We are an artist-run label formed in 2013. All the work, good or bad, is done by the people in the bands.
Printed on Next Level 100% cotton (Style 3600 Men's, 3900 Women's).
Women's Large pictured. (Model is 5' 6")
Thai - Deep Gold on Maroon.
The text is an accurate Thai translation of the band name. Seriously.
Bible Songs 1 - is an six song record (2019) by the Austerity Program.
They've been together over two decades and this is more panic-inducing than anything they've done yet. Yes, the songs are based on Bible verses, so feel free to play it at your scripture reading circle and write to us about how that turns out.
All of the wrath of god and none of the salvation.
Recorded nearly live at Kerguelen in Astoria, NYC. Full frequency analog recording for those who like their pit-scraping noise rock to sound pristine.
In Europe? Save money and [ order from Throatruiner ].

The Austerity Program finished recording their next record back in December. Here's the master tapes, ready to go to Ventura, CA.
Six songs long, clocks in at about 25 minutes. I know that's not very long for a band that hasn't put a record out in five years but it's pretty intense so you'll get your fill.
Currently working on pressing details, cover art, setting up shows. Expect this thing to come out in June.
Controlled Burn Records (Chicago, IL) and Phratry Records (Cincinnati, OH) team up for a Nonagon / Knife The Symphony split single. Limited to 300 copies. This record will never be re-pressed. When they're gone, they're gone!
The 7” comes with a download card that includes a bonus track from each band. Digital version available with physical copy only. Read more about @title

Our first post included the vague idea that we'd post about stuff as we learned it - as far as running a record label goes.
We've been bad about keeping that promise but there's something that we did learn; it contains something like advice for someone thinking about starting a record label.
If you set up an actual company to do the label's business then you're going to have to pay taxes on the label's income, as well as sales tax for sales in the state you're based. Read more about @title

Japanese - Dark Gray on Asphalt.
We have checked with a few folks - it really does say "The Austerity Program" and not "I Am a Child Molester".
Nonagon is watching you. They see your every move.

Beyond Calculation - is an eight song LP (2014) from the Austerity Program.
Their latest and favorite. Guitar, bass, vocals and drum machine all cranked through 3500 watts of power and lots of speakers. Songs about a despised albino, vengeful minor-deities and self-immolation. You would think we each grew up Catholic.
Full analog recording and fingernail-pulling attention to detail. Like always. Read more about @title
