PURE HEEL Return with Super-limited Edition Lathe-cut Picture Disc 7-inch Single & Music Video "Rockin' In The Free World" (Irish Voodoo Records)

It should be no secret by now that Buffalo Wrestle-core bruisers PURE HEEL are one of our favorite rising Punk/Hardcore-adjacent bands here at The Witzard. HEEL's current line-up consists of Eric Borawski AKA Doughy Ramone AKA Sweaty Vedder AKA Thick Neilsen AKA Bad Borawski, Jay Galvin AKA Captain Annoying, Jesse Muscato AKA The Claw, Rob Ohlenschlager AKA The Boy, and Joey Simmen AKA The Mangler. Amongst them, PURE HEEL's members have collectively spent time playing with The Bonesaw Romance, Buried Alive, Despair, Ghosts of War, Heavy Hearted, Kid Gorgeous, Lewd Dwedz Phased Out, P*ssing Match, Slugfest, Worse Things, and Wreckage. PURE HEEL have been together since 2016 and started dropping music online with Demo '16, soon followed up by King Kong Bundy EP (2017,) and Crime Spree (2019) all self-released on their Bandcamp page.


PURE HEEL signed with Fullerton, California-based Irish Voodoo Records in 2020 and shortly dropped a self-titled 2-track lathe-cut/digital single featuring "Solitary" & "King of Nothing." Just about a year later, PURE HEEL returned to Irish Voodoo to drop their second self-titled release, this time, boasting five tracks and availabe on multiple colored 7-inch vinyl colorways and, of course, digitally. Just yesterday, PURE HEEL returned once more to Irish Voodoo Records with a new release just in time for St. Patty's Day entitled "Rockin' In The Free World." It's a super-limited edition lathe-cut picture disc 7-inch vinyl limited to 25 copies. We bought a copy yesterday afternoon and as of press time today, there were only nine copies left! Irish Voodoo's product listing page briefly explains, "Two-Song Single. First song is a cover of "Rockin' In The Free World" by Neil Young. Second song is a secret."


Captain Annoying ellaborated a bit, via email: "the world is falling apart and Niel [Young] knew it 30 years ago. We are just broadcasting his message to a 21st Century audience. "Hey hey, my my... PURE HEEL will never die.'" Just in case you miss out on a chance to get one of these super-limited edition St. Patrick's day treat 7-inches, there's an accompanying music video for PURE HEEL's version of "Rockin' In The Free World" now available on Irish Voodoo Records' YouTube channel. PURE HEEL posted "{wondering where we've been?!} WE ARE CURRENTLY WRITING/RECORDING A NEW ALBUM FOR Irish Voodoo Records. We are excited for this release and, honestly, we agree this will be our best batch of songs to date. Until then, help us out! Grab a shirt from our webstore or grab some records from Irish Voodoo. Up THE HEELS. Buffalo style" on their Facebook page last November. While supplies last, there are 25 24 9 6 copies remaining of PURE HEEL's new limited edition thathe-cut picture disc 7-inch, "Rockin' In The Free World," now availabe directly from Irish Voodoo Records.
