"The awesomely rostered Teenage Disco Bloodbath Records stands out
with a passion driven basis of quality and integrity."
-Metal Maniacs Magazine
Hunter S. Thompson once said that "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.". On the other end of the spectrum, Will Killingsworth from Clean Plate Records states on his web site, "If you want something sleek, professional, and glossy you are going to have to look elsewhere. There are no pretensions here, just a stupid label with some stupid records. If I were you, I'd find this honesty refreshing." I'd like to think that our philosophies on running a label exist somewhere near the fine line that separates Hunter Thompson's experiences in the corporate music industry and Will's refreshingly "who gives a shit" DIY attitude.
TDB Records has been active since 2003 when Jonah Livingston (Backstabbers Inc., Ramming Speed) dropped out of the music industry program at Northeastern University. Growing from humble aspirations, TDB has become an internationally rostered, solidly distributed, full time project based in Boston, MA. Joined in 2006 by Northeastern Political Science major Caitlin Kelly, the label has taken on the goals of not only releasing passionate and intense Metal and Hardcore music, but also keeping political, social, and environmental concerns a priority. We make every attempt to work with companies that have positive environmental practices, work with local artists, do benefit events, and generally pull our weight.
Though we aren't interested in helping anyone play giant Clear Channel venues or getting CD's into corporate music chains, If we can expose people to awesome bands and expose bands to awesome people then we're happy with where our time and effort is going. We appreciate your support and please get in touch if you'd like to talk about our records, music, or just life in general.

This is the final recorded output of Seattle's 3-piece wrecking unit known as Playing Enemy. Formed from the ashes of Nineironspitfire and Kiss It Goodbye, Playing Enemy was highly active, releasing 2 full lengths and a bevy of EPs and seven inches before recording their swan song EP. 5 songs of distorted, warped misanthropic rage, sharp and cutting as ever. Packaged in a neat arigato pack with original art by frontman Demian Johnson. This is a one-time pressing of these final songs. Get it while you can.
