Congratulations to Nicholas Rogoza who answered March’s skill testing SLATES trivia question correctly (the answer was “Black Slabbath“). Mr. Rogoza will receive a test pressing of the SLATES/Old Sins split 7″.
Leading up to the release of SLATES LP2 “Prairie Fires” we are holding a trivia contest on the 1st of each month for all our facebook friends. Stay tuned for the April Fool’s Day question.
