Hi. So it's been sometime between posts/releases. The news in exact order is this:

* After a killer Australian tour - Damage Digital sold out of the 200 copies printed last year - if I get enough interest I will do up another 50-100. So let me know.

*Insect Warfare Tape is in the mail as we speak. It's been a year of planning and waiting but it's finally coming. Amazing band - they have a full length coming out within the next year on 625 so check it out.

*Local thrash band inspired by classic Australian thrash like Mass Appeal/Meanies/Hard On's from Melbourne Called "Cut Sick" will be putting together some new tracks on IdgetcHild....if you like your thrash about falling off your skateboard and hating life then you will dig.

*Pure Evil Trio will soon be sending in some newer material for an EP on Idget Child hopefully very soon. If you haven't heard of or know this Local Sydney band then you are missing out. Fans of freakish noise and good ol fashioned powerviolence will enjoy. These 3 chaps have been representing DIY sydney punk for ages now. Beautiful stuff.

*Grover, frontman from True Radical Miracle will also be doing a tape full of intense sounds as a split with some more local noise heads - watch out for this one as it will be coming and going very quick. Clear tapes with clear stickers on cover, 100 press...and 100 only!!

HELLO. WELCOME TO THE IDGET CHILD COLONY. MY INTETION FOR IDGET CHILD IS TO RELEASE QUALITY LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL MUSIC ON FORMATS THAT DEFY YOUR AVERAGE CD. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD AN EARNEST LOVE FOR DECENT QUALITY TAPES AND I ADMIRE THE WAY TAPE LABELS IN AREAS SUCH AS SE.ASIA HAVE CONTINUED TO FUNCTION. NOT ONLY ARE THEY OFTEN MORE AFFORDABLE, BUT WITH THE PROPER ATTENTION CAN ALSO MANAGE TO LOOK QUITE STRIKING. I REFUSE TO HAVE SOMETHING HALFASSED ON IDGET CHILD AND I ASSURE MYSELF (AND ASSHOLES EVERYWHERE) – BADLY PUT TOGETHER TAPES OR HOME DUBBING WILL NOT BE APART OF THIS INSTITUTION! HA! USELESS RELEASES ARE SPREADING LIKE AN EPIDEMIC AND I WOULD PREFER TO NOT ADD FUEL TO ANY FIRE. IN ANY CASE, IDGET CHILD IS FAR FROM INTERESTED IN EXPANDING AN EMPIRE AND I COULDN’T CARE LESS ABOUT LACKLUSTER SCENES – MUSIC AND ART ARE THE ONLY REASONS COMPELLING ME TO DO THIS. R.I.P ODB.

OUT NOW:

IC-001 "SELF MADE GOD" COLLECTION TAPE.
SMG REIGN FROM SERDANG, MALAYSIA - AN AREA KNOWN FOR PRODUCING QUALITY AND INSPIRING RAW PUNK. THIS COLLECTION CONSISTS OF 19 SONGS OF HIGH ENERGY GRINDCORE FROM RELEASES THAT MAY REQUIRE HARDWORK TO TRACK DOWN IN AUSTRALIA, LET ALONE THE WORLD. THE SMG SOUND IS VERY VERY RAW AND MAY NOT PLEASE THE EARS OF KIDS LOOKING FOR THAT TECH, TRIGGERED, FLAT SOUNDING NOISE - THIS IS UNPOLISHED AND IMPORTANT. BESIDES THIS, IT REFLECTS THE SOUND COMING FROM MALAYSIA AND SE ASIA IN GENERAL. FOR FANS OF FLAT OUT DIY POLITICAL PUNK. THE COVER ART IS ALSO MASTERED BY THE PEN AND HAND OF MR GLENN SMITH - A TRUE INSPIRATION. FIRST PRESS MAY 2006 - 100 COPIES ON RED TAPES.


1C-002 "DAMAGE DIGITAL" MOSS ALBUM.
I FIRST HAD THE PLEASURE OF HEARING D.D WHEN MVC (USA) RE-ISSUED MOSS ON LP IN 2005. IT'S A PUNISHING COLLECTION OF NOISE AND IN MY OPINION IS A CLASSIC GRIND ALBUM. THESE SONGS WERE SELF RELEASED BY THE BAND AS A CD-R IN JAPAN ONLY. AS ANY REMOTE FAN OF UNDERGROUND MUSIC WILL TELL YOU, THE JAPANESE REALLY KNOW HOW TO CHURN OUT ORIGINAL AND BIZARRE SOUNDS AND IN THIS CASE "MOSS" IS NO DIFFERENT - 17 SONGS OF OUT OF CONTROL GRINDCORE IN THE SAME VEIN AS EARLY ERA DISCORDANCE AXIS RELEASES. THE SNARE DRUM IS SO HIGH AND POPPY IT'S CRAZY - I'M UTTERLY IN LOVE. I FEEL THAT ANYONE INTERESTED IN NEW SOUNDS SHOULD SERIOUSLY LOOK INTO THIS BAND. YES, IT WILL PLEASE THE FAST FREAKS - BUT FOR ME THERE IS MORE GOING ON THEN JUST BLASTBEATS AND GRIND. FIRST PRESS MAY 2006 - 100 COPIES ON WHITE TAPES. NEW COVER FOR THE IDGET CHILD RE-ISSUE.

COMING SOON :

"INSECT WARFARE" DISCOGRAPHY TAPE.
INSECT WARFARE ARE HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING GRINDCORE BANDS TO COME OUT OF USA (TEXAS) IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. WORKING WITH 625THRASH (USA) AND RSR (EUROPE), IDGET CHILD IS PUTTING OUT THE AUSTRALIAN TAPE OF THE BANDS WORKS THUS FAR. THE INSECT SOUND IS A SAVAGE BLEND OF GRIND AND METAL. ON THEIR FIRST 7" THEY THANKED EARLY EARACHE RELEASES - JUST SO YOU GET A SLIGHT IDEA OF WHERE THIS BAND IS COMING FROM. MORE INFO SOON - OCTOBER 2006 SCHEDULED RELEASE.


PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AT ANY POINT IN TIME - I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU MY CHILDREN.
