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.): https://forgeagainrecords.bandcamp.com/album/1471 OR https://pinkguys.bandcamp.com/album/1471

Hey folks. I have been running Forge Again Records, which has been putting out actual records and CDs and all that stuff for 15 years now (damn, I am getting old). Last year I decided to put out a cassette for a side project band and created an imprint called COLD SLITHER TAPES in order to do so. I have continued to focus my efforts on records since, but given how much of a bummer the record pressing game is lately (it takes forever), I'll probably only be doing a small handful of LP releases per year going for the time being. Therefore, I decided to start doing some more with the COLD SLITHER TAPES imprint. The first tape was for PINK GUYS and there is, literally, one of those left (also available as a download or a 10" lathe cut from Forge Again Records). But now I'm starting to ramp it up again. The plan is to only release NEW music - albums, EPs, singles, etc. that aren't yet available anywhere else. Pro recordings (at least for now), pro-dubbed tapes (mostly), with digital, etc. Already have three tapes planned for the rest of 2015 (maybe we'll throw another one in there soon...)

Let's talk about the awesome shit that's coming out. First up, is a tape from Chicago's SALVATION. It's a fucking hot one. We'll have another announcement later this week and then another the week after that! Starting hot and heavy. If you have some cool stuff, send it my way. Maybe we'll put it out! CST-002 SALVATION - ROYAL FUCKS CS (first press, 100 copies on red chrome cobalt tapes w/white imprint, DL code, pro-dubbed by NAC) - 7 song rager from Chicago's SALVATION, a killer punk/rock/garage/grunge three-piece that will make you think of early days of Nirvana. Shipping now! To stream/buy: https://coldslithertapes.bandcamp.com/album/cst-002-royal-fucks Annnnnd stay tuned in here because the next one will be announced by the end of the week.

For anybody into dumb limited releases that are cool but don't sound great (aka people who buy lathes), check out these ones that we just cooked up over at Forge Again Records. Stream/buy them both NOW at http://forgeagainrecords.bandcamp.com PINK GUYS - 2343 10" clear lathe - 12 songs, 19 minutes of pop punk goodness. limited to 27 copies with full color foldover sleeves, full lyrics and chords on the inside so you can play along. Includes nice high quality stereo download to go with your mono mosher hunk of plastic. Gotta take a better picture of this, but just imagine a 10" record on clear vinyl with full color labels that look like the cover. PINK GUYS "GIMME SELTZER" B/W" "HOLD THE TONIC" 5" clear square lathe - 2 songs, our hit single "Gimme Seltzer" on the A-side with a sneak peek at our next album 1471 with "Hold the Tonic" on the B-side. This comes in hand-made seltzer box packaging (we drank the seltzer at practice, and then some. Let's just say we could have pressed more than 26 of these). This guy is FREE if you see us in person or included for free if you buy the 10". Download is free too!
