Shinji Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 USE THE CODE VC5 FOR 5% OFF OF YOUR ORDER, CODE IS GOOD FOR LIFE Hey friends. Some of you may already be aware, but me and another user who goes by the name captainaldous have started a record label called Butterfly Puke Records. What started as an experiment has bloomed into something very real, and I could not be more happy about it. The first band we have released anything from is Awe Howler from our hometown in northern Illinois. It's hard to describe their exact style, but I'd say it sounds like a mix of Mineral, Sunny Day, but with obvious modern influence from the likes of Balance & Composure and Brand New. Listen for yourself: http://www.awehowler.bandcamp.com/ Anyways, here comes the good part: we pressed their debut album on vinyl. This has been something I have wanted to do ever since I started collecting vinyl but just never had the money (and still don't ) or real drive to do. Once me and Brandon heard their album, we knew we had to do this. I won't bore you all with descriptions of the album, as I really feel that you should simply listen for yourself. It's fucking great and emotionally taxing. We have pressed the album on orange colored vinyl which is limited to 200 and orange with "butterfly puke" black splatter which is limited to 50 and exclusive to our webstore. The splatter variant comes housed in a die-cut hand-made slip cover which we painted, wax-sealed, and numbered. All of the records comes with a fold over, double sided lyric sheet and a hand-stamped, numbered envelope with a photo print and a download card. Oh, and it also comes with a bag of whole bean coffee and an exclusive pin. Pin, hehe: These will go on sale on today at 11am CST, along with cassette tapes and shirts we had made for the webstore. VC has always been so damn supportive of me and Brandon doing this whole BPR thing, and I love you all. Link to actual webstore: http://www.butterflypukerecords.bigcartel.com/ Standard vinyl will be $13, deluxe will be $18, deluxe bundle with a longsleeve and cassette tape will be $32, and shipping in the US for most things is $4. International will vary. billya, David The Gnome, THE_James_Champ and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_James_Champ Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 This is awesome, Chris + Brandon. Can't wait to own/spin/cherish this record. Shinji 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billya Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 That deluxe bundle is too good to pass up. Shinji 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetsuodaironman Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I'm grabbing one of those splatters for sure. What a badass release. Shinji 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Oh hey, also I forgot to mention that there will be 2 test presses up for sale as well, each with a custom, hand-drawn and painted cover by my awesome girlfriend. Selling them for $45 because we're paying her $20 for each (which is criminally low for how awesome the designs look) and the test presses were $25 each for us.

Shinji Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 This is my room now that BPR is happening. Please, help me get this shit out of here. tetsuodaironman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Also, this will absolutely be available for a decent amount of time I'm assuming, as the band will have 75 copies to sell at shows, our webstore will have 155 copies to sell, and Exclusive Company, an incredible record store in Milwaukee, will have 20 copies to sell. BUT, once this goes out of print, it will most likely stay out of print, as we want to invest that money into another project that we will announce on Tuesday. dickcritter and RockPuppetz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HybridxReality Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Might have to go for the deluxe bundle. Band is so great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Thanks for the all kind words about us and the band you guys, I linked them to this thread and the other one and they want to cry. Also, I know not everyone is obsessed with merch like me, but these longsleeves and tshirts we are selling are so damn cool and well-fitting. tetsuodaironman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridxReality Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Don't know if I missed it, but how many sizes will be available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 these longsleeves and tshirts we are selling are so damn cool and well-fitting.What if your normal weight is 155-160 but you've been lingering under 190? Will it instantly make me more attractive? Shinji 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippielauryn Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Seriously I will scream, cry and throw a big childish fit if I don't get that deluxe. My BF texted me last night and said he wanted it. I was like... I KNOW!!!! I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING IT ON VC LIKE A MAD WOMAN. I have a feeling these will sell out. It's good stuff, and it seems you guys have been doing a hell of a good job on getting the word out. Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 If the deluxe sells out and we sell a couple shirts and standard LPs, chances are, we'll have another vinyl release of something else shortly. So that would be amazing. RockPuppetz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hey all who are buying this, if you have our Storenvy page bookmarked, delete it and change your bookmark to our BigCartel! Storenvy uses Stripe and it sucks and wouldn't let us print shipping labels via PayPal.
