All orders are out the door from us!

It has it's own thread but I thought I better post it in here since some people just check this thread I think. We released the remastered discography of Action Patrol. They were a beloved punk/hardcore band from Richmond, VA from 1993-1996. Way ahead of their time - fast, melodic, herky jerky, smart lyrics. FFO Descendents and Propagandhi but screamier - hart to compare them. Free sticker with orders at Bitter Melody! www.bittermelodyrecords.com Orange from Bitter Melody Green from Vinyl Conflict Orange with Green splatter from Rev

If you have checked out the remaster let me know what you think!

Three colors total. Here's the pic of all the colors. Revhq - orange with green splatter LP Vinyl Conflict Store - solid green LP Bitter Melody Records - solid orange LP http://bittermelodyrecords.bigcartel.com We also have a limited amount of test presses at Bitter Melody (both the rejected first stampers and the approved stampers - rejected press is very listenable but has a weird echo in a couple parts) Thanks for all the orders so far!

Not a preorder. All in hand shipping now!

yeah they jumped the gun a little bit This is up everywhere now Solid orange from us: http://bittermelodyrecords.bigcartel.com Orange with green splatter at Rev Solid green at Vinyl Conflict in Richmond

This will be launching this week! Huge oversized 18x25 insert. Three colors of vinyl all matching AP's theme!

Back in print. Third press in store now. Natural vinyl, Lavender, and Baby Blue. http://bittermelodyrecords.bigcartel.com

And sick new Chris Taylor artwork (Cris Crude - Pg99, Malady, etc)

Second press sold out super fast with the Old Gods tour. The third press should be here in less than a month. Three new colors and slightly different jacket. Jon is also hard at work recording his third album (name TBD).

Do they really have a different set of plates with a bonus song for the Target one? If so, that makes this one most desirable

I put up a rare coupon code in store. If there's something you've eyed but didn't pull the trigger now's the time to pick it up. Not sure how long I'll let it run, probably just a couple days. I also have a mystery LP for $6 which the coupon can be used on too. 20% off your order with code "20off" http://bittermelodyrecords.bigcartel.com My personal opinion you should pick up the High Cost LP from last year as it was kind of slept on but a major banger.

If anyone has any stories or memories of AP please make sure you head to the google doc and send it over. Or any pics or flyers too.

Glad to hear it! I think you'll be pleased with the sprucing up of the source material.

Woo! Yeah this one is pretty niche and archival. I feel like this one may be a little old for most of the people who follow my label but I'm sure there's plenty of 40+ folks out there who will be stoked on this if I can get it where they can see it! Hopefully we will get some new fans on board especially when they hear these remasters.

Hey! So we are working on an LP and digital release of the Action Patrol discography On Patrol. It’s been remastered and sounds phenomenal. All brought up to current specs and EQ’d. We should have tests this next week so it’s not long off. New artwork completely! Can’t wait to get this out in the world. For those not familiar they existed between 1993-1996 in Richmond, VA. They blurred lines of punk and hardcore and pop. They played breakneck pace in Orange jumpsuits. Definitely one of my most favorite Richmond bands of all time so this one means a lot. It all started after the 2018 reunion. I was going to release one of those sets as a live set but it spiraled into this current project. More news to come soon. Hope some of you are as excited about this as I am. This one is kinda niche. We are building an oral history with then and and from fans. We may try to publish it in a limited zine as well as an online article. If you have something to contribute you can contribute a story or images or flyers here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc5IlIkiNrniTqw1i-TNi2KRfjUcfgv6Mr30ON6lMpi2LJl1w/viewform?fbclid=PAAaY1zH65rSW6kPv4J21sz5H2MlQYxRmz05RLa2vI8nmzTQLJjBUtS4vTsbA_aem_AZPcEM6jAVePgymznSQY0MqBfshw2uIRQaf8dh_MRl7IljQyHzXnj4EmwiHKH-4DdJw

Inquisition were great. A collection of theirs would be very cool. I know AF records reissued the full length a while back on CD. I think a label did the LP too. But this isn't the one I'm working on. AP is fantastic. The 2018 reunion was so fun!

I'll give you a hint: RVA (you'd find hardcore kids, emo kids, punk kids all at their shows intermingling.) I don't really know how big they were outside the southeast though.

I love these kinds of releases. Archival and helping introduce bands to new generations.I have one I'm working on now from one of my favorite bands. They existed from 1993-1996

We have a new tape for a new band from Asheville called Serrate. Lots of influences here like late 90s screamo like Majority Rule and some hardcore elements too from Zao. Members of Harsh Realm, Old Flings, Just Die, Weak Wrists. https://www.noecho.net/features/serrate-north-carolina-band Tapes here: http://bittermelodyrecords.bigcartel.com We also have these cool new enamel pins for the label. 2.5" tall with black glitter enamel and laser etched back.

Thanks for the orders! I know a few came in from this coupon and I only posted it a couple places. It's still active now. I try to pick a good free item for folks and if I can match it to your taste I will. We have a new tape coming this week from Serrate (new skramz / hardcore band from Asheville). Members of Just Die!, Weak Wrists, Harsh Realm, and Old Flings. Think Majority Rule and early wristmeetrazor with solid production.

Hey! I sent this promo code out in my email blast but I figured I'd share it here too. Use code: FREEITEM in my store and I'll send you a random free item in your order. If you are ordering tapes/7"s then that's probably what you'll get to fit the box best but if you order LPs I'll find a free LP I can send you. http://bittermelodyrecords.bigcartel.com
