Towers / Take Down Your Art - Split - ORANGE COLORED VINYL 10" (Somberlain)

$10.99

Long rumored, multiple delayed, barely existent split 10" from Philly’s TOWERS and TAKE DOWN YOUR ART. The drama and back-story to this is too complicated to truly delve into, but basically this release was almost doomed... that is until we got our grubby mitts on the salvaged copies of this thing. Almost FIVE years in the making, this was originally supposed to be a 9" record but things got all weird along the way. Here’s our brief description from when we briefly had the cassette version of this split years ago:

Recorded with Steve Roche in May, 2005, TAKE DOWN YOUR ART contribute two songs that accompany five brutal anthems from TOWERS.

Basically this is the burly space/sludge/screamo heyday-era of TOWERS mixed with the full-on emo violence of TDYA (ex-A PEDAL FALLEN, pre-PYRAMIDS) with plenty of love for Hunter S. Thompson. Apparently less than 300 of these 10"s even exist, and no other distro has ever had copies of this! Comes on orange colored vinyl.

While the impetus behind my inclination towards bands like Eyehategod and their ilk is better left to the ruminating psychologist, it’s evident to even those safely distanced, Take as Needed for Pain bleeds with a purifying sort of torment. There just has not been a band who have mainlined (pun intended) the heart of t...
