--------------> 2011 - 2012 <-------------
"By the 2030's, the nonbiological portion of our intelligence will predominate..." - Ray Kurzweil
----------->summer eleven <----------Latest updates here The future holds the following endeavors in its midst.... ----------->spring '11 <----------Latest updates here - Speaking of garbage, HDC and shapeDENTER are honored to receive what could possibly be one of the most amazing reviews of recent years.... Check out what punk stalwarts - Terminal Boredom says about shape D ---->
Shape Denter "Demo'O" CDR - Notice how this very record... or CDR, nearly crushes him under the shear weight of its nonsense.... Personally, as an advocate of shapeDENTER's nonsense, I think this RK fellow doesn't quite know what to make of s.d.'s incredible skills as musicians.... Little does anybody know that shapeD is 100% improv... that's right, right there on the spot, with only a few smatterings of dusted nanos sprinkled amidst the writhing tension.... Impressed? Maybe.... Excited? Very..... - On a secondary note, L.U.N.A.R. Revolt take a cue from fellow brethren and break all boundaries between fashion and weather with their new "one-armed-night-wind" long/short tee... (pictured above) - And, there's the Bad News Bats who are planning a one-sided 12" release sometime in the early fall.... Listen to some new stuff at the link provided hindforth... "No more blah, blah, blah!" - Captain Kirk -----------> march '11 <----------Latest updates here - Columboid - "Cruise On Your Own" (Columboid also has a wicked new LP on la-soc out now) - shapeDENTER - "Demo'o" - cassette version of the now infamous demo - re-enhanced with extras... - L.U.N.A.R. Revolt - "tba" - debut tunes from this mystery band... - And, we think that maybe, possibly, the Bad News Bats LP might be ready for pressing soon... "There's no use in going to school unless your final destination is the library..." - Ray Bradbury -----------> winter '10 | '11 <----------Latest updates here - Just in time for your new years party, shapeDENTER has offered up 20 individual covers- extra tracks-extended-future version of their now infamous 'demo'o'... order it up and the 1st 20 S.D. fans will be the hit of the holiday season. Overheard at an office party: Also, Columboid's new record is coming along... sounding radical... look for it from Lasoc in March. Ohhh, L.U.N.A.R. Revolt is the latest loud-future-space-rock in the vein of John Carpenter, Vangelis.. And - Dressed Like Stolen Cars have a demo available at bandcamp ------> "et cetera, et cetera, et cetera..." - Yul Brynner -----------> Autumn '10 <----------Latest updates here - We won't lie to you...this shape DENTER - "demo'o" is red hot and flying off the single shelf of records we have in an otherwise empty room.... But fear not, you can still grip up on one right here at our merch page, or download it somewhere. the best cryptocurrency brokers in the UK Expect a full length of proper recordings and a trilogy and soundtrack to an insane movie short titled: "unicorn men" in the future... - Holy shit, if you missed "bi-mensional d'motion shunt" then that's too bad... you'll have to check out some of this amazing art at D'NOIT airbrush headquarters. You'll find some wicked items, as well as a righteous review at beautiful decay's website.... The peaceful traveler site has some new editions as well.... There are other sounds afoot... stay tuned. "A subtle thought that is in error may yet give rise to fruitful inquiry that can establish truths of great value." - Isaac Asimov -----------> September '10 <----------Latest updates here - Here's a smattering of a few tracks from the forthcoming demo, available first at - "bi-mensional d'motion shunt" - a possible futures & science-faction event at the Shadows Space Gallery above KFN in Philadelphia - 9 | 03 | 10 (6-10) ---> 10 | 31 |10. -------------------------------- - "A life jacket will at least keep you floating." - John Carpenter ----------> july '10 <----------Latest updates here - A good job is in order for Nymph, who have navigated the thick, creamy sea-foam that is the record industry and landed themselves with the rad people at The Social Registry. Look for a tour and such in September. - On that note - Columboid will be releasing their LP thru La Soc, and the digits of their cassette "Cruise On Your Own" will be made available thru HDC. - Doomtown Records - Baby Tears | Church of Gravitron | Perry H. Matthews will all be made available at your favorite source very soon. - We mentioned Sporting Life, which is sound master Terry Yerves' band... they're doing a 7", soon. For now. - "I don't give a fuck about your war... or your