Need to spend some money today? Like vinyl? If so, Regents has just put up a ridiculously small amount of their latest album, Antietam Afterparty, on a bunch of cool colors. Limited to as low as 25, these are a great piece or rare merch to get your hands on if you’re quick about it. We spoke with them a few months back and you can check that out HERE.

I’m not sure what to make of ALEISTER X yet, but, after a random email for his new video, “LAX (Lexipro Girls,)” the guy definitely has my attention. Playing like the soundtrack to coming down off heavy narcotics in an enjoyably bad dream, the song combines a strange blend of mellow EDM bounce, loose Hip-Hop rhyming, Goth-Punk-Gangsta aesthetic, and a the self-destructive tendencies of Industrial. How could you not want to check it out?
