Tarantüla

If You're Sideways, I'm Upside Down

Vinyl Conflict

***Tarantula is a solo project now with a full band, Vlad from Killing Pace, Regulate, Downfall, and more. He's taking a step away from Hardcore on this release doing a more Alt rock/Indie styled release, not unlike a Tony Molina/Tenement type. Vlad has been a customer with VC since he was like 13 years old, and its been exciting to see his path along the way, through many bands. His current roster of hardcore bands he writes for are some local favorites, and his writing in this style is no exception, with heathy nod's at Elliot Smith and Weezer, you are also not too far off from a Hostage Calm or Crime In Stereo either. The band is already actively touring just getting back from runs with Hotline TNT, Hunny, and Split Chain. This is a limited edition pressing of 500 copies.

The Very Best Of Sex And Violence

Deranged

The Very Best Of Sex And Violence is the third vinyl installment from Chicago’s Tarantüla with five new glorious hardcore punk tracks. For those unfamiliar, this band is the reincarnation of Cülo and they play an intoxicating blend of classic punk and meat and potato hardcore.  “While one might consider the idea of catchy, song-oriented hardcore to be completely played out, Tarantüla toe the line between poppy and aggressive so perfectly that their music feels fresh. You can hear the influences quite clearly—the snotty, aggressive punk of bands like the Angry Samoans and Zero Boys, the earnest drive of early '80s midwest hardcore like Articles Of Faith and early Hüsker Dü, and a dash of DEVO / Geza X-style irreverence—but they’re swirled together in a way that’s just different enough from anything I’ve heard before to be noteworthy.” - Daniel from Sorry State Records

Weird Tales Of Radiation And Hate

Deranged

The second EP from Chicago’s Tarantüla, the band featuring former members of Cülo with the additional layer of the always popular bass player. Just as catchy as the aforementioned Cülo, but a little less mid-tempo, and with more obvious classic punk influence. Great jacket art from DrugFace as per usual. Mastered by Geza X, a killer 7-inch.
