We've got a new 7" from Chris Wollard and the Ship Thieves coming out for Fest this year. The record will feature two brand new songs recorded just weeks ago with Ryan Williams in his new studio Black Bear here in Gainesville. The A side is a motown inspired rocker titled, "Anybody Else" while the B side is a shimmering and slightly haunting acoustic track titled, "Left to Lose". The record will first go on sale at the Fest Flea Market during FEST 9 in Gainesville on Friday October 29th. The pressing is limited to 500 copies on white vinyl. Hand numbered in screen-printed covers. These two songs will only be available in vinyl format. "Left to Lose" can now be streamed here: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Chris-Wollard-The-Ship-Thieves-OFFICIAL/108813349145950?v=box_3 www.soundstudyrecordings.com

Funny you should mention that. So, yeah, we ordered 150 on opaque red and they showed up looking very, very pink. Which I guess is always a possible problem when mixing red and white. Unfortunately though they labels were pretty far off center on the majority of the colored records as well (the black ones were fine likely) So, long story short, I pulled out about 40 of the "pink" red ones that I thought the labels looked okay on, and the plant is re-pressing the other 110. Hopefully the replacements will look more red, but we'll see. If they do come back looking different the first 40 or so of you guys that ordered will end up having a rarer version.

Now you can... The 7" is streaming at punknews.org Check it out at www.punknews.org/bands/cityofships Dinosaur!! - I just sent you an IM

What's the store charging you?

City of Ships "Three Mile Bridge/South Laurel" 7" SSR007 City of Ships rip through two new songs on this 7". It's heavy. It's dynamic. It's gritty yet precise, a giant wall of layered guitars and raging drums. It's a little technical and a lot melodic. It's really good. Includes a download code that gets you a bonus track in the form of the band covering M83's "Don't Save Us From The Flames." 150 on red 350 on black. Available now in the Sound Study webstore (www.soundstudyrecordings.com/soundstudy/shop) for $4. Also available digitally from all major online retailers.

To be more specific, we have 5 copies left of this. I just checked.

Yes, this record does rule and we do still have some copies on both colors, although there aren't too many left of the clear w/ maroon haze. If anyone is interested you can pick up either color from us for $12 at www.soundstudyrecordings.com/shop or from the fine folks at No Idea. Also! We have a new City of Ships 7" at the plant right now. It should be available in a week or two. It's two new songs, "Three Mile Bridge" and "South Laurel." It will also include as a bonus track with the digital download code the band's cover of m83's "Don't Save Us From the Flames." I'm sure I'll be posting more info about this here soon when we get the records in. 150 on red vinyl 350 on black.

Hey, so I just found about 10 copies of the Off With Their Heads "Live at the Atlantic" volume two 7" on yellow vinyl. They were limited to 170. As far as I know these aren't available anywhere anymore. If anyone wants one of these you can grab it for $4 from the Sound Study Recordings webstore here: www.soundstudyrecordings.com/soundstudy.shop.html just write in the comments that you'd like one of the yellow ones.

Liquid Limbs new 7", "Dichotomy" is now up and available from the Sound Study Recordings Webstore, www.soundstudyrecordings.com/soundstudy/shop.html Liquid Limbs return with two new ear crushing jams.

"Anxiety Free" continues in the band's tradition of combining brutal heaviness with catchy melodies. Recorded with engineer/producer Ryan Williams. Check out "Anti Sacred Shrine" on the band's myspace page: www.myspace.com/liquidlimbs 150 on clear 350 on black Also anyone in the Gainesville area... come out tonight (6/12) to the release party at the Atlantic.

So we had a really rad benefit show at the Atlantic last Sunday. Against Me!, Averkiou, Whiskey & Co, Grabass Charlestons and Holopaw played.

We made these silk screened posters for the event and have a few left over, so we are putting them up in the Sound Study webstore for $15, www.soundstudyrecordings.com/shop looks like this: Cream and black ink on a heavy gray paper stock. 12.5x19” signed & hand numbered of 48. (About 20 left) All proceeds will be donated to The American Red Cross Posters will be sent in a sturdy mailer wrapped in Kraft paper.

The Basics: We are proud to announce the addition of The Future Now to our family. We will be releasing the debut full length for the Gainesville, FL based three piece this March. The record, titled "Hazy Orange Sunday" was recorded between June and August of last year with engineer/producer Ryan Williams and mastered by Nick Zampiello at New Alliance. The album will see release in both vinyl and digital formats and will feature artwork from comic book artist Larry E. Watts. The band has posted three new songs from the record on their myspace page ( www.myspace.com/thefuturenowband ), "Talker with an S", "Honestly" and "Ghost Cousins." "Ghost Cousins" features guest vocals from Gared O'Donnell (PLANES MISTAKEN FOR STARS, HAWKS AND DOVES) and Matt Farrel (YOUNG LIVERS). Following the release of the record, the band will be making stops at the Harvest of Hope Fest, Radfest! and are planning a full east coast tour in May. If you have a few minutes, check these guys out. We are super excited to be working with them and could not be happier with how this record turned out. www.myspace.com/thefuturenowband www.soundstudyrecordings.com
