First world problems.

Shipping now. Thanks people.

Who?

Sweet, thanks for this. Totally saved $1.80 because I kept forgetting to preorder this. Just got an email from discogs saying I owe them like $2, so even though this is all negligible amounts of money I enjoy that it worked out like that.

Got my /300 from RFC today. Was surprised to see it's a transparent sea blue for the half and half but it's pretty cool.

10% off all your SDF needs at RFC with code selfdefense.

Still keeping my fingers crossed for a Wildflowers reissue.

this is where it would be nice to have an "items in collection that are in your wantlist" feature

https://www.joestrummer.com/ looks pretty good shipping is insane on that site but bullnose has them all up

The cover's getting teased on the Converge IG page, but RYM and Allmusic leaked the info a bit early. So much for a surprise release? 1 - Permanent Blue 2:24 2 - Churches and Jails 1:27 3 - Melancholia 1:29 4 - Beautiful Ruin 1:23

We've added it to the "Turn It Around" store if anyone is in need! http://www.1234gorecords.com/turnitaround

While not "typical" of the type of music I listen to, this was probably my favorite album of 2016. I could still listen to 'Fame' several times a day & not get sick of it.

Any european dealers might be available? Thanks!

Hot topic is having a BOGO on some of their records, including the red variant. I've honestly grown to love this album. Makes their break up that much worse.

THE SLEEPING REUNION!

Yeah kinda bummed I missed the /80 but I just want it to sound good, so I'll probably get the bone eventually. I do like the splatter. I was at work still while this went live. So it goes. Remember guys that A1KA also probably has these in poly lined inner sleeves. They don't fuck around on quality. So, you're going to get a good product for the price.

Nice score. Though that "Q" record is good, I would sell it in a second for those prices. I would sell almost any of my rare 7 inchers for that money.

Same. I can appreciate that these guys are great musicians, extremely talented, but without Doug I don't find them particularly interesting.

DW already sent me a shipping notification....what service wow!

With limited things I've noticed they usually allocate a certain number per show so they have them all tour. Usually. I dunno.

They're up, but site is slow. Got the /80 Regular A1KA customers remember to use your discount code, it worked for me, you know who you are

I’m bracing myself for my first listen.

Whoa! I hope you're sitting down because (holy crap!) Robotic Empire has a brand new website! This gorgeous New Online Store is a considerable & refreshing change and has been in the works for close to a year (hmm, maybe it's been over a year?). Robo's ancient zencart site that you have been loyally ordering on all these years is 15 years old! Yes seriously, 15 years old!! It was always threatening to break (or was breaking) and was a major headache to use. It's hard for me to truly explain how stoked I am to have this cleaner, way more user friendly, and reliable website so I'll just suffice with "I'm beyond thrilled!!" There are so many enjoyable features on this new online store so please allow me a moment to list a few: * Multiple variants of an album are combined and listed under one product page (my OCD is so pleased) * Cleaner look with large cover art images that make shopping more delightful * Improved customer accounts with up to date info about your order, it's status and once shipped, it's tracking number!! * Customers receive Email notification with tracking info once their order ships * Various payment options available including Shopify Pay which takes no % cut from Robo (unlike paypal) * "New Items To The Shop" section let's you keep up to date on all new additions and restocks to the store * About section has been spruced up with some fresh photos. * The Discography page is still horribly out of date but will be updated soon! Promise! There is much, much more, including a ton of features on the back end that make my life tremendously easier. Certain aspects of this new shop even cut out a few steps in my packing and shipping process which means your orders will get shipped out to you faster. I'll stop blabbering because there are more exciting things to announce below. I encourage you to click on the "New Items To The Shop" section as I won't be line listing the new editions and restocks in this update as I normally do. I want to encourage you guys to browse through the "New Items To The Shop" area of the store and find out for yourself. Items are listed in order of most recently added to oldest. Check out the New Online Store now! In celebration of the new online store launch I have stacks of free items to give away with every order! It could be a 7", 10", 12", CD, DVD or even a T-shirt, so be sure to list your shirt size when you order just in case I'm tossing in a shirt for you. I'll be randomly pulling from the distro, so it's whatever strikes my fancy. Not only will everyone get a free item when they order, but if your order total is $40 or over (before shipping) you will get a freshly printed Robotic Empire T-Shirt! This vintage "Old Man With Harp" image has been long out of print but has been resurrected especially for this new store launch! "Old Man With Harp" is printed on army green Anvil Ringspun brand shirts with tan and black ink by those fine folks over at Broken Press in Seattle. Make sure to include your shirt size in the notes when you place your order. If you don't want to order $40 just to get the new shirt, you can order it direct here - New Shirt I want to thank Ali Croft of Skirven & Croft for her hard work on the new website and all her patience with me as I crawled out of the zencart dark ages! Robo's intern, Kris Hannum, has been an indispensable help with getting this site up and running. So much data entry was needed and most all of that fell on Kris. I can't thank him enough for the extreme detail he went into on every aspect I requested he complete. Please be sure to check out his label, Conditions Records. Conditions Records releases are available to purchase in the Robo online store so add a few to your cart, or order direct from Kris, to help show your appreciation of all his hard work! Last, but certainly not least, I say thank you to Deja for her detailed counting, counting, counting! She was a stupendous help getting the physical inventory counted and up to date for the new store launch! Plus she has a ferret named Ozzy which makes her all the more amazing in my book. Deja will be on hand to help pack and ship those Jesu orders once the product arrives at Robo HQ later in August. Thank you guys so much! It's been a blessing to have such a reliable team supporting me in this major effort and new chapter for Robotic Empire! Alright, I know everyone has been eagerly awaiting this announcement too, so here it is! Jesu's Ascension is in production! Thanks for all the inquiries and requests for this release over the years! I'm sorry it had to take so long but you will see it has been worth the wait! The official release date is August 31st and you can place your pre-orders now on the BRAND SPANKIN NEW ONLINE STORE!! Please remember that any additional items you add to your order won't ship until the Jesu records are in house. I expect that to be around mid August. Ascension has been remixed by Justin Broadrick and and remastered by James Plotkin. Packaging for this beauty includes a gatefold jacket with matte finish and printed inner sleeves with full album lyrics. 500 have been pressed on black vinyl and 500 pressed on white vinyl. A limited # of white copies come with a screenprinted cloth patch that displays the Jesu logo. Go add this baby to your cart! - Order Ascension Here You may have noticed that Thou's Peasant has been out of stock but no worries, it's currently being repressed. I expect Peasant to be available and shipping just in time for their new release to drop August 31st via Sacred Bones. A limited number of copies come with a luxuriously large 10" x 10" screenprinted cloth patch featuring the Horse Woman design and text from the shirt we printed last year. Some folks have requested the ability to purchase the patch as a stand alone item so I've made that option available too (in case you already own the album but don't want to miss out on the patch). I have to say, I really love this image, it's one of my favorites! Order the Peasant repress here & you can order the patch separately here - Patch Orders Here I'm trying to keep this update short and sweet so you can cruise over to the new online store and have a look around. If you happen to run into any bugs please use the contact form to notify me. I hope you find some new music to add to your cart and enjoy this summer with friends! I do want to recommend one new item in the distro that I can't seem to get off my turntable. Check out Now, Now's album "Saved". You guys are truly amazing! I thank you so much for all the encouragement and support during this new online store launch and also for the excitement surrounding Jesu's Ascension. I love reading all your comments and feel so fortunate to still be involved in this community after all these years! Have a lovely July and make sure to spend time with friends and family! Much Love!

