NEWS/DISTRO (FEB 25)

There is news!

The Antilles test presses have been received and approved! Word from the pressing plant is that the white vinyl has all been pressed and the black may already be done as well. All we need is a few more pieces of the art puzzle, and this thing should be ready to go. Hopefully these should be ready for the Towers show next Saturday, so come out and snag one. If they don't make it in time, you can just buy more stuff from Towers.

On the bummer side of things, the Straight, No Chaser master (as well as the art) got lost in the mail. Tests were supposed to be ready for SNC's east coast tour in a couple of weeks, but USPS fucked that all up. These should be sent off to the plant soon, so expect to see them in early April. Fuck.

Back on the upside, ATF-003 and -004 have been officially announced!

I'm stoked to be doing Maladie's full-length on tape for ATF's third release. I received the masters recently and this album is fucking SOLID. Maladie rules and this tape should look and sound awesome. This will be a CS-30 and probably be limited to 100 copies. I'd imagine this will be done in late March or early April.

I'm also way excited to be working with Romance of Young Tigers for the fourth release. This one's going to be a live CD-R from their upcoming show at Howard's. Seth gave me the word that they will be playing some new stuff from the album that's due out this Summer. Romance is a great fucking band, and they're truly something to behold live. This one will probably be limited to 150 copies.

Here's what I've got in the distro thus far, too:
