Today is the day! The new Shouting Street release is finally out! I won't be selling these myself but Gruff Beard Records, No Idea Records and Chunksaah! Records will have it unless you decide to pick it up directly from one of the bands (links below). Read more about the release here.
The "El Agua" variant is sold-out and there's only a copy or two left of the "Gruff Beard Golden". Hurry up if you want one of those!
Once you have a copy, give it a listen and click your way to the new message board and let us know what you think of it. The board was set up just a few days ago and I'm hoping to get some people to join and get some discussions going.
Now that this release is finally out, I'm taking a few months off from the cassette business. I'm heading out to Central America on August 18th and will be back just before christmas. Once back, I will start working on Shout#03. I already have some cool ideas that I will share with you when I get back home.
Thanks to everyone who's been helping and supporting
me with both releases. Thanks to those who bought the first one and to all of you who are planning to buy the new tape. I hope the rest of the year treats you all well. I'm gonna start travel-planning now. Stay free!
>> THE NEW DRESS // DETOURNEMENT - THE TAPES ARE DONE!!
The tapes are finally done! I haven't seen them personally, but from what I've heard they came out great. Detournement will bring the cassette to their show with Off With Their Heads and Dear Landlord at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn next wednesday, the 23d. If you're there, make sure to pick one up! Doors open at 7.00pm.
If you can't make it out to Brooklyn, order your copy either from Gruff Beard Records or No Idea Mailorder on july 12th which is the official release date. Also, both bands will have exclusive colors to sell at shows.
The cassette will be strictly limited to 125 copies and available in no less than five different variants. You'll find the pressing info here. All tapes come with a free download of the songs. Now, hit play below and stay tuned for further updates!

>> THE NEW DRESS // DETOURNEMENT - A BRAND NEW SPLIT CASSETTE!
Expressions like "stoked!" or "psyched!" are too weak to explain how happy I am to finally announce a brand new split cassette. Like last time, I've once again teamed up with two brilliant bands and the result of it all is gonna be one hell of a sweet tape.
The New Dress from Brooklyn, New York will take care of side A bringing two previously unreleased songs, entitled "Mabel Had Her First Serious Suspicion" and "It's a Long Story", to the table. I have been listening to the band's album "Where Our Failures Are"(Red Leader) quite a lot since it came out back in 2007 and I absolutely love it. However, these two new tunes are probably the duo's best work to date. So, I'm pretty damn "stoked!" about that.
Side B will be handled by a favorite punk/hardcore outfit of mine, Detournement from New Brunswick, New Jersey. The band feature members from such greats as The Ratchets, Big Wig and Plan A Project. These guys got bite and I'm sure their new songs "Three Point Six Percent" and "A Message To You, Rudy" are going to rock your socks off. I'm pretty damn "psyched!" about that.

>> VIRGINS // OVER STARS & GUTTERS - A FEW COPIES STILL AVAILABLE
If you missed the opportunity to pick up a copy of the Virgins // Over Stars & Gutters "Split" cassette from us, there are still a few tapes out there. The last few copies are available from either Kiss Of Death Records or via Black Numbers Records. Four solid live tunes from Virgins' performance at 2008's The Fest in Gainesville, FL and two brand new exclusive songs from Oklahoma's Over Stars & Gutters. Could it get much better?
I'm really proud with how these cassettes sound and look, I mean just check out the awesome colors! The rhodamine red tapes (/25) are all long gone, but if you hurry up you might get your hands on a green one (/75). The tapes are hand-numbered and they come with a download card and free band buttons.
If you're a cheap bastard who won't spend a few lousy bucks on one of these brilliant cassettes, then send us a message and ask for a free download. We'll hook you up.
