Record Store Day is fast approaching, and the list of special releases grows by the day. The latest, and one of the most exciting, ones we’ve got word of is a 3-way split between Merchandise, Destruction Unit and Milk Music entitled USA '13. The LP will be released by 540 Records and limited to a one-time pressing of 2000 copies. The three bands have been closely linked, churning out similar styles of post-punk and touring together a year ago. Merchandise has released the first track from the LP entitled “Figure Out” and can be found here. Merchandise's and Destruction Unit's upcoming tour dates are listed below along with the LP track listing.
