THE CHRISTIAN FAMILY’s debut single is an irresistible blast of lo-fi garage gospel. Stripped down bare but overflowing with huge garage rock hooks, this boy-girl duo’s tunes recall the best of ‘90s lo-fi heroes with an undeniably catchy nod to the girl groups of the 1960s. One guitar, three drums, and two voices are all that THE CHRISTIAN FAMILY needs to sink its teeth into you. This Phoenix duo has charm to burn. Get some over at SLOPE RECORDS!!!

He may not be a mainstream mainstay, but mention the name WALTER SCHREIFELS to anyone even tangentially involved in the punk or hardcore scene and chances are you’ll be met with borderline reverence. From his tenure in legendary hardcore bands like Gorilla Biscuits and Youth Of Today to his work in the pioneering post-hardcore acts. SCHREIFELS transcended his hardcore roots and showed another side of his constantly shifting skin with his solo debut ‘An Open Letter To The Scene’. RUN FOR COVER is bringing you this LP reissue with a bonus 7” of all new material! You know what to do…
