Since
their inception in 2013, Dry Cough Records have forged a formidable reputation
as an active supporter of the underground ‘doom’ scene, issuing around 21
releases to date.
Kicking
things of with the cassette only ‘Discography’ by Plague Survivors, Dry Cough
issued a further 3 releases in 2013, before they made the initial transition to
vinyl. Given that the cost of releasing
vinyl is relatively higher and the fan base of the music is small, releasing
vinyl isn’t without risk; indeed most small labels rely on selling units in
order to put money into the next one, let alone break even. Therefore with the resultant 7inch release by
Old Skin, Dry Cough teamed up with Church
of Fuck
With
releases by Meth Drinker and Night Slug already in the bag and as we enter the
second half of 2015, it would appear that Dry Cough Records is stronger than
ever and this view is further reinforced
by the recent announcement of a split release featuring none other than Sea
Bastard and Primitive Man. One thing for certain is that Dry Cough Records
continues to leave their own mark upon the underground scene, so given our
close affiliation with them since their very first release, it gives me great
pleasure to announce an awesome Dry Cough Records give away.
