The Inevitable Backlash Sex for Safety EP art by Emy Storey!

Our favorite artist and past interview subject Emy Storey is keeping busy! Looks like she has done the cover art from a new band "The Inevitable Backlash" for their debut "Sex for Safety". I downloaded a track on Itunes, but decided to buy the CD to get the full Emy treatment. Is anybody else SUPER EXCITED about what she has up her sleeve for Con??? Reviews below...

75 or less "The Inevitable Backlash features former members of Saccharine Trust and the Rollins Band and sounds like late 80's SST bands like SWA and DC3. Close to a late-era Naked Raygun crossed with a touch of rock. "Le Fou Rire" starts off with some Greg Ginn-ish guitar licks before kicking the tempo up a bit. Fast driving riffage and one acoustic number—in total, five songs just under 13 minutes recorded live without any overdubs. Bring on the full length." and good word from Treble "Chugging, distorted guitars? Check. A snarling vocalist? Check. A drum beat that hits like a concrete block to the skull? Check. From the first few seconds of "He Never Left," the opening track on The Inevitable Backlash's new EP, the band makes their mission quite clear—to rock you hard, slap you around, steal your beer and maybe break a couple windows. It's not a complex sound, nor one that hasn't been covered a hundred times before, by the likes of Nirvana, The Stooges, The Sex Pistols...you get the idea. But if the formula worked so well the first time, why mess with it? These five tracks do no such thing, but hey, they don't have to."

Sanctuary Closing, Could this affect Tegan and Sara and Vapor?

Yikes!! From Pitchfork...

The American home to Morrissey, Idlewild, Tegan and Sara, Jonny Greenwood's reggae comp, and more, England's Sanctuary Records Group will soon cease its front-line operation in the United States and focus exclusively on catalog releases. This is according to a Billboard.biz report and confirmed by a spokesperson at the imprint. UK operations will presumably continue as before.

Ex-Cranberries frontlady Dolores O'Riordan's Are You Listening?, out May 15, will likely be the label's final new release in the U.S. Meanwhile, the status of Tegan and Sara's latest LP, The Con, is unknown at this time. That record was slated to come out July 24.

As of June 30, the label will shift focus entirely to its catalog-- which, according to a Sanctuary spokesperson, will include both existing titles (including the Wedding Present, the Pentangle, Joe Meek, and more) and future reissues. The Sanctuary Records Group umbrella includes the Attack, Castle, Trojan, Vapor, and Fantastic Plastic sub-labels, among others.
