Allout Helter
by Tim Wenger
You know you’ve dreamed about it, and now local Punk/Thrash band Allout Helter is living your dream after signing with Dang!Records from Denton, Texas, and will be putting out a two-song EP, An Hour Made for Arson, on October 20.
“It came about really surprisingly,” says vocalist Ross Swirling. “After we posted one of the two songs that are coming out, Shawn (runner of the label) listened to it online on our Bandcamp page. He basically hit me up on a random Saturday and asked if we wanted to be on Dang!Records. He’s going to be helping with online distribution through his web store, and with a lot of the promotional stuff,” says Ross. “He’s a really great guy, and the roster of bands he has got is really cool.”
The label, a small DIY initiative, provided Allout Helter with upfront funding to get their new EP put out on CDs in addition to just an online download, and is offering presale bundles for the EP featuring t-shirts, cassette releases of the EP, and music from the label’s other bands. Allout Helter will also be featured on a four-way split featuring the label’s other bands, Perdition, DC Fallout, and Samuel Caldwell’s Revenge. The split will be released late 2011 or early 2012.
An Hour Made For Arson was recorded in Denver at Noisegate Studios with Ross McAffee. “We recorded it in one day, two songs in one day,” says Swirling. “We couldn’t be happier with how it sounds. It was a fun recording experience. A little bit of a hectic schedule, but we got it done!”
