Blaine Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Is this the style of music we can expect from Near Mint, or do you hope to expand beyond this sound? I'm interested in the future of the label regardless of direction, more a question of curiosity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corey. Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Is this the style of music we can expect from Near Mint, or do you hope to expand beyond this sound? I'm interested in the future of the label regardless of direction, more a question of curiosity. I'd say that this type of emo sound is what we as a label really enjoy the most, so I wouldn't be surprised if you heard more bands similar to this. However, our next release is on the pop-punk side of things, and our third is heavier/spoken word. Also some re-issues of bands you already know are in the works if all goes according to plan. So the best way to answer this is, I'd say emo would be a significant genre, but we are definitely trying to expand beyond that. For the most part, I'd like to think our bands fit in the community of music with Topshelf, RFC, No Sleep, etc. - but that's not to say that every band will fit in that genre. We mainly just want to put out music we both love and support of course, regardless of it fitting to a specific sound. It just so happens we love emo. But for example, I personally like rap a lot and we've discussed even doing a rap/hip hop cassette tape. So who knows haha. Hope that helps answer your question without confusing you, kinda rambling here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that helps answer your question without confusing you, kinda rambling here. That was a perfect answer, thank you. I too love rap, and I've always wondered what it would be like to have a small label where I just released whatever I liked, regardless of genre. I plan to keep an eye on your label going forward. Good luck with the new venture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaine Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 There goes the hope of collecting every Near Mint release. Haha. At least it ended sooner than later. Where is the Fog variant going to be available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeepo Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 That Anna Sage. band fucking kills. I thought maybe I'd be able to pass this one up, but there's no way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corey. Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Thanks Corey! No problem, I'm about to respond to your email in a minute. There goes the hope of collecting every Near Mint release. Haha. At least it ended sooner than later. Where is the Fog variant going to be available? Haha! I'm not sure how we're doing that yet, either we're going to give it away with a random order, or do some sort of contest perhaps? I'll post on here once we have a solid idea.

I'm glad you're digging it so far, really excited about some of the upcoming projects I think people will dig. Also, hope this doesn't come as a complete bummer but the 2 band variants won't be sold through our webstore, the bands will have them. You could contact the band via facebook, twitter, etc and try to acquire one once we have them in hand and start shipping them. (They won't have them until a little bit after me, as I will have to mail them their copies) Or, you could shoot me an email at [email protected] and I can get in touch with the bands for you.
