Some help is needed my brothers...and a record you need to add to your collection.

(please read and repost this information on myspace,​facebook,​twitter,​boards,​blogs anything if your not busy)

If you are not wicked busy,please help me out with some promotional things that I can't do due to me not having or really wanting or having a facebook. Shit I've been wanting to delete my myspace account due to people lying about like stupid shit on their profiles. But anyways, help a brother out.All Im asking for here is two small,tiny favors:

Our Delco T-Shirts have arrived and we need to build some hype up with the aid of a female model, I have a few of you in mind if you are interested but the one I really use who i think would be a perfect fit lives a few states down south,but if I change my mind or she can't do it. Send me over some ideas,and if I don't know you send me a photo of what you look like NOT N00DZ haaa(unless you want to and are of age.) But just pretty much tell people Delco Brand Clothing a new BMX company from outside of Philadelphia needs a female model. And give them these two links:

Secondly.... Barbaric Cauldron and the Skeleton Proof Tanks Reunion Show

Might as well come clean about the SPT reunion and the information that me and Josh have put together so far:
Everyone from the original line up is down for the show.
It is 95% happening either at Broad Street Ministries on Broad Street In Center Philly. Huge venue,cool dudes run it,closest thing we can get to a St, Mads show from back in the day which we all loved and had some of the best shows in our short run as a five piece melodic death metal band with some potential back in 2004 when not every band sounded the same,and most of you young kids from Ridley never even heard anything as extreme sounding like we were doing which actually is a shame but don't mind me Im just rambling now heres some St.Mads photos for some memories:
View from our merch table:

Me,Josh,Steve and Raffi

Weist,​Steve,​and Raffi

Your usual SPT show


Or is BSM falls thru maybe the RS Club in Woodlyn will host the show?
The only song off of Grief being played is Oracle Of The Lycan which is the second song in this video in case you forget what it sounds like:

Every other song besides Elliot Spencer,​Sacrifyx,​and Serpent Of The Deep will be off our fan favorite, "The Laces Out EP"

Snail-Blood



"The path to a unique "stoner" sound is a long and winding road. Like the journey to Ithaca or a handful of mushrooms, the prize is in the trip. A popular path to crushing heaviness is to travel with company and rip off a Matt Pike project. Another famous shortcut is to endlessly jam on three riffs that never amount to Dopethrone.

Snail are not interested in shortcuts or pussy-footing. You don't get nothing for free, and this one took the long way. Snail formed in '92, back when Kyuss still had the blues and Sleep were still scaling the mountain. Their comically belated sophomore album, Blood, slovenly plods through gravity-altering sludge and weightless psych, with a taste for alternative that's refreshing.

The opener, "Mental Models," offers nothing but the porch treatment. Then the second cut, "Sleep," sounds like Smashing Pumpkins drowning, suffering and still rocking. "Via/Penny Dreadful" forces flashbacks to the dissonant grooves of the almighty Soundgarden. Fuck Chris Cornell, hard, but Snail's Badstonerfinger has a nice touch. Tracks like "Relief" and "Backlight" offer light, smoky respites from the sludge that wafts through the air like unwritten Monster Magnet jams. All the while, Snail's noise-warped solos, as in "Not for Me," burn off the juices in your brain. A good feeling.

The path to a unique stoner sound is littered with seeds and stems, sick tones and thick riffs-and in this case, with cavernous clean vocals and catchy choruses. In 2009, Blood is an enjoyable departure from the social norms and mores of heaviness."

Thanks for your time.

Dig's Rob Dolecki Answers Some Questions/Sword Heaven Live Videos/Krallice-Dimensional Bleedthrough

Mr.Dolecki how are you on this pretty rad autumn day?
It's sunny out and above 50 degrees- no complaints here.

Age/Location:
Lost track of my age after turning thirty in the early 2000's; Philadelphia.

Favorite Local Spot To Shred?
FDR, and my neighborhood. The rating of what's particularly "most favorite" rotates with each day.

Favorite Spot Of All Time? See trails question below, but you can also include a town pool in NJ, FDR which is probably my favorite concrete park of all time, and then there's my neighborhood, which the entire neighborhood is at this point becoming my favorite street spot of all time.

Ghost Grinds In Pools?
Always, whenever possible.

Trails or Rails When It Comes To Photography?
Both, as they both command equal respect, riding or photo-wise. Trails or rails- as anyone who's gotten killed on either knows, you can never under-estimate them.

PA Woods or Northern New Jersey Trails(W.B in 2002 was so wild)?
The 'Bridge was my local trail spot for about 10 years, and was probably my favorite place ever to ride (Thanks to Alan Moy, Steve Kaczur, and countless others who dedicated so much time to them) By the time I moved to Philly 3 years ago, all the OG dudes had stopped riding and there wasn't much of a scene left at the trails. It was kind of depressing working on a section, leaving on a trip for two weeks, then coming home to see that the section was all washed out from rain and having to start the process all over again (Tarps really hadn't come into normal trail maintenance yet), especially when there wasn't really anyone else at least riding and enjoying the work I put in. The last few years I lived near the trails, that scenario repeated itself multiple times. Not to mention riding the trails 4 out of 5 times by myself those last couple of years wasn't that enjoyable- for me, trails are only real fun when riding with other people, and a hell of a lot less scary. So once I moved to Philly, that ended my time working on the trails. It's good to hear there is a younger crew of dudes along with FTH's Chris Barry keeping them going and building some new stuff; I'm actually going there today. So after that long- winded explanation, and to answer the question- PA woods are now my preference when I'm not traveling, it's not raining, and I'm not hurt (this year, that meant a whole 2 days of riding there, ha ha.)

