thanks for your patience with me on this one, y'all. i know there have been some headaches over the last year or so. we've really been going through it. i'm def not trying to make any excuses though and want everyone to be happy with what they ordered. i will say tho, i've had so much support from friends when it gets crazy, but day to day, all customer service, shipping, receiving, inventorying—it's all just me. so it can get kinda backed up sometimes (it is right now). we're bringing on more folks to help soon and gradually rebounding from the whole Awesome Merch fiasco. i can't express how much that knocked us completely on our ass tho. i think we're putting out some of the nicest, high quality, intentionally packaged records of any indie label our size currently despite all that. and i think we're gonna get things more organized and streamlined in the next few months. so, yeah, idk, i am rambling, but i just wanted to say thanks for bearing with us on some super annoying pre-orders. we'll definitely get things humming along again here shortly. oh! also! anyone getting the "Polaris Blue" variant and finding it doesn't look as intended. we're looking into how this happened as this isn't what we ordered. i was as suprised as any of you. here's some copy pasta i've sent a few people who have emailed to inquire about it: tytyty

The product description quotes Jeremy as wanting to have it sound closer to Four, and less “claustrophobic”. I don’t know if I had any big problems with ISB’s mix, but I also know that Four sounds great. So I’m interested in hearing the new mix, especially as a side-by-side.

i am so glad i never saw this thread before

It took seven years for the album. I think I could get a couple days to update my profile

$20 + media mail.

Shut up.

2nd Ave & Everyday Records in Portland were great successes. Gonna have to get the luggage weighed for the flight home on Friday!

I know everyone will be shocked, but you can order all 4 variants on her webstore now.

I scored a Solace test pressing today! If you guys don't care no one else will, so I came here to share the news cuz I'm excited.

Received my copy from Amazon today. What's with still doing 2xLP releases in a single-sleeve jacket?!?! Fuckin' shitballs.

Anthology of Dead Ends is coming. Amazon Pre-order is up. 10/27 release date.

Only way to settle this is whoever has the hotter wife Pics please

It actually looks really nice with the small amount of blue in there. Works really well with the cover. People emailing you to complain about it is pretty pathetic imo.

the band didn't love how they recorded it and it's been bothering them for a long time so they wanted to have Brad and Emily Lazar remix and remaster it - it definitely sounds a lot clearer and packs a bit more punch in certain songs and moments (specially Kerosine and DNA for me)

Had my 'Shine' copy arrive on release day and honestly, they've nailed every facet of it. The variant, artwork, layout and signed insert are all spot on. Really enjoying the album so far and feel like it's only going to get better the more I listen to it.

From Andrew’s Pillar group: UMG was not supposed to post this yet! They've taken it down for us so as not to compete with Andrew's drop (that was going to be announced to Camp wilderness before anywhere else). We'll be posting again about this (and more) soon!

I wasnt taking it as bashing, apologies if I came off as defensive, just providing some clarity from the literal person who comes up with 90% of variants for our label and orders them. The reality is that the amount that splatters, or any version of a splatter, sell higher than a solid/single color is honestly very staggering, especially in the age of social media where 50-75% of people buying vinyl are literally just buying the coolest looking variant to post on social media. I as well am not a huge fan of splatters on solids, I very rarely do them unless they are part of a half/half or in an aside.bside. Yes, new CIS, album rules. These aren't even the 2 best songs from it, in my opinion.

Wonder why a perfectly good sounding record needs a remix/remaster. Should have done it for the 7.5-year anniversary though. Also missing the 2nd lp with demos and live tracks, could have easily made it to a 50 bucks deluxe package, kinda dissapointed.

From the Summer of 1996 through 1997 the only song I knew by them was Waggy and I played that song daily. Been hooked ever since. I'm not expecting an unbelievable album but I know I'll love quite a few tunes. Those two guys just sound good together man.

Probably gonna get a lot of hate for this but I feel like people will back any new Blink stuff regardless of how underwhelming it is just because it's back to Mark, Tom and Travis... "Edging" was pretty cringeworthy to say the least and both new songs they released today aren't anything special to write home about, though both are lightyears ahead of the first single, that's for sure... I feel like Blink kinda fell off after TOYPAJ, but that's just my shitty opinion 💁‍♂️ Wish that was the Blink we were getting back after this many years later - but it doesn't appear so

Darkside and No Heart to Speak up are absolute jams.

