Corm

Everything Streamlined

Contrast

This is a CD-only release from Corm featuring over ten new songs, old previously unreleased songs, and all of their songs from 7-inches, split 7-inches, comps, etc. Everything they’ve recorded, other than their now out-of-print Auto Flame Kit record on Dischord, is on here. Corm are from the DC area, and have the “DC/Dischord sound,” but with a nice twist of originality. If you like most “DC sound” bands, then you should definitely like this. Twenty songs, over 70 minutes long, and limited to 1000 CD’s. Very DC, very good. Hurry before they’re all gone.
