MINDSET, GROWING STRONGER, TRANZMITORS PRE-ORDERS APRIL 2nd!

After the huge undertaking of moving our store from Seattle to California we’re finally ready to release some new records! Mindset, Growing Stronger, and Tranzmitors will all have new releases available for pre-order on Monday April 2nd. Of course there will also be new merch for the bands as well as package deals for all your vinyl fiend needs. Here’s the details:

RXR-030 Mindset- Collection LP

In celebration of 30 crucial records and the subsequent liquidation of two of the label's landmark releases, REACT! Records and MINDSET are proud to announce their latest collaboration; the MINDSET EP Collection (RXR-XXX).

The product of a bond formed in the back of rusting, heat-less cargo van/ death trap hurtling relentlessly through the frigid winter of 2007 during the waning days of The First Step, the REACT!/MINDSET relationship has developed from two up-and-comers to arguably one of the most crucial pairings of recent memory. The EP Collection resurrects and combines the out-of-print R E A L P O W E R (the record that started it all) with the band's raging sophomore release (also out of print!), Time & Pressure, onto a 45rpm 12". All tracks have been remixed by Kevin Bernsten at Developing Nations in Baltimore, and remastered by Carl Saff in Chicago, who ware able to collectively bring even more power and intensity to the MINDSET sound we've come to know and love. As always, graphics on this release were handled by Ev Wivell (vocals) and feature classic tour photography by Chris Bavaria (bass) from both eras of the band as well as live shots by Todd Pollock and Dan Gonyea. All this and more has been formatted into a gatefold LP, BOLD style! Each copy will come with a digital download and the pressing info is 300 on WHITE and 500 on BLACK vinyl.

For the diehards out there, we’re offering a Deluxe Edition double LP version on RED VINYL limited to 200 copies. This version combines a second press of the LiveSET LP (originally released by UpsideDown Records) with the Collection LP. A sort of one stop shop for all your MINDSET needs if you will. The 2xLP is the only version that will have LiveSET, and will also come with a limited zine and a sticker.

You can check out three of the remixed and mastered songs here:

RXR-029 GROWING STRONGER- TOXIC FUMES EP

Out of the rain soaked gutters of the gloomy Northwest comes Seattle's own Growing Stronger. Their new EP "Toxic Fumes" is a furious onslaught of angry straight edge hardcore, much in the vein of 97a and No For an answer. Six break neck speed anthems destined to make you grind your teeth while you sit in traffic and wait for the Space Needle to fall on the car in front of you. Recorded at the infamous Dangler by Phil Jones. Layout by FACE and Bubbles.

All copies will come with a free digital download, and the pressing info is 200 on GOLD, 300 on RED, and 500 on BLACK. This one is a real rager and Jim from REACT! is heading up the vocal duties so you need to check it out! This is such a special release for the label that we put together a documentary on how this record came together. Check it out:

RXR-027 TRAZMITORS- S/T

With several releases spanning such fine labels as Deranged, La Ti Da, Seeing Eye, Ugly Pop, Dirtnap, and Meaty Beaty, The Tranzmitors are back with a new single on React! Together since 2005 this Vancouver band is the perfect answer to anyone looking for songs with the astute hooks of Elvis Costello’s “This Year’s Model” and the punk virility of the Buzzocks. Like the Cute Lepers and the sorely missed Exploding Hearts, The Tranzmitors have the kind of timelessness that makes you want to forget about any punk records made after 1980. Err, except for this one.

I listened to this EP multiple times every day for two months straight so I can vouch for how awesome it is. Every copy will come with a free digital download and the pressing info is 200 on CLEAR BLUE, 300 on SOLID BLUE, and 500 on BLACK vinyl.

ALL PEACE/DAMAGES/FELL TO LOW/NOOSE ORDERS HAVE SHIPPED

Finally, after a lot of blood, sweat, and no tears all the Peace/Damages/Fell To Low/Noose orders have shipped. This was a huge delay for us, and you have our heartfelt apologies on that. Thankfully, now that we’re with Hellfish massive delays are a thing of the past, and we really appreciate all the support that we received from everyone. In the future all pre-orders will only be put up when records are already on their way to us, so that we can keep wait times as short as possible.

If you have yet to pick up these great release then what’s wrong with you? You can get them now from our webstore, or from any of the fine distros that we go through. If you’re cagey and want to check out some tracks before investing your hard earned cashola then check out our bandcamp:
