Early Tapes Vol. 1

A remaster and first time pressing of the earliest Gun Outfit cassettes, which were produced by the band to sell on their first two national tours in 2009 and 2010, along with some unreleased tracks. The aesthetic at the time was basically an embrace of primitivism. Technical know how was actively disdained in favor of abject expressionism. The context was the hardcore scene, but it was Olympia, so there was some kind of hermetic awareness that could be read as art. This record shows the side of the band that was least afraid of what people thought. The tapes were for friends, there was no outside audience yet.
