Shitty Rambo Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 This was originally a thread for a Handwriting! lathe some shitty label never even made, but now Handwriting! is broken up. So is Casper Elgin amongst many other "twinkle" emo bands. So what we're gonna do is share bands that sound similar. We're not gonna talk about the fucking revival scene. We're not gonna take about Rites of Spring or Mineral. There's a thread dedicated to those discussions but I can't find it. If someone does I'll post a link here in the OP. Edit: here's that thread - http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/102186-the-emo-thread/ This is a SQUARE hand made mono record cut with a recording lathe into plastic. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS! Only leaving link up as a warning. http://deadimage.storenvy.com/products/13259796-handwriting-walmart-naruto Two of the best songs from my favorite album of 2015! Seriously, if you haven't heard these dudes before you need to get Scooter Dudes, it's pay what you want on their bandcamp. https://handwritingma.bandcamp.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJL95 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Love this album! Hoping a real vinyl release comes eventually, but definitely buying this in the meantime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Love this album! Hoping a real vinyl release comes eventually, but definitely buying this in the meantime Me too! I can't believe someone like Top Shelf hasn't swooped them up yet (Casper Elgin too for that matter). They usually release most of their stuff on cassette but haven't done a physical release with this yet so maybe there's something in the works and they're keeping it hush-hush. I figure grabbing this lathe is the least I can do given they're basically giving away their latest album. It's so damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladew1ll1s1sdead Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I would probably cry out of joy if my buds in Casper got signed. They're putting out a 7". Tests came in recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alogical Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Love these dudes. Their 7" was top notch. As with you guys, surprised no ones gotten to them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of a twinkly emo band that's been on Topshelf lately. I always figured Topshelf was trying to keep away from the newer "twinkly" bands. That'd be a good signing if they picked up these guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladew1ll1s1sdead Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I saw that photo on their FB! Do you know if it's new material?It's their demo! 3 variants. Their upcoming full length will be on vinyl. The tour exclusive tape I got in the mail yesterday has some new demos from the LP at the end of it. They've also put up a couple small rough demos on their tumblr, and one on a comp for Driftwood records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put up leftovers but the 7" is gone (woulda grabbed one but I just barely got off work and Storenvy won't work on my phone or tablet anymore for some reason). Still got the tape though! - http://casperelgin.storenvy.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismusser603 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I saw that photo on their FB! Do you know if it's new material? yo! thnx for the kind word<3 the 7" is 'it's just a fucking demo' minus "castle rat" because we couldn't fit all 5 songs on it and no one really cares about that song. The tape does have a few demos, no idea if those will end up on the full length but we played 2 new songs on our most recent tour that are going on it, filmed a studio session for a 3rd new song, and have a few more written! this is the most detail i've given about the full length and only 2 people will see it probably haha. but buy this! handwriting are incredible people / this label is run by some of my best friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJL95 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Here's the label's FB, no updates since July 1st. https://facebook.com/deadimagerecords That's pretty suspect. I'll try to email them when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Looks like Handwriting! deleted any mention of this lathe from their FB. I sent an email to the label, if I don't get a reply within a week or so I'm just gonna open a PayPal claim. Sorry guys :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gutzonborglum Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Rad Girlfriend did the same thing with their Pretty Boy Thorson 7" single series. Promised a series of three releases, with a sub version /100 for the first two, then an exclusive third 7" for those who subscribed. They released the first two, minus any sub versions, and erased any public mention of the series throughout their outlets. No third release and no response to countless inquiries. Bit of a bummer. Communication is such a simple thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 At this point I'm positive this isn't ever going to be made/shipped. I opened a claim. I suggest you all do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 It's been a week and this dude hasn't even responded to the claim. Sketchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladew1ll1s1sdead Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I asked the Handwriting dudes what's up and they know as much as we do. I'm sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shitty Rambo Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 we're slowly losing all the "twinkly" emo bands this sucks sports. - demon daze is a phenomenal album. I'll be putting out the new Boys' Club album (Lives Forever) on tape next month. They're crazy good. Similar bands still exist, they're just really hard to find. I raided Bandcamp last night just searching for bands from related band's show fliers haha. If I come across anything cool I'll share it. Maybe this can become a dedicated thread to twinkly noodly emo bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 The emo revival is dead. Just give it up guys. Time for the nu metal revival to take over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
