Customer Highlight — Forecast

We are proud to say that this is now our second Forecast LP pressing! This self-titled LP comes courtesy of our friends at Youth Conspiracy Records.

The Forecast’s third full-length is self-titled for a reason: It is the band’s best work to date, completely defining their sound and purpose. The album fuses together the best parts of mid-’90s emo, turn of the century post-hardcore and elements of both timeless country and pop.

This special pressing is comprised of eight different extremely limited runs of different color wax —

/122 Cherry 7-Up
/83 Suicide
/26 Cream Soda
/24 Mountain Dew
/14 Diet Cherry 7-Up
/3 Mello Yello
/2 Orange Fanta
/1 Vanilla Milkshake With A Cherry On Top.

You can grab a copy of these color records (while supplies last) from Youth Conspiracy.

Customer Highlight — Estrogen Highs

Emulating the same punk rock DIY attitude and sloppy lo-fi records that helped shaped their youth, New Haven’s the Estrogen Highs crank out catchy garage rock. After a series of killer singles and full lengths on Telephone Explosion, Deadbeat, Never Heard of It and the tastily titled Milk n’ Herpes Records, Stefan, Mark, Wes, and Ross deliver their special dose of jangley controlled chaos to the Cycles EP for Safety Meeting. Taking nods from such bands as the Wipers, the Nuggets, and the Gories, they bring a “less is more” aesthetic to their song writing, hammering out infectious riffs with intense sloppy precision. Their music is honest, loud, and completely intoxicating, burrowing into the brain like a parasite.

This 300 copy limited edition LP includes a copy of the CD and hand-screen printed jackets. You can grab a copy from Safety Meeting Records, or at one of the band’s shows.

Customer Highlight — Take Offense

Take Offense, formed in 2005, is a band that hails from the Southwestern most region of the United States; Chula Vista, CA — a 5 minute travel from the Tijuana, Mexico border. After a self-released cassette tape and EP entitled Peace In Death, as well as the Happiness Under Chains EP released on Double Or Nothing Records, Take Offense are soon to be releasing a full length album entitled Tables Will Turn on Reaper Records. The record will feature a total of 10 songs — 7 of which brand new while 3 previously written songs will round out the release. With a full touring schedule planned in support of Tables Will Turn, be sure to keep attune for much more from Take Offense.

You can pre-order a copy here!
