***Dear listener, This 7” is the third release from D.C. art-punk band "Puff Pieces". Each side of the record holds one song. On the A side, you will find a morbid tune of gloom and doom titled "Born 2 Die." On the B side, "Born 2 Die" is electronically transformed into a vigorous dance track titled "Born 2 Cry." The band was recorded by Ian Mackaye and Don Zientara at Arlington Virginia's legendary Inner Ear studio. I truly hope you are able to find some element of interest in this music. Sincerely, Mike Andre, (member of Puff Pieces)

***The debut record by the band PUFF PIECES. The album includes 11 songs recorded by the group and by DEVIN OCAMPO in Washington, D.C.. Composed of drummer AMANDA HURON, guitarist JUSTIN MOYER, and bassist/singer MIKE ANDRE, who have performed in such notable area bands as CAUTION CURVES, VERTEBRATES, SUPERSYSTEM, ANTELOPE and E.D. SEDGWICK, the band intends to cast itself as mere modern shrimps perched upon the shoulders of their gigantic (and benevolent) punk forebears. The record has been pressed on translucent yellow-colored vinyl.

***In 2012, at the behest of MIKE ANDRE, a reluctant JUSTIN MOYER (E.D. SEDWICK / SUPERSYSTEM) and AMANDA HURON (WEED TREE, CAUTION CURVES) were conscripted into helping Mike play and record some unrealized songs he had floating around. After a series of precarious fits and starts, the band coalesced into a semi-stable entity known as PUFF PIECES in 2013 and began playing shows. Based on their experiences in various now-defunct bands (Amanda and Mike in VERTEBRATES, and Mike and Justin in ANTELOPE), and long-term involvement in D.C.'s punk and noise scenes, Puff Pieces strives to destroy the bland hegemony of their city's condo-crazed culture with a mix of melody and nervous dissonance. This 4-song limited 7" was recorded by DEVIN OCAMPO (Medications/Faraquet) at his home studio in Washington, D.C. The band has been receiving rave reviews for their live show and will continue to be playing out while also working on new material for a full length. (STREET DATE - 4/19/2014)
