Man that Contention record is gonna be so good
Agreed! It's gonna be in my top played records for the year I'm sure of it.
If ya'll haven't picked it up yet, you should buy it from Eric at Dropping Bombs - I did.

Eric has an exclusive half and half color record limited to 100 and he's an all around good guy.

Now available from RevHQ if you want to help your local store carry this!

I feel like everyone knows Chuck D and Public Enemy but if you don't know Craig G he is an OG too. The biggest track he was on was Juice Crew's The Symphony. He was only 15 on this track. This track really changed the game in hip hop. It was one of the first crew rap tracks and set the template for a posse cut rap.

Green and black are sold out. All initial orders are out the door as of today!

Green is just about gone.

It was definitely the direction of intent when writing this too.

Surprise! We teamed up with Waterslide Records in Japan to corelease the remastered Action Patrol discography on CD. Glass mastered replicated discs, CD jacket, OBI strip, large fold out insert with exclusive interview in Japanese.
These we manufactured in Japan and the package looks and feels of quality. Available now in store!These look so cool and they are on quality discs. I think the green LPs and splatter LPs are gone now. I still have plain orange as the base color though!

thanks for the kind words - at the time, RS was a pretty popular band, I remember seeing them on tour with Orchid once in SF. And yes - we go all out on packaging and trying to do things right for the bands - chuck
It was harder back then to determine who was more popular and growing steam because the internet was still rudimentary at best. I feel like I based it on my friend group at the time and what was more popular with us. I don't think I ever got to see them but I definitely picked up Capillary Lockdown and a single or two at my local record store at the time though.

This is cool. I clicked to see if it was the Red Scare I was thinking or a new band using that name too ha. This one is a little more obscure than the bigger screamo/skramz bands at the time. Just checked out some of your other stuff and it looks like you've been doing some other really cool stuff like that Shotmaker box set. You put some money and time into these and it shows.

I've also listened to it a few times, and I'm not listening thinking of country at all. Sounds more folky pop. Not blown away, but still enjoying it for a nice, mellow listen.
On another note, if you're looking for some good Americana, I'd recommend Gabe Lee's new album. I saw a recommendation from the singer of American Aquarium and the album really grew on me.
This is great and to piggyback on this post and Kacey. An artist I work with would fit in with this crowd - Jon Charles Dwyer. We have done three LPs for Jon and hopefully his next record too.
We just released his EP Chorus on LP (to fill it out we remastered a 2018 EP Never Lets Up on the B side) and the third press of his album Junebug.
This is from the newest EP.
This is from his second album Junebug:

NC's Blood Ritual have a new record Do You Believe that's out today. It's an amazing thrashy crossover hardcore record. Riffs for days. We did a cassette and the band did a CD for now. Hoping to do vinyl for this a little later on. Check it out on spotify or wherever you stream.

All current orders are out the door as of this afternoon! Appreciate the support.

Chorus vinyl is now available and shipping now! 180 gram color vinyl.
We really didn't want to do a 7" for this EP so we found a perfect solution. Jon's EP Never Lets Up didn't really get a proper release in 2018 so we remastered that EP and made that the B side so it would nicely fill out an LP.
The A side is Jon's new EP Chorus and the B side is his 2018 EP Never Lets Up (remastered 2024). 8 tracks total.

There's only one copy left of his album Between the Hallelujahs too. Not sure when we will get around to repressing it so grab it if you want it!

Jon Charles Dwyer has been killing it the last year or two. He has been busy touring nationwide with Old Gods of Appalachia podcast and run with American Aquarium. He has a new EP Chorus which is 4 new songs. We have released them on a CD but we wanted to come up with some alternative to releasing a 7" or a 4 song LP so we have found a perfect way to present this new EP. The new EP is on the A side and we took his first EP Never Lets Up and remastered it and put it on the B side. 8 songs total - 4 new and 4 remastered older tracks pressed it on 180 gram color vinyl.
He has a full length LP coming later this year too! The demos are sounding fantastic too.
The CD is available now at http://bittermelodyrecords.bigcartel.com and the LP will be coming in the next couple weeks. As soon as they are in hand we will put them up for sale.

I'm really proud of this one. If there's any CD folks in here we have some news about a CD version coming soon.

Yeah. My habits have changed a lot. My station in life has changed a lot too. I don't have room and I have kids now so priorities have shifted. That said the other factors are labels charging wayyyyy too much. Retail has gotten out of hand and it's on the back of the customer. Pressing costs have gone up for sure but retail cost has not risen fairly to balance that. Especially pressings of 1000s of records they could easily sell them in the 22-28 dollar range and make money. Selling single LPs for 40+ is just unreasonable and I don't buy those. I don't buy variants anymore - just one color is fine. I mostly concentrate on putting out Bitter Melody releases and trading for some personal records occasionally. My bigger splurges were for friend's records in NC - Undying and Prayer for Cleansing.
Like the post above I have stopped buying blindly a lot too. Unless it's one of the handful of bands I will support forever. I bought the Alkaline Trio record before I heard a song. I'd buy anything John K Samson without hearing it too but he's in a place where he doesn't want to release much physically. I've been trying to get him to let me release Hold Music or Vivat Virtute EP or the random singles he's not released physically forever.

Bump. Looks like the splatter from Rev and Green from VC is about sold out. Orange is available still and comes with vinyl sticker.

They put up a one off song in October that wasn't bad. I really liked Guppy and half of Young Enough a lot. I'm hoping there's more to this new LP but this is kind of lackluster lead single for sure.
