ALL RELEASES AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE, DOWNLOAD & STREAMING HERE >> https://warhenrecords.bandcamp.com/

 

Who: WarHen Records

Where: Charlottesville, Virginia

Why: Creative outlet, good music deserves good treatment

What: I release whatever I want.

How: Blood sweat & tears.

 

I run about 95% of this label by myself. The other 5% is from much needed and appreciated volunteer work from friends who are happy to lend their services for a free copy of whatever record I'm having them work on.

Communication is key, so please feel free to get in touch about anything I've got going on and I'll do my best to get back to you in a reasonable time frame. I have a full time job working at a concert venue, so sometimes it takes me a minute to respond, but I always will.

 

All of these bands have ties to the Charlottesville, VA music scene in one way or another. Most live here in town, but others are spread out. Left & Right is in Philly, most of the Wrinkle Neck Mules are in Texas, etc...

Most packages tend to get some bonus goodies in them.

Thanks for checking it all out. Hope you hear something you like.

For those interested, here is the b-side for Sarah White & the Pearls - Married Life. This song is more on the pop side, but Married Life (much like most of her music) is pretty much straight alt. country.

Sarah White - guitar/vox

Ted Pitney - guitar/vox (ex-King Wilkie)

Michael Bishop - bass/vox (ex-GWAR/Kepone)

Stuart Gunter - drums/vox (Wrinkle Neck Mules)

Some updates:

- We are sold out of the white copies of the Married Life 7". Still plenty of black records available.

- We will have 2 new releases by 2 Charlottesville bands in August. A 7" by Red Rattles, and a 7" by The Fire Tapes. Both will be limited to 100 or 150 copies, and all records will be on colored wax. Red for Red Rattles (obviously) and splatter for The Fire Tapes

Red Rattles recorded today, and came out with 9 songs for us to choose from. They sounded great!

150 copies on red wax will be pressed and ready to go by September at the latest.

The Fire Tapes will be recording soon, and will hopefully have their songs ready so we can release the records at the same time.

They will also have 150 copies, pressed on mixed splatter wax.

Been a while since I last updated this thread. Mostly because I have a full time job and this is kinda just a hobby and we tend to take our time with everything.

Anyway, I just got the test pressings in the mail today for the upcoming Red Rattles 7".

They sound big and gritty and raw and awesome.

BIRTHDAY SALE!!
http://warhenrecords.bandcamp.com/

In celebration of my birthday today, everything is super cheap, and will probably stay that way for a good while... At least a week, but probably more!
Vinyl folks who haven't purchased anything from me yet - now's your chance to pick it all up on the bargain tip!
Regular customers - first of all THANKS. Second of all - here's your chance to pick up (most of) the WarHen discography for all of your friends without dropping a ton of coin.

Dwight Howard Johnson LP - $8
All 7"s - $3
All 7"/cassette downloads - $2
All LP downloads - $5
BIG AIR cassettes will be back in stock soon! Hopefully this week!

You will most likely get a freebie with your order. In fact, I'd say that's a guarantee. If you get charged with multiple shipping costs, never fear - I will refund all necessary $$$.
Help me liquidate the back stock to help make room for more front stock!!
Hoping to get a record out at some point for Ginger Ale aka Luke Nutting from Red Rattles. Also looking to work with Charlottesville ex-pats-who-now-live-in-Philly Left & Right and hopefully something soon with BIG AIR.
