Gruff Beard Update New releases and more!


Recommended Posts

Just wanted to start this out by thanking everyone who supported Gruff Beard Records in our first year. It was an excellent year and we could not have done it with out you guys so thank you all so much for the support and get stoked because we have only just begun!

Also want to welcome to the Gruff Beard family my brother from another mother Jon Zanghi. Jon started out helping me with doing mail order and eventually started doing so much for the label I just had to make him part of it. He has an amazing passion and love for music and I am so excited to have him be part of this.

And now for some updates:

New Shipping Policy: Just wanted to let everyone know that we are no longer doing international shipping. We will only be doing media mail shipping within the United States. On a good note we have now directly partnered with Different Kitchen Records to help distro all of our releases to any one who wants them out side of the U.S. Alan is a great dude and he will not only be carrying all of our releases but we will also be giving him exclusives for each release that will only be available at Different Kitchen Records. Please check his site out here http://differentkitchen.bigcartel.com/ and be sure to stop there for all you GBR needs. You can also grab any of our releases at www.Deadbrokerecords.com ,www.Kissofdeathrecords.com , and www.Trafficstreetrecords.com.

Distro: We are really looking to expand out distro section so any bands, distros, or labels looking to make some trade please drop us an email. We would love to carry your releaes. We are also working on setting up a distro at some local shows in Brooklyn and the surrounding areas. More to come on that soon!

That is all for now hope everyone is as excited as we are for this year and trust me this is only scratching the surface much more news to come very soon! GET STOKED!

Good idea to team up with Alan and DK, he's always great to deal with. Any plans on more cassette releases? That Nightlights tape is awesome :)

I love Alan/Different Kitchen one of my favorite distros and honestly I just had so many bad experience with overseas shipping I just had to do away with it plus people can get stuff way cheaper thru him vs paying all that shipping thru me.

As of right now the Dead Ringer EP will be on cassette as well as Vinyl/CDR. I have asked other bands if they were into doing a cassette some are some are tottally against it so as of right now thats all I got but I am really trying to release more I personally love cassette releases so hopefully I can get more out in the future.
