DEATH BY AUDIO RECORD STORE

You made it! Welcome to the Death By Audio Records Store.
We know it must be hard to decide what to buy with all these choices.
It may be easier to just roll a six sided die.
STARRING- WIFE OF GOD (LP/CD) - (DBA-008)- Founded in 2008 by Pterodactyl drummer Matt Marlin and Skeleton$ keyboardist Mike Gallope, STARRING revisits the terrain of progressive rock by distilling it to its essence. Starring plays “prog rock” because they are in love with a sense of unscripted fun, looking to spit beer, exhilarate and electrify rather than be like "dude, check my chops.". Starring combines the forces of farfisa, viola, guitar and bass to sculpt driving, heavy, high-speed sound guns aimed at stealth bomber choruses. Beneath it all, Matt Marlin’s notoriously frenzied drumming, propels this distortion-addicted quintet from one transfixing riff to the next. PURSESNATCHERS / COIN UNDER TONGUE 7" - (DBA-006)
From the control center/hobo fallout shelter known as Death By Audio comes this split 7" from two friendly Brooklyn bands, Pursesnatchers & Coin Under Tongue. These groups have stretched their style arms across their normal sound fences to join hands in vinyl. Pursesnatchers reach for the rock sky on "Certain Famous Covered Bridges", a majestic paean to Tennessee drifting, whereas Coin Under Tongue scale back for a coed duet of pop worship on "Turnaround". Both songs feature Annie Hart from Au Revoir Simone and are wrapped in a foldout, inked scene from frequent Bright Eyes artist Kaite Murphy. Vinyl is stamped in random, swirled colors - will vary.
GROOMS - REJOICER - (DBA-005)
Grooms are three friends in Brooklyn who play a structurally mutilated brand of noise-pop featuring blissful interplay, sonic experimentation, and song destruction. The band (formerly known as Muggabears) is rooted in Death By Audio, a fertile ground for the band's expansive, forward-looking catchiness. With moods that swing from the gloomy to the gleaming, Grooms craft songs filled with beauty, gloom, and irony-free whimsy.
SISTERS 1st EP (DBA - 001)
This is Sisters first EP ever. It was recorded at the DBA studio by Oliver Ackermann, world renowned dart thrower and champion coffee maker.
They are painstakingly screen printed in our very own dirty ass loft. Get 'em before you change your mind or we all all killed by heavy rains. Guaranteed to have at least 5 songs. Or, as one person put it, "2 NEW KIDS EX NEW SCHOOL PLAYING WICKED BAD ASS BREAK BEATS WITH GOOD HOOKS AND NOT MUCH HONKY TONK. MATT CONBOY AND AARON PFANNEBACKER KICK OUT 7 SONGS OF MINDBENDEDNESS"
$5.00 Including Shipping!
COIN UNDER TONGUE 1st LP -COIN UNDER TONGUE/HUSSIES AT BAY (DBA-002)
Real ink was pushed through actual screens and then the sleeve was thrown on the fucking dirty-ass floor. The story of redneck transplants making a record under ultrashitty Brooklyn conditions . Or, as one dude put it, "A WHOLE LIFETIME IN THE MAKING, THIS TITULATING AUDIO STUNTWORK WILL BLOW YOUR HEAD. POP THESE SONGS AND GET EMO WITH THE BAND. HEAVY LIKE A BAG OF WEIGHTS. LIGHT ON THE RASTA. FULL THROTTLE THROATS GALORE. SOMEBODY DIED SOMEWHERE ON THIS RECORD- VERY RARE! RECORDED BY CUT AT DBA IN AMERICA. 450 PRESSED & INSERTED IN HAND SCREEN PRINTED SLEEVES (COLORS WILL VARY)" ORDER THE COIN UNDER TONGUE DOUBLE EP @ INSOUND
SISTERS / JEFF: THE BROTHERHOOD SPLIT 7" (DBA-003)
Death By Audio Records have teamed up with our tight bros. from down south, Infinity Cat Recordings, on this split 7". This round vinyl object contains the song by Sisters,"Highway Scratch". It was recorded by Joe Kelly in the DBA Studio, mastered by Ollie Ackermann, and printed on one side. The other side contains a JEFF: The Brotherhood song, "Mind Ride" to be specific. This record gets played so often at the loft that we think some people may be getting sick of it. More likely, it's the asbestos pipes making them sick, but whatever.
ALL SOLD OUT!!!
SEAWHORES "BUILDING BETTER BOMBS" CASSETTE (DBA-004)
We had big plans for the future for this Doom Pop squad, but right now we have 20 tapes. We had 50 but 30 were stolen! And then Adam done went and signed to some other label and all we have left are faded memories and like 15 more of these tapes. If his talents were athletes at an Olympic event, he'd have to take up 4 tracks on a 3 man relay race. And that's just a summer event! this tape is like a grab bag- I can't really say what's on it because I don't have one of those old tape machines from the Ice Age, but just look at it. It's screenprinted at least 3X. The music is surely FUCT UP. What else do you expect from a man who collaborated with a Playstation? Also, these tapes smell great, like a new deck of notecards. SOLD OUT!!!
