AXLE STEEL RECORDS 004: TOMORROW'S ECHO - DEATH DISCO

"Tomorrow’s Echo is the collaboration of Sabs Edge (she/her) and Reece Thomas (they/them/she). Born out the pandemic, TE combines their love for gritty diy hardcore and the bleak twangy post punk synth assaults of the 80s. Drawing in influences from Second Empire justice era Blitz and Echo & The Bunnymen to dingy basement hardcore and death rock such as Part 1 and No Trend."

AXLE STEEL RECORDS 006: ZORN - S/T TAPE

Exclusive European re-release for Philadelphia's own ZORN. Ten tracks of blackened weirdo metal punk. Honestly one of my favorite EPs of 2023.

"Zorn’s metal-punk draws on death rock melody, intricate thrash riffing, and the bulldozing power of Discharge-inspired hardcore bands, but the songs are as infectious as they are intense."

Transparent brown tapes limited to 50.

AXLE STEEL RECORDS 007: GREY GARDENS - INTO THE SUN TAPE

Exclusive European re-release for GREY GARDENS, originally released on CD in the US by the great people at Setterwind Records. Reworked exclusive cover art by Reece Thomas (the GOAT). Five alt-rock/emo tracks with a heavy 90s flair that will leave you wanting more. Another one of my favorite EPs of 2023.

AXLE STEEL RECORDS 011: LAUENBURG - WENN DU FÄLLST, LASS MICH HIER

This label is all about the CORE, but you know we have to mix it up every now and then. LAUENBURG is a German synth / wave project that's as raw and emotional as it is timeless. This is music to scream at a wall or do 180km/h in an autobahn tunnel to. If you like driving bass lines, post-punk, 80s new wave, wearing your keys on your belt loop, specialty coffee and/or herringbone parquet flooring, this is for you.
