So my friend that worked for Capitol now works over at Interscope (Capitol had huge layoffs). So I’m trying to get some more insight into the “club”. Coincidentally she knows the dude that kinda started it. She’s only been there a month now, but I’m just gonna try to get whatever inside info she has.

As expected, the songs just destroyed me. I fuckin' cried as I related to both songs and how McTiernan delivers the lyrics just slayed me. Oof. Since their first release it's been just feels and emotions to a heavy sound. And that's what made me fall in love with hardcore to begin with way back in the day.

Shipping for me is 9.82, so thats pretty much 30 dollars for a single sided 7 inch? I actually love this song and have a huge soft spot for Thursday, but that's a no from me my guy.

Recoiled is getting reissued for its 10 year anniversary

They ended up scrapping this record and are supposedly going in a heavier direction now. What they had ready for 2024 was essentially Voyeurist 2.0 but more synth-heavy and experimental alongside the poppier elements. I had heard some demos and I'm happy they are going in a different direction. Likely an early 2025 release for this new album while they capitalize on this TOCS 20 year tour through the end of this year. We'll get a song or two by year end.

New jam, really hope this means more incoming and not false hope like my above post from, wow, 5 years ago.

That's what it costs lol. To send a 12 oz package from the US to Canada it cost $24.80. https://postcalc.usps.com/Calculator/MailServices?country=10054&ccode=CA&omil=False&dmil=False&retail=False&mdt=5%2F3%2F2024&mdz=23%3A59&m=6&dvi=%24 30&hscode=False&o=12 Plus mailing supplies. Plus somebody's wage to pack it up. Don't blame Deathwish blame the USPS/the economy. What ergs me is labels charging $20 bucks to send 3 LPS via media mail to a US address when it costs less than $5 bucks. I bought those ETID represses and it was ridiculous.

I just wish they would do an actual non-NFT Changing Of Times pressing. That’s the only record I legitimately want 😭

no recs but im very jealous, enjoy the trip!

Saw Orchid play a 200 cap room last night and I’m still reeling. If you’re going to any of the reunions, buckle up!

Will be 20 years in September….

My copy of home and Minor showed up from Amazon today. Not sure how these got a wider release, but I’m not complaining! Haven’t had a chance to spin it yet but have heard really good things about the pressing and mastering so far.

This.

bunch of colored restocks up: https://fatwreck.com/collections/colored-vinyl

Remastered anniversary edition of Gatecreeper's self-titled EP with bonus tracks from their early 7"s and splits: EP & Splits (10 Year Anniversary Edition) | GATECREEPER | King Of The Monsters Records (bandcamp.com)

New album from Sect (fronted by Chris Colohan of Cursed/Burning Love) "Plagues Upon Plagues" available for PO from Southern Lord on bandcamp and their website: Plagues Upon Plagues | SECT (bandcamp.com)

Anyone have any suggestions I can pass along to maybe improve the process? Like how you can “skip” with VMP and get credit, instead of having to cancel, and later rejoin and possibly losing your spot? Maybe just a skip/pause feature. Also here are some photos of the Eminem release:

Pre-orders are up now for the new RSD Essential version of The Misfits "Earth A.D. / Wolf's Blood" LP on Purple Swirl vinyl. These are a one shot deal. Theyr'e making them to order and it won't be repressed so get on it now if you're in need! These are due out 7/26/24 https://1234gorecords.shop/products/pre-order-the-misfits-earth-a-d-wolfs-blood-purple-swirl-vinyl-rsd-essential

Not sure if it applies to this version, but the recent-ish repress from a couple years back is cut at 45rpm and sounds great, with the added bonus of sounding like Samhain at 33rpm.

This record is going to fucking rip...

Charly Bliss - Forever - Lucky Number (luckynumbermusic.com)

I fully support this endeavor 😂 Detective Sad Heart!

I'd buy that for a dollar.... on bandcamp

WHIRR & NOTHING ROUND 2 BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND. Due to overwhelming response and influx of angry emails around the 10 Year Anniversary of Whirr & Nothings split EP reissue, we’re giving you a second chance at 3AM EST / 12AM PST. Music | Nothing (bandcamp.com)

TLAL said that their version is going up on May 10th. Not sure if these are supposed to be up yet.

