Hellogoodbye “Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!” coming to vinyl for the first time! Exclusive merchandise and vinyl preorders go live Aug 3 at 11am est.
 

Revolver/BrooklynVegan/HardTimes are serviced by the same merch/goods company: Project M Group

It seems like that is how this company operates, by shipping in order. Someone posted somewhere all the companies that roll up under the main label and they ship slow. I know Parting Gift/Take This To Heart is part of the fold and I ordered Rufio vinyl thinking it would ship right away since the email said these are in hand. That was a week ago, so just a waiting game, but they eventually ship.

Near Mint Records is finishing up their string of Daphne Loves Derby vinyl presses with the acoustic EP and the self titled LP. Both of these are available on vinyl for the first time. In the case of the self titled record, I believe this is its first physical release. Both pressings are limited and go on sale Friday July 21 at 12 p.m. EST. This is not a preorder--they are in hand and ready to ship.

Got my splatter but haven't been able to listen yet.
I find it odd that there's no mention of Near Mint at all on the jacket or labels, although it does have NMR in the matrix. This paired with the deletion of the release webpage is giving me bootleg vibes.
Guess it doesn't matter in the end, happy to own this.

“On Calling The Dogs (the band’s 5th record) it truly is the most excited and energized the band has been in a really long time,” guitarist Nick Hamm says. “This album makes me feel like I'm 19 again — it’s like therapy or something. It sent a lightning bolt through everybody that worked on it. We're ready to go.”

Across 11 tracks, Calling The Dogs explores a range of moods, styles and themes with each song as memorable as the last. The album’s first single, “If You’re Lonely,” is the kind of upbeat singalong anthem fans should expect to belt out at shows for years to come. Tracks like “Hyper Trophy” and “Can’t Take It Slow” show that Citizen can still put out unforgettable melodies over dance-worthy rhythms, while others (like “When I Let You Down”) lean more into timeless classics bordering on garage rock. As a whole, it’s as intense and energetic of an experience as the band has ever released.

“I really wanted to hone in on how it would feel to play the songs live while writing Calling The Dogs,” Kerekes says. “The songs on the last record are so much fun to play live, I wanted to make sure that this one would still invoke the same kind of emotion and crowd reaction. I kept asking myself ‘Will this be exciting to see live? How will the energy be?’ more than I ever have before.”

With all that said, the album is one of self reflection, as well as one that exercises personal demons for the members. The band’s overall willingness to confront themes that they’ve alluded to on past records – combating self-doubt, surviving and escaping familial toxicity, the development of self-awareness, and personal healing is one of the factors that makes Calling The Dogs their most poignant and cohesive body of work yet.

Never one to wait too long between albums, Calling The Dogs comes on the heels of 2021’s Life in Your Glass World, an album that (despite finishing recording in early 2020) spoke particularly acutely to millions during the pandemic and helped elevate Citizen to new heights. Combined with this summer’s sold-out celebrations (aka shows) for a decade of their debut, Youth, everyone involved is absolutely ready to explore what the next act holds.

That’s why Citizen sees Calling The Dogs as an incredible rebirth. They’re fully hitting their stride as the leaders of the post-COVID rock resurgence, and they’re in the uncommon place of being able to look back at their success and ahead at what’s to come at the same time. Citizen has the experience and wisdom of a longstanding act alongside the energy and hunger of a young band on the rise, as evidenced by the fact that most artists don’t get to go on an anniversary tour for their breakthrough album while still under the age of 30.

“We’ve been playing in bands together since we were like 10 or 11 years old, so we have a system that I don’t think anyone else would really understand,” Kerekes says. “There were definitely some tensions in the studio when we were younger, because everyone wants to be right and nobody wants to see their ideas thrown out. But now, the three of us know exactly what to do and nobody’s feelings get hurt, so it really makes Citizen a well-oiled machine.”

“The spirit of Citizen is just turning everything we do up to 11 and elevating it creatively as much as possible — and it feels like we can really come out guns blazing now,” Hamm says. “Every Citizen album explores different avenues we want to explore, and I think they always will. Calling The Dogs is the closest we’ve sounded to what I hear Citizen sounding like in my head, but that’s not a stopping point. It aligns with everything we want to do and everything we want to say right now, but that’s always evolving.”

