Crossing fingers that the 7/26 announcement that Early November posted is a vinyl reissues of the Room Is Too Cold. Drive Thru's instagram reposted it, which makes me hope we are seeing a 20th anniversary reissue.

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.

These are officially in house and being processed now. Keep your eyes peeled to our website if you missed out.

Not going to start rumors, but from this tweet maybe we will be getting a Make Yourself At Home on vinyl in the future?

God damn, never thought Transitions would be pressed. The price is a little steep but I will happily pay it.

Just put up today, Westbound Train announced pre-orders for their latest album Dedication and their first Hellcat Records release Transitions

Did the same for Bane on Equal Vision, however Tiger Records has an awesome variant.

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.

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.

Looks like the box set is starting to ship next week according to their latest post.

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.

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.
