It's Alive! It's Alive! ... Houses of the Horny now available on wax!

Mentors Houses of the Holy LP

Out for the first time in twenty-seven years, the Mentors' Houses of the Horny is now on wax! The 1994 self-released work had been only available on Translucent Purple Vinyl cassette and was solely sold at shows or through mail order. No expense was spared in reviving the patient and the sound is amazing. This was the final band release with the late, great El Duce at the helm. This pressing
is on translucent purple vinyl, at Dr. Heathen Scumbag's personal request. You will not be disappointed!

This is, my dear friends, a... stool sample... for... the... ages!

Out Now! "You Axed For It!" on "Taste the Foam" Yellow Wax! Only 300 Pressed

Hello Mates! We only have a handful left of the worldwide sold "You Axed For It!" on pink wax. Because of the high demand at Mentors shows for vinyl, Dr. Heathen Scum and I decided to press a short run of 300 on "Foam" yellow wax. And, as always, these were mastered from original analog master tapes. This is the same cut at the pink version. The sound is incredible! Hope you are all well. Stu L. Sample

Jimmy Alvarado, over at Razorcake, the first and only official non-profit music magazine in America primarily dedicated to supporting independent music culture, likes what he hears and sees on the brand new 7" vinyl release of the nascent MENTORS as fresh-faced degenerates caught in the basement before they cut their first album. Check out this review of the Oblivion Train 7" single and see if you agree.

Catch the Raving Rock Rant on the SSR Mentors re-issue at Razorcake

Aphid Peewit (quite the nom-de-plume) has seen fit to heap "... steaming superlatives on the timely re-issue of this punk-metal classic...," YOU AXED FOR IT!, Stool Sample Records' debut vinyl LP release. Get an eyeful for yourself right here.

Check out... "Oblivion Train"

This is the Mentors, or rather the Eldon Hoke Band. Recorded in 1976 in Steve Broy's basement. Stu fell in love with it immediately. It has a primitive crunch. Oh, to be a fly on the wall that day. Have a listen!
