Useless State Records

Mix It Up, Fuck It Up II & Impromptu Insanity

Next weekend is a big weekend for Useless State!  We are releasing two very awesome tapes, one compilation and one full-length album.

Friday, Sept 30 we release Mix It Up, Fuck It Up II.  This is a complilation featuring a bunch of amazing DIY bands from Portland, OR.  Potsie and Andrew Link are both on here too.  The proceeds of the tape will go towards supporting PC-PDX.com, Portland's best damn show guide.  The site is ad free (punx as fux) and supports a GIANT user base.  With upgrades to the server, costs of operating PC-PDX.com have raised considerably.

Here is what the tape looks like:

SIDE A

Hooded Hags- Exxon Baby
Company- Monday Again
Big Black Cloud- Shitty Vibrations
Archers- Jackson
Danger Death Ray- Rock Against Rock Against Bush
Potsie-Sap
Honduran- Serial Inebriate 
Stag Bitten- Dear
Banh Mi- Uhaul Hero
The Angries- Biff
Kottendik- Round and Round
Drunk Dad- Bad Friends Couch

SIDE B

Dj Foxdye- Tapecracker
Gay Ghost- Goodevening Grunyen
Andrew Link- Take the Burden

And there's more!  More? YES MORE GODDAMNIT!  There will be an awesome house show to celebrate it's release! Tiiiiiiggggghhhthtttt.

Hey guys,

we have a good number of people who put in pre-orders in for the caseete and vinyl formats for the latest Taxpayers release and if you're one of those people, you're still waiting. WAHH WAHHHHHH....

You should have recieved a download code to grab a copy of the album while you wait - if not, please contact us and  we'll be sure to get you a code to download the album.

If you want to order the album in either of these formats, go ahead but we don't have any idea of when either of these formats will be available. You'll get a download while you wait but cannot give you a date of when you'll get the physical copy.
