mwY has higher QA standards than the pressing plant, clearly.  While I wish both of their standards were that high, as long as one of them is I'm happy.

It's kind of odd that they paired these painted covers with the I Never Said I Was Brave EP. With the artwork style, I would've thought they'd pair them with some sort of special edition of the self-title EP or LP. 

Honestly I just assumed they were trying to move some additional existing copies of Never Said

World of Pleasure / xWeaponx - Weapon of Pleasure
Wild Rose variants up for pre-order:
https://worldofpleasure.bigcartel.com/product/weapon-on-pleasure-12-split-vinyl
 

Ultra Clear w/ Orange and Dark Blue Splatter /100 *WILD ROSE EXCLUSIVE*

Half White / Half Dark Blue /150 *WILD ROSE EXCLUSIVE*

Did you order the 2023 Gold Nugget variant and SCP sent you a Holy Fawn record instead? Holy Fawn fans got shafted big time, if anyone has a Gold Nugget Holy Fawn sitting around that you don't want, please please get in touch. Myself, and a bunch of fans, would love to get them into the hands of the people who actually ordered them.

I ordered Single Rainbow / Reproduction, neither has shipped, I don't think anyone's has.  I've never not received anything from mwY, and their customer service is top notch the very few times there have been problems.

Ordering these vinyl has very much been a "set it and forget it" deal.  It comes when it comes.

yeah that's fucked up, sorry man.  What was the solution they offered?  I saw them mentioning something they were working out for the people affected. 

it was as good as a solution as you could expect, a full refund and a free replacement (of a different variant).

are you one of the ones who they lost the Discord variant?

Yup

Good riddance, they royally fucked up the last PO for Holy Fawn.

Sucks for all of the bands/labels impacted though, hopefully they get back on their feet quickly.

Update for anyone interested in my string tape. After a week they got back to me and issued me a refund because in the week it took to respond the tapes sold out. A quick Google search led to a record store that had some, for like five dollars cheaper. So I didn't end up completely burned. Probably never going to touch sandbag again after this though. Not that anyone gives a shit lol

I wish I could never touch Sandbag again, but too many bands I'm into use them.  And it's not always obvious when ordering that it's sandbag behind the scenes until you get that order confirmation email.

So I haven't heard anything back from sandbag about the whole getting a bag of string instead of a cassette. What do I do here? I've never been ripped off like this before lol 

Open a dispute via your payment method.

I equally love the serious and not serious big mad about non-edge enjoying edge bands.

I like my whiskey, weed, steak, and WxP

So I ordered the Gold variant, been a fan since the box with the scarf! Received the beautiful Gold number 3177 of the limited 3000 run? Huh? 

Overrun is normal, that much overrun seems high.

More variants coming soon from Wildrose Records, according to Jess' instagram

Yeah waiting for this, DAZE/Northern Scene is great if you're buying enough for free shipping, but is really expensive otherwise.

World of Pleasure x Weapon X split up on Daze at midnight eastern. 

I missed this, thanks for the heads up!

it's really boring.  It's just a not as good version of ETID, so I'll just listen to ETID.  Better Lovers is bringing something different to the table, it doesn't feel like ETIDv2.

Optimistic that maybe that's because he's trying to hook the ETID fans? Maybe the next song will branch out into something more interesting?

So I guess everyone’s pretty stoked on this, huh?  🦗🦗

Loving it! not sure if it beats the first album yet, but it's pretty fucking good.

Yeah if I can grab BBC v2 individually I probably would, those are great recordings, but sounds like that one is only in the box.

The new Scowl is extremely not for me (ok fine I think it’s bad) but it’s also the perfect music for them to get opportunities off of. That doesn’t make them industry plants. They have toured nonstop since pandemic and they have had fans/followers the entire time.

So much of the Scowl hate is misogyny. 

Drain’s tour was sponsored and branded by Monster. Nobody kicked up dirt because of that.

I generally think gatekeeping is good. It’s annoying that someone goes to a Turnstile show once now calls themselves a “hardcore kid.” But this has literally been the experience of being a music lover on the internet my entire life. The zaniness and rebuttals are just louder and more visible now. 

This.

Not liking the new sound is one thing, and obviously fine (to each their own, I love both the new and old sound).  But invalidating their hard work is just shitty.

But I disagree with you on gatekeeping, people are going to be annoying regardless of if you gatekeep or not.  Music it cool, let people like what they like, help expose new things to people who haven't seen or heard something like that before.  My taste and preferences are not better than anyone else's, I don't fucking care if you like something I think is dumb, or have a dumb opinion about something I like or don't like.  But if I can share something with you I think is cool and you get some enjoyment out of it too, that's fucking awesome.

I just think their music is rather mediocre for how popular they are

I like it  🤷‍♂️

happy to see people get success, regardless of whether or not that's true.  Get that bag, fuck big corporations, if you can get them to give you any money, do it.

Love to see it

no one carrreeesssssss

Honestly it's a big part of what makes it good, with only a few people coming in at once (realistically, when you let in 100 there are maybe 10 that are active) it's less intimidating for the new people and it's easier for the existing people to get to know them.
