Release
Date:
12/8/97

Artist: DFI Title: S/T
Format: CD Catalog
Number:
HB040
Price: $12.00 Label: Honeybear
Release
Date:
10/28/02
***DFI is nothing if not an enigma. Unlike busily touring contemporaries the Fucking Champs and Orthrelm (both of whom DFI have performed with on various occasions), DFI has largely been a private affair, focusing on a dedicated following that is organically growing in number. DFI's performance at last year's Honey Bear Records' South By Southwest showcase at Sound Exchange in Austin was a highlight of the show and one of the best performances of the whole event.

Each DFI release has been an exercise in perfecting the craft of intellectual metal. Dave Didonato's fretwork is immaculate - far removed from entertainment and deep within the realms of mathematics and scientific experiment.

The bulk of this CD is made up of the highlights from DFI's first two now-out-of-print full length releases. For the first time DFI's music will be accessible to the many dazzled audiences who have seen him perform with the likes of Last of the Juanitas, Cherry Valance, Rye Coalition, Avail, Crom Tech, Cathedral, and many, many others.

Cover versions on this album include songs by Ulver and Human Thurma, and an incredible version of "Flight Of The Bumble-Bee." The cover art includes original art by Snake Pit comics artist, Ben White.

***Like Lazarus rising from the tombs, Honey Bear Records inundates the indie rock, emo-core, contemplating-a-Masters-degree punk masses with a release destined to make no one totally happy (because total happiness is both an illusion and synonymous with oblivion, right Cosmo?). Label house band J Church returns with their latest collection of songs-- previously available only on compilations and seven-inch singles.

Over the course of 20 songs, J Church reaffirms the often-mumbled belief that they are truly a singles band, saving their best songs for random Third World DIY releases and obscure, vinyl-only B-sides. With singles collections historically being the band's most successful releases (despite spreading records throughout the landscape of punk powerhouses such as Honest Don's, Jade Tree and Vagrant), J-Church's latest record, unlike others, boasts at least 85 percent material recorded in real studios.

Guest musicians include jazz singer and British trip hop artist Harriet Scott, Manda Rin from Bis, Johnny Takeaway from Hard Skin, and Kelly Green, formerly of Pee and Cockpit. There are also loads of cover songs ranging from the Jesus And Mary Chain to Bitch Magnet to the Electric Light Orchestra to the Grease soundtrack.

In the meantime, the band is back in action and on the road (already having done tours of the States with Propagandhi and Avail, as well as a headlining tour of Europe this year) and has busied itself doing more interviews in the past 365 days than in the previous eight years combined.


Artist: J CHURCH Title: My Favorite Place

Artist: J CHURCH Title: Palestine
Format: CD Catalog
Number:
HB041
Price: $12.00 Label: Honeybear
Release
Date:

***Originally written as a follow-up to The Drama Of Alienation (Honest Don's / Fat Wreck Chords, 1997), this is the album that was sideswiped when J Church imploded after a year of touring. Leader Lance Hance's subsequent hospitalization completely sealed the fate of these songs until now.

Before he started writing about heart medication and dying, Hahn's songs dealt with Wim Wenders, the Jazz Butcher, and the revolution. Much of the music dates from a pre-Drama era when he was still working as guitarist for Beck. The open tunings, naïve slide guitar work, and harmonic melodies can all be traced back to that happier time when J Church was toying with the idea of signing to a major label (which explains the occasional long, drawn-out, Neil Young-inspired solo).

The original tracks are joined by a handful of other unreleased songs, some updated vocals and covers of "Blasé" (Archie Shepp) and "Not Proud Of The USA" (The Mice).

Brainy and melodic but not wimpy DIY punk rock. --Giant Robot

Quality emo pop punk. --Maximum Rock'n'Roll

One of the great unappreciated treasures of San Francisco. --Hit List

Possibly the most literate lyrics I have ever heard in a punk context. --Skratch

Price: $6.75 Label: Honeybear
Release
Date:

***First domestic release in years-- and a departure from their Victory Records-era hardcore. Tuff-gnarl noise rock, The Dischord Sound and the Refused's own straight edge aesthetic jumble together, creating a middle groundseparating Fugazi and, say, Propagandhi. This EP, licensed from the Burning Heart label, is released simulaneously with the Refused's full-lengthEpitaph album.

*** A repressing of the debut 7-inch from this up-and-coming Austin hardcore bando90 % of the first run were destroyed in the infamous Honey Bear fire of '02oled by CHRIS PHEFFER of J CHURCH and SEVERED HEAD OF STATE fame. A searing blend of new and old styles which have gained the band comparisons to Rites of Spring, The Faith, and Really Red (whose songs Storm The Tower are known to cover live).

***Unwound members Justin and Brandt were stranded at the DC abode of one Tim Green in winter 1991. Basement SST frenzies were the delusion of the day, and eventually Brett Frost heard the call to dissipation so actutely he temporarily set aside his Nyquil and acted out his wildest Darby dreams. What began as a mathrock diversion transmogrified into a punk rock nightmare. Lucky you.
