What better way to belatedly celebrate two years of everybody's favourite Adelaide live recording label and/or burgeoning media dilettantes than with a tasty cassette? This premium hot mustard number comes with sexy printed sides, a small printing error, and the resources to help you lie-brag about going to shows you weren't there for years from now when the bands are huge.
"Oh yeah man, I totally saw them way back when, think they only had like two singles out and there were twenty people there, it was sick."
Because it's only a modest run of 100, well, it'll be our little secret.

We've been kicking around for a while now, but over the last year or so we've heard the same kind of question: "are you guys still doing things?"
We've been working our butts off, thank you very much; we just don't really have anything to show for it.
As it turns out, there are plenty of complications with recording and distributing live sets, one in particular being the unpredictability of everything. Couple of technical problems? That's a write-off. Artist doesn't like the finished product? Write-off. They've got something new coming out and don't want to be repre- well, you get the picture.
That's where the magic of the compilation comes in. Like a big heaping plate of Christmas leftovers, Two Years of Rad Jams offers up a packed hour of some of the best cuts from acts we recorded throughout 2015 and 2016, without any of the issues that – for one reason or another – resulted in them not seeing the light of day until now.
We're really stoked that you finally get to hear what's been sitting in our archives collecting disk space; we'd like to think it was worth the wait.
…And it if wasn't, hey, too bad.
(I didn't notice how similar to Loveless it looked until it was done, get off my back)

This is a true psych rock gem. Delightful vocals, solid songwriting from begging to end, great production; And Frontal Lobe is a damn heavy track. I don't know what's going on down there in Australia but it's keeping rock alive. apocrita
