THE ZINES

                                                     #3 AND #4 of the OMCORE ZINES

In 2008 OMCORE started delivering zines with each CD-R issued. These began as hand written insults against the state and mainstream fashion mostly on used tickets, receipts and general litter. In 2009 the format grew and OMCORE PUBLICATIONS #0 'Growing Up' was the result, followed by #1 'Vinegar', #2 'Mungo', #3 'Deodorant days' and #4 'Rubby Dubby (Space Cats)'. 25 copies of each.

COSA





Four years after No Tomorrow's Party OMCORE had accumulated enough oddities to put out another compilation that defied explanation. Z-sides every one of them. Run of 30

Drum machine torch songs roared out the attic of 2009. OMCORE put out two runs of 20 of this mythic set that the skaters described as a 'workout'.

NO TOMORROW'S PARTY

A compilation that hit the shops just in time for Xmas 06. All 25 copies of this got swallowed up like plankton to the public whale. These tracks are the B sides that OMCORE knew were A sides, sometimes in-your-face beautiful, sometimes lushly horrible, NTP packs a tricky punch against the normals.

STANDPIPE SIAMESE

Social distortion music machine STANDPIPE SIAMESE made two self-titled albums for OMCORE in 2006. Coming out of a dirty back-street in the bitter bitter north these recordings fuse brutal electronics with instruments on psychedelic self-destruct. Both albums came with sticker bombing kits included.

SPINA DE MUL


Short lived power trio Spina De Mul produced only one CD-R for OMCORE which ran for 20 copies. Their style was rash and complex, spitting out tunes like a beast that knew it's days were numbered from the get-go.