Despite adding two new voices to the creative process this time around, Kerekes and the Hamms are so comfortable with each other that they’re well beyond any ego battles or other flare-ups and truly reaching new heights as both writers and performers. The three founding members have been playing music together for over half of their lives at this point, creating a “magic” bond that can’t be replicated and allowing Citizen to fully commit to everything they want to do.

With the ability to excel in both quiet ballads and distorted rock anthems, Citizen (which recently expanded to a full quintet with the addition of former touring members drummer Ben Russin and guitarist Mason Mercer) has an incredible knack for channeling raw emotion into singalong songs. On Calling The Dogs, the band exemplifies that passionate songwriting and styling while stripping back to what they do best: guitar-driven rock ‘n roll.

Picking up labels ranging from post-hardcore to shoegaze over the years, it’s reductive to try to categorize Citizen as anything other than one of the best rock bands around today. Evolving from teenagers playing local dives to a vibrant band capable of selling out theaters and hitting major festivals around the world, vocalist Mat Kerekes, guitarist Nick Hamm, bassist Eric Hamm, guitarist Mason Mercer, and drummer Ben Russin have earned their reputation as both tremendous songwriters and a must-see live act — and they do both better than ever on their new album, Calling The Dogs.
 
 

Just finished spinning my copy and it sounds really good. Nice and clean with virtually no surface noise. Splatter looks great. The little obi-esque strip on top is a nice little add on too!
Still shocked that this was announced, purchased, and delivered all within 5 days… what a time to be alive!

Gotta catch 'em all! 
 

I feel the need to stick up for my dude. @lexicondevil is actually one of the kindest, coolest dudes on the board which speaks volumes as to how off base your posts have been here. For him to be that annoyed with you is a true feat in itself.

Do you see anyone else here starting a new thread to announce records they just bought? No. That's because it's fucking annoying. Read the goddamn room. Instead of starting yet another thread in a forum that you are new to, why not try to contribute to conversations/threads already started? I have also been holding off commenting on your threads in hopes that you would grab a clue. If this new thread is any indication, it seems that you are not very aware of the world around you.

My guy. I've been holding my tongue, practicing the whole, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all," thing.
 
BUT.
 
You need to stop spamming the board with every thought you have. Read the rules/guidelines, read the FAQ, lurk the site to get a general vibe for a little while and then eventually try again. Use the search feature a little bit to see if you get any answers to your questions that way.
 
Nobody here really gives a shit about reading your blog or looking at your social media unless you're in a very specific niche, or very good at what you do.
 
Have you recognized any of the bands/albums that you see posted about on here? You seem mostly interested in classic rock and pop, which makes up a very, VERY miniscule percentage of the posts here. I know I'm not here wanting to mentor someone who is just getting into the hobby who also shares very little of the same musical taste, and I imagine most people here share that same sentiment.
 
I wish you luck on your record journey, but this isn't really a "starting point" type forum. The most active users here have mostly been involved with this forum for well over a decade at this point and have been collecting for much longer than that. We're a little jaded, and a lot sarcastic, and you came in here with a lot of questions as though you've done zero research or work to figure anything out on your own. Take a break from posting, read some threads, come back later, and don't take it too personally.

I played fullback in 82

I dunno. They haven't once mentioned The Used. I don't think Tug could go a single post without mentioning The Used. Maybe two posts... 

It's hard to imagine that there would be such a mess after you leave. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family, @jhulud
Peace brother

Man, this is horrible. So sorry you're having to deal with this. I'm not going to sit here and try and tell you what to do, or even act like I'd know what to do, but know that we're thinking about you. 

Please stop. 

Yeah, I don't see that happening anytime soon but thanks for playing!

You seem to have some sort of NPD going on. I suggest trying to be more self-aware, if you actually want to better yourself it's easier to recognize when you're doing it.

I would just keep using the Vinyl PO board of this forum as your own personal blog.  Seems to be working out pretty well.

I had the same thought and had to take out the calculator to confirm it was $5 cheaper and not $5 more haha

Am I having a stroke? Is the bundle for all 3 albums MORE than purchasing the exact same variant of each separately??????????????
UPDATE: I was having a stroke. It's $5 cheaper. I'm an idiot and have a nice day ✌️

just ordered that and the dear hunter represses