White label at the show was $50 i believe. And it came with the signed pink poster they have in the merch shop now. They also all signed the white label, and gave it a pressed on seal and numbered it - can see the details here - https://www.instagram.com/p/C5tozugpfGa/?img_index=3. I'm not justifying the price for all that, but just sharing the info. I also agree the price is high for 7", but according to their social media, the reason the price is high on the items is so they can cover the cost of the unemployment merch, and the unemployment tickets. (still $10 shipping is a lot for only a 7")

As much as I love Thursday, the band they became post-reunion is just unbeliveable. They are doing album shows for 10+ years now, and recently they became a merchline band just like glassjaw and now they are selling 7 inches for 20 bucks. gtfo.

Carly Cosgrove - The Cleanest Of Houses Are Empty Preorder: https://waxbodega.com/products/carly-cosgrove-the-cleanest-of-houses-are-empty-pre-order And also I've been listening to the new Riley! - Keep Your Cool album that came out a couple weeks ago, similar to Glocca Morra / Origami https://counterintuitiverecords.com/products/riley-keep-your-cool-pre-order

Debut stand still LP coming out in June. Sounds like all the good LIHC/pop punk bands I like https://www.instagram.com/p/C6L-B6gtllg/?igsh=MXNlbTRsamhvdndneA==

Speed - Only One Mode: https://flatspotrecords.com/products/speed-only-one-mode-digital-ghost-marble-vinyl-pre-order?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0zUuBtoYlwr1pkQnCI4UORShPyrN2z0oGFy4DxgnC6g1FQ66wCCaCbSuU_aem_Ac12Ohy_yCKXvz3XYORBVB3udY01SJSkgLraIeBhF_0CddeEXv5zvZ7tjDOxliiJAlfbbEIohZE-evod5hcn_xV9

You're gonna have to wait until someone cancels or they up the pressing quantities, I would assume. I'll keep my eyes on emails from them in case they announce additional slots. If I learn anything, I'll post it.

This unabashedly sucks. I wish this band still rocked like they did on Guppy — it's been diminishing returns ever since.

Caveman new 7" up for pre-order in Europe, Something's Got To Give. The first 7" was a real belter!!! This should be up Stateside on To Live A Lie records, but I can't see it as yet? I'll update this when I see that it's up. https://www.grindpromotionrecords.com/products/caveman-something-s-got-to-give-7-pre-order https://www.juno.co.uk/products/caveman-somethings-got-to-give-vinyl/1014070-01/ This is now up on RevHQ https://revhq.com/products/caveman-somethings-got-to-give

Very excited for this one, Nurture was my favorite album of 2021

I finally got tracking today. Should go put tomorrow. I’m not even gonna try for a $7 refund even though I should bother them cause that’s lame as fuck to overcharge on shipping. Media mail is media mail for a reason. Better ship priority (which I never want for records) if you’re charging me priority rate.

This has to be the overstatement of the year. I'm in tons of boards and lots of Facebook groups and have literally never heard of this band until you dropped them in this thread. I just checked them out. Sounds like pretty good post-rock, so thanks for introducing them.

I've been listening to a lot of Whirr lately, and I've got a few thoughts. 1. I miss the good old days 2. In hindsight, they are the reason all of indie music shifted towards shoegaze. Ride and Slowdive reunion albums and countless new bands would not have happened without Whirr making shoegaze the indie zeitgeist of the last decade. 3. They will never get credit for point 2 because they are 'Canceled' 4. Despite point 3 they sold out of everything they have released post G.L.O.S.S.GATE, and they have ~850,000 monthly listeners on spotify. 5. Point 4 should logically make no sense because of Point 3, but it kind of just makes me depressed as hell because it's proof that this band got railroaded by their labels and the music media over some straight up nonsense that got turned into a sociopolitical warzone and they were the only casualty. I hope they get the money and recognition they deserve at some point. Despite there being hundreds of new shoegaze bands, I never hear Whirr named as an influence but the sonic influence is in everything. Also, I wanted to rank the albums/EPs and see what everyone thinks 1.Pipe Dreams 2. Distressor 3.Feels like you 4.Nothing Split 5. Around 6. Sway

"Kscope is thrilled to announce that throughout 2024 and into 2025 we will begin re-releasing the Oceansize catalogue, featuring their releases from 2007 onwards. Starting with a bang as an orange 12” on Record Store Day, the first release will be the EP Home & Minor, never before released on vinyl." https://kscopemusic.com/oceansize-join-kscope/

hahaha

If you really wanna know what the allure is with these "limited exclusives", go check out FLEABAY🤡 Those are the "real" collectors!

Damn...if I knew it was going to be such a hot ticket item I would have not cancelled my sub. I was planning to re-up for Helmet.
