Aceh:10 Days Strong Mixtape! (FREE DOWNLOAD)

(All content taken from Riot Ska Records Website)
This compilation consists of Riot Ska Records bands and Unknown Records bands. This compilation was burnt to CD-R and sent to indonesia as part of Aborted Society Records' initiative."We read the news about punks being apprehended and detained in the Aceh region of Indonesia recently, and like many of you, were extremely disturbed at the thought of the police sweeping these kids off the street, shaving their hair, and forcing them into some sort of bullshit military training to deprogram them. We are privileged to live in a society where we are free to express ourselves as we wish, and while the US and other Western states have their fair share of police injustice, this incident is a harsh reminder to how good we really have it. That is why we are starting a small initiative in solidarity with our friends overseas, to let them know that we stand behind them and fully support them."
released 24 December 2011

Gone Postal Vol.1 (FREE DOWNLOADABLE COMPILATION)

We been busy as fuck and neglecting the shit out of Heavy In Da Streets. Fortunately we were able to put this compilation together with the help of our close friend Ernie Sosa of No Cops For Miles. The compilation is entitled "Gone Postal" which is slang for becoming extremely and uncontrollably angry, often to the point of violence. It consists of 14 tracks from genres such as folk-punk, ska-punk, and hip hop. The idea of this free downloadable compilation is to show our anger at the shitty mainstream music industry and celebrating the D.I.Y.(Do it Yourself) culture. The Compilation consists of No Cops For Miles, the Kid Macias, Status the Shokwave, Screw You and the Four Chords, Jesus Buys Heroin, Homosexual Patriot, Zkapatistas, and Hello Apathy. We would like to thank all the bands and people who helped contribute to the compilation. As far as the future of H.I.D.S. goes, who knows and who gives a shit. This might be our last major project or it might not. There could be a Vol.2 to this compilation but that all depends on the reception we get from Vol.1. Anyways, download Vol.1, share it with your friends and enjoy. All music should be free so here is the link to the free download http://www.mediafire.com/?xlndtafam6sru1e

Nate Macias Footy!

In the meantime enjoy this footy of our good friend Nate Macias who is also a contributing musician to the compilation under the name Macias the Kid. Enjoy the footy.

(A) Beatnik Bum Zine!(Release) Interview + FREE DOWNLOAD!

Today is the release of the "(A) Beatnik Bum Zine". We have got our hands on an official advance copy of the zine. We enjoyed it & recommend everybody to go download it. The zine is a (DIY [Do It Yourself] magazine) capturing the mind of an existential lover in regards to political/social/musical tastes of the beatnik bum himself. This zine includes art, poetry, lyrics and cartoons and anything else that will make this sentence redundant. DOWNLOAD THE "(A) BEATNIK BUM ZINE" FREE PDF HERE!

We were able to get an interview with the author of the zine, The Beatnik Bum himself. Check it out.

HIDS: Who and what is (A) Beatnik Bum Zine?

Beatnik Bum: A Beatnik Bum Zine is the writings and sketches of the Beatnik Bum himself. I, The Bum, have tried to create this depiction of life through the eyes of a youth living and feeling the waves of the energy for the first time.

HIDS: Are you new to the Zine scene?

Beatnik Bum:I've been making zines in the past, have taught workshops on zine making and edited/published many. I say I've been around 3 years.

HIDS: What inspired you to make this zine?

Beatnik Bum: Looking through old zines, I regained that joy for zine making. My past is what made me revisit the zine scene.

HIDS: Is there a targeted audience for this zine or is it for everybody?

Beatnik Bum: This zine is for anyone who is interested in the mind of an anti social who struggles with identity and the lessons of the cruel world.

HIDS: How does this zine differ from any of your earlier work?

Beatnik Bum: This zine is more personal whereas others have focused on socio-politikill issues.

HIDS: After a person is done reading the zine, what is the message you want that person to get?

Beatnik Bum: I think I just want people to keep reading and see that there is always a war for your mind whether it is external (ie. Capitalism) or internal such as depression.

HIDS: How can people who are interested help out the cause?

Beatnik Bum:I haven't really thought of that. DIY man. Everyone can create their own media, their own world. Just start thinking in a positive way to change the world and we can all make this the world we wanna see.

HIDS: Shout outs?

Beatnik Bum: Shout out to Geronimo, Bernie, Jojo and my girlfriend Jasmin who have all been very supportive. Also I would like to thank David for helping with the scanning and Massive for helping with uploading pdfs. Much love to those I've left out.
