Make sure to follow us and the band.

 

Announcements coming soon on this and other incredible records. You'll be stoked.

Holy Christ! I might be one of the few people on this board who loves Shotmaker more than most things but this is awesome news! 
 

Is it a discography? I heard they lost the masters to a bunch of their material and had to do analog rips for the discography double CD that Troubleman did. I own most of their stuff (I think I’m just missing two of the 7”s and a tape split?) but I’ll definitely double dip if there’s anything “new” coming out with their name attached.

 

for anyone else unfamiliar, they were a sick post-hardcore band from the 90’s and had some of the gnarliest bass stuff going on!

I shit bricks when I saw this on instagram yesterday. I am hoping for some sort of discography since I am a herb and never got their stuff pre-the vinyl boom. But I will honestly buy whatever it is. 

I always talked about these guys like they were Canada's Fugazi. Bands like Blake, The Plan, Okara, etc. all probably wouldnt have existed if not for them. I always loved that Shotmaker is way closer to early emo/screamo/emocore (think like Indian Summer, Sleepytime Trio, etc.) than like DC styled post hardcore though (obviously discounting Hoover) and that explains alot about elements that would pop up in Canadian bands that came after. 

Clearly, i am over excited for whatever this ends up being & I dont normally have an instance to go on about this band haha.

Sorry for late reply.

 

Mouse Ear Forget Me Not is a top ten for me. We're going to announce everything soon - so hang in there, biting my tongue - but trust me - you guys will be stoked. 

 

For anyone else keeping notes...we recently announced the Antarctica 2 x LP, Pleasure Forever new 12" and have a ton of more stuff coming this year and next.

 

We just listed some limited test press edition covers on band camp (nuzzle sold out immediately) - were going to do another round next month. Follow us on insta for info

 

Thanks for reading - 

Chuck

Ordered without hesitation. I own most of the back catalogue, but I had to double dip. Did you end up doing analogue transfers from the original records? I thought masters for most of the back catalogue were lost? (At least according to the discography CD Troubleman did) Also, what happened to the Watershed split and comp songs? Haha. Either way I'm beyond stoked as fuck for this and for the affordability, mad props! ❤️

I’ve corrected this with an afternoon listen.  @prowl20 was not lying about that bass work.  Probably going to explore at least 1 more of their releases to seal the deal but it feels like a pretty obvious no-brainer.

Mouse Ear Forget Me Not / Maximillian Colby split (both sides) and the Believe In 7” are my favorites.

Not only is the music good, but that price is fantastic.
