Ed Matus' Struggle - Planes That Cast A Gloom

This was a 12 inch single that was released on Space Cadet Records in 1996 I believe. 3 songs and a handmade cover.

Taken from the Ed Matus' Struggle Myspace:

Ed Matus' Struggle started with Juan Montoya on guitar, Carl Ferrari on bass, and Robert Lecusay on drums in early 1994. They recorded a self-titled debut on Space Cadette records shortly after adding Scott Nixon on vocals and guitar.

Carl left in 1997 to pursue other musical interests, including his band Swivel Stick. A cadre of bass players followed, and eventually they decided to stay a 3 piece with Scott moving to bass permanently in 2000. After recording a split 7" with Floor, Entomological Discoveries with Sound and Vibration, they recorded a four song EP entitled Planes That Cast a Gloom.

Shortly thereafter they released a song on the Emo Diaries Vol. 4 entitled Distance. Another song, Hovering, was released on the Eagle has Landed compilation for Tranquility Base. Steve Brooks joined on guitar in 2000 and the band took a turn towards a heavier style of music. Ed Matus' Struggle broke up while recording songs for another full-length in 2002. Several songs were completed (or nearly completed, e.g., Hialeah and Teen Beatdown), but have never been released.

Members were in and are now in Cavity, Floor, Swivel Stick, Machete, Subliminal Criminal, and Torche

Fixed the Tension link

Apparently the link for Tension's "In Our Time" 7 inch was linked to a different record. That has been updated and can now be downloaded here:

Tension "In Our Time"

Dead Patriot featured Gabe who ran Ohev Records on vocals. The music is real fast with alternating high and low vocals. It took me a long time to find this so I was pretty excited. I dont know if they recorded anything else but this 7 inch is great

Hello faithful. I apologize for the delay in updating but school has been hectic and I was down in Miami this past week. Today's update brings us 32forty. These guys really loved Jawbreaker and it shows on their releases. A great blend of clean sung vocals and pop guitar parts but still keeping that punk edge. Omar, the bass player, is going to write up a full bio for me but until then enjoy their EP and full length. The last track on the EP is them going around and talking to friends about the band in fast forward. Pretty funny stuff...they band also recorded a cover of the Jawbreakers' "Do You Still Hate Me", which Im waiting to get off the band. When I do, Ill post it.

United82 played some great fast punk rock. They were around for about 4 years and played regularly. As far as I know this is everything the band recorded. Raf, the guitar player, sent this to me so Im assuming its complete. I had a scan of the demo cover but I cant for the life of me find it. Ill try to track it down. Members went on Kill Lejeune, Foolproof, and Polly Ester.
