Cathedral Bells just did an audiotree session check it out!!

If you’re like me you would spend hours watching bands you loved doing an audiotree! What would they play live, do they sound good live? Always gave a fun insight on a band, with high quality sound. I discovered a bunch of bands through here and hopefully more of you discover this one! Some of the best sessions audiotree brings!

Go see Cathedral Bells on tour this week!

Orlando's Cathedral Bells invites you to explore their distinctive sonic landscape bursting with elements of shoegaze, bedroom pop, and post-punk. The perfec...

We present to you the almighty,
St. Christopher.
Fronted by singer/songwriter/guitarist Glenn Melia, the band has been going strong since the 80’s. We decided to bring you songs from throughout the catalog,some for the very first time on vinyl. Another Sarah alumni to add to our roster. It’s honesty such a privilege to do this. I was fortunate enough to see them live a couple years back and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. What more can I say really, you know the band, you love them as much as I do. These songs speak to us at another level, I’m sure of it! Spring 2024 these are looking like to be in hand!

Side A:

Forevermore Starts Here (1987)
Go Ahead, Cry (1986)
All of a Tremble (1989)
Kerrie (2000)
Cathedral High (1991)
It's Snowing On The Moon (1991)
Almost December (1990)

Side B:

Young Nun (1995)
Utopian (1996)
Burnout (2008)
Dive (1995)

This FRIDAY! 11.17.2023
Pre order starts! I’m getting a bunch of records in hand in December/January. So it’s time for a new one! This will be my last pre order because it’s also frustrating for me to wait on records and constantly update and still have everyone ask where’s my record lol. so I’m getting away from all that for good. THESE DIRECTLY SUPPORT THE BAND. All the money goes to making sure the band has their own pressing and them getting paid I literally just pay production cost and the rest goes to the band so really you’re helping the band! That’s why the support means so much and the prices are a bit high due to the variants I get! be ready on Friday! 125 copies only. The 25 copies for lovejoy took over 6 hours to sell so no complaints this time around if you don’t get one! Just be there 10am PST to secure a copy! Thank you everyone for your support once these sell the turnaround is looking like 4 months probably 5 since holidays plants kinda take a month off lol
Thanks any questions message me or on instragram it’s easier than emails

Update!

There will be an in hand drop next month! Keep an eye out!

Everything else is looking like December/January! Usually holidays kinda slow things down but also don’t really want to send so many records out since there’s more of a chance of them getting lost!

Snowbirds confirmed for early December so get your orders in they are really low in stock!

Less than 20 of these sweetest ache variants remain! So get on that!

Next pre order will be next month and that’ll be it for pre orders for a while, been really busy lately and can’t really keep up with everything. So going to slow things down. in all honesty vinyl isn’t doing so hot right now so it’s been more of a financial burden to keep releasing especially since we try to give bands their own pressings, which is possible but not at this rate! Hopefully there’s a resurgence again! 👀

Thanks for the support as always, this is as diy as it gets. Just releasing things we love. I’m also waiting for these records as well huge fan just like everyone else!

So please consider picking up a record, anything helps and keeps us going.

Hope there’s some st Christopher fans out there! See ya soon!

The hermit crabs saw you dancing in hand now!

Such a beauty of a set. Unreal how these turned out! As we are approaching the end of summer, This is my go to album of the fall. Reminds me of the heartbreaking feeling that I won’t always fit in, but this record makes that okay. To find others that realize the beauty in these songs and the genre is one of the worlds better signs to signify that it isn’t all that bad. Very happy to share this record with all of you! Huge thank you to Mel for being so kind and excited throughout the whole process. Thanks to matinee records for all the help with the files. Thank you to all of you for picking one up and making this possible. The best feeling in the world is when these records are in hand. Giddy as I try to collect myself!

These are available and will begin shipping asap! ❤️

08/20/2023

The other variant is now sold out!

These are halfway gone! thank you all so much!

The last couple of pre orders will all come around the same time so try to bundle up if you want to save on shipping.

Unreal the way these last drops have been going. Really just excited about the way things are going especially with such a niche drop like this. You never know how things are going to go but at the end of the day putting out music we love is the most important! 🥰

Thanks for everyone’s support!

Will post the hermit crabs records once they are in hand next week!!! See you then!?!

Another drop in September or should we slow it down? 🤔

All the support matters so we can do more niche stuff like this!

Thanks for all the interest in this release so far! Charlotte loves all the kind words you all have. 🙂

Let’s keep things rolling!

