Black Numbers Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hey guys. I'm new here, but I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I play guitar in a band called Banquets, and we just released a digital/cassette split with our buddies from upstate NY called Mayflower. We're looking for someone to put it out on a 7". You can stream the original tracks from it here: http://blacknumbers.bandcamp.com/album/split There are also two covers which we'd rather leave off the vinyl version, mostly for time constraints, but also so no one has to worry about licensing. We really just think that this split deserves a release on wax. Black Numbers (the label we're on/i help run) have too much on our plate to go after a 7" right now on top of it. Banquets have a full length coming out that has been getting a ton of buzz, and pre-orders are going really well on. So we think anywhere from 300-500 copies would be a really solid number, but shorter runs would be fine with us as well. We have art all ready to go as well. Write back here, or feel free to email dave[at]theblacknumbers[dot]come if you'd like a free download of the entire 6 song split. Also, Banquets has a ~30 second song we could throw on the end of our side if you wanted something like that. Thanks, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydethejackal Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Mayflower is pretty rad. They have an LP on Kiss of Death. Look to them? I don't really know how this shit works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalinacaper Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 This really does need to happen. Is the ~30 second song the one about getting high? haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychoriley Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Mayflower Second Best Sunsets LP is GREAT, don't know why more people don't have this....If I had money to throw around I'd definitely help out... I have the screen print cover black vinyl /100: Pick it up at KOD!!!! http://kissofdeath.limitedpressing.com/products/7820 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalinacaper Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 How much does it generally cost to get a limited run 7'' like this out? Assuming you guys already have the retail front/shipping part of it covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robx Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 We really just think that this split deserves a release on wax. but not enough to all save up and do it ourselves, like other bands... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I don't know you guys, but I listened to that tape enough times to catch the secret song 5 minutes after the end of your side haha. Just been listening to/following you guys for long enough to know my shit. I'm the guy that entered your photoshop contest with a Paint edited picture and took a solid last place finish haha.

johnjohn Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Banquets is great! When travis parted ways with Let Me Run I was hoping he'd pop up somewhere. A little while later he did as the voice of Banquets. His voice is what I dug most about Let Me Run, and now with the rest of Banquets it makes for a really awesome band with a bad ass sound.

trontank Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 European folks should check out the screenprinted "Top Button, Bottom Shelf"-LP on Coffebreath And Heartache. Looks really nice, I've placed and order yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
