Tor Johnson Records update - releases, shows, etc


Recommended Posts

so, its been a while since i posted one of these. figured might as well.

 

-New Releases- so, we have decided to put out the new 7" from Providence's Best Practices called Sore Subjects. we're releasing it with Willow Tree Records. should be out soon. we'll announce pre-order shit once test presses get approved. you can listen to the follow up to last year's The EP LP (put out by Tiny Engines) at bestpractices.bandcamp.com . We are also happy to announce we will be putting out a new 7" from Burlington's Tyler Daniel Bean called Everything You Do Scares Me with Kat Kat Records. this should be out by his tour in July. it'll come in hand silk-screened chipboard packaging. also, we'll announce pre-order stuff when the time is right. lastly, we will be releasing a DVD of the 10-Year Anniversary Show we help last year. this has been a long editing process, but the goal is to have it out in time for this year's Foo Fest at AS220. can't say why, but trust me you want to take the day off for that show and come rock out.

 

-Shows- we have a couple shows coming up. if you can, come hang out: May 4th Thrillhouse, Best Practices @ AS220; May 23rd Tenants, Choke Up, Somos, Bad Swimmers (mem. Verse, Mouth Of Flowers, Masthead) @ AS220. we will also be at the May 5th Providence Rock & Roll Yardsale with tons of goodies. new shirt designs, sales on TJR release, and about 1000 used $1 LPs.

 

-Bandcamp- slowly but surely, we are adding all our releases to our bandcamp. everything will be up there. OOP, unreleased, upcoming, everything. check it out: torjohnsonrecords.bandcamp.com

 

-lastly, everyone please take the time to check out our store. there is tons of good stuff buried in there. stuff that is now OOP, or harder-to-find. for locals, pick "pick up in store" for free hand-delivery & pick "check/mo" for cash/credit card upon delivery.

Best Practices' EP LP was one of last years best releases, glad to hear you're working with them.

 

thank you so much! we're super happy to be a part of this record. just to prepare you, there will be exclusive colors available strictly through us, the band, and Willow Tree....and black for stores and such. once we approve test presses we'll announce pre-order options. we'll do one for just the record with special packaging and another including a shirt option. can't wait to get this out to the world.

thanks dude!! everything's finally coming together. looks like pre-order will probably go up next week, (probably monday the 6th). still working out the details, but it looks like the options will be: TJR exclusive color or both TJR & WTR exclusive color, and you can add on a BP shirt for cheap. first 10 orders are going to come with exclusive wood burned jackets too.

Ooh, those sound great. I'll try and snag one of those along with a Restorations lp.