Darkside, No Heart To Speak Of, and Pin The Grenade are great.

Fuck the prices on the new reissue. There's no reason it should cost that much even in today's market. Thank god I don't feel the need to add any more copies of Isis records I already own to my collection.

My black came completely black. It’s so black it’s like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black.

I’ve corrected this with an afternoon listen. @prowl20 was not lying about that bass work. Probably going to explore at least 1 more of their releases to seal the deal but it feels like a pretty obvious no-brainer.

The 20th Anniversary 3xLP.

Agnostic Front has an action figure. Milo has a bobblehead. Gorilla Biscuits have a toy. What’s your point? You only listen to crust punk?

Did I miss something about ETR?

The first one could be FSF “How To Start A Fire” and the last one looks like FSF “Hide Nothing” - in for Chasing Victory, hands down.

Time to update my username

That Thing You Do is getting teased!!! https://x.com/mondonews/status/1697293717571355016?s=46&t=xLF6hMDbYhpkaZO63ub1NA

Now to try stop my self when the band exclusive pops up...

Pale horses reissue friday at noon

I cannot tell a lie I wish this was not a silly PN variant release. Still bought a copy to see what’s up.

Here's the thing about this. For $10 you bet your ass I'm getting it. For $20 I'm on that shit. For $30 I'm questioning whether I really need it. For $40 I'm out. For $50 shipped there is NO FUCKING WAY, BROTHER. I'm rolling over in my grave.

Yeah this one of the few bands where I've found something I've genuinely enjoyed on every release. No other band gets me this hyped.

The sad truth is we're never getting that band back. That band ended when Jerry Finn died. He was essentially a fourth member during their golden age. And as probably one of the more cynical assholes on here, yeah Edging sucks. It would be like using "Built This Pool" as the first single of California. But these two are pretty good. You're never going to feel the same magic their late 90s/early 00s music gave to you when you were a teenager, you've grown as have they.

This! I mean this band hasn't done anything better than medicore for 20 years now, so it's not really a surprise. What is really surprising though that everyone around the internet love these songs regardless how bad they are. Gotta be good for being in the band that you can do whatever you want (can?) people will love it because hey Tom is back. I mean one more time is sure has this nostalgic vibe but a tiktokker with 5 followers would replicate this better outcome and probably they spent shitload of money on this while the music video looks like shit. The song idea and lyrics are cool though. Edging is cringe especially from people almost 50. The 3rd one is the only promising one, but seriously how bad poor Mark sounds in it? I mean he is the best for kicking cancer's ass, and probably it took it's tow so not bashing him. This is the best of the 3 with st vibes but way too low quality altogether to revisit at all. I kinda envy you guys that you can be as excited for your childhood heroes' new music, I lost this ability with age sadly.

Wow… “More Than You Know” is genuinely sick. I kept preparing myself for them to fuck it up with some gross glitchy electronic shit like they’d do on California or Nine, but they didn’t. Great track.

Listened to Guts today and feeling pretty meh about it. Maybe because Sour felt like something new, this new one comes across as more formulaic & derivative. It sounds like it’s trying to mine & ape 2000’s emo & alternative, especially Weezer. I mean, shit, the album’s opening track, echoes & sounds like a rip of “My Name is Jonas”. I don’t hate the record…but don’t love it either. It’s a listen a few times and then move on kinda record.

Pain of Truth release variant with alt cover /99. Only a few left. https://dazestyle.bandcamp.com/album/not-through-blood

I played in a crusty/grindy hardcore band in the early 2000s, trust I know who Bathtub Shitter are.

the way UO is talking rn is that everything currently blurred is a non-Fest pressing, i.e. will be sold online.

New LP from Gravesend on 20 Buck Spin - Gowanus Death Stomp: GRAVESEND - GOWANUS DEATH STOMP LP ***PRE-ORDER*** - 20 Buck Spin

The official Lydia IG reposted a Near Mint video of it spinning when it was first released, that's pretty much the only source of legitimacy with this press.
