Subscum / Kaukolė - split 7"
How to use the reserve function
If you'd like to purchase items from our site but want to save money on shipping costs, you can use our reserve function to combine your orders over an unlimited period of time, and ship them together for one combined shipping price when you are ready.
Just hit the 'reserve' button at the checkout page as your shipping option when you've finished making your order, and your order will automatically be held in reserve here until you are ready for us to ship everything to you.You can keep as many orders in reserve with us via our site as you like, until you are ready to ship. Just send us an email when you are ready to ship your reserve orders, and we will get in touch with the combined shipping price, or ship for free if you have exceeded the minimum order amount for free shipping to your address.
Can the reserve function be used to get free shipping? Yes - If your combined order total is more than £50 within the UK, over £150 within the EU, or over £225 worldwide, we'll ship your order to you via courier service, for free.
Here's a step by step guide to using it:
1. Click on the account icon to log into your account.
If you don't have an account, please click 'create account' to make one. If you had an account on the old RWDFWD site, please create a new one with the same email address used on the old site - this will ensure your previous orders are brought through to your new account.
2. Add records to your cart as normal.
3. When you're ready to check out, select 'ship'.
4. Then select 'Reserve items' on the shipping method list, then continue to payment.
5. Once payment is complete, your order will show in your account as 'unfulfilled'. We will have put all the products aside in reserve for you to combine with other orders and ship later in bulk.
6. When you're ready to ship all the items you have in reserve, email us on info@rwdfwd.com and we will calculate the shipping due and arrange for payment to be taken.
7. Sit tight and wait for your records to arrive in the post!

EU Order info
Unfortunately, the UK is no longer part of the EU - This means that certain shipments sent to addresses there from us may be subject to tax and / or import duty - All orders sent from RWDWD are sent ‘DDU’ - That is, duty unpaid - any import tax and/or duty is the sole responsibility of the buyer.
If you would like to use our reserve function to group several orders into one large shipment, we can arrange for it to be sent tax and duty pre-paid so you don’t have to worry about it at a later date - Contact us for more information.
Recently collected during a trip through Ukraine and into Kyiv, we got a small handful (all that we could get!) of this rrrraaw and heavyweight grindcore split 7".
12 tracks in total - split between Kyiv, Ukraine's Subscum band (shouts to Vlad & crew!) and Vilnius, Lithuania's Kaukolé - on a co-release between Grindfather productions, Acid Redux Productions, No Time Records, No Name Records.
We're proud to have a slice of the Kyiv & Vilnius underground sound here for those of you want to dive into this madness and pick up one of these 7"s - including extra subscum stickers that we got given and a killer fold out linoprint art poster too.
Big respect to the Subscum band especially, for making this music despite the ongoing, intense full scale invasion of Russia into Ukrainian territory, despite the relentless drone & missile attacks, the sirens, the powercuts in Kyiv and around, despite life being made hard... Or maybe it's better to say 'because of' not just 'despite' because survival & the living of life as an act of resistance comes in many forms - with members of the band having to serve in the military or other key war time factory occupations, living life and making music as a band is no longer a simple privilege, it's part of a survival act, a noise that needs to be made, a vital juggling act of sorts, some sanity within the madness.
Play this shit loud, and let the noise soundtrack the burning down the imperialist death machine, drown out the worldwide extension of war mongers; let it deafen, indeed - bring death to - those who oppose justice, peace and freedom in favour of capital gain. Fuck Putin and all supporters of the war machine. Freedom to Ukraine and all their territories.
Right we said our bit - come grab yourself a copy of this loud & proud disc - we only have three copies available, and once they're gone, that's it.
P.S.: If you want more imported Ukrainian goods, also check that Sunday Embassy tape (Yes Vlad! who said a grindcore guy can't also make acid-y and dubby chicago-meets-sheffield-meets-kyiv house?) and also check that wicked Forma Formanta tape we got straight from Kyiv, for more darkwave noize dub vibes.