Where Is Steven Kaczur?
It's been a minute since I've seen K; he's taken his love for BMX over to custom choppers. K was one of the most dedicated trail builders ever, and always fun to go on trips with. We've been on some crazy trips; the Argentina one like six years ago was probably the craziest.

Brian Foster On A Roller,or Brian Foster Locked Into A Pedal Crook?
Anything BF does looks smooth, but I might have to go with a roller, since he's been making that look good for over 20 years.

How Hard Is It To Juggle Riding,And Shooting,Especially In Places Like Costa Rica? Not hard at all; I just go to the beach.

Worst Ball Up While Shooting?
I usually have something to do with that; see top five records answer...

Someone Should Replicate The Asbury Park Pool Soon Shouldn't They?
That's a trick question; It can never be replicated.

Top Five Current Records:
By me? They all probably involve being late meeting up with people, or the extended amount of time taken to set up for some photos.

What Does BMX need Less Of?
Frames with short seat tubes, and baseless opinions/ inflated egos that have become ingrained in of some of the media lately.

More Of?
Motivated people putting in work to help make more stuff to ride, be it street spots, trails, initiating/ helping get concrete parks built, or even if it's just drying up a puddle at the local park after a rain storm.


Thanks For Your Time Rob Dude,Go Easy

Krallice are a USBM act who have been making huge waves in the scene,their S/T was great and here is their newest release,enjoy!
Krallice - Dimensional Bleedthrough


Been just dicking around with some short stories and what not, read it you'd like and have a pretty doom and gloom mindset the vast majority of your post teenage life,this is a true one here with some name changes due to me not being a dickhead:
(its kind of sad and personal,but so is real life.)

Her glasses sat on her forehead resting behind the wheel,had we crashed? She had been behind the wheel all night,the back seat very quiet on our way across the great Keystone State and into the Urban/Cornfield death maze that is Ohio in route to our destination,Indiana. My fourth least favorite state. Normally we'd be all talks and smiles. I really had some sickening,"I made a huge mistake" type feeling in my gut. See over a year had gone by since our last journey and my feelings were the same. This was an war I could not win. She was the Nam to me when it came to not ending in utter defeat,mental anguish,and most importantly failure. You see failure is one human emotion that I know quite well. You see I've never handled these things in the manner that they should be handled. This was and is a happy go lucky female in the prime of her life,and here I'am some mid twenties pothead with a weird obsession with scratching my beard. The ball would never fall in my court and as we reached State College it finally had dawned on me. You will never get what you want. The trip went on,as I continued to pretend to sleep,not to cry,and all the other things you wouldn't expect a grown ass man to do in the back seat of your good friends automobile. I was alone,aside from her friend next to me,and some faceless dude in the front seat,who I didn't even think had a name who ended up being the enemy in this battle. The defeat flag was raised. I had lost. But I hid my pride best I could and pressed on towards the Midwest for four days of Hell. I wanted to sit her down and tell her how I felt for over a year now,sure I had dropped hints on my feelings but never went for it. She was too kind,too perfect. And I was just a piece of shit. I wanted to let her know that I'd never let anything bad happen to her,and I'd love to just fucking hold her hand and kiss her on the lips and just say,"Sorry."
Why say sorry? Because she meant the world to me,and I knew that she would never know how much she really meant to me. Fuck the trip,and fuck the details of my constant heartache. She is moving away in a few months probably forever. As long as she is happy,then I guess that Im happy to. Just for her,I'll remain alone and miserable probably until my death. I've had too many almost and fuck you's in my day. Throw in the towel at 24? Who knows,I just wanted to write this in case she reads this and realizes that I loved you,and im sorry I wasn't there when I should've been. I guess what Im trying to say to the readers,sometimes its best to let something you love go,than to let it destroy you and your liver day after day.

Bad Timing,In A 2x4 World

Im sure you've seen this by now but I love this part.

Darryl is better than you.

Trauma Will Always Linger...

Grim and empty feeling outside,kind of like the record of the day:
Xasthur-Subliminal Genocide



Easily Xasthur's most unsettling release yet of dark, despondant black metal with the aura that only Xasthur(and tons of dudes who hate life living at home still,myself included) can create.

So all things grim aside,how is the internet doing? I know how print is doing so why ask and just talk to myself? Seems like every website I venture to,even some BMX related have either some sort of penis pill,or a way to take advantage of average joe recession surviver. Its pretty sickening but,so is wasting all these hours we do typing our lives away bitching about slow connection times while some child starves in some far away country. Meanwhile I just threw away half a bowl of Turkey Chili because my dogs can't stomach it. Do I feel like a dick when I waste food...yes,should I not make posts when I'm ripped...yes.
Enjoy the record and tell me if you like the new format of the blog and if you want a DELCO BRAND shirt when they come in,yeah I know its the Phillies Logo design and they did shit the bed,so fuck supporting the team that broke your heart and support the local BMX community by helping Delco Brand grow and finally bring the riding scene together in some way or form. Cheers.
