New song up with James Carroll of Make Do and Mend at www.altpress.com/features/entry/song_premiere_wolves_at_bays_breaking_in_two_feat_james_carroll_of_make_do

Everything good with the downloads? First time using the store and just got to Ohio on about 3 hours of sleep. In case its unclear the copies of the record include a download card for Companions and the instant download is only for How to Throw A Successful Party. They start shipping once I get back on Nov 2.

Sooo bad.

That's kind of true. Don't know an exact time but I'd say early-ish afternoon. Really just depends on when I can get to a computer. Also - when you pre-order you also get an instant download of a brand new EP "How to Throw a Successful Party." Finally - if you're headed to Fest come by we'll have a super limited amount of OrangeYellow copies at the Animal Style table during registration. They came out "fly."

I AM THE TABLE!

Oh hi. These are done and en route to Brent. The band will also have them beginning this Saturday.

It would've been THAT easy!

Since spoken-word is the new cool thing Broken Circles felt it only necessary to release the new Rosie record. Hope he's not mad I ruined the surprise.

Slated for a November 15, 2011 release, the 11-song effort (track listing below) was produced by Nick Bellmore (Make Do and Mend, Hatebreed, Death Threat) and will be issued on CD, digital and 12" LP formats, with the latter being limited to 500 copies on red (100), purple (200) and blue (200) colored vinyl.

What is a Sixteen Oh?

What is a Sixteen Oh?

They won't all be sold there. Pretty good guess. Could be earlier or later, just depends on when everything comes in. I won't know that for sure for a couple more weeks. As always I'm usually pretty good about keeping this board updated as well as the mailing list, Facebook, and Twitter. This is also the best song they've written so far.

New song up at Punkews! http://www.punknews.org/article/44553 Go listen.

Have you listened to this song before? http://animalstylerecords.bandcamp.com/track/soups-whatever *Note the version that will appear on Maps & Companions is a newly recorded full band version of this.

Hope is for People is available here: http://robbedthebank.storenvy.com/ .... sorry for the self plug. No problem! A few distros here and there may still have the last copies of Hope is for People but Short Collection is gonna be a little tougher to find right now. Either way they'll probably get repressed early next year.

We're pleased to be working with Mixtapes once again for the release of Maps & Companions. In true fashion with Mixtapes things are always a little different, Maps & Companions features the 10 original songs from Maps plus the newly recorded EP, Companions. Companions will include 2 brand new songs along with newly recorded full band versions of And If We Both Fail?, OrangeYellow, and Soups Whatever. Ryan had this to say about the release, "Maps never came out on vinyl so it's time it did. This will be our first 12 inch so we are really excited! Side A is Maps in it's entirety and side B is Companions. On the reworked songs, some of them we didn't want to be only acoustic. This record is the first time in the past year we had enough time to do everything we wanted so we made them sound how we wanted them to. I think it brought new life and a whole new feel to them so we are stoked. There's also 2 new songs which we couldn't be happier with. We should be making a video for I accept that the first week of December, followed by 3 if not all 4 of us eating dinner." Along with new artwork by Cassie Podish we'll be issuing this beauty as a 12" LP limited to 500 copies on 3 different colors. For those going to Fest 10 you may get a head start to pick up the record. More news on that along with ordering information soon! -100 OrangeYellow -200 Red -200 Clear w/Black TRACKLISTING 1.

This guy has jokes.

Range from opaque pink mixed with blue to a gray with pink.

You're so sweet to me. I'm gonna try to come up with something for the extra copies of Short Collection I have. Just won't be for a while.

Pretty much that, right there. I know all the variant and pressing info was given in advance... and that works for me, sure, but a pre-order date would be awesome. I was unaware that it was kept a mystery until they're ready to sell. Animal Style took care of Thrice's Identity Crisis... and if I recall correctly, Matt had given an exact date (and time) that they'd be up for sale. I figured he'd do the same thing this time around, but he hasn't responded to the thread yet. If he does or doesn't, it's not a huge deal. I'm patient -- I'm just going to kick myself if I miss out on it. Definitely didn't give an exact date/time for Identity Crisis, just ask user Duff.

I'm all out of covers for Short Collection but still have leftover records.

Just added the following back to the store in limited quanities. Daggermouth - Stallone LP on red /100 With Honor - This Is Our Revenge LP on red /100 Mixtapes - Hope is For People 7" on white /100 and a couple other weirdo colors Half Hearted Hero - Running Water 12" on orange /100 Maker - I-91 7" on weirdo gold/black. www.animalstyle.storenvy.com

Next up we're releasing O'Brother - The Death of Day on vinyl with the help of our friends at Broken Circles. This release features slightly reworked artwork on reverse board jackets, done by O’Brother member Aaron Wamack. The pressing will be limited to 500 copies on three colors. 100 Seafoam Green 200 Transparent Green 200 Clear You can also listen to the record here http://obrother.bandcamp.com/album/the-death-of-day O’Brother is also hitting the road with Thrice, La Dispute, and Moving Mountains in October.
