I’ve converted. I greet death openly

Stellar as in "packaging is secure and safe"?

Yes, i don’t think I’ve had any corner bumps or seam splits. I believe their mailers have extra padding at the sides, but my memory isn’t the greatest...

DW has always been stellar to Canada

Thanks, I was too lazy to search. It does make me want to give the album another go...

A lifetime of off key MW emo dudes sets you up to not be turned off by bad vocals I guess. Shit’s tight.

 

EDIT:

just read the Ian Cohen p4k review and it’s pretty good. He really does GET why the two different vocal styles work and vocalized it in a way that I wouldn’t have. 
All I know is my first play though i was for sure thinking to myself “wait who TF is this guy?” when nasaly dude jumps in after digging the first vocalist (that second song slaps btw). But when he comes back in on You’re Gonna Hate it all makes sense.

Link to review? Maybe I'll give this album another listen. . .  so much praise being thrown around.

I'm struggling with some of the Greet Death vocals. Musically I like it, but idk...

If anyone is in Nashville this friday and is willing to pick up Billie Eilish's live black/blue for me, please message me.

Yep I'm in Blushing, rhythm guitar. Our label gave us an update that the pink vinyl was close to selling out and so I figured I would get the word out here if anyone might be interested. So glad you got one of the 5 that we took over the border, that Toronto show was a blast! Stoked you got a blue galaxy swirl, there are no more of those left, only pink.

You guys were on fire - great set! Glad to hear that the lp is doing so well.

Blushing - Blushing

Repress on Pink Galaxy Swirl Vinyl:

Limited Edition of 300

Label let us know they were running low on this second pressing, sharing the news here. Had an amazing tour and met some great shoegaze / dreampop fans out there. Hope to make it to the UK soon!

 

Are you with the band then?

I managed to grab one of the last band copies of the blue galaxy (and one of only 5 copies of the album they could bring over the border).

okay, ok, I hear you already
maybe I'll order a pair before the Nothing show next week. $13 is do-able.

So I ordered the earplugs, and they didn't do a damn thing.

I suspect it was because I forgot  them on the table at home.

Show was amazing though, and I survived.

On a serious note... Etymotic earplugs from Amazon ($13)

I've been using Etymotic earplugs for about 10 years and have been very happy with them.  Second this recommendation.  They also survive trips through the washing machine quite well!

Hey! Those are the same ones I use. Welcome to Earplugs Collective.

I really like It's All Crazy... It's not a terrible album, it just lacked the aggression they included on other releases. Some of the songs are really well written. The Beetle King rules.

This... although I disagree with your take on CFUTF

Get some earplugs homie! Safety first.

people keep telling me that, but it goes in one ear and out the other. It's like I don't even hear what they say...

Video up, it's Catch for Us the foxes repress. Up at 12pm est. 11/22.

 

I'm always confused by this though...is it midnight tonight, or tomorrow?

If it is 12 pm, it will be noon tomorrow, eh?

edit: nevermind, it says midnight, not 12 pm

So - this happened last night. My ears are still recovering, they've got that muffled, detached feeling today.

Excellent show! I'm not sure if Blushing has been mentioned here before, but if not check them out:

Ringo DS mentioned that they just got the masters for their new album, and they played a few new songs.

such a great idea - please pm her shipping deets. I'm sure I have something I can give.

Nah. I liked Sway and the Nothing split a lot more. The new one just isn't doing it for me. It's power chord shoegaze. 

may be unpopular opinion - I think Sway is their weakest.

...sorry, for the double-post

I thought it was fairly aligned with where they left off.  Anyone expecting the punk drums and energy from Distressor days should’ve known better.

agreed.

Agreed. This album is incredible. I still listen to it regularly. Dear Tool: let me give you money.

ditto

Speaking of Iris,  just found out they are opening for Nothing in Toronto at the end of the month.

Pumped for that - and just a week before that Ringo Deathstarr is playing (with Blushing).

They played a whole ass monologue

well, fuck.

ditto on Pencey. I was a little sloe to give it a listen but I am glad it did :)

Really glad I was able to hear them and meet them last year. Genuinely kind guys. I totally get it though, what with families and lives.
