Judging by what they posted on twitter, and the link says vinyl/merch with nothing there, I am going to assume we should expect vinyl available to order tomorrow for the new Hello Rockview. HELLO ROCKVIEW '23 (lnk.to)

It seems like that is how this company operates, by shipping in order. Someone posted somewhere all the companies that roll up under the main label and they ship slow. I know Parting Gift/Take This To Heart is part of the fold and I ordered Rufio vinyl thinking it would ship right away since the email said these are in hand. That was a week ago, so just a waiting game, but they eventually ship.

I don't know about the vault stuff, but Houston Calls' instagram story said that the vinyl should be shipping this week or next.

Hope this gets released during/after the tour. Trying to hit a date, but don't think I can. Smart Punk wrote a comment on twitter saying they weren't sure if there will be a wider release, but I have a feeling they know.

Pretty much half sold out already, can't believe someone bought the $400 pizza box vinyl. At least I got my shipping confirmation for Movielife today, just need Houston Calls to ship.

Drive-Thru's instagram stories says the vault opens tomorrow. Expect some pre-orders I guess.

Just put up today, Westbound Train announced pre-orders for their latest album Dedication and their first Hellcat Records release Transitions Dedication Dedication (Transparent Blue Marble Vinyl) – Org Music Transitions Transitions (Gold Marble Vinyl) – Org Music

Not going to start rumors, but from this tweet maybe we will be getting a Make Yourself At Home on vinyl in the future? https://twitter.com/drivethrurec26/status/1673405769817944073?s=20

I got tracking for Hidden In Plain View today. I didn't order Finch or Halifax, but assuming, since those were before HIPV, those have shipped out. Super curious that after all these and Houston Calls are shipped out if they are pressing other albums.

Did the same for Bane on Equal Vision, however Tiger Records has an awesome variant. TIGER x BANE - GIVE BLOOD Deluxe Reissue — Tiger Records (tigerrecs.com)

Another fun fact, at least to me, Louis Castle the trumpet player, is the son to Nick Castle. Nick Castle was the original "shape" in the Halloween movies.

I don't think it has been posted yet, and not sure if anyone is interested. I have been interested in this since it was announced in what feels like 5 years ago, but That Thing You Do is finally in production. https://twitter.com/moshafeek/status/1668299382062448641?s=20

I got my Starting Line yesterday. As someone said, shipping is pretty slow, my next one is Hidden In Plain View probably won't ship till mid-June. I thought Houston Calls would be shipped by now because of the reunion show, but looks like the site says end of June.

I can't wait to see what you have coming out. I know, feels like years ago, I got a promo card in my order saying the last Spring Heeled Jack would be out on vinyl. I forget the month it said, but I am hoping that will be this year. Also hoping maybe some Westbound Train. The 2 or 3 you are getting tomorrow, will you announce those soon?

Looks like the box set is starting to ship next week according to their latest post. https://www.instagram.com/p/CrTTgH5gl7S/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= As for individual albums, looks like once all box sets are shipped they will start those based on order they were announced. I think if I read their comments correctly in the post.

I understand Parting Gift/Take This To Heart is doing the fullfillment of the eps and those are just Drive Thru branded only, but this co release of Finch gives me hope for other full lengths now. Hoping Say It Like You Mean It gets a repress now. Curious the business background on how this is handled. I guess albums owned by Geffen will be co released probably because how much it is to licensed?

It's an oldie, great dudes. Chris, bassist, is in a new band called Sleep Cycles from Philly. They are pretty good. Drummer Jake drummed for Everclear on a few tours and now in a Oi! punk band The Drowns

No idea you were from West Chester, I went to Immaculata University, but spent most of my time in West Chester. I still stand by Benny's is the best pizza ever. Also West Chester is where I met Tokyo Rose and became their merch guy for a tour. The church there had the best shows, that was a great place to see bands.

How the f did I not put two and two together, I photographed Mae in 2021 and I thought the drummer looked familiar, my photos here: The Juliana Theory / Mae – Theatre Of Living Arts – Philadelphia, PA – 11/28/21 – Favorite Sights & Sounds (favoritesightsandsounds.com) Freaking wild, and I am from Bethlehem, PA Crocodile Rock was my go to place and I was totally at that show also. I discovered Mae there also, bought the 4 song ep they self released and met their original guitarist outside. Hopefully more Mae stuff comes down the pipeline like a new album, love everything they put out. Bummed I missed the last few shows in PA, I think the one was in Harrisburg. Wish I was photographing the Houston Calls show, but living in AR doesn't help.

Glad I got the splatter right away. Would totally be at the Asbury Park show, but had to move to Arkansas due to work, will be looking for fan shot videos the next day to see what I missed. Maybe do a live stream??? Last time I saw Houston Calls it was in Allentown, PA and I think it was Farewell and Punchline? I can't remember the whole bill, but when I google dates apparently a show like that was downstairs, but I swear it was upstairs. I would also love a pressing of End Of An Error, I love Short Stories, but Era was my favorite. I remember when that came out Drive Thru was going under at that point and it was so hard for me to get a copy. My local record store couldn't get it in. Curious what these Drive Thru vinyl releases will be and if something like that album will get the treatment. It's like Hidden In Plain View Resolution, love that album and feel like it didn't get the love it deserves since they broke up after it was released.

Been seeing new Bouncing Souls tour dates popping up and figured that means a new album. Nothing official posted anywhere yet, but knowing they are on Pure Noise looks like pre-orders are up now.

Like I said, I could be completely wrong, just going off what I see on Amazon music. I don't know what Spotify has listed since I don't use any streaming service, but maybe Drive-Thru has vinyl rights regardless what is listed digital. I posted the link below of what Amazon shows as a copyright which says The Movielife. Who knows, just have to wait and see what gets released, I should've asked Vinnie when he was opening for Early November a few weeks back, usually he is very up front about that stuff. Again, I was just making assumptions and in no way saying this is fact, but if you wanted evidence the below link is what I was looking at. https://www.amazon.com/music/player/albums/B073ZLH2HZ?ref=sr_1_3&keywords=the+movielife&crid=22CMSD20RSEI8&sprefix=the+movielif%2Caps%2C519&qid=1669740063&sr=8-3

I agree I wouldn't mind a Steel Train press, Hidden In Plain View would be great, but I think they are trying to do a little of everything this time around. Starting Line - Pop Punk Halifax - Rock Finch - Screamo Early November - Emo Steel Train - Acoustic Just my thoughts, probably wrong, but fun to speculate. Using the same marketing technique they did back in the day to announce their signings which gets everyone guessing like right now. I just hope after this e.p. thing they press some full lengths. 2023 is 20th anniversary of Forty Hour and I really hope they do something for that album. Also that Homegrown EP (final?) was way overlooked, then again it was around the time Drive Thru was going defunct and buying music wasn't as big.

I am going to go on a limb on this, and I may be completely wrong, but I think out of those three only Early November will be pressed. I was looking on Amazon music at who copyrights the e.p.'s and Drive Thru owns Early November. Movielife owns Gambling Problem which is shocking, and Audioboxer by Something Corporate is owned by Geffen. Didn't think Geffen would own an e.p. like that, but it did sell well. I'm bummed Say It Like You Mean It is still owned by Geffen, doubt that will be repressed. Again, just by looking at the copyrights on the digital albums, that could signify what Drive Thru can press, but I think the last two e.p.'s to be pressed will be Early November and Steel Train.
