SALVATION - ROYAL FUCKS LP (limited to 100!) 

Limited to 100 copies on mystery colored vinyl with hand-stamped labels and foldover covers. Pressed by Smashed Plastic in Chicago. Should start shipping in a few weeks (was on the press last week and they discovered an issue with the stampers, otherwise it'd be shipping now). 

FFO: Cherubs, METZ, Jesus Lizard, Scratch Acid, noisier Nirvana stuff

Nice, thanks! We did not have many of those in 2001! (fans). Haha. 

Hell yeah, thanks dudes! 

Not sure anybody gives a shit one way or another, but my dumb label put out this dumb album by my dumb band in 2002 and finally pressed a vinyl version of it in even dumber 2020. We also recorded one new song for it on the eve of the pandemic. Only pressed 100 (even that is probably too many) at Smashed Plastic in Chicago and it turned out very nice.

Here's an excellent review from Razorcake #12 (from back in 2002) that will sell you on it:
I thought it was the band from Almost Famous, but it's the band from "Almost AmRep 1990" doing a disjointed-music-and-lyrics, chicago thing that's interesting for the short period between when it starts and when it becomes clear there's just too much of it(so much, in fact, that many of the measures have five beats instead of four. Humans have two legs and so can't dance properly in 5/4 time).

We also made a music video for the new song using footage we shot back in 2002 so maybe check that out too:

ENGINES - Every Cell 12" EP

Farewell 6 song one-sided 12" from Chicago's ENGINES (members of Towers, Elder (PA), Holy Roman Empire, Stillwell, Ribbonhead, Pink Eyes). Loud indie rock whatever. Our guitar player moved to Atlanta so we recorded everything we had written for our second album and finally got around to pressing it. 300 copies on colored vinyl with full color jackets and a DL code and all that.  RIYL: Rainer Maria, Velocity Girl, Tsunami

Because we like throwing money away, we're putting out a limited to 20 hi-fi-stereo 12" lathe cut of a non-active band's non-active side project. That's right, the sophomore album from Chicago's PINK GUYS is out TODAY on all of your favorite streaming services. We started recording this in 2014 and finally finished it in 2018. Better late than never, right? Anyhow, you can pre-order the lathe cut NOW. It's gonna be a one-sided clear 12" that will sound and look fantastic. Full color art. Full lyrics and root chords in the liner notes so you can play along. Limited to just 20 copies and selling for less than you can buy a run of the mill 12" at your local record store (or hell, even from most record labels these days).  No, we are not related to that PINK GUY who gets all the hits on YouTube. And we were around first, so fuck that guy. This is a pop/punk side project from members of Pink Eyes, Engines, Towers, Stillwell, Peter and Craig, etc. etc. Not some dude in a pink suit. 13 songs in 19 minutes. Songs about our cats, our practice space circa 2014, our pure hatred of tonic water (we had a song about how much we love seltzer on our first album), our friends, a nude painting we found in the garbage, etc. If you like pop, punk, or pop punk, maybe you'll like it? I dunno. 

Stream/buy here (or find it on Spotify, YouTube, etc. etc.):

Bumping this again because these are now shipping and getting out into the world. Good times.

Bumping this because nobody has time to scroll down anymore.

I have an overrun OG (no 7"), so I happily threw $16 at this. People need to buy this record!

It actually sounds way better and looks cooler, so you'll be better off anyway

FAR-022 DAKOTA/DAKOTA - Shoot in the Dark+ LP (2018 reissue)

Hey, I hate money, so I decided to reissue this discography LP for the band Dakota/Dakota from Chicago. They broke up 15 years ago. Members went on to form way more famous bands like Russian Circles, Bloodiest, RLYR, Lasers and Fast and Shit, JOB, etc. etc. Instrumental indie/math rock that has since been mutated into the emo revival. Only these guys never bothered with any of the pop punk stuff and just wanked the whole time. So if you like wanky instrumental music, give it a listen. We did it up real nice - random colored vinyl, fancy spot gloss jackets, and even a handful of WAX MAGE vinyl copies. Stream it all here:

https://forgeagainrecords.bandcamp.com/album/shoot-in-the-dark

Bumping this ancient thread. Destination Failure is being reissued by Side One Dummy as a 2xLP with bonus tracks, as per the interview I just listened to with Josh and Eli Caterer on WXRT. Early 2018. 

20% off ANYTHING (ALL single LPs are below $10) if you use the code CAPITALISM at http://forgeagainrecords.bandcamp.com including the BRAND NEW

STNNNG / Child Bite split and LPs from Engines, Salvation, Lasers and Fast and Shit!, Destroy This Place, Pink Eyes, Old Gods, etc. 

Take advantage of our stupidity through the end of November.

any idea what these are limited to?

I believe 100 each. Both records rule though so you should JUMP on this. 

I am gonna bump one final time on the off chance it catches somebody's eye that wouldn't have seen it otherwise. These are moving very quickly.  

Oh hey I guess these turned out ok. 

Clear w/black (still available):

Purple w/blue (still available):

Wax Mage purple/blue nebula (sold out!):

Bumpin!

Anybody who has clicked into this thread has probably heard one or both of these bands by now so I won't bother with a lengthy description of what they sound like.
 

We did a split LP for the two bands. STNNNG broke up while it was in production, so it features their final recordings (done just before the LP that came out earlier this year). CB recorded their songs (with Wes fuckin' Borland) before their lineup change this summer. So in many ways this is a swan song for both bands (though CB will chug along with new members). 

First (and probably only) pressing limited to 533 copies (241 clear w/black, 241 purple w/blue, 51 Wax Mage purple/blue nebula) and features a multi-color silkscreened A-side with art from Shawn Knight. Above picture is the "digital" cover - I think it's just a part of the screen art. Once they get screened next weekend, I'll post those pics too.  Pre-orders will start shipping November 13. You should also check out our other two releases from 2017 - full length LPs from SALVATION and ENGINES.
