F/NF 019 Press + MACRoCk Acoustic Showcase + Lurid Pictures

Pictured above is the brand new line up for Uncle Bengine and the Restraining Orders at their first performance at the Blue Nile in Harrisonburg, VA. F/NF recently released a new split cassette for the band and their WV pals, Prison Book Club, which you can pick up from our store here.  The cassette was also just reviewed by our pals over at WVrockscene, check out a little of what they had to say, or catch the full post here.

“Best split ever? PBC pairs up with Uncle Bengine and the Restraining Orders Well it’s been out and available, up and online for like a month or something, and not only is Uncle Bengine and the Restraining Orders one of the best band names ever maybe, but the Harrisonburg, Va.-based trio’s 13-song split with Prison Book Club, released on Funny/Not Funny Records, is one of the best pairings of bands on a split release we’ve heard together in recent memory.” - WVRockscene

Also, we have another gem by Lurid Pictures from the MACRoCk Label Expo Acoustic Showcase for you featuring Prison Book Club / The Demon Beat member Tucker Riggleman showcasing his new project Bishops.

PRESS!! What is being said about our recent releases:

F/NF 018: Cinnamon Band - Black Love / Tough Love 7”

“It’s pop, but it’s stripped-down, raw but lightly produced, and filled with a southern-tinged style of vocals set to harmony.” - FencePost

F/NF 017: The Diamond Center - California / Bells 7”

““California” features a sea of fuzzy and swirling guitars, scattered carefully between the gorgeous and blissful vocals that sound masked by a glowing veil of smoke.” - The Styrofoam Drone

““California” quickly — I’m talking instantaneously — became my favorite Diamond Center song. ” - You Hear That ?!?

““California” starts out sounding every bit of the Old West; a little dark and gloomy, a little sinister – midnight campfires, shadows cast everywhere by the full moon.” - SIRENS of DECAY

“The Diamond Center are purveyors of very fine lush, shimmering neo-psychedelia.” - The Mad Mackerel

F/NF 016: The Demon Beat / Elephant Child Split 7”

“Both tracks [Teenage Wasteland & Under the Bridge pt. II] look to knock you right on your ass, coming together with heavy, crunchy guitars and a solid, hard rocking attitude.” - The Styrofoam Drone

“If you’re a fan of heavy hitting, distortion filled garage rock, then this effort is just perfect for you!” - MusicBoxPete

“This is not funny: The Demon Beat slay on new split release.” - WVRockscene

F/NF 015: Naked Gods - No Jams LP

“You probably haven’t yet heard of Naked Gods, but that may soon change.” - Verbicide Magazine

“The opening 32 seconds of No Jams‘ opening track “Teenage Colony” is more than enough to get you hooked on Naked Gods.” - FencePost

“North Carolina beard-pop band Naked Gods keep it realz yo’. Foot tapping music. Yeyeeee.” - Gold Soundz
