Cloud Mouth's "Keep Well" have started shipping. Much thanks to everyone who preordered the record. It's good to see some love for these boneheads. Preorders for the Antilles 12" are up now in the webstore, and The World Is... tapes are around the corner. Both should be available by January, tapes by February at the latest (fingers crossed). I'm also really stoked to announce that I'll be sending off on the 7" version of Glocca Morra's "Ghoul Intentions" EP. Twenty seconds into this record I fell in love and had to release it. Think, if Cursive wrote "Pinkerton." Noisy, ugly, but the catchiest of punk. It's one of my favorite releases and the GM dudes are awesome. Except for Arik, he thinks that Billy Joel is better than The Boss. What? Pre-order info for the 7" will be available shortly, but I'm expecting them to be available some time in February. I've just got to finish up some artwork stuff. Lastly, check out Summer Vacation's LP, "Condition," coming soon on Recess Records. It's the best album of the year, and probably next year. CDs available from Lauren Records and tapes coming soon from Keep It Together. Smoke Cops Kill Weed.

Cloud Mouth records arrived this week. Thanks to everyone who has preordered the record already, and much thanks to everyone who showed their support for them at their last show. Good riddance, jerks. We just have to print the jackets and assemble all the records and they'll be good to go. We're anticipating having everything done by November 27, and preorders shipping on or around then. If you haven't ordered a copy yet, head over to the webstore and do just that. Antilles records should be off to the plant around the beginning of next month, and The World Is... tapes as well. Some more cool stuff will be going on. Info on that when there's more of it.

So I've been fallen very, very behind on everything. First, I created a facebook page which is much easier to update and for people to keep track of, so if you're into that sort of thing you can find it here. Second, and more importantly, there is a new webstore up. My roommate Harrison, who runs Kid Sister Everything, and I have finally gotten around to inventorying and putting our collective distro up on the internet alongside all of our releases. Check that out here and give us all of you rmoney. Lastly, and much more importantly, the new Cloud Mouth record, Keep Well, is up for preorder. It's also up for stream and download. Preorder here, download here. Those idiots are out in Southeast Asia right now, and when they come back they're breaking up. Their last show is October 22nd in Chicago. Info on that can be found here. So, that's that for now. All other releases will be coming around shortly, hopefully, as soon as I get my pitiful act together. And almost all Ice Age releases are on sale in the webstore.

The Mind Yr P's & Q's second press is now out of stock, but will at some point be back in print. The World Is... "Josh Is Dead" tapes will still be happening at some point, rest assured. I'm also excited to announce that I will be working with Allergic to Fun to repress Antilles' self-titled 12" EP hopefully in the fall. Also, even more exciting is that I will be working with Kid Sister Everything and Adagio 830 to release Cloud Mouth's "Keep Well" 10", that should be available by mid-October. More information on both of those releases should be available within the next month. Also, the Parrhesia 7"s have been dropped down to $4 plus shipping, so head over to the mailorder page and get that garbage out of my site.

3.23.11
The Please & Thank Yous Mind Yr P's & Q's cassettes are back in stock and looking better than ever! They're also cheaper than before. Sorry to everyone who got the first press, but this press looks 100 times better than the original. I'm still working on the TWIABPAIANLATD tape, but it shouldn't be too much longer until that's ready. Head over to the mailorder section to pick up a TPATY tape!!

I'm super psyched to announce that HeWhoCorrupts Inc. has digitally released Cloud Mouth's The Ghost Is Always With Me! It's available for $5 on HWC Inc.'s bandcamp page, and 50% of each download go to benefit Chicago Hopes charity. From HWC Inc.: "HWC Inc has released the digital version of “That Ghost is Always With Me” with half of each sale going to CHICAGO HOPES - the cause Cloud Mouth has selected to benefit from this release. Chicago Hopes is an initiative within Chicago Public Schools which empowers students to succeed academically despite the challenges of homelessness. The release is currently available through BANDCAMP for $5. The release will soon be available on ITUNES, NAPSTER, and AMAZON." This whole project has been awesome, and I'm super stoked to be fortunate enough to work with HeWhoCorrupts Inc. who have been contributing to the Chicago DIY community since before I knew one existed. Check them out and support everything they do.

2.18.11
I updated the mailorder section to make ordering a little bit easier. I'll be releasing a new cassette from Connecticut's The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die in March. Topshelf Records is holding preorders for the 7" version of the tape, Josh is Dead. I'll have more information about the tape including putting it up for download as soon as I get organized. A repress of The Please & Thank You's Mind Yr P's & Q's is on its way, too. Native tapes and Cloud Mouth/Cougar Den 7"s are all gone. RIP.

OKAY! The Cloud Mouth 12"s are FINALLY HERE!!! They are fucking beautiful, and I am so happy to have this record finished (FINALLY). Unfortunately, since they just arrived and I will be leaving in a handful of hours for tour with Cloud Mouth, I won't be able to send out the preorders unil the second week of December. Sorry! Additionally, Cloud Mouth and I would like to extend a "Thank You" to Keith and Count Your Lucky Stars records for helping out with this 12". Be sure to check out their catalo. They've released some great records by some great bands (most recently the Reptilian's "Full Health" 10" and Joie De Vivre's "The North End" 2xLP!).
More news...Boilerman's "Bright Young Things" EP has been released on CD by Traffic Street Records! Another awesome label putting out awesome music.
Anyway, mailorder will be put on hold until the second week of December, so if you send me an e-mail I won't respond. Sorry! Be sure to come out and see Cloud Mouth on their Fall Tour and pick up their 12". Dnd check out the Kid/Age Distro!

