gmoney Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Friends, Wow, what a year it's been for Academy Fight Song! As we approach the last couple months of 2010, you may think things are wrapping up, but we aren't done just yet! In fact, November and December will be our busiest months to date, with a total of six releases coming out between now and the end of the year. Read on to see what we have up our sleeves and when you can get your hands on these releases! Love, RJ & Justin P.S. - We'd like to extend an extra special thank you to all of you who stood by us throughout the confusion and delays that surrounded our release of Brand New's "Devil & God" deluxe 2XLP. We hope you're as happy as we are with it, and how everything came out, it was WELL worth the wait we feel! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * NIGHTMARES FOR A WEEK "VEINS" 7"/DIGITAL SINGLE OUT NOVEMBER 9TH Nightmares For A Week "Veins" 7"/Digital Single Next Tuesday, November 9th, we will be releasing a teaser 7" from Kingston, NY's Nightmares For A Week. Featuring the single "Veins" and b-side "Feelin' Blue," the "Veins" 7"/digital single is definitely a good way to get to know the band before they release their debut full-length, "Don't Die," on December 14th. The 7" will be available to order on Tuesday [Nov. 09] from the brand new AFS WEBSTORE, starting at 9 AM EST. The pressing numbers are as follows: 50 black [exclusive to AFS WEBSTORE], 125 clear red, and 125 solid gray. The record will also be available digitally from all major digital retailers.

If you're not familiar with NFAW, now's the perfect time. Here's what Alternative Press had to say about the band: "NFAW draw inspiration from years spent on the road, forgoing Anadivine's atmospheric riffage for a gritty, whiskey-soaked twang that finds common ground between Johnny Cash and Jawbreaker." - 100 Bands To Watch / Alternative Press Magazine The vinyl will be available on the following colors: 100 180G black [exclusive to AFS WEBSTORE], 200 clear/solid gray swirl, and 200 red/yellow/blue swirl.

For the past couple months we've been working with our friends over at Limited Pressing, designing a brand new AFS WEBSTORE. Anyone that's tried to order from our old webstore knows the frustration of cart hoarding and the slow checkout process. Our new webstore, hosted by Limited Pressing eliminates both of those problems, and more! Here are a couple features that we are especially excited about: - MULTIPLE SHIPPING OPTIONS: You now the option to have your order shipped standard or expedited. If you live in the U.S. you can have your order shipped via USPS Media Mail, USPS First Class Mail, USPS Priority Mail, UPS Ground, or UPS 2nd Day Air. If you live outside the U.S., you now have the option to have your order shipped via USPS First Class International Mail or USPS Priority International Mail. - CART LIMITS: We now have the option to limit the amount of records people can add to their carts, along with a time limit for holding an item in the cart before it refreshes. This will completely eliminate the hoarding problems we've been having with some of our big pre-orders. - AUTOMATIC SHIPPING NOTIFICATIONS: With our old webstore we had to manually send out shipping confirmations, which was sometimes impossible depending on how busy we were packing and shipping out orders. With our new webstore, we can automatically send out shipping confirmation e-mails (with tracking numbers), with a simple click of the mouse. This will ensure that you know exactly when your order ships, and you'll have the option to track your order right away. Thanks again to Nick and Tom Mango at Limited Pressing, you guys rule! If you're looking for a solid webstore platform, be sure to check them out! In honor of our new webstore, we are running a special promotion! If you order between now and this Friday [Nov. 05] at 12:59 PM EST, you will receive 20% off your entire order! Don't miss out on this special discount, head over to the AFS WEBSTORE now!

headtowall Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Congrats to AFS on the new releases. Will have to check out one or two of those, for sure.Also. Despite probably sounding like a dick, I'll admit I was a little disappointed to see a lack of Blink-182's TOYPAJ on that "coming soon" list. Has there been any word on the AFS press? thats MTS not AFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japes Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I own the German pressing of MtCM/StCStS but I will definitely be picking this up for the 180g and most likely the awesome packaging that RJ's labels always put out. On a side note, RJ, will you guys ever do an American pressing of Split the Country since you're doing MtCM? As for color choice, I hope there's a shot of the new cover art before the pre-orders.
