We have a new shirt for Jon up for preorder at Bitter Melody. We are pressing Jon's first record to vinyl now and Jon is gearing up for some big shows this year so this shirt is to help us with both of those things. Printed on Gildan Hammer. http://bittermelodyrecords.bigcartel.com

We are also working on something special to fill in this gap while we are waiting on a new LP. More on that soon.

Hardcore / Punk Releases & Pre-Orders Thread
xgrantx replied to hallowken78's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Yeah. I like this approach too. Sometimes bands say no to that because they start to not like the ep or demo prior. I've tried this a few times and been told no by bands. With the High Cost LP I asked if they had any other songs to add. Turned out they had two songs recorded just no vocals so we got those finished and added them to fill out the LP. -
Just talked to my shop and they got one yesterday so I'm gonna head to get it after work.

Hardcore / Punk Releases & Pre-Orders Thread

Yeah. I guess you could argue for bands to wait to record until they have a solid 25+ minutes but we all know that's not going to happen especially in hardcore. haha -
Hardcore / Punk Releases & Pre-Orders Thread
xgrantx replied to hallowken78's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Unfortunately I think that's the way it's going to be from now on. 7"s historically don't sell very well and it's no longer 3 bucks to press one. You are lucky if you can get it done for 5ish bucks per and then you factor in the percent to the band, the percent you lose with paypal processing you have to sell them for 8+ and then hope you make your money back which you have to sell almost all of them to do. Making money is almost impossible for most releases on 7". OR you can press it on an LP for 8-9 bucks packaged and sell it for 18-25 (label depending) and double your money per record. I've said I wouldn't do anymore 7"s as a label but I have done one or two splitting it three ways with other labels but I don't think I'll ever do a 7" solo as a label again unless pricing drastically changes. -
I heard somewhere that they have the next couple pressed but there was an unspecified hold up at the distribution place that adds the records to the comics and sends it out. It is definitely a crazy mess. I mean they are through issue 10 now. It wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't fall apart at some point and they stop.

PO (Nov) Prayer For Cleansing - Rain In Endless Fall

Took a few minutes since the site kept crashing but I got a blob, black, and cassette from TLAL. I will try to get a splatter at the show in a couple weeks. -
Best Charlotte, NC record stores?
xgrantx replied to Willow_Tree_Records's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
There used to be a Bean in Asheville too. Charlotte is really amazing for vegan food. I think it's the best in the state for variety and options for vegan stuff. There's also a Loving Hut there inside an all vegan hotel (Golden Green Hotel) -
Best Charlotte, NC record stores?
xgrantx replied to Willow_Tree_Records's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Lunchbox is the best especially for punk and indie stuff! But it looks like there's some newer places I've not been too. Cream Puff Records, Noble Records, Repo Records. Manifest has been around for decades and the last time I was in there it was way downhill. For vegan food if you are interested: Oh My Soul Pepperbox Doughnuts (not all vegan but 90%) Ma Ma Wok (a drive from center city but amazing all vegan Asian) Banh Mi Bros (not all vegan but amazing options including vegan steak, vegan kimchi, vegan bbq) Artisen Gelato (all vegan gelato - best ice cream around) These are some of my favorites but there are others too like Bean, Veltree, Fern (more fancy), Plant Joy and more.
