Take a bite!!

listen!

a killer plum!! is a big squishy infectious fruit that grows. killer plums hail from cleveland, the forest city. they grow in akron, from lakewood, from south euclid and the east burbs and the farmland. they are hiding in trees, or in flying saucers over lakie erie. we lurk. if you didn’t know, cleveland is a plum. if you bite into a killer plum, you will soon become overcome with a feverish purple love and begin to emit righteous punk sounds from every orifice!!
ew.

killer plum!! records is a brand new baby label, founded in july 2011. are you a killer plum!!? do you kill plums!! email the earthling @ erin.earthling@gmail.com for orders, booking, loneliness or if you just want to know more about this, our wild proverbial orchard of plums.

what do we do?

killer plum!! makes only cassette tapes and mp3 downloads.

why on earth would we do that!!?

tapes are small machines that you plug in & they sing to you. a tape can bounce around yr backpack better than a cd can. & if a tape breaks, you can fix it sometimes, which a cd could never say. tapes encourage you to sit back (or wiggle) & listen to the whole album. tapes are like teddy bears; if you wear out a tape, it’s because you’ve loved it, not because it fell on the floor of yr car too many times & scraped its knee like a cd. tapes have a warm sound & are cheap to make and sell.

but it’s almost the mayan apocalypse so we have to spread this plum disease music fast, & mp3 downloads are the future & the future is now!! they don’t even exist outside of the mothership computer brain yet are ubiquitous. they are tapes for the postmodern era and its children. these creepy-crawly abstract items may not have the huggability factor of tapes unless you are a robot but if you have a computer they sure are easy to share with others.

soooooooooooooo

wield the mighty free stamp, arise forest city & watch out for 90 degree turns

we are from cleveland. we are from another planet. ahhhhhhhh!!
