Wormwood, Wet Cats, and Kissing Hands sold extremely well in the Youth Attack webstore, selling in about 3 hours. Lots of orders came flocking in afterwards.

Things seemed to have changed here with one of our releases. It appears that our most anticipated release, Granite Pace from Anthony Pappalardo will not be happening any longer due to personal problems within Anthony's life. We wish him the best of luck and hope that he will be able to have future releases through us, as well as his musical moniker, Italian Horn. On that note, we made Mini CD$s to accompany Granite Pace, and now they have no partner. We will put them in the store for only 1$. Note that these are Mini CDs and that they were created from our computers, but they are only an edition of 100 and are Italian Horn's first official release. They will definately be sought after soon. We will charge no shipping for these. So tack on one extra dollar to your orders.

In lew of losing Granite Pace, we now have two new releases planned.

First is A SNARL FROM THE KNAVES, A PUSH FROM THE PLAGUES by Luc Rioual. I have come to respect Luc's writing and this release is sure to take you into the bedbug ridden life that Luc lives.

We also our proud to announce an upcoming cassette from Houston outlet HORDERS. These will be a proprinted tape edition of 100.
