i wish people would stop doing this, make a new post, this has nothing to do with sing the sorrow

If anyone can't listen to him anymore I'll gladly pay shipping to take your Shellac/Big Black/Etc off your hands

Also, now that I have time, I knew these would go in a hurry, and I'm surprised they haven't already announced a new, 2nd round variant. I get why it's annoying, but it's a pita to make a new thread, while on lunch, on my phone. I only bumped the thread to notify the 6 people who would care enough to even be on the boards midday. Between the way IG and FB have just become giant commercials for anything for sale, Reddit, Spotify, email, texts, and all the other shit bigger bands do to promote us giving them money, if you find out here there's too much disconnect from the artist for you to actually have fomo about it. (You= all you internet folks in general- myself included)

Deathwish variants are up, both are /200: The Red Chord "Fused Together in Revolving Doors" - Deathwish Inc

Indie merch variants already up. https://www.indiemerch.com/theredchord/

I can't imagine liking AFI and also being this much of a dweeb. Good luck.

I am not fine with him saying that bullshit, but I did read somewhere his apology. I believe he has grown and moved forward. I just saw them recently and it was beautiful. I still listen to them regularly. Of course, we all have to make up our own minds about apologies we accept or what we can tolerate from an artist even though we disagree. If he was still showing anti-Semitic signs, I'd get rid of all of my records by them.

I was thinking about that recently as well. I last saw them live in 2008 or so and already the vocals were kind of rough. Johnny’s vocals couldn’t really match the highs from the recorded material. Actually all the times that I saw them they didn’t go up that high. Still would love to go to one of these shows though, they were just so ahead of their time.

Knocked Loose is gonna be soon announcing a fall tour with Drain, Militarie Gun, and City Morgue. Hell of a lineup.

New Night Sins song & video. The new record drops tomorrow.

Had a good one this morning. Ripped a nice little squeaker while my wife was getting ready and she thought it was the dog playing with a toy.

On a related note, Joe's new side project with members of RX Bandits/The Sound of Animals Fighting and The Velvet Teen is putting out its first EP June 28th. PO here: https://bornlosersrecords.com/collections/hard-chiller

There was a listening party on Bandcamp for the album and holy fuck…there hasn’t been anything close this year to touching this album and I don’t think anything will for the rest of the year. It is spectacular.

Yea, I’m sure they probably just didn’t play the tests or didn’t pay close attention when doing so. Just figured I’d weigh in that it IS possible they weren’t at fault.

Ding ding ding

My favorite Ohio anecdote of all time is this: I was driving cross country with my at the time girlfriend, east to west coast. We drove straight through the middle of the country because why the fuck not, right? We're going through West Virginia (gross) and we get to the Ohio border and stop at literally the first place we see to use the bathroom. I walk in the door to this gas station bathroom and the first thing I see, not written huge or angrily - just kind of small and matter of fact, "West Virginia fucking sucks." I've chuckles to myself every time I've thought about that for the last 12 years. "Ohio: at least it's better than WV," will forever be their motto to me.

Really long and in-depth article and Interview with Nick Bassett by the same dude that wrote the Navigating cancelled bands article last year. Here we have about as complete a history or Whirr as we will probably ever see.

"25th Anniversary Edition of AFI’s fourth studio album, Black Sails in the Sunset, first released on Nitro Records in 1999. Described by Alternative Press as the band's “first epic” in a 4.5-star review, the title is also the first to feature AFI's current line-up with the addition of Jade Puget. This special pressing features three bonus tracks; never-before-released song “Weight of Words,” Japanese B-side “Who Knew?” and “Lower It,” which is exclusive to the vinyl format."

Yea I like it a lot.

What’s the overall consensus after the singer posted all that anti-Semitic stuff a few years ago? I used to love them and if the situation has been rectified I might snag a copy

Damn I thought it came out today so I didn’t bother looking for the leak. Guess I’ll do that today!

They handled this whole drop perfectly. Waited for everything to be in hand, were up front about letting fans know which variants were coming and from where, and didn't price gouge.

Swinging back to bands with redeemable qualities for a sec, that new DIIV is absurdly good. I’m a little obsessed with it.

Wow. Glad this actually went to use.

The Red Chord estore is already shipping. Mine was shipped this morning

And So I Watch You From Afar – Velocity Records

XMC7N6NW Got a code to their web store for my birthday. No promises it works. AS A GIFT, WE'VE SENT YOU A 15% OFF CODE FOR ANYTHING IN OUR STORE.

Just to jerk off Contention some more, just got my lp from The Coming Strife and it sounds amazing! Heavy as fuck. Might have to listen to the transient effects of light on water after this 👀

BSM is putting out a limited pressing (/500) of Three Trapped Tigers' first 3 EPs and debut album in a pretty sick package. Be warned - shipping to the U.S. is ATROCIOUS but this is the first time on vinyl for the EPs so I caved. Splatter/Red/Yellow/Blue 4 x LP set with die-cut sleeve Included: EP EP 2 EP 3 Route One or Die https://bsmrocks.com/products/three-trapped-tigers-route-one-or-die-ep1-3

New Kishi going up for pre-order tomorrow. See his instagram for details.

