Welcome to CLARKO! Conceived in the desert of Reno, NV, CLARKO is the musical ego trip of Clark “Rules” Demeritt. The LP “Welcome to CLARKO” on Iron Lung Records mixes new wave’s greatest misses with modern punk to create an arms-wide invitation to the double-mad anxious world of smart-mouthed subversion, man-made aneurysms, knee-jerk antagonism, and juvenile gambling addictions. In short, a delight for the senseless. Clark’s mom will tell you in any happenstance meeting at the grocery store, “Clark likes Devo,” and he lives up to his mother’s promise. Sorry State Records says, “It’s weird as hell… it has the aesthetic trappings of egg punk, but the songs are very intricate and musical… parts remind me of the residents. Who’s weird enough to step to this?” At the heart of CLARKO is the distillation of a person, so if you don’t like Clark, you won’t like CLARKO. But most people adore Clark, so you will too!

—Clark of CLARKO

Erupting onto the New York punk scene, Brooklyn based band Pyrex have made waves after releasing a handful of well-received singles and tapes and touring the US generating significant buzz. At long last, the group is releasing their highly anticipated debut LP "PYREX". The LP delivers driving, scrappy hardcore-leaning post-punk that sounds like a mix between a lost KBD artifact and an Eastern European post-punk unknown. This LP explores dystopic and nihilistic themes both lyrically and musically packaged in no-brainer high energy punk. Pyrex delivers distorted, angular and heavily entwined bass and guitar hooks strengthened by linear, pummeling drums with raw, aggressive vocals. The trio have created an LP that is equally unchained and artful. "PYREX" is a wholly well-crafted, frenetic, dialed-in, oven-safe, microwavable, and collectable modern punk record with infinite playability. - Sims Hardin