Tupac. I had been feeling like a new layout was in order for a while and it's finally here. I think everything is very much improved now.
Boilerman's "Bright Young Things" 7" is available now. 100 on Seafoam Green vinyl and 400 on White. Record is fucking great. Check it out here.
Cloud Mouth's 12", "That Ghost Is Always With Me," is still at the plant. We're working on finishing this thing off as soon as we can, but it's looking like an October release now. Sorry to everyone who preordered it, but rest assured it will come and it will be worth the wait.
Additionally, all of our releases are available for stream and most are available for download on our brand new bandcamp page. Shit's off the hook. All downloadable releases are available for free, but you're welcome to donate if you'd like. Additionally, all downloads come with hi-res scans of all physical attributes that would accompany owning the actual release. Check it, spread it.
Native tapes & Cloud Mouth/Cougar Den 7"s are running low, and The Please & Thank Yous and Torrential Downpour/Parrhesia tapes are all gone. Expect a repress of the Please & Thank Yous' tape in the future, but nothing else. Contigo tapes are still coming, don't fear (the reaper).

05.23.10
The new 12" Cloud Mouth EP, That Ghost Is Always With Me, is now available for preorder. This record is so insanely great. Seriously, if you liked Cloud Mouth before you are going to die when you hear these tracks. The band has grown so much and these songs really show it. There are 50 preorder packages that give you a 12" EP and a copy of Cloud Mouth's self-released Live 7", which you can preorder here. The EP will drop in July, and Cloud Mouth will be hitting the road wicked hard, so keep an eye or two out.

03.28.10
Alright, well, I'm not getting any better at this. Sweet Talk & Contigo tapes should have been out by now, but neither of them are. I ran into a plethora of issues with the Contigo tapes, but everything is figured out now. Those are gonna be coming out in May, hopefully. I'm really bad with time management. Sweet Talk tapes are on their way, though. They'll be available April 9; the first day of their tour with Boilerman. More info on that at Sweet Talk's tumblr page. Also, you can download the Bed cassette & two tracks that will be released later in the year on their bandcamp,
There's lots of shit going down. Expect more news in the coming months.

02.09.10
One: New website! I hope this makes everything easier for everybody.
Two: Mike C is now a part of Ice Age. Direct all Hatebreed inquiries to him (sick of that joke yet? Me neither).
Three: The Please & Thank Yous' Mind Your P's & Q's Cassette is coming February 14! It's finally fucking here! Shit is so good. Hop over to the mailorder page and pick that shit up.
Four: Sweet Talk's Bed Cassette will be coming in March or April. We'll see. It all depends on when we can get our shit together to record those stupid songs.
Five: CLOUD MOUTH! FUCKING CLOUD MOUTH! Zach just left for Turkey (YEAH FUCKING TURKEY!), and will be gone until June. But! Before Zach left he laid down tracks for a new EP that will be released when they get back. ON VINYL! Gasp! It's going to be fucking awesome, and we are both super excited to get that out. It's obviously a long ways away, but I figured I'd let everyone know about it. Seriously, so awesome. These tracks are so good.
Six: Castevet tapes are all out, and Parrhesia Demo tapes are temporarily out of stock. I'm all out of White and Clear Cloud Mouth/Cougar Den Split 7"s. Torrential Downpour/Parrhesia Split tapes are running low, though I'm sure you don't care. The Contio tapes will be coming in March...hopefully. I feel like such a jackass pushing those back all the time. And Native tapes are still here & still HOT! Check Wrestling Moves out if you haven't. The record is so good.

11.22.09
Alrighty, Cloud Mouth/Cougar Den 7"s are out and available for everyone! Yay! Coming in December will be Native's debut full-length Wrestling Moves and the tape version of Castevet's Big Scary Monster debut, The Echo And The Light. Awesome!!!

11.14.09
So today marks 365 days after my first release. I can't believe how far this shitty "label" has come, so thanks to everyone who has supported it. Thanks to all the bands who have wanted anything to do with me, whether or not their releases are out yet. The Cloud Mouth release show went spectacular. Thanks to everyone who came out to that, and thanks to Matt and John for working their asses off to make that spot as awesome as it is. Anywho, mailorder will be down til the 25th 'cause I'm going to be out of town til then. So...if you order anything, please be patient. Thanks.

10.26.09
Some more unfortunate news...the Native tapes are going to have to be pushed back to December because of some more money issues. But! The Cloud Mouth/Cougar Den Splits are coming out in two weeks! The layout is looking awesome, we just have to get it all printed up and put together. The release show is going to be unreal. November 13 at the HBHQ in Chicago, IL with Castevet, Harps of Tartarus, Proles, and 1 more TBA. Message Cloud Mouth for more info on that.
