Earth

Earth is absolutely one of my favorite bands. Their sound has changed from their earlier recordings. They have even re-recorded some of their older songs into the format of their last two records.

The newest record The Bees Made Honey in the Lions Skull is on Southern Lord Records.
It is the next step for the band. It still has the western feel but it pulls in a great deal of strength and power. For audio samples of past recordings go here.
Also go to their website.

Below is a video from their most recent European tour.

Yeah, I made the poster very simple and very graphic so it could be read from a distance.

Harpoon poster.

So I am the guinea pig for a new hand built vacuum table. Now matter what I did the registration was off. After experimenting with weight and size of the paper. I believe that 100lb cover was to heavy for the vacuum and the paper was being pulled by the squeegee and screen. But the problem has been figured out.
