6131 Records will handle a vinyl re-issue of Handsome's self-titled album, featuring members of Jets to Brazil, Quicksand, and Helmet. First released in 1997 on Epic Records, this will mark it's first appearance on vinyl.
Handsome was Jeremy Chatelain (Jets to Brazil, Cub Country), Tom Capone (Quicksand, Beyond), Peter Mengede (Helmet), Pete Hines (Murphy's Law), and Eddie Nappi (Mark Lanegan Band).

Singer Jeremy Chatelain had this to say about the album and it being reissued by 6131:
The Handsome record still sounds like New York City in 1996 to me. Every song on the record brings up a memory of dank rehearsal rooms, seedy clubs and edgy characters. I can remember rehearsing long hours on Mott Street below a gelato factory and above Sonic Youth. We practiced so loudly and with so much sheer force and repetition that Steve Shelley at one point walked in and asked us to stop. I'm really excited that the recording will once again see the light of day, this time on vinyl!
Pre-orders are available here.
