give this a little bump. the posters are gone, but we have some other surprises up our sleeves for people that pre-order. please take a minute and listen to the stream at least. it would mean the world to us. thank you.

no prob! and thanks again for checking out the Bloodpheasant LP.

yeah she does!!! have you checked out her other band Gertrude Atherton? really good stuff.

Modern-Vinyl.com have an exclusive full stream of Bloodpheasant - Traum, the newest release from Tor Johnson Records. Bloodpheasant features members of Weak Teeth, The Two Funerals, Best Practices, and Jesuscentric. doom-y,swamp-y, folk-y, metal. FFO: Mouth Of The Architect, Alice In Chains, Chelsea Wolf. http://modern-vinyl.com/2014/03/20/exclusive-spin-bloodpheasant-traum/

this is up on Spotify, should be on iTunes/Amazon/etc within the next week or so. its also for sale in the TJR store, Bridge 9 distro, and will be at Armageddon & Olympic locally soon. probably a couple other places in the near future too. and "moving" coupon is good through next week, then done.

tapes are in & shipping!! red tapes with mettalic gold ink along with letter-pressed covers by Spofford Press and hand typewritten inserts.

still have a couple of these. we still have ALAWALWAD/The Hound & Old Sarum/Raise The Curtain splits that we're waiting on art for.

completely understandable. i'm in the middle of moving across town & taking over batches of TJRHQ stuff sucks....but the thaw is coming!!

yeah, i hear you man. there is a pretty good pvd thread on B9...but even that has died down. LON has been pretty slow too....

realized i haven't updated this thread in a while.2/13 - Bloodpheasant, Harris Hawk, Shaman, Good Lord @ AS220 2/22 - Tyler Daniel Bean, Headless Nixon, Au Revoir, Snowplows @ AS220 3/21 - The Attending, Somos, Way Out, Gavage @ AS220 3/22 - The Body @ MWM 4/16 - Bloodpheasant, Ma Jolie, The Weaks, Darklands @ AS220 5/4 - Weak Teeth, Sea Of Storms, and more @ Dusk i'm sure there are tons more i'm blanking on right now....

yeah, the bloodpheasant lp is ridiculous. i haven't heard the masters yet, but the mixes sound insane. i seriously can't wait to share this with everyone.

hey, so for the first time in 7 years i'm moving across town. so TJRHQ is moving too. i would love to move less records than i have now. so we put a new coupon code up on the webstore. use code "moving" at check out for $$$ off. www.torjohnsonrecords.com for anyone local to Providence, use "pick up in store" for free hand delivery. use "check/mo" for cash or credit on delivery. in other news, we have a couple new releases coming down the pike. new 3 Song EP cassette from Alpha Owl (riffs featuring members of Weak Teeth, Best Practices, Learn, She Rides, Hulk Out etc) coming in hand letter-pressed packaging. check out the tracks at alphaowl.bandcamp.com. we also have the debut LP from Bloodpheasant (swampy punk grunge featuring members of Two Funerals, Weak Teeth, Deleted Arrows, Jesuscentric, etc) in the works. check out a teaser track at bloodpheasant.bandcamp.com

anytime!! glad you like it. Hook- yeah, i agree! curse of Trash Art i guess. hahahaha

hell yeah dude. its really good. i don't know if you ever saw them as a 4 piece, but it captures it perfectly (in my option). hopefully they find a new drummer now that jonah moved to RVA so they can start playing again....

just got restocked if anyone is still without this record. check it out. thanks all!

the first release that needed packaging has been completed. there are now 10 Soul Control - Like Spiders 7"s with exclusive silk-screened covers. you can order them here: http://www.torjohnsonrecords.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_music_info&cPath=3&products_id=929 we'll update once the rest are done.

ok, updated everything. all the TDB releases with original packaging are up in the webstore. including super limited Engineer The Dregs shirts. all the stuff that need to have packaging made will be put up once that stuff gets sorted out.

no prob!! we just sold out as well. we have more coming in this week.

seriously, this record slays!!! as if they never stopped playing.

figured i'd bump this. i'm slowly going through the last batch of records i got from jonah. cataloging what we have for 7"s etc. looks like i will be making exclusive packaging for the Soul Control 7"s, ALAWALWAD/The Hound 7"s, and Old Sarum/Raise The Curtain LPs. i expect to be done inventorying everything by the end of the week & adding stuff to the webstore, but if you are interested in anything, let me know & we can work it out. there are also some Engineer shirts that we will be putting up & there was a bunch of "distro" CDs that will be going up on the cheap.

not sure how many of you remember NH band Backstabbers Inc from the early 2000s (their singer left the band to create Trap Them). anyway, they recorded this amazing record years ago & for one reason or another it got held up getting pressed. the band decided to say fuck it & self-release it. 8 songs, one-sided, clear vinyl. featuring jonah from Ramming Speed on drums. i am very excited to be one of the distributors of this crazy record (its seriously such a banger!). check out this music video they made: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=609349455767163 we have copies at http://www.torjohnsonrecords.com along with tons of other awesome stuff. check it out!

its a club. its at 301 Harris Ave. around the corner from Squid Amps (if you ever went there). behind the mall. awesome spot. cheap shows, beer, fun times. also they have that special license that people can drink outside on the sidewalk. awesome for summer time.
