White vinyl.
Edition of 400.

This Is Not How I Wanted To Spend My Twenties - Induced Labour last show DVD

Pleasence Records and Not Unlike are proud to present the final show of the late, great Induced Labour on DVD.
Recorded in the summer of 2011 by Jarod Gibson (Not Unlike, Odonis Odonis, Thighs), Branden Howlett (Thighs) and Erik Jude (Buzz Records, Hussy) at a Portuguese bar for the release of Gilded Flowers by The Pink Noise, and features most of the bands songs.
A ferocious performance that captures all of the noise-punk chaos that they were known for.
Shot right in the middle of all the action, you can almost smell the sweat, beer, and blood. Intimate insanity.

Featuring Brian Seeger (Pon De Replay) on guitar.

Produced By Brenden Howlett and Jarod Gibson.

John Milner You’re So Boss - s/t 7” PR014

Schizophrenic skate-punk for the circuit-bending generation. JMYSB calls forth all the fury and sarcasm of Powerviolence (Charles Bronson, Spazz) with the experimental intensity of Melt Banana. Screeching vocals, blast-beat drums and ham-slapped guitars knock each other around basements of nihilist noise pulled from repurposed children’s toys.

Recorded by Jon Shapiro of Induced Labour and Disguises.

Contains members of Teen Tits Wild Wives and the now defunct Boxes & Bags, and Blame Face.

Edition of 150 7” puke/marble coloured vinyl

Odonis Odonis - Hollandaze LP PR017

“…Hollandaze offers a surprisingly eclectic set of tunes heavily indebted to noise-addled grunge precursors Big Black, Jesus Lizard and Tad. What could have come across as pure mimicry, and would have probably still done well given our collective thirst for rehashing the past, is more homage, the musical blender yielding some impressive results.” exclaim.ca


Here it is: in conjunction with the good people at Daps Records and Buzz Records, we are proud to present the vinyl release of the debut album by Odonis Odonis.

Recorded by Dean Tzenos in Vancouver with Colin Stewart of Black Mountain, the now Toronto based band had expanded to included Denholm Whale and Jarod Gibson.

Call it “surf-gaze”, call it “industrial-goth-psych”, or, just call it a heavy trip. This a glistening gem of pipe-line guitars a rich quilts of fuzz.

White 12” vinyl.

Edition of 300.

Induced Labour 7” Ep PR001

The mighty Induced Labour are no more. But you can still have their 7” EP for $8.00!

In their short life Induced Labour smeared a trail of spazz-scum across Toronto destroying anything that got in their way.

Contained members of Doom Tickler, Sick Lipstick, Disguises, and Germans.

A true masterpiece of Toronto puck history.
