A quick 2024 wrap up from ETR HQ.
Its been a great year all round for Australian music. We managed to release a few records into the rock n' roll wilderness.
1. A reissue/micropressing of Chimers Generator 7" (chimers also put out a fantastic album on Poison City Records)
2. The Strike Outs album - which people seem to like for some reason...
3. A limited split single with The Dark Clouds full of Ramones tracks.
4. and Crankees killer debut album.
We also managed to wrangle a few shows around the place too. Still a highlight was putting together Grazza-fest (with our good bud Glenno) for our sorely missed mate Graham, ROCKS packing out the MoshPit Bar, all 4 of the Ramones Appreciation nights and finally, getting the Stripp back to Sydney for some totally killer rock action.
Massive thanks to everyone that bought a record, came to a show or both.
We hope 2025 is a top one for ya full of great music and good times.
See ya on the other side.

This run of Ramones shows came to a close on Saturday night in Brisbane in front of a great crowd all dancing and singing along. Massive thanks to The Dark Clouds and The Strike-Outs for being on board again but also to The Arturos and Radio Rejects for being part of our stoopid ideas. AND to all the guests that joined in and made each night special - Justan from The Grounds, Morgana from The Sugar Beats and Nitocris, Paul from the Hurricanes, Carly from Operation Ibis, Rodney from Crankees, Richie and Lenny from Tumbleweed, Carrie from The Dustys, Sean from The Owen Guns and Heli from Glycereens.
Theres a few copies of the split single we pressed for these shows leftover and are in our webstore now for anyone who missed out. https://eviltonerecords.com/product/the-dark-clouds-the-strike-outs-ramones-tribute-split-single/
Till next time.
