GSR004: Negative Standards - I-V 10"

Greetings once again from sunny and occasionally tear-gassy Oakland, CA!

We’re extremely excited to announce that GSR 004 is ready for consumption: Negative Standards’ punishing I-V EP pressed onto the blackest vinyl. These already pummeling recordings have been given new layers of sonic depth and total soul krush by Dan Randall of Mammoth Sound Mastering.

In order to make this possible, we are extremely grateful to our collaborators, fellow labels Halo of Flies and Cop Grave Records. Cut into 10’’ of vinyl, the release features re-scaled art from the original cassette version, a 10x10 insert/poster, and a download card. 




With a new full-length out on Germany’s Vendetta Records, Negative Standards is all set to embark on a full tour of the U.S. and the Autonomous Nation of Quebec. To that end, we’ll be closing down the GSR distro for the next month and half or so and taking our wares on the road. You can purchase the I-V 10” from us at these shows, or if you just can’t wait to mail order these, they’ll be available from Halo of Flies while we’re indisposed.
