what color vinyl is the sweet weapons LP? bought the black from y'all a while back but been trying to score one of the colored variants too.

I've only got black left. All the limited colors are sold out at this point. Your best bet is discogs.

In case you missed it, recently our basement flooded and as a result we have experienced a significant amount of damage and loss to the label LP inventory.  This was a major blow, but we are staying positive and pushing forward.  In an effort to salvage as much as possible, we have a created a special "Flood Edition" cover for the LPs. All ordres will get some free records too! More details on the item page.

Glad it all arrived okay. Hope you enjoy all the records!

Reverse The Curse "Carer" (Acoustic) stream from the split: http://substreammagazine.com/2015/05/exclusive-reverse-the-curse-acoustic-premiere/

Escapist Records are excited to announce that we will be releasing a limited edition 7” in conjunction with the label’s ten-year anniversary show taking place this August.  The 7” will feature two exclusive songs limited to the release. Ohio-based Reverse The Curse will contribute an acoustic version of the song “Carer” on the a-side.   The original version of the song was released on the Existent LP earlier this year.  The b-side will contain a brand new song from My Mouth Is The Speaker titled “A Glimpse of Comfort.”  This will be the first new material from the Akron-based group since their 2014 EP, In Focus.  The release will be limited to 200 copies on random-colored vinyl and will be available free with a ticket purchase to the show while supplies last.

The ten-year anniversary show takes place Friday August 14^th at The Foundry in Lakewood, OH. Bands confirmed to play include Foxfires, Reverse The Curse, Sleeping Weather, My Mouth Is The Speaker, Harvey Pekar, Spill, and Wasted Blood, with more announcements to come.

Placeholder and Sleeping Weather team up for this exclusive split 7”. Each artist contributes two brand new recordings and a digital-only bonus cover song.

Pennsylvania’s Placeholder melds melodic punk and grunge as they continue to build on an impressive catalog.  The band’s latest output will please fans of Jawbreaker, Nirvana, Samiam, and Silverchair. Placeholder pay homage to one of their influences with a cover of Nirvana’s “On a Plain”

Sleeping Weather, hailing from Colorado, meanwhile fuse 90’s emo with a rock and roll twist.  These two new offerings draw equal influence from Hot Water Music, The Casket Lottery, The Replacements, and The Promise Ring. Sleeping Weather take on Neil Young’s classic “Rockin’ in the Free World” as a bonus cover.

All vinyl comes packaged with a digital version of the split.
