Kansas City has long been home to a loud, filthy, noise-soaked community. You can find it in the dark corners of hole-in-the-wall slice spots, auto body shops, and grimy punk venues. One long-time staple of this scene is Canyons, known for their gruff and honest portrayal of their circumstances and the world around them. Canyons has seen countless scenes, DIY houses, and contemporaries come and go, but they’ve lent some treble to each and every one of them.
As a celebration of this determination and resiliency, the band offer a newly re-recorded version of One Man’s Trash. This reimagined version of the cassette/CD-only release from 2019 presents these songs the way they were intended: louder and meaner than ever. The session was recorded by drummer Sean Rehmer and mixed/mastered by Portland engineer Nate Abner (ILS).
One Man’s Trash is the first in a trilogy of nine track, 20-minute projects that includes Stay Buried (2020, Knife Hits) and the forthcoming Clutter LP (release date TBA). As the band started work on, they agreed that OMT should first see a proper vinyl release. The original tracks were re-recorded, and a painting of the original cover art by David Watt was commissioned. Dustin White handled the vinyl layout and just like that, this era of Canyons can finally be honored.
OMT is landing on vinyl December 19 via Learning Curve, Mishap, Head Records, and TGICRECS. Each label has 50 copies. More information here.
