December 23rd = DIE PRINCESS DIE 'Discography' cassette: We've been in love with this band for two decades, so getting to make this discography cassette with new art of our favourite sassy, drunken, danceable post-punk/post-hardcore/emo/experimental/rock band feels like a blessing.

December 27th = GREENBLUEGREY + BLACK NAILS / SHARP TEETH 'Split' cassette: The second split from these projects has them dropping in with a whopping 9 tracks each...totaling just over 20 minutes, so you know these absolutely blast through with extreme violence. Pressing on 40 cassettes. For fans of: Fallingwithscissors and thecheeseburgerpicnic.
Tomb Tree made 60 tapes for the Fingerswoventogether ‘3 song demo’ and it’s fantastic, but for a demo it reigns supreme! This sucker releases tomorrow, November 15th @9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST on swirl, random opaqaue, and bright blue.
NAEDR ‘Past is Prologue‘ 12” Dog Knights edition

An astounding debut full length by Singapore’s NAEDR (member of Bethari).

Envy/Love was the subject of a Youtube video from a channel I’d never seen before. They discuss it and play two tracks, and if you need it in English you can auto-generate subtitles. We started with 333 copies and we’re down to our last 30 now!
Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: DRIVEYOURPLOWOVERTHEBONESOFTHEDEAD = My friends over here in Vancouver just released the best emo-violence record of 2024, hands down.
