Short history...
started the label in 2000 with the first Minnesota Attacks, Vaz/Sicbay split seven-
inch. Found Climber in St. Louis; they were poppy and liked to tour. Learning Curve did
a CD and a seven-inch. Put out a Snails seven-inch in 2001 (they later became We
Invented Tornadoes). In 2002 put out the second Minnesota Attacks, Exercise/Dames split
seven-inch. I asked Paddy if he wanted to help out with the label, he said sure. We
released an Exercise CD EP and later a full-length album. Did a Kruddler record. In
2003 released the We Invented Tornadoes CD. Learning Curve recently released a Fuck
Yeahs seven-inch and the Soviettes LPII on vinyl. Soon we'll release the Hold Steady LP
on vinyl with Women Records.

LCR 058 PLAQUE MARKS : ANXIETY DRIVEN NERVOUS WORSHIP LP 11.2017
01. PLAQUE MARKS
02. OREGON CHEM-TRAIL
03. ANIMAL PLEASURES
04. URBAN BLIGHTERS
05. PIECEMAKER
06. ANXIETY DRIVEN NERVOUS WORSHIP
Founded by three veterans of Philly's punk and hardcore scenes, whose current and
recent bands include Creepoid, Fight Amp, and Ecstatic Vision - and all three of whom
work shifts at the city's preeminent rock dive, Kung Fu Necktie - Plaque Marks pound
out the rawest, most caustic music any of these musicians has ever made. The band is
the self-proclaimed "stain on the smile of the Philadelphia music scene." Plaque
Marks credit Texas legends Rusted Shut and Cherubs for inspiration, as well as the
early works of contemporaries Pissed Jeans- and while some of the members' other work,
particularly Fight Amp resides in this ballpark too, Plaque Marks take it to new
depths. This is noise-rock in its simplest and most corrosive state, and Anxiety
Driven Nervous Worship is right at home on Minneapolis label Learning Curve Records,
responsible for releases by Vaz, Hammerhead, and Gay Witch Abortion. With digital
download card and poster insert.

perfection over the past several years through tours with bands like Whores. and
Wrong. Their new album "Holy Terror" (out 9/25 on Learning Curve Records) is the
band's debut full-length and it finds the trio in peak form, charging through the
wheat fields with all the irreverence of The Melvins and the harshness of Unsane.

07. (WE'RE IN A) TRIBUTE BAND
08. I COLLECT STAMPS
Chicago Sleaze rockers Something Is Waiting release their second full length LP
"Songs For the Sally Beauty Pavilion". Massive, pounding backbeats propel sinister,
bluesy riffage, while one of the baldest voices in all of music snarls like Axl at
his most pissed, spitting out lyrics that dismantle his various targets, viciously
yet poetically. Music scene foibles and other cultural trash fires are the focus of
many songs - soulless retro fashions, delusional cover bands, and more. Gobbo is
a wordsmith but, make no mistake, he is singing literally and directly about the
issues on his mind. When he sings about "Nikki Lane's Neo Nashville Airbnb," he is
singing about the time he stayed at Nikki Lane's Airbnb in Nashville. "Maybe it's
the way they mix chuggy hard rock, shrieking crust, and greasy glam metal to create
a sound that's reminiscent of everyone from Today Is The Day and Dillinger Escape
Plan to Ministry and Dope. Maybe it's how they perform hostile, chugging crushers
with titles like "Fuck In Peace" and "Hippies Became Lawyers". But though their sound
is harsh and mind-boggling, the Chicago quintet have none the less managed to capture
our hearts and minds with their patented form of driving pissy weirdo metal."
Limited to 500 copies.

From start to finish, guitarist/vocalist Sam Frederick's angular riffing is
electrifying and their theatrical howls are right in league with the best of their
wild-eyed predecessors - frontmen like David Yow, Circus Lupus' Chris Thomson, and
US Maple's Al Johnson. Beneath Frederick's manic energy, the unshakable rhythm
section of drummer Lars Oslund and bassist Ali Terveen drives forward with ironclad
intent. Minneapolis' preeminent weekly, City Pages, describes a recent New Primals
show as "a festival of the id, a madcap display of what would happen if you demolished
your inhibitions and gave yourself to the animal sleeping in your brain." Kicking
off with an album release show on March 20th, the band will take its "festival of
the id" on the road for a spring tour.

