Here's The Cassette Society A/W'08 collection...strangely beautiful, we love it.

Deer Dana

Agyness is known for her quirky character. You can show the world you’re a fan of the young model by wearing of these Deer Dana tees printed with a pencil sketch drawing of her face. They were designed by Dana Veraldi, a Brooklyn artist, and have actually become quite popular among fans… including the model herself!
They’re selling for $48.51 under the Deer Dana label which also includes fashion inspired tees like “Andre Leon Talley,” the editor-at-large of U.S. Vogue and “119th and Lexington,” a sketchier neigborhood in Harlem.

AUTOPSY: Classic Vinyl

AUTOPSY - Tortured Moans of Agony [Live Double E.P.] 1993
Download!

Autopsy was formed in 1987. Their music was firmly rooted in death metal, with the main difference being that they usually didn't focus on speed as many other bands of the day, but instead opted for a more mid-paced grind style, sometimes slowed down to doom speed. The band broke up around the time of their last album, with Reifert and Coralles moving on to Abscess. More recently, Reifert has teamed up with Danny Lilker (Anthrax, Stormtroopers Of Death) and Killjoy (Necrophagia) in a band called The Ravenous.

Mjolk

Mjolk is an Australian label that was born in Sweden in 2003 through creators John Clarke (an ex-Central St Martins College of Arts and Design) and Lars Stolen (Danmarks DesignSkole graduate). It can be described as clean cut and made from the highest quality materials. Mjolk also has dressed the famous faces in British band Franz Ferdinand, Australian rockstars Jet, Ben Lee, and Grinspoon, and disco queens the Scissor Sisters.

Paula Hagerskans

Swedish designer Paula Hagerskans has a cool masculine-edge to her female fashion lines. Key words that describe Paula’s design are: Contrasts for ex playing with the fine line between masculine and feminine seduction, avant-garde, rock´n´ roll and timeless beauty. Everything that she designs is crafted with great attention to detail, fit and quality.

Career Suicide

Listening to this band is like stepping into a time machine and turning the knob straight to 1981.
Career Suicide play hardcore with a style of snot-drenched punk with '77 hooks played at '81 hardcore speed that we rarely hear these days. 80’s hardcore is only rock n’roll but like, 300 times faster and harder! Twenty-one songs at about one minute a piece. Excellent, since every single song is fast-as-fuck, snotty, pissed-off hardcore punk rock! They're killer!

A fresh take on an old classic, Utah based line Zuriick introduces a sweet collection of sweatshop free slip-ons.

Wargasm: Boston's Thrash Legend

Wargasm is one of the great unsung heroes of the East Coast thrash scene along with Maryland’s Tension, Virginia Beach’s At War and maybe New Jersey’s Whiplash.

Wargasm’s 1988 album Why Play Around? was ugly, aggressive and catchy as hell, filled with bludgeoning rhythms, crunchy mid-section riffs and classic chant-along vocals like “He wound up/ knee-deep/ knee-deep in blood” (”Revenge”). Alas, the band broke up after its 1995 EP Fireball and only reunited in 2004 for a single benefit show. So, anyone interested in the history of early thrash would probably be interested in checking it out. Read new Wargasm interview.