"Snowbirds Don't Fly" Inspired by The Pastels, the various bands of Amelia Fletcher, and those Razorcuts, the Snowbirds were born from Cardiff University students Charlotte and Matt. This self-described "cutie" outfit melded C86, frenetic guitar buzz pop and boy/girl vocals in the attempt to perfect the "60's jangly sound."

From 1990-1996, the group supplied several tracks to various flexi/tape labels of the day. Today, these releases are almost impossible to locate. Loving curated by Charlotte, "Beautiful Morning" features 17 hand-picked selections from the 1991 "Beautiful Dreamers" cassette, the "Motorcycle Baby" flexi, a split 7" with Les Poissons Solubles, CD/tape comp tracks and unreleased nuggets that have just seen the light of day.

This A to Z retrospective also includes never-seen-before photographs, lyrics and front/back cover art endorsed by the band. Snowbirds "Beautiful Morning" LP arrives in a choice of three vinyl colors and select UK/EU copies will be signed by Charlotte and shipped from her location.

Pre-Orders will begin Friday, August 18th and is a one-time pressing.

10am pacific standard time.

Thanks for all the continued support recently!!
All you returning buyers, I see you and couldn’t be more grateful 💕

been really wanting to up our game with vinyl variants! What did you think of those cathedral bells invisible variants?!?

The hermit crabs is on queue to be pressed! Everything else most likely this year!

Got some big ones coming along. I’m really hoping with the next couple of pre orders I can switch to in hand drops! I already have like 2 in hand drops for early next year! All the money I have goes to this and is all diy! I know I’ve been saying that but the support on the drops recently have really helped more than you know.

Best way to keep up with what we are doing is on Instagram


What bands are you hoping to see!?!?

Should I run a raffle for some special variants I held back or put them up on the site?

Thanks! More releases very very soon! 🖤

07/22/2023

Thank you for selling the other variant out! I can only do this as long as you support this so everything helps keeps things running in the small market of indie pop gems, been seeing a lot of fellow labels call it or move to tapes and cds but I really really want to stay vinyl only because it’s the format I truly love. Big things coming soon! 2xlp 30th anniversary set??? You bet!! Trying to do more for all of you and get more crazy variants which we will do! Thanks again everyone! 🖤 support indie pop at its purest!!!!

Songs in the key of Lovejoy! for the first and only time on vinyl! limited to 100 copies no repress

July 21st 2023 10am PT

There was a time in my life where I would scour the internet looking for any indie pop I could get my hands on. I started off with what I knew and asked myself where did all the Sarah bands go or were they in any other projects? How far did the genre evolve?!? It led me to this gem, I felt as if I was in another world, also knowing members of blueboy were involved I knew this had to be a master class on songwriting and what the genre could be. Very ecstatic about bringing this to eternal life in the form of vinyl. Upon first listen the elegance in the strums made my heart flutter, I knew this was special. I don’t think I’ve ever been immersed in a song as much as Penelope london, to me such a cinematic experience, great storytelling throughout all these songs really. We can’t wait to share this all with you. It’s been such a ride getting this together has been the biggest delight to work with, also a main supporter to the label since day one. Special thanks to matinee records for bringing all these songs to you first and sharing the files.
No more long pre order waits so I imagine these will be in this year.
Thanks you all for the continued support and not letting indie pop die!

125 copies

25 (vinyl in the key of… lovejoy!)

most of cathedral bells has shipped it’s been great seeing them arrive to you! 🙂 Waiting on mailers so the rest will be shipped by next week after the holiday. Thank you for your patience! Still plenty of copies left online. Your support means a lot. The hermit crabs test presses are in and should be on press soonish! The sweetest ache is being approved with final art! it’s all hurry up and wait, I know! but really it means a lot to the bands! With your purchased copies of cathedral bells they got their own exclusive variant to sell on their tour so most importantly we try to help the bands and our love of music. 🖤💕

ETHER by Cathedral Bells is in hand!!! It’s been such a journey and I’d like to thank all of you for your patience on these. Without all of you, none of this would be possible so it’s really appreciated on all ends 🖤 it’s all for you!

I first heard cathedral bells when invisible came up randomly on Spotify. I was hooked from the start, I was getting bored of new music honestly, nothing struck me the way the band did upon first listen. The whole car ride, I played the album on repeat and fell in love. It’s really special when you get that feeling so I knew I needed to press this. I reached out and now here we are. Matt has been such a pleasure to work with and I consider him a dear friend so please support the band by catching them on tour and getting all their records!!! it’s beyond imagination the way this set turned out. Thank you all for the continued support I can’t stress enough how much it means. This is all diy and we do our best to support our bands! I really hope you all enjoy these records and they strike you the way they should, on a format we all obsess with. 💕 truly
