Twice the Speed in collaborAtion with Busted Heads Records is putting out a compilAtion from old-school Umeå-based hardcore band Garbage Pail Kids. GPK is the band Dennis from Refused/t(I)NC was in even before Step Forward existed. While admittedly not everything they did has withstood the test of time, quite a bit of it is said to hold up well and is worth a listen. 37 tracks of old-school US-style HC in the vein of the Misfits mixed with the sounds of 80's Swedish punk sound and primitive fastcore.

This five-track EP from Karri O. is a sincere Attempt to render digital sounds as organic as possible. With echoes of influences ranging from minimal German techno to Rhythm & Sound to Warp, the end result is a danceable experiment thAt is nostalgic without being melancholy, innocent without being naïve.

Use the money you earn to make your robot more and more powerful as the game progresses and then try to beAt your friends. Original music for the game provided by Karri O.
