3/4 of AEO have formed a new band called SQUALORA and we have a new LP/ CD out now on Defector, Wantage usa, & Repetitively Futile Records. We play the same style of anarchist depression-induced gloom-core as before, except now we have bigger amps, dirtier socks, and more reasons to be pissed off at the world. You can order this new masterpiece directly from us if you'd like. See below for reviews, etc.

SQUALORA - CD
"A strong dose of modern, heavy, speeding crust-core from Portland (by way of Missoula, Montana and containing three-quarters of ASS END OFFEND), reminiscent of the quirkier side of late-'90s flirtation between underground hardcore and metal a la WORD SALAD, MEDICATION TIME, or early FROM ASHES RISE. Nine longer tracks with complex and drawn-out song structures that weave together dark prog rock-ish intros (acoustic and flange!) and bridges, bleak lumbering heaviness, and offhand metal influences, and break or pick slide into wicked thrash blasts with caustically shouted and grufflyspewed vocal tradeoffs. The rambling lyrics are relevant, timely, and unfortunately seemingly a current anomaly -great, outraged attacks on consumerism, Fox News, apathy in light of present political realities, etc. Cool!" -MaximumRockNRoll #296, January 2008
