LABEL NEWS: Welcome to the RESIDUE RECORDS website/webstore.

RESIDUE RECORDS has just released DIVINE RIGHT - Pray for Me EP! The newest and rawest punk/hardcore band out of Chicago, DIVINE RIGHT debuts their first 5 song EP. Can’t say enough about this band… Pissed-off angry hardcore that leaves you wanting more. RESIDUE RECORDS pressed 650 with only 100 Gray/Silver Colored Vinyl to be sold to the first 100 orders. This record will move fast and these 5 songs hit you like a ton of bricks.

RESIDUE RECORDS:

*HERDS - Michigan EP. What a hard hitting record… amazingly tight, aggressive, noisy hardcore that builds and builds into a violent storm of sound. Hauntingly dark lyrics about the decay and destruction of four cities in the state of Michigan that ends up feeling like a metaphor for the death of American prosperity. HERDS have really hit their mark on this recording…a perfect follow-up to their amazing LP out last year on Fashionable Idiots Records. RESIDUE RECORDS pressed 650 with only a handful of 100 Dark Green Colored Vinyl still available.

*OTTAWA- 12″ Re-Issue (from the groundbreaking 12″ from 1994!!!) Limited pressing of only a 750 copies with an amazing new master and mix plus new artwork! It has been selling very fast and is down to about 40 copies. This is one of the darkest and most brutal sounding bands to ever come out of Detroit since Negative Approach. A true hidden classic that blends the speed of early grindcore with a painful hardcore precision… No fucking 90’s emo on this ripper! So many people missed out hearing this record back over the last 16 years… do not sleep on this record! This record will not be re-pressed and expect this to be sold out by the end of the year.

*DAYLIGHT ROBBERY- Though the Confusion LP is extremely close to selling out. Following the brilliant Red Tape EP from last year, DAYLIGHT ROBBERY recorded one of my favorite records I’ve heard in a long time. Dark, intense and insanely catchy- they don’t miss a beat on this record! The first pressing has a total of 750 which is down to about 35 copies.

*CANADIAN RIFLE Facts EP is moving fast. This band can really do no wrong. Following up their amazing LP last year, this new EP has one of the best songs they have ever written (Blank Trade) and hit it hard with two of the fastest songs they have ever recorded on the B-side. Taken By Surprise Records from Germany will release the Euro version of this record and the USA version is limited to 650!

*DEFECT DEFECT 12″ * & *CANADIAN RIFLE- Visibility Zero LP* are both Sold Out! Both bands have copies available for upcoming tours this Spring and it might still be available through great distros like Ebullition, Punk n Junk, Grave Mistake, Feral Ward, Taken By Surprise, PukeNVomit, etc…

******LIMITED RECORDS and available pressings of RESIDUE RECORDS RELEASES as of November, 2011:

*OTTAWA- 12″ Re-Issue is down to about 40 copies. It will not be re-pressed so get it now!

*DAYLIGHT ROBBERY Though the Confusion LP has less than 40 copies total for the 750 first press. This record will not be re-pressed since they are working on a new LP this Winter/Spring with a 3-way label split release (RESIDUE, Taken By Surprise, and No Options Records).

*CANADIAN RIFLE- Facts EP has about 150 left of the 650 USA press. Expect this one to be gone soon and look for a new LP by these guys sometime soon! Not to mention they will play your town, look for them on the road in 2012.

*SACRED SHOCK- You’re Not With Us. LP has only around 100 left of the total 1100 press (200 on color are sold out). Will not be re-pressed. Hands down the best record of 2009… 6- Year End Top Tens- MRR 2009.

*NO SLOGAN- Aversion Therapy LP has about 75 left of the total pressing of 750. They have broken up after their last Euro tour so this maybe your only chance to hear one of the best punk bands to ever come out of Chicago. Do not miss out on this amazing record!

*DAYLIGHT ROBBERY Red Tape EP There are only 35 copies left of the 750 total pressed (150 colored vinyl sold out). The second press of the Washtenaw EP is also available here at the webstore. There is only 50 left of two pressings of 950 total . Pick both up before they’re long gone.

*SOLID DECLINE/ RUIDOSA INMUNDICIA Split LP There are only 50 copies left of the 650 total pressed. A great and overlooked record by two great European bands. Pick it up before they’re long gone.

*PEDESTRIANS Killing Season EP There are only 40 copies left of the 1000 total pressed. Last recording by this band and will not be re-pressed.

DISTRO: Will be looking to add a distro list of records in the near future to be sold … but RESIDUE has Council Records records that are posted and can be purchased here! Thanks! And hope you pick some records up!

****Right now the paypal buttons will allow you to purchase a record with the mailing cost included. So, you might think that the record is expensive at $5.50/ $6.00 for an EP or $10.50/ $11.50 an LP, but in fact that includes shipping and saves you .50 cents per EP and $1 per LP compared to all on-line distros I have encountered. Almost every new release will have 50-100 colored vinyl available for the first buyers. This will make it easier for people to get the limited versions of RESIDUE titles.****
