From what I was told, Nicole was very abusive.

nicole (d. shanholtzer) was kicked out of the band late last year for unknown private reasons, as well as multiple bands (TWIABP, For Everest, Skull Kid) quietly dissociating themselves with BWM, but no public statement nor reasoning for all this has been publicised/released yet.

 

it's all very hazy and i like her a lot so i'm very concerned over what happened. i know her mental condition is poor and she's been in and out of hospital recently just nothing discerning has come to light. the bands whom disconnected from BWM didn't say why and there's really no way to know what happened yet.

 

either way it's pretty certain now that BWM isn't associated with TWIABP anymore, at the very least. BWM is still running, albeit slowly.

A STATEMENT FROM KATIE DVORAK and THE WORLD IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE & I AM NO LONGER AFRAID TO DIE: In light of all of the recent call-outs that have been made against abusers in the music community, there has been a resurgence of people wanting to know what happened with our ex guitarist, who we kicked out last year. I have been trying to avoid making a public statement not for her sake, but for my own. My life isn't anyone else's business if I don't want it to be, and absolutely no one is entitled to details about my personal life that I don't want to give out. I understand that people want to know why they should avoid any one person, or that people are just straight up curious, but I refuse to put myself in a position that I don't want to be in just to satiate the wants of strangers. - Katie

I assume with everything going on regarding them getting kicked from the band and a bunch of bands dropping from the label they won't be doing too much now.

The Max Bemis cover is awful.

The first time they were sent out in batches of three. IDK how many they've put out so far this year. Also, I know a lot of stuff have be going on surrounding Derrick lately and that might be part of it.

woah woah woah.

 

Are the inserts for both albums the exact same, just folded opposite ways?!

 

So...

Party's insert: Party is on the outside and So Young is on the inside

So Young insert: So Young is on the outside and Party is on the inside

 

This.... this has to be a joke right?!?!?!! I mean.... really????

I mean, it does say "double-sided insert"

Go back a page and you can see screenshots from Enjoy The Ride where they posted pictures of the actual records

I mean...it's in the thumbnail, but yeah Lana Del Rey was a gimmie. 

You know, I didn't even realize it when I clicked on the video. I was too prepared for the cringe that was about to happen.

I'm just gonna leave this here.

 

 

I know I'm late to the party, but oh lordy was this a doozy to watch. My girlfriend and I took bets on which albums she would put out with the description she gave before it. I knew the Lana Del Rey would definitely be in there somewhere.

I can send anyone the .wav files if they want to hear how it sounds (minus the "remastering" of it)

They're up btw.

Ahh, gotcha. Yeah, I've had that happen to me with a couple albums where re-released versions mixed the tracklist up, it drove me crazy haha

 

Also, it's weird that they're using a 3rd, new version of the album art. Why not use one of the first 2?

Ross said they couldn't find high-res images of the originals. 

(Sorry for posting a bunch - I've been excited for this since 2014 when Casey announced it LOL)

It's the same track list as the copy that I have. What's different from your copy?

The one used is the re-released version with the added tracks. Two of the songs weren't on the original release.

oh cool.

BTW that wasn't aimed at you personally. I was just saying that label who do large runs of just plain black and call it a "test press" is kinda lame on their part. The covers for these are neat looking.

I feel like once you go past 20 test presses, it should just be considered a normal press LOL

Release date is next Friday (March 17th) - $17.99 each

Ross said that's "cheap" for the label LOL

He messaged me about it as well and sent me a bunch of pictures. All the pressings look real nice. There's four variants for each one and the test presses with alternate covers. They come with a two page insert that has all the lyrics and what looks like a message from Ben about the album. I asked about the audio. It originally came from the CDs I own, but he said the label's sound engineer cleaned up the tracks and remastered it so it sounds better. They're pressed at 45rpm. There will be bundles of all ETR web variants and test presses for sale.

I'm going to be so broke.
