Listen: Guest Mix by Knife Hits Records

Knife Hits
The process of smoking marijuana by heating up the tips of butter knives til they’re extremely hot, taking pieces of bud and pressing them between the tips of the flaming hot knives and sucking the created smoke through a funnel of some sort. Quite effect and a very nice clean burn.
Urban Dictionary

Not to be confused with screamo band of the same name (that made its way into a mix that Letters From a Tapehead did for us few years ago), Knife Hits Records is a Phillyspecializing in punk, sludge and noise rock records. Their hour long mix collects material from both the label’s vaults (Fight Amp, Low Dose) and from bands affiliated with the label (Plaque Marks, Pale Shelter, Gunna Vahm).
