The leaves have begun to change pigments. They enter a new stage in their short-lived lives. With change comes an end, but yet a new beginning. This year has yielded 5 releases for Error Records, and we have 4 more to go before the end of 2011. Here is a shred of light on the things to come before the grass is dead and the animals are all asleep in their warm coves...
Maidens / "
Shallows" EP - cassette tape coming November 2011
These Milwaukee natives give you a nice and slow dose of post-metal/sludge/doom. When I say slow, I don't mean boring. We're talking intricately written songs with just the right amount of vocals. You almost think you're listening to an instrumental band when the crushing dual screams kick in and take the song in a new direction. Layering it furthermore. Let's see what you think. FFO: Isis, Cult of Luna, ect..
Here's a song from the tape, as well as the artwork:

s/t/d" (self titled demo) - cassette tape coming October 9th 2011
Although the first release for this drum n' bass duo, we are confident in their abilities. Anyone who has witnessed their cage match can adhere to the fact that these dudes rule. We don't have much to share about this release, because these two dudes like to keep it mysterious. Tends to be a trend with C-U bands. If you like the wonderful "sport" of wrestling, loud and sludgy jams that get stuck in your head for days, with a heavy Melvins influence, then you will want to snag one of these limited DIY tapes. Only 50 will be produced. Make sure you come out to the release show. FFO: Melvins, Lightning Bolt, ect..
Droughts /
Split w/ William Bonney - cassette tape coming Fall 2011
Our lovely friends from the windy city of Chicago are hitting the studio next week to record for their split with the mid-westerners William Bonney. We are very pleased to have the opportunity to work with these fine gentlemen. They've taken all the heart and raw emotion and put it back into post-idie/harcore style. If you dig their recordings, you will enjoy their live performance more. Make sure you check them out when they play your city. Droughts don't seem to be slowing down any time soon. FFO: Native, Pianos Become The Teeth, ect..

Rusalka /
The Diamond Stretch "
split" cassette tape coming October 2011
Two more local C-U bands have teamed up for a split tape. If you didn't get the crusty, blackened
Smoke Coke / Terror Suspect tape, then you truly missed out. You can still get a fair dose of abrasiveness (TDS), as well as some catchy post-hardcore (Rusalka) with this release. Don't sleep on what we believe to be yet another memorable local release. Both of these bands
have a stellar live show. So, do yourself a favor and show up to the release show. The kinks are still being worked out. We will have more info on the actual release date and show when it graces us. FFO: skramz, post-hardcore, visual, ect..