I just started listing to the band and I can’t stop playing spin on repeat. My new favourite band for sure! Over the last 10 years my company shipped 1000s of Tigers Jaw records and I never bothered to check them out. I totally missed our all this time =/

What a confusing post. I actually started laughing as I read because I got to the end without reading a thought that wasn't a complete headscratcher, so thanks. First I wondered why it was douchey to like gatefolds but before I got to the end of that sentence you totally scrub that question from anyone's mind. How does a one pocket jacket scratch records but not a gatefold? Seriously interested. Then, the art is big which makes it more complete. Huh? New Bermuda just has lyrics and no back panel so that's just as confusing. Then you ask a question that you literally replied to with "totally". Did you forget? I'm glad you're pumped though. Hopefully some clarification can be provided here haha.

Got my copy from Deathwish today. Spun it twice already. Album is incredible. I love SDF but this is just next level shit.

Probably right - didn’t cross my mind. Although this was the exact verbiage of the email. “Just a quick note to say that Prosthetic Records shipped your order and it’s now on its way:“ So I guess we’ll see? Haha. Probably just the label - but I hope I’m wrong.

It's really not that hard. They're a super fast hardcore punk band with former members of other hardcore punk bands. The difference is Matt was the vocalist on this and The Mistake LP, which were both bangers, and had rotating members on every other release. Stoked this is getting pressed!

I bought both! I have a problem...

Ya earlier today.

It is not the norm to see a band change/ enter the postrock genre and blow up like Tides of Man did with Young and Courageous. Their AudioTree Live performance is worth watching and my favorite part is when the bass player says the hardest part of the musical transition is playing whole notes (from proggy/noodly constantly moving bass line).

No but I when i downloaded the album from my order page the status said shipped

Most of the best punk or hardcore records were 7 inch eps. Seems like the format has died a lot with vinyl revival.

Exacto knife across the perforated partition. Obviously just deep deep enough to cut the cardbord

Nice looks like they're skipping the orders they printed up first

also wormwood please

I like the record but damn man chill The opener, Black Paint, and Dilemma are my top 3.

Oh hell yes, ordered real quick! $40 was a tough pill to swallow though for 8 songs, but who knows when we'll see this again.

Many of these are still sadly waiting for some vinyl love. Reissue or first pressing. Listening to Finger Eleven's Tip this morning, such an underrated album.

buy my records so I can treat my grandma to a smoothie /sob

That's a steal tbh. I hate that Jesse is/was a monster human being, but that doesn't change the fact that that album is solid. Until there's evidence he's issued a direct, sincere, and personal apology to each victim I'll never give them another dollar, but $10 is a good price for a good album. I already own it anyway, so no issue for me.