President." - Snake Plisskin ----------> june 2010 <----------Latest updates here -shapeDENTER is next up on the list with a solid demo to lend. They'll have it in stock in a few, and will be helping to curate and soundtrack a wicked art show (art?) above Kung Fu Necktie - Shadow Space Gallery. The show will feature a few HDC regulars & bypassers, as well as some musicians (music?) throwing their shit up on the wall. We got -> Ethan Montgomery | Kerry Kenney | FNU Veil / Jim Vail | Peaceful Traveler | Outlaw Print Co. | Shayna Nagel | Brendan Gavin | Jesse Van Anglen | Jaime Rocklage | Cassandra Longstreth | etc.... more later. - New LPs that are able-bodied. - Super tech guy and sound engineer wizard for The National, Terry Yerves, has a band in San Francisco with some dudes. They are called Sporting Life, they jam a la Smiths / Replacements style, they got a 7" coming up soon... - The oracles of Omaha - Doomtown Records are good buddies Ethan & company setting forth a capitalist effort that will surely fail monetarily, but will most definitely bring about some sorely needed punk to their local scene. Check out their site, enjoy their tunes, look for them digitally soon via HDC. - And some shit talking - Free Energy is not a good band, leaving vowels out of your band name when there is no abbreviation is moronic, modern day "jangly" indie rock is incredibly boring, the internet hype machine only breeds dudes with lame clothes and hairstyles, blogs releasing records is stupid, just because the type of music you play is what you think is best - does not make it so, saying you can't practice/play a show because of enjoyment of professional sports is not acceptable, appropriating various indigenous cultures (native americans, gypsies, etc.) to enhance your music and dress is repulsive & ignorant, hating on your local scene is the only way to stay real, supporting your local scene is the only way to go... oh, and sucking at playing your instrument and becoming popular because you suck.. and i mean suck really bad, sucking with purpose, only puts you in a separate category known as "turd rock" or "yam jams", on that same note - showing off your weak ass chops is vain and idiotic - blow your load in your hand- not on your regal tip.... the middle path is one way to go - mediocrity. "I can't sit back and swallow stuff. i live in a time and place, and in a country on earth where you're not supposed to swallow it. People just gave up." - Gary Coleman. ----------> VERNAL 2010 <----------Latest updates here -Bad News Bats is finishing up a long awaited album. Look out for a song or 2 and some shows in the coming months. - Loving Thunder is no more, but their LP is a great rocking-psych-power-jam of a record. Out real soon via digital enterprises, and perhaps physically in the future. You can order a show - cdr - nice stencil cover at the merch page. - Nymph is out on the road at the end of april, and with an insane gatefold 3-sided lp they released themselves on Dog of Junipers, their own label. Digitally thru HDC. - & etc., etc.... Many other things happening. Stay tuned. "Nothing brings people together more than mutual hatred." - Henry Rollins ----------> february/march twenty ten <----------Latest updates here - And here are a bunch of new releases, most of them without a physical release. We are not avid supporters of the corporate digital mp3 structure, but that's ok for now... - We got 1776 checking in with a slice of rockness which holds up the year in which it is named for. Don't be fooled by this name, there is another 1776 from Portland, but no one cares except them... and maybe their label which is run by those lame dudes in the Dandy Warholes.... You should get into this, and the vinyl which is out via Aerodrome Records. This record feature bill of Federation X, and Sterling "ster-bra" of Loving Thunder/Aerodrome. And Loving Thunder is not forgotten, with a new album on the way in some form, and will be available thru HDC. And again - KARP documentary coming soon from Bill and Molasses Manifesto. - Furthermore, good buddy Matty's band NYMPH is on the road here and there, and soon to have a gatefold double disc vinyl output via their own label - another dog label -> Dog Of Junipers and digitally thru HDC. - And a possible band that is impossible... the HARDfacts are working hard but slowly moving. There's a few snippets of activity on their 4th tier website here. - New maps @ peaceful traveler's site - www.peacefultraveler.org - Ryan and Russell of Coyote have teamed up withawesome dude Neil to form Columboid... they have been crushing tunes for sometime now and do a super rad live show. they gotta tape - here.

