    This description of the product is from our manufacturer's website:

    "Lathe cut records are made by 'impressing' the sound onto a plastic disc.
    They are cut in real time, by a real person.
    Because of the individual, custom nature of this process, the cost is higher per piece than pressing records. The records I make are mono, and 'embossed' onto plastic in real time. They are not the same as pressed vinyl records. There is an amount of surface noise on these records, similar to that of an old, dirty record."

    Is it possible to present stripped down hardcore punk in an intelligent and refreshing way? Seizure Man is says, "Yeah, we already found it."

    Hradio Signal is a welcome addition to Pittsburgh's extensive math rock and hardcore punk rosters. I think we all can agree that it's been too long for Black Flag, Refused, and Converge not to have created a weird, angsty baby yet. Hradio Signal solves this problem.

    The collective talent in this group is intense, and this album (written, performed, recorded, and produced entirely by the band) is a shining example of what the genres channeled within these songs are capable of. Deceitfully simple, the musical and lyrical content of these songs is honed in with pinpoint precision, while coming off as raw and aggressive. Listening to the two songs on this single is like watching a school of sharks hone in on its prey: belligerent, brutal, and brief.

    This release will be made to order, along with additional copies purchased for band and label. There will be no more than 50 of these created.

Every day the danger rises, quick decisions keep them away, please keep them away from my rights, I hold them dear News explosions, talking faces, flashing colors They tell me it’s bad, It must be real bad I think I’ll start a small militia Protect myself and the ones around, at the cost of others Don’t be a coward What if I wake up and night and someone’s watching Will I be safe? I better be safe I think I know what I’ll have to do now Oh, I’ll buy a gun, I’ll buy a gun And I’ll protect those children on the news ‘Cuz it’s the only reasonable thing to do and I, I’ll buy a gun, I’ll buy a gun This is how we obtain peace We’ll teach these children to use lethal force Ill get loaded and reload, and you won’t see The danger coming, It’s coming from me Are you against us? Regulation, I spit on it, mental illness make me a list, and I’ll round them up Put those crazy people in prison You come near me, and I feel threatened, and I can’t tell Well, I’ll Stand my ground! I’ll stand my ground! That’s what I call patriotism What if I wake up and night and someone’s watching Will I be safe? I better be safe! I think I know what I’ll have to do now Oh, I’ll buy a gun, I’ll buy a gun, I’ll buy a gun And I’ll protect those children on the news ‘Cuz it’s the only reasonable thing to do Now I know for sure that I will I’ll buy a gun, I’ll buy a gun This is how we obtain peace We kill everyone that we care about We’ll kill our families We’ll kill our friends We’ll kill our the children We’ll kill our future We’ll just go kill ourselves too.

We will never learn why we all get caught up in to these things that we don’t care about Sleep never comes, because we all stay up, Infomercials all day and night I won’t buy a thing, unless you doll it up, tell me that it’s pop and I’m alright Oh it’s kind of cute, that unchanging smile, comfort we with that lie AND, We will never learn why we all get caught up in to these things that we don’t care about Sleep never comes, because we all stay up, Infomercials all day and night I won’t buy a thing, unless you doll it up, tell me that it’s pop and I’m alright Oh it’s kind of cute, that unchanging smile, comfort we with that lie And, I’m, In, Total disbelief that there’s anything wrong With, The way that I view this, beautiful, made, for, me, world It’s, Not, a filthy, rything rotting beast at all, It’s just a well groomed decoration, that’s super cool, makes the room, look so good, I don’t Care, Where, it came from, or how it’s made, I Just want the product, to be cheap, and I insist it’s not a Dead, rabbit, at all, it’s just a picture of a picture of One, which, then, helps me detach myself from the fact that it’s a Picture of a dead rabbit Picture of a dead rabbit Picture of a picture of a dead rabbit!!!
