Subpoena the Past - This Year's Eclipse

Download

I've got some bad news for you: the GSL website is no more. That'll make my attempt to archive the label's discography more difficult, especially with the 90s releases. If you have any info on them, I'd love it if you could share.
Subpoena the Past was a short-lived Sonny Kay (founder of GSL and vocalist for the VSS, Angel Hair, etc.) side project. Their two EPs showcase Sonny's more "experimental" side. It's basically synth drum and bass loops that venture into "goth" ambient territory. This EP features Joey Karam of Le Shok/the Locust fame.

Earliest release I could find on Gold Standard Laboratories.

Angel Hair was an post-hardcore/screamo-ish band from Boulder, Colorado. They were around from 92-95 and featured Sonny Kay on vocals. Kay was the founder of GSL and would go on to sing in the VSS and Year Future.

Gold Standard Laboratories (GSL) was an independent record label which was founded in 1993 in Boulder, Colorado by Sonny Kay. In 2001, it was moved to San Diego where Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (At the Drive-In/De Facto/the Mars Volta) became co-owner. It was headquartered in Los Angeles until GSL closed its doors on October 29, 2007.
