Hail!Hornet is a warning that southern sludge is getting thicker and meaner, and no matter how tight you wear your boots, it's going to lock hold and suck your ass right on in. You can conjure in your mind what Hail!Hornet is going to sound like on paper, but they exceed your expectations by twisting chains around their knuckles and smashing windows, bricks and teeth on their self-titled debut album, one that loops theories from each of its constituents and creates a bare-boned, bourbon-breathed (to paraphrase "He Who Walks Behind the Rose Bros.") swamp rat of an album that's going to be mandatory for the mud mutants who trip out on this stuff. ...

A long running rumor of a band previously called Vagabond that came to light in the spring/ summer of 2006. Here's how it went - Troy asks Vince, Vince asks Erik, Troy asks Dixie, all say yes ! Vince gathers Riffs and lights off the MIG 100, Erik beats the Christ out of the drums and Dixie drinks bourbon and bitch-slaps the Fender 'P'...then we all drink bourbon ! Troy spits blood, we all drink more bourbon ! Get chased out of shed by hornets that Dixie pissed off... hence the name ...more bourbon. Mission accomplished !

US CHRISTMAS "EAT THE LOW DOGS" VINYL AVAILABLE NOW FOR PRE-ORDER
USX full-length, Eat the Low Dogs, features nine carefully engineered tracks designed to thicken the surrounding air blasting out of countless headphones and speakers worldwide. A multitude of effects intensifies the experience leaving one wondering what kind of sick yet talented musical minds are capable of creating such controlled chaos. Eat The Low Dogs is an amalgam of fury and grit, with a heavy dose of Appalachian angst for good measure, and should be enjoyed at the loudest volume possible for maximum intensity.
The official release date for Eat the Low Dogs will be November 24th. I'm Better Than Everyone Records is ecstatic to have been given the opportunity to give this record a long awaited vinyl release. This will be our first double album as well! The run on these will be at 500, with 400 being on thick black vinyl. There will be an extremely limited run of 100 copies that will be on blue and dark red vinyl, with each record having a different color layout.

New Orleans' EYEHATEGOD have spent the last two decades at odds with a corrupt music industry, using their music as a proverbial middle finger aimed at everything from government officials to sanctimonious shitheads hiding behind organized religion. They have defied all odds and continue to exist and persist despite personal and professional setbacks, from drug addiction to natural disasters. In the midst of all this turmoil EYEHATEGOD have become the high water mark when it comes to "sludge metal", having birthed rock's unholy bastard feasting on the teat that Black Sabbath and Black Flag built.
"Confederacy of Ruined Lives" is their fourth and latest studio album, released in late 2000. I'm Better Than Everyone Records is extremely proud and honored to collaborate with EYEHATEGOD and finally give this a proper vinyl release.
The release date for this record will be Tuesday, October 22nd. There are 2 separate editions. One is on black vinyl(edition of 400), and the other is on white vinyl with black and tan splatter(limited edition of 100). Pre-orders are up now at: imbetterthaneveryonerecords.com</FON
