We finally re-launched our own webstore with some shirts and leftovers from our 5 record release shows two weeks ago. Give it a look and snag some stuff if you're into it! http://www.spiritsxxx.limitedrun.com

3 days until UNREST is officially out!

Thursday morning bump

Here's a mockup of the cassettes with alternate artwork. Still available through http://lastexitmusic.tictail.com/product/spirits-unrest-tape and http://pressgangrecords.bigcartel.com/product/pre-order-spirits-unrest-cassette-ships-at-the-end-of-august

"10 years on the VC board anniversary for yours truly" bump.

You're the best!

5 Shows on the East Coast next month... come check it out if you can.

Thanks so much! The pre-orders have started shipping so that Dave isn't inundated with taking a few hundred packages to the post office all at the same time. Hopefully people start getting them soon so you can get a bunch of spins out of the record!

Thanks for ordering copies! It seems like the Pre order version sold our pretty quickly. That /100 splatter looks so bomb though, definitely my favorite variant!

Hey friends! It's been a while since we've been around these parts but our brand spanking new full length "UNREST" is now available for preorder through a number of places! Here's a gif of the killer artwork and the 4 colors of vinyl! Read more below for where to order, the pressing info, a blurb about the record and the artwork, and where to listen!

We spent two weeks in the late spring of 2016 holed up in our practice space in Boston tracking the record ourselves before sending it up to God City Studio in Salem, MA to be mixed by Kurt Ballou. Mastering was handled by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. Artwork layout/design was handled by Doug Dean from Pittsburgh, PA. UNREST is comprised of 12 songs that collectively push the sonic boundaries of the band outwards in numerous directions while still maintaining a strong foothold on our melodic punk-hardcore roots. The production on the record is a massive leap forward compared to previous releases and it is widely apparent that we took our time trying to get this release right after you give it a listen. UNREST clocks in at 24 minutes and 37 seconds listening time and is packed with everything you'd expect from a follow up to Discontent... hard hitting, no-nonsense, lean punk/hardcore songs that take you on a roller coaster ride of tempos, emotions, and lyrical themes. It's political. It's personal. It's both introspective and a commentary on the surroundings we're submerged into on a daily basis. Overall, it's a collective document for how we view the world we're living in, our designated place in it, and, despite how grim and dismal the outlook may be at this moment, UNREST is a declaration of how we can all work together to make this life better in the present moment and to leave a better world for those yet to come after we're gone. As with all of our previous releases, the packaging for the vinyl release of UNREST is unique and will definitely catch your eye if you have a liking for packaging design and an intricate layout. The LP Jacket is diecut so that the front of the record acts as an empty picture frame, allowing for the lyric insert (a 12x24" double sided full color insert) to be placed into the jacket as one of four 'portraits' on the lyric sheet. Each portrait has a twist on the misrepresentation of the American dream and the things we're taught from a young age to aspire to and value simply because society has dictated as such. For the pre-order version of the LP, the jacket will have a pop up cardboard easel attached so that the album can legitimately be stood up to display as if it was a picture frame. It will also be hand stamped and numbered, out of 65 total copies. ************************************************ Thanks for taking the time to check this out and for supporting us if you decide to pick up a copy. All orders will ship at the end of August before the album's street date of Sept 8th. We will be playing 5 shows on the East Coast (Boston, CT, Philly, DC, RVA) at the end of September so keep an eye out for details about that. You can stream 4 songs off the record now on our bandcamp: https://spiritsxxx.bandcamp.com/album/unrest as well as pre-order the album digitally for only $5!

Sunday bump

Yeah it definitely takes a good chunk of time. I'm also re-cataloging as I go along which is why I'm doing it release by release. I don't think I have access to anywhere I could take a picture of ALL the records at once in my collection anyways to it's way easier to do it this way, albeit slightly less impressive haha

This is tomorrow night!

Slowly getting pictures of the collection release by release.

How about some Stranger Than Fiction singles?

All current orders were shipped out yesterday!

Vinyl is the same but the covers are different shades of blue. I assume they're from different pressings and that a different printer was possibly used or something. You can see two distinct shades if you look at all the covers. There's really only two types of different shades I've noticed

Had to pull these out to check if I had a specific variant so figured I'd snap a quick family pic. I need to do this with all of my BR collection when I have time.

Show was a bunch of fun! If you've ordered any merch over the last week I shipped it all out today! Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up! It's a pain to keep the inventory updated on both as I mainly use Limited Run and someone else in the band usually deals with bandcamp. Fixed it!

Thanks for the couple orders since yesterday. Shipping these out all week so get one if you dig it! Full album of pictures here: http://imgur.com/a/OAKXS
