yeah maybe!

Thanks everyone, these will probably sell out today or tomorrow.  More Fireworks vinyl coming in the near future (but not near enough that it made sense to put these up at the same time).

www.funeralplantcollective.com for all the new Fireworks stuff. 

Newbury Comics Exclusive: https://www.newburycomics.com/products/turnover-altogether_exclusive_lp?variant=29225233711209

Honestly, I don't know, but will post here when we get them. 

Yep! That will probably happen.

If you like old Teen Suicide, there's no chance you'll dislike the tour tape full length.

Color 3LS is sold out, some magenta/yellow Oranges 7" left, but won't be for long.

RFC exclusive color available here: http://www.runforcoverrecords.com/products/629335-basement-beside-myself

Adam did WPSE long before he quit Tigers Jaw FYI, we even did a record store day release for him in 2013. 

If anyones planning on ordering this, do it quick, our copies will be sold out very soon.

New Album is Sam's best and most cohesive work yet, in my opinion. Another new song here:

everyone's favorite band the casket lotter.

 

my favorite typo since their instagram post about the new American Pleasure Club song "New Years Day" (the song is New Year's Eve).

Sorry dude! Lot of shit to type, we all make mistakes! 

These records are going to be beautifully packaged and sound great. Really happy to be doing this

Pre-order the RFC reissues of The Casket Lottery's first three LP's here: www.runforcoverstore.com

Twenty years into its existence, The Casket Lottery is still evolving at its own pace. Over the course of four full length records, four EPs and countless other 7" singles, the Kansas City band has flirted with fidgety math rock, atmospheric explorations and anthemic singalongs, all while showcasing a masterful ability to balance world-weary heavy hearts with bombastic choruses that explode into stadium-sized fireworks displays. While the band has taken a few hiatuses over the past decade (with members contributing to other projects like Coalesce, Appleseed Cast, Able Baker Fox, Jackie Carol and singer Nathan Ellis' solo work), every return to action finds The Casket Lottery recharged and refocused, eagerly annexing new musical territories while still retaining that ragged, restless fire that sparked the band two decades prior.
 

This spring the band will be playing shows to help celebrate the rerelease of their first three LPs Choose Bronze (1999), Moving Mountains (2000), and Survival Is For Cowards (2002) on Boston label Run For Cover Records. The now-classic, long out-of-print albums are being repressed in limited quantities and will be available individually and in a box set available on Record Store Day 2018. Limited pre-sale is now available from Run For Cover. Tickets for the upcoming shows will be on-sale this Friday, January 12th at 10am local time (all tour dates below).

Yeah the color came out super strange, sorry about that. We were confused as well. 

Most limited version will be available by itself.  There's no excessive packages or anything. There is a bunch of new stuff available, but its all available individually to let people just get what they want.  There's going to be a really nice deluxe version of the record as well as a variant out of 500. 

I have heard this song twice live, and I really, really think it sucks. It unarguably sounds like a track cut from S/T because it sounded too much like 3 or 4 songs already on it.

Oh fuck off, karma cop. Teenagers do stupid shit, especially ones who are on tour and supplied with all the booze and drugs they can handle. I'm sure you like NOFX, right? Heard about the Cokie the Clown performance? Literally everything about that was fucking disgusting. 

You're comparing someone dressed up as a clown giving an arguably offensive performance on a stage, to someone hitting a girl in the face with a bottle of liquor. 

BUMP!

The Infinity Crush song on this is unreal. 

I am confused by this conversation because Nicole has no relation to OT. 

Either way! Listen to the new song here:

That's the funny  

Elvis D, Teen Suicide, Alex G.. Arguably Katie Dey and Infinity Crush.. And now Nicole! 

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan, Nicole is amazing. I'm in for the tapes. 

Genuinely curious, what's funny about it?

It's hard to disagree or correct information without sounding like an asshole, but I assure you I do not mean to sound like an asshole, nor am I trying to make someone look stupid. If anyone cares to read about DMM vs. Lacquer vinyl pressing there's tons of information provided with a quick google search, but I found the explanation of the two here: http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/poll-dmm-direct-metal-mastering-vs-lacquer-mastering-vs-dtd-direct-to-disc.350378/ to be pretty succint explanations.

I can tell by their boxes.

 

 

Both are true.   Pirate Press and A to Z are US Brokers for the GZ plant in the CzechRepublic, so all of "their" pressings go through the CzechRepublic.   

 

In my experience their pressings are very hit or miss as far as sound quality is concerned...additionally most of the crazier looking pressings (especially the hazes) tend to be really dirty right off of the press.  Their packaging is extremely cheap and lackluster and usually slightly too large which often results in seam splits.

 

Theres also rumor that they often just use a CD or low quality mp3s to source the audio from...sometimes even if you're getting a legit laquer cut to send to them, they'll start the project without waiting on the proper master...that part is speculative rumor, but everything in that above ramble is personal experience.

 

Respectfully, this information is not correct. Like any plant, Pirates/GZ use the audio you provide them. Are you implying that even when provided a quality vinyl master, they are somehow acquiring a CD or downloading MP3s and using those instead? Why would that ever happen? Some people prefer DMM and some don't, both methods have their pros and cons, but 99.9% of people would never notice the difference. If you've have poor sounding GZ pressings, it's because of the master provided. Sometimes their different configurations, haze in particular, has a "dust" or "sand" on it, which can easily be wiped off and does not scratch or hurt the record. This is definitely not ideal, but not the end of the world. 

GZ uses Direct Metal Mastering, which is a different process from using a lacquer. If you get a lacquer made and send it to Pirates or any plant pressing DMM vinyl you have wasted hundreds of dollars for no reason. 

Cheap packaging: Have you seen or held one of the Hey Mercedes 2xLPs, or really anything we've put out recently? You could likely knock someone out with it if you were so inclined. Like any plant in the world there is a multitude of packaging options. Nice things cost money. Some people don't want to pay for it, and in return their products have lighter/flimsier jackets. Blaming this on the plant makes zero sense. 

Honestly don't even know if its an online thing, I wouldn't glue yourself to your laptop just yet. 

not RFC related, but let's just say, don't buy a Salt tape second hand any time soon.