Cronus. "You dont get something for nothing, you cant have freedom for free, you wont get wise, with the sleep still in your eyes, no matter what your dreams might be..." - Neil Peart ----------> autumnal forecast '09 <----------Latest updates here - In other related news, Aerodrome Records is Sterling from Loving Thunder / 1776's label, also located in Seattle.

Coyote has layed it to rest, but charges on in spirit with Nymph and Palm Psalms and Columboid.... Gang is still shredding the east coast, and Kmass has moved to l.a. for obvious reasons. London Victory Club is Kmass other show with Chuck from P.M.B. and Bad News Bats, something?... okay! Thangs is Handsome and Krash doing it... together and Darkblack is out in pdx shredding. "Golf courses sell real estate and that's why they're built." - Ed McMahon ----------> Spring 09 <----------Latest updates here Anyways, we're pretty excited about this milestone in HDC history. In these troubled times, there's often nowhere to turn... so spend your last dollar on a big-juicy-plumpy hot dog, and revel in the boisterous delight of humanity at a crossroads. The crossroads of a completely insane future. But seriously, at this time we would like to take the time to spend the time with you, and thank you, the listener, and you, the bands, and other labels/distributors/record stores/radio/zines/etc. & friends for the support. As a small label who almost never profits from these activities, we are grateful to have any supporters at all. Our steadfast commitment to help document musicians/artists & friends, Philadelphians and elsewhere, will remain true for as long as possible.

Not much happening except positive-uplifting-optimistic occasions... the following of which may or may not be happening.... ----------> February 2008 <----------- OK everybody, its no surprise this country is and has been in the toilet for some time now. That’s why it’s the perfect time to harness the fortitude it will take to reclaim the streets. But don’t look here for any leadership, we're too busy preparing for 2012. If we should make it thru this remarkable phenomenon, surely vinyl will be the reliable format able to withstand the harsh elements of a relentless mother nature... more vinyl releases on the way. - Forthcoming -> ----------> 2008 <----------- Media page up with a few videos of days past, soon to be future, presently optimistic. ----------> Fall 2007 <----------Coyote - "Outsides" cd-lp street date 11/20Release shows - Johnny Brondo's 11/23 - Cake Shop NYC - 12/7 Mtn.

HDC is celebrating the 5th year since its inception, and its 10th year since its realization. The music with forth dates back to the year 1997, when the first of HDC releases transpired. This takes us even further back in time to the days of Franklin, Fracture, Hell Nation, Spanky Wonton, etc…. Enjoy and partake in this musical triumph... revel in disgust, or merely shrug and sigh with indifference. ---------------> april 2007 <--------------Seasonal tidings, species of the world. As you can see, we got a new shade of brown... a darker, more legendary hue... the color which, within its grasp, contains the entire infinite spectrum of colors known to man, including ones which have not been discovered. ---------------> Feb/March 2007 <--------------The former update really can't be beaten, so we'll keep this short. We got shows, phenomenal shows. We got the GANG ep release show, an HDC "showcase" of sorts, and various other jams throughout the northeast corridor. Check 'em on the "concerts" page. ----------------> Winter 2006 <--------------- Greetings from the label synonymous with music and music related topics, fashion, and miscellaneous items. HDC's steadfast commitment to the Philadelphia music scene is one under looked, overrated, and evenly surpassed by the majority. ---------------> Autumn 2006 <---------------Many rumors surrounding HDC as of late… News of a dormant King God returning to the environment, crushing and pulverizing the scenic byways. Coyote is finishing up their debut album, excitement swells… And Mtn. High works overtime on a full-length long-player… Enjoy this last few days of warmth and color... Support independent musicians/artists... Spay or neuter your pets...
