Local bands now available on vinyl

In the best do-it-yourself spirit, three local bands have their tunes out on 7-inch singles. The Know-It-Alls have their "Nightmare Village"/”Mother of Aviation" and teenpunk combos Hated Youth and Sector 4 have several of their songs featured on a new extended play record on Gainesville's Destroy label, appropriately titled "We Can't Help It If We're From Florida."
The KIA single, with a meatier version of "Mother of Aviation", costs about $400 to produce 200 singles, according to KIA bassist Burk Sauls. “We didn't count studio time in the figure, because we're probably going to release another one pretty soon."
Sauls and his fellow Know-It-Alls did their recording at the Lake Bradford studios co-owned by members of local rockers ELI, then had the vinyl mastered at a Dallas company.
The single, which sold out its first pressing, was distributed locally through Record Bar and Vinyl Fever on the band's own label.
