances, the way in which they treat the collective like a punk band (touring in a van, selling merch, and performing as a spectacle alongside their audio and visual collages), as well as how they were able to establish a name for themselves through unconventional means, such as collecting thousands of Jerry Maguire VHS tapes. They draw connections between nostalgia and fascism, the political nature of their work, and the way that they use comedy to lighten the horrifying weight of some of the footage they have to sift through.

To check out the entire episode go to Three One G’s YouTube channel, or whatever unethical source you get your podcasts from. The podcast is part of Ruinous Media.

Swing Kids - Anthology (Black shell cassette limited to 100)
https://threeoneg.com/archive/vinyl/anthology

Swing Kids formed in the mid 90’s out of a mix of obscure punk, hardcore, and geography-specific social politics. The band, made up of Justin Pearson, Jose Palafox, John Brady and Eric Allen drew inspiration from jazz and swing era ethics, creating a strand of genre-defying music. The band was short-lived, documenting their entire existence in a handful of songs/releases over a couple of years. The band did their last few shows recruiting Jimmy Lavalle to play second guitar. Then the unexpected happened; guitarist and founding member of Swing Kids and Unbroken, Eric Allen, took his own life. Over a decade later, and Eric still lives on in his music.

One of Three One G’s earliest releases was Swing Kids’ S/T 7” EP, which featured four original tracks as well as a harsh version of Joy Division’s “Warsaw”. Soon after the band released this EP, they followed up with a split 10” EP with Spanakorzo, which shared band member John Brady. After a few short tours and a jaunt over to Europe, the band called it quits due to drummer Jose Palafox relocating to the Bay Area. Swing Kids did manage to track one last song, “El Camino Car Crash” which is the additional track on the digital follow-up of the band’s entire collection, simply titled “Discography”. Over the years, this nine-song collection would become a staple for the Three One G community. After the sudden and immense loss of founding member Eric Allen, the band reformed to play two charity shows in his memory, and the documentation of this final chapter was a self-titled 7” single featuring an updated version of “Situation on Mars” as well as a new track titled, “Fake Teeth”. All of these tracks have been remastered by Brent Asbury and are in one physical release, the complete “Anthology”.
