In 1996, Suicide Squeeze began releasing 7-inch records as lifesblood, singles, mostly from Pacific NW bands appeared, documenting some of the most influential music of that time: Modest Mouse, Elliott Smith, 764-Hero, and Pedro the Lion: each played an important role.  The label broadened its reach over the years (as well as its series of singles), continually releasing music by a diverse, yet select group of musicians, including The Melvins, Of Montreal, HEALTH, Black Mountain, School of Seven Bells, and many more…

Now add Iron & Wine, Memoryhouse and JEFF The Brotherhood to that list of names… Along with The Coathangers, and their EP of remixes (by Dan Deacon and Judi Chicago), each artist’s 7-inch will be released in a limited addition of 500 black vinyl discs and 250 color…

The Coathangers and JEFF The Brotherhood are up first, both with 7-inch EPs due on July 20th: Atlanta’s favorite ladies hand two of their beloved tracks (143 and Arthritis Sux from their Suicide Squeeze debut, “Scramble”) to Dan Deacon and Judi Chicago for the specialist treatment… What emerges is pure, ringing joy; from JC’s bounce-down dub to the pulsing ‘closing-credits’ anthem Deacon somehow Frankenstein’s from the band’s original tracks. Meanwhile JEFF The Brotherhood, aka Nashville’s real-bros, Jake and Jamin Orrall, bring more of their – now legendary – tune shredding to Suicide Squeeze. Two sweet and ripping tracks, highlighted with laser-light solos and melodic guitar hooks that phase thru space on this limited edition 7".