It certainly looks to be foil. The new Microwave record also has a foil cover and it def. looks really cool.

Thanks, grabbed the Rough Trade variant. It is up on the US RT site as well: https://www.roughtrade.com/en-us/product/monsters-of-folk/monsters-of-folk

Haven’t seen any posts on this, but arty Silence of the Lambs with Nicholas Cage? I’m so in. Also looking forward to I Saw the TV Glow this weekend (although sounds like it might not be that much of a horror movie after all?).

He finished the date album and rereleased it as Altavista. Fair warning he has referenced a “special vinyl” that is “coming soon” - could be this or there could be something else more elaborate on the way. https://childishgambino.com/products/atavista-vinyl-lp ps make a thread specifically for this if you want. I don’t give a crap.

I thought about that too, and it’s plausible for sure. But you’d think the bad plates would’ve been destroyed after they were rejected as a precaution.

"Columns of Impenetrable Light" is the cold new split between oppressive post-punk/darkwave outfit Bleached Cross (Protagonist Music) and post-punk stalwarts The True Faith (A La Carte Records). After working together on the co-release of the Bleached Cross B-Side and demo compilation "Exhumed," which featured a remix by The True Faith, both bands and labels have converged to deliver a sonic exploration of two sides of the same coin- ruminations on life and death, hope and despair, presented across 8 new propulsive and brooding tracks featuring two unique vinyl colorways on reverse stock jackets adorned with foil stamped lettering. The record also features art design by Coward's Way for a complete audio and visual experience. This is music for contemplating the void between the earthly realm and the infinite blackness that awaits us after our last breath. This is Columns of Impenetrable Light: step inside and see what lies beyond. Track Listing: 01. Bleached Cross "Grief's Eternal Wound" 02. Bleached Cross "Rain of Tears" 03. Bleached Cross "Litany" 04. Bleached Cross "The Weeping" 05. The True Faith "What If (I Could Tell You)" 06. The True Faith "The Means (ft. Dutch Experts)" 07. The True Faith "Life Awaits Us" 08. The True Faith "What Is Owed" /250 "Rain of Tears" silver in clear w/black and white splatter (Protagonist exclusive) /250 black in clear w/silver and white splatter (A La Carte exclusive

Just about the only scenario that makes sense is that they previously rejected a test press missing track 3 and then approved a fixed one but then the plant used the wrong plates for the final product.

There's a silver lining. It's only $225 for a record signed by Billy.

There was nothing inside the mailer other than the album. No receipt or invoice or packing slip or anything else. Just the album.

Honestly, how could it not be DTR’s fault if they’re supposed to approve the tests beforehand? And I wonder what other NFG release they’re planning on releasing this year. Finally another NGCS repress? Or the first FTSTYS?

2 new singles out today with Andrew Wells (singer of Eidola). And they’re fucking awesome. Also, Andrew Wells talked about the future of the band today. He’s lead but they’re giving Jon more. He said it’s basically Secret Band 2.0 which is perfect. And Kurt Travis and Jonny Craig can hop on some tracks if they want. I’m very much looking forward to things now.

Going tonight. Much larger venue (and crazy they’ve mostly sold out 3 nights there). Very excited!

Yeah tbh I like it a lot. Expected otherwise from how y'all were bashing it, but I think it's great. I also really liked LP2 though so I guess that might be the crux of differing tastes here.

Didn't see a post for this yet, so just passing along the info. Looks absolutely amazing, and I cannot wait to hear what they put together for the digital archive. https://www.joyfulnoiserecordings.com/products/a-window-a-mirror The complete box set includes: - 132-page hardbound book (A deep dive into the band’s formation and Jade Tree era, featuring Tim Kinsella’s personal journals, photos, and essays recounting their first five records) - Custom-built, hand-numbered wooden box featuring laser-etched artwork, each signed by Tim Kinsella - 5 LPs on colored vinyl: A Portable Model Of (on Aqua Blue vinyl) How Memory Works (on Olive Green vinyl) Live in Chicago, 1999 (2xLP on Gold vinyl) The Gap (on Electric Blue vinyl) So Much Staying Alive and Lovelessness (on Red vinyl) - Red Blue Yellow (7" on Tri-colored Red/Blue/Yellow vinyl) - Access to the “Joan of Archive” (a massive digital collection of 200+ demos, live recordings, practice tapes, and alternate mixes) The standalone book option includes: - 132-page hardbound book - Red Blue Yellow 7" - Access to the “Joan of Archive” (a massive digital collection of 200+ demos, live recordings, practice tapes, and alternate mixes)

My copy showed up from Bullmoose today - just gave it a spin and goddamn these guys don’t miss. I was very concerned about the guest appearances, but neither is off putting. Fantastic record!

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!

I farted in the shower about a month ago and forgot to tell you all about it. But you were all in my heart and in my farts.
