Prefecture started in late 2006 and for a brief moment anyway, was a punk house favorite in St. Louis. They played snarling Punk-core. Not fast enough for the thrash-only crowd but certainly too abrasive for the hipster/un-punk set.
The band recorded this EP themselves, in their practice space. It's loud. It's raw. It's what Prefecture is. The record has three mid-tempo wall-o-punk-fuzz tunes and one Discharge-y blast. Three of the songs were originally intended for release as a 7" on Sack O' Shit Records in 2008. Five years later we figured it was time to make that happen.
Pressed on thick, black vinyl and packaged in a heavyweight sleeve with lyrics and pictures. Featuring members of SYNTAX ERROR, Medical Tourists, The Adult Toys, Civic Progress and Manipulation.
