The Mallard unleashed another song from their debut LP YES ON BLOOD, our early frontrunner for album of the year. “Vines” has been a staple in the group’s live sets, which has been one of the best parts about this band since the addition of a third member last year. YES ON BLOOD should be out soon over on Castle Face Records.

Beyond psyched to announce that we are once again teaming up with Thee Parkside to host our second Positive Destruction Presents showcase on the evening of Thursday, December 15th. Following up on the success of our inaugural event, the lineup features the creator of the best album of 2011 to date (Blasted Canyons), electro-dystopians Hot Victory (from Portland), POW! (it’s their EP release party) and the most recent signing to the Castleface label, The Mallard. (Incredibly sick woodcut above also by Greer McGettrick)

Tickets are on sale now. The show kicks off promptly at 9pm, and we encourage everyone to come earlier to catch all four bands. RSVP on the Facebook event page.
