The Austerity Program - Bible Songs 1

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 ].

Next Austerity Program LP is Recorded

ap_master_tapes

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.

Austerity Program - Standard Black Zip Up Hoodie

Standard black zip-up hoodie that sends your message loud and clear. Whatever message you're into, I guess. 

White discharge printed onto black fabric.  Hoodie is Hanes Black Zip Up - 100% Cotton.  Very comfy and medium weight. 5'9" model wearing size Large and plays bass in the band.

Inferno Printing did these for us and the cross-zipper print is tight.

Learning Things.

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.  

AP Standard (Japanese) T-Shirt

Printed on American Apparel Standard.  Women's Medium pictured.

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".
