EARLY MAN/IT'S CASUAL 7" SONG PREVIEW & PRE-ORDER!

2012-04-23T04:30:00.000-07:00

PRE-ORDER NOW HERE

Own a piece of music history. This is the first release on Mike Conte's new label "Demon Problems" which includes a brand new 5 minute Early Man song of the same name that was written, produced, recorded and mixed by Mike and mastered by the master himself Piers Baron with whom Mike has collaborated most recently for the Volcom 9191 video and the Flip Skateboards Extremely Sorry video. The song is the first recording with drummer Trevor Martin and Tsuzumi Okai on bass.

The record is a split with LA's impossibly loud hardcore/punk duo It's Casual (http://www.itscasual.tv/). Their side includes 2 ripping tracks (produced and engineered by Billy Anderson) entitled "Suffering" and "Father To Me".

Check out It's Casual' s mega-viral-success video for their song "The Red Line" which set the internet on fire so much so that The Huffington Post wrote an article about it. The video was directed by Rick Kosick (Jackass, MTV’s Wildboyz and Big Brother skateboarding magazine photographer):

And if all of that awesomeness isn't enough for you then think about this little extra tidbit: The cover of the record comes packaged as a 7x7" cloth DIY silkscreened patch on either side for each band! This pressing is limited to 1,000 hand numbered copies for the world. Patches and vinyl are black like your soul. RECORD WILL SEE A STREET RELEASE DATE ON MAY 22nd, 2012. PRE-ORDER NOW!! (Early Man front cover patch pictured above).

2011-08-01T11:45:00.000-07:00

As stated in the prior post I'm composing for a new show on the Cartoon Network called "Secret Mountain Fort Awesome". I've been working on this for a few months. Show is really funny and there are plenty of heavy riffs as well as various other things going on in each episode musically. There is a sneak peak airing of an episode tonight on the Cartoon Network at 8:30PM. The picture above is the main character in the show, his name is Festro. Anyway, watch (and listen) TONIGHT! - Mike
