DEAD WEIGHT on Worldwide Powerviolence comp

Posted in Compilations, Releases with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on November 28, 2012 by deadweight619

DOWNLOAD the full compilation

NOTE: The songs were mistakenly tagged as “Nightwalking / Forbid” – Those are actually the Haruka song titles. The DEAD WEIGHT song titles are actually “Holy Man / 9 to 5”. Regardless of this little mishap, we’re stoked to appear alongside other up-and-comers! DEAD WEIGHT would like to thank everyone who put this tape together for the opportunity.

Come on out, brethren. It’s our first (official) Che show.

Friday Dec. 14th 2012 @ Che Cafe - Dead Weight, Sleep Walk, Halftime, Creative Adult, A Better Hope Foundation

POLL: For our next release, which format would you rather have?

Posted in News with tags , , , , , , , , on September 26, 2012 by deadweight619

Everyone likes vinyl, tape or CD for a number of reasons (coolness, practicality, nostalgia, album art, don’t care, etc.) but we’re going to find out which format is most favored with this handy little poll.

As you know, our demo tape is available as a free download, or for purchase ($3).

Ideally we’d make a release in every format, but like every starting band we have limited resources, so this is just to get an idea of what people like their music to come in. This poll will only be available for a limited time, so get a vote in while you can!
