New Record Pressing — Colemine Records is excited to put out their first 45 with The Charities, a sweet-soul band out of sunny California. The group’s sound is a melting pot of cultures, exhibiting a mix of soul, r&b, rock, and funk. 

The A-side of this 45, ‘Fatal Attraction,’ explores just that. In some relationships, the very qualities that draw you in can also lead to your destruction. She’s captivating—beautiful, intelligent, and charming—but beneath the surface, she’s narcissistic and self-centered, with no regard for the pain she causes. When you’re lost in the intensity of love, it’s easy to overlook these darker traits. But when the time comes for her to move on, she’ll strike without hesitation, delivering a blow that cuts deep. Her words, sharp as a knife, tear through your heart with cold precision. As you bleed out, she offers nothing but a final, indifferent goodbye….

“It’s Not Our Time,” on the B, tells the story of two lovers who find themselves at a crossroads, torn apart by the struggles they face in this chapter of their lives. Perhaps in the future, they’ll rekindle their love and spark a new flame—one that burns even brighter then before. It’s a bittersweet goodbye, with the belief that the distance and time apart will only strengthen their bond when the moment is right.

The tracks are produced by Anthony Masino and were recorded at Penrose Recordings in Riverside, CA.
