HARDCORE SHUFFLE: NEW LABELS FOR EXPIRE, THE BEAUTIFUL ONES

HARDCORE SHUFFLE: NEW LABELS FOR EXPIRE, THE BEAUTIFUL ONESExpire first came to my attention this year with the Suffer The Cycle 7″ for 6131 Records. Clearly, I wasn’t the only one to notice this solid effort, as Bridge Nine has just announced that the Midwest hardcore band will release their debut full-length for the label in 2012. While we wait, B9 isn’t wasting time in merchandising the moment, and already have an Expire t-shirt for sale. I presume it will be available when they hit Europe with labelmates Foundation later this month. (Dates below.)

HARDCORE SHUFFLE: NEW LABELS FOR EXPIRE, THE BEAUTIFUL ONESStill, if I may be permitted to abuse a tired phrase, when one door closes, another opens. 6131 has just announced a new signing of its own: The Beautiful Ones. No word whether or not these guys are big Prince fans, but their 2011 demo–which you can listen to for free, fool–contains no trace of Paisley Park funk. Fans of Cruel Hand and Trapped Under Ice should take notice, because this is definitely in that wheelhouse. Expect their debut EP in “early 2012” according to the 6131 blog.
