A reblog would be deadly. Need those dates booked.
..aside from posting all the “ambient guitar” noodlings and Codeine rip-off demos, a detailed update about Mr.Grimes’ post Drainland hardcore/grind/whatever project is going to be posted pretty soon. Get ready.
and here
couple of new bits landed in what I laughing refer to as “the distro”:
all 7”s €4: contact suburbanmayhemrex@gmail.com for ordering/availability
CYBORG / THE AFTERNOON GENTLEMEN split 7” (Cyborg = Weekend Nachos members/TAG = long running UK novelty grindcore)
EXTORTION / JED WHITEY split 7” (The wizards of Oz)

GRINDING HALT / SUFFERING QUOTA split 7” (Dutch massacre - GH continue being amazing. SQ= excellent new grind with an lp coming on Reflections. Highly recommended)
PICK YOUR SIDE 7” (Ex Haymaker. Oh, sorry, you missed that? EX HAYMAKER)
new Feast of Tentacles, SuperFi and H13 jamz on t’way

The ABSOLUTIST lp is currently being repressed and should be here within a fortnight.
In other news: I’ve got some personal bidness going on this month (I’m getting hitched) so expect delays with emails in the next three weeks or so
IMPORTANT: It appears some of the copies of “Ave” by Absolutist we were sent are faulty - if you have recieved a faulty copy PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP on suburbanmayhemrex@gmail.com with details and if possible a photo of the record.
If anyone has any spare lp mailers knocking around please drop me a line at suburbanmayhemrex@gmail.com - the great cardboard drought of 2012 at Suburban Mayhem HQ (thanks to a “helpful” family member dumping about 50 lp mailers in the recycling during a visit) is reaching crisis point! I’m off down Tesco’s skip to forage some boxes..
hey!so all the Drainland/Crows preorders are finally out, and Absolutist lps go in the mail tomorrow. Thanks again for all your orders!
Between now and Friday 13th April 2012 you can order the Drainland/Crows split 7” and Absolutist “Ave” lp for €15 postpaid anywhere worldwide from here. Just click on the cart. It’s listed as €10 and postage should automatically be added at €5 regardless of where you are - any problems with this, please let us know.
Also, while I’m waiting for soundcloud to stop being a dick, new podcast here, though it’s already out of date having been recorded a month ago. Shit’s been hectic.. Absolutist interview and some tunes:
Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, Suburban Mayhem will no longer be involved in the release of Enabler’s “All Hail The Void” lp after all. It was an extremely difficult decision and I’d like to thank both Tim at Phobiact and Jeff/Enabler for their understanding.To say I’m disappointed is an understatement, but alas there was no other option open to us at the moment but to pull out.
For the benefit of the folks out there in internet land who’ve been mailing/facebooking/tweeting me about it in the last 7 days:
DRAINLAND have not split up. They are not as far as I’m aware on some kind of hiatus. They are in the process of getting a new line up sorted and will no doubt make their plans with said new line up public when they are ready to do so. They’ve actually confirmed on their facebook page in the last 24 hours that they’re not breaking up or on hiatus, so seriously, give it a rest folks.
I have a new band called COALINGA which I’ll provide more detail on when the time is right to do so (which won’t be much longer). So that should indicate to those of you who’ve asked that no, I’m not going to be rejoining Drainland and yes, I have left permanently. Therefore if you have any queries for that band please do not direct them to me any longer, and instead contact drainlandband@gmail.com
That is all.

ABSOLUTIST lp and DRAINLAND/CROWS split 7” are available via Into The Void records right now.Go buy.
Lengthy and much delayed “proper” update in the next day or so,promise.
