Our Bro-mance with A389 Continues On…

We’re all about A389 Recordings ’round these parts. If it’s not the consistently awesome cover draping each and every release and their annual birthday bash show/extravaganza every January, it’s that they’re fellow proponents of the flexi-disc and that alongside every world-hatin’, religion-baitin’, humanity-despisin’ slice of holy terror hardcore they release, they go ahead and show their (drunken) human side by putting out the Thor’s Teeth live album which had Pulling Teeth playing as backing band to Canadian hard rock legend – choose your own definition of “legend” – Thor.
Another reason to love A389 is that they give the world free stuff. Like the stuff mentioned below. Which is free.