Reptoid is a one-man, industrial-influenced noise-rock band from Oakland, California.
The sole member, Jordan Sobolew, surrounds himself with an army of drums, homemade
fuzz pedals, noise devices and a sampler, to produce spastic, hypnotizing rhythms,
and painfully amplified sounds drenched in effects through an oversized pedal-board
full of odd implements. Vocals are delivered through a mic strapped directly to the
face by a modified respirator mask. Everything is performed live and without the aid
of a computer or backing tracks. "The intent is to convey frenetic, third eye-opening
energy," says Sobolew. Debut full-length Worship False Gods is dazzling. Even those
listeners bearing no knowledge of the music's origin will be wowed by Reptoid - an
onslaught of churning noise-rock, punctuated by an array of glitchy sounds and
propelled by Sobolew's drumming which ranks somewhere between the frantic assaults
of Brian Chippendale and the almighty hammering of Dale Crover. Had Worship False
Gods been bashed out by a full band, it would be regarded as a devastating slab of
experimental rock, in league with Daughters, The Locust or Lightning Bolt. But the
kicker is that this is a solo project, composed and performed solely by Sobolew,
using a small mountain of highly customized gear. For one person to execute these
songs, live, in real time, without any sort of accompaniment or enhancement,
is a technical marvel. As an awe-struck Invisible Oranges proclaimed in 2017:
"Reptoid encases feral-yet-precise drumming with noxious clouds of noise and maniacal
synth. And it's just one guy." Limited to 500 copies total.

From Athens, Georgia, Vincas conjure a uniquely Southern brand of death-rock
-a thrilling, chilling, Deep South cemetery stomp. The band take cues from the
assorted works of H.P. Lovecraft, Howlin' Wolf, and David Lynch, whilst bashing out
some of the most macabre post-punk this side of The Birthday Party. A mix of live
and programmed drums propel twangy guitars, distorted bass, and frontman Chris
McNeal's nefarious baritone, through ten gleefully dark, cinematic anthems. With
song titles like "Until It Rains Red," "The Witch," and "Bury Me Upside Down,"
Vincas' drama is moonlit, morbid, and lots of fun. The Nick Cave influence is
strong, but the setting is a haunted shack on the banks of a Georgia swamp. McNeal
(who also rocks as a member of the renowned Maserati) states: "Pretty much every
song on the record is about an unimaginable evil destroying or enhancing a person's
life. Just a random horrible or liberating experience." Vampiric lust oozes through
lyrics such as "I've been here all along / Your body is my home / I'll build a bed
out of your bones" (from "The Witch") and "I'll crawl through your window / I'll
scratch, let me in / Say the words and let me in" (from "Let Me In"). Phantasma is
Vincas' third full-length, following 2013's Blood Bleeds and 2016's Deep in the Well.
The album was engineered by Mike Albanese (Maserati), and mixed and mastered Kyle
Spence (Harvey Milk). Newest Vincas member Gene Woolfolk, who joined during the
recording of Phantasma, is a member of noise-rock supergroup Plaque Marks. Genre:
Southern Rock, Swamp Rock, Grunge, Goth RIYL - Shellac/Don Caballro/ Boys Noise,
Umberto, Strangulated Beatoffs, Big Black, Unsane, Birthday Party Lim. to 500 copies.

Blacklisters formed in 2008, quickly earning a reputation as a formidable live act
through aggressive, confrontational performances riddled with dark humor and drawing
comparisons to The Jesus Lizard and Pissed Jeans. Blacklisters returned to Greenmount
Studios in 2019 to record their third album, Fantastic Man. The new album strips back
the band's sound and song structures to mirror their ferocious energy as a live band.
It was recorded live, in one room, in one day. With the rough edges exposed and the
years of touring and playing together apparent, Blacklisters have created an
exhilarating, unapologetic album that pushes their strengths to the fore.
They have achieved what they set out to do, to make an album that was two things:
simple and massive. "There's a band called Blacklisters, from Leeds and they play
this crazy hardcore music... they're just brilliant." - Simon Neil, Biffy Clyro
"Buried beneath the noise and feedback is a tightly coiled sense of dynamics,
punctuated by angular shards of guitar...splendidly fucked up" - Kerrang! "Mclusky
being Pulled Apart By Horses" - NME Genre: Noise Rock, Punk, Math Rock, Grunge,
Post Punk RIYL - Jesus Lizard, Unsane, Whores. Idles, Pissed Jeans First pressing
is 300 copies on colored vinyl.
