THANK YOU to the amazing Jack Rabid, punk rock legend and longtime publisher of The Big Takeover. Jack has always been a big supporter of Dromedary, but his 2024 "Best Of" list has TWO Dromedary releases! Congrats to Matt Hunter & the Dusty Fates, who came in at #49 with "Reindeer Soul," and Cathedral Ceilings, at #67 with "La La La...Whatever." You can still get both titles at our website, or at cool indie stores near you. Thanks !

Thank you to Jim Testa and Off Shelf for recognizing the Cathedral Ceilings "La La La...Whatever" LP in their top releases of 2024. It is always an honor to have a record recognized in this way, especially when it comes from someone with a punk rock pedigree as great as Jim's. And if you haven't picked up a copy yet, don't worry, they haven't gone stale - visit our website and pick one up, it's still fresh!

Today is sort of a weird day. On one hand it commemorates the beginnings of a genocide and celebrates gluttony. On the other hand, it is important to take a step back and examine life, and remember those things that are important, for which we're thankful, and that's what I'm choosing to do today. Dromedary has always been a tiny label that I do out of love, with no goal of doing anything other than making friends and turning some people on to new music. I am SO thankful for it - especially over the last few years, where it's brought so many people together and where it's been so much fun. And I've made so many new friends that I know will be friends for life! That's important, no matter how old you get. So I'm so super thankful to everyone who's been a part of Dromedary over the past few years - playing our shows, releasing records on the label, enjoying the shows and music we put out, or helping us facilitate this ridiculous thing we all do together. Anyway, here's a song we put out by the excellent Positive No a few years ago. Happy Thanksgiving!

from the album Teenage Waistline

Life goes on, so we wanted to thank Cherrylle Urbano at for the thoughtful review of Overheard's "Time on a Good Day." Cherrylle says "Time on a Good Day by Overheard reaches deep into my soul, drawing me into a mesmerizing state of mind, body, and spirit." And don't we need that?

Ever had one of those dreams where you’re running in place, trying to escape something you’re not entirely sure of, but know the inevitable will sink you down, so you’d rather not know and just try to run away? This beautifully haunting song, “Time On A Good Day,” by Overhead reaches deep ...

Contratulations to OVERHEARD on the release of “Intertwined,” their debut album!

We’ve watched this album blossom from a very first discussion at Rough Draft Bar & Books about what releasing an album together would look like, to future meetups and planning chats at Camp Kingston and Tubby's Kingston, as things began to crystallize. We're so fortunate to have no shortage of welcoming spaces in Kingston for artists to collaborate and plan (and drink beer or coffee), and it felt like along the way, we took advantage of all of them. Now it’s finally time to share it. We couldn’t be more proud to have our logo tagged on the back of this beautiful piece of art.

We hope you’ll take a few minutes to give it a listen by visiting the Bandcamp link in our bio or the soulless streaming platform of your choice. The record is available on CD and vinyl (soon, at least) at finer indie record stores, and also at all the usual download sites.

Formal thanks to Dylan Nowik for excellent production, Amar Lal for mastering, Allie Young for performing on the record, Becky Cote for the photography, and Grace Moore for art. All wonderful, it's a pleasure to be in all your orbits.

"These rock 'n' roll lifers have credits as long as your arm and a seemingly endless array of chunky riffs that they pile into terse, frantic, imaginative three minute miracles, every one on point and memorable." Thanks to , godfather of Jersey punk, for this great review of ' "La La La...Whatever" and thanks to for publishing it. This is a great fu**in' review. Jim is the first person who ever wrote anything about Dromedary Records, and we love him dearly.

Adding Kenny Thomas on bass, the trio spent its early days riding out the pandemic. They held rehearsals outdoors, playing at least s...
