The long awaited debut LP from NYC’s FLOWER “Hardly A Dream” is finally set to arrive.

FLOWER’s tedious approach to writing/creating/drawing their debut LP was carefully thought out and the result is a monumental anarcho punk /crust record.

“Hardly A Dream” Takes us on a bleak journey through the dark side of society. As soon as you drop the needle a dark atmosphere is immediately created with a slow intro featuring arpeggio guitar work that builds into pummeling d-beat crust. The albums vocals then leave you with a feeling of being crushed by the ever-present weight of living through our modern world of late stage capitalism that was built on the falsehoods of the so called American dream, religious hypocrisy’s, nationalism, and the greed of humankind.
FLOWER take many cues from predecessors and are most often (and rightfully so) compared to NAUSEA but they also take a heavy influence from ANTISECT, SACRILEGE & other greats. The artwork has a very RUDIMENTARY PENI feel and the record comes with an amazing 24.5 X 34.75 CRASS style poster jacket. All art work was meticulously hand drawn and overseen by the guitarist Willow in true DIY style and spirit. Willow was also cool enough to draw up a special shirt for the record release featuring an alternative PROFANE EXISTENCE backprint!

Thank you for doing a print zine for so long.
Much so respect.

Are you all perhaps planning to do something similar to the PDF back-issues that are in your webstore? Regardless, keep up the good work. PE is an inspiration to us all.
PE is currently running by a very small skeleton staff of paid workers (mainly to keep the distro going) and everything else is done by volunteers (I’m one of them). If we can find time to reformat more back issues to PDF files we’ll do it, but right now we’re concentrating on setting up the web zine.
Dude, it’s not a webzine…heh heh heh.
Old issues are almost always popping up on Ebay and a ton of distros and shops have loads of back issues, more than we do actually. If we have some time in the future we might get to posting some of the old stuff, but really we’re focused on looking ahead.
I’m really happy so far with this site and the change to digital.
I would also like to see the back issues up as PDFs. The issues that appear on Ebay sometimes go for over $30.
I will see about scanning what I have, but I can’t do the tabloid-sized issues.
