Debut single from Oriska via NO CLEAN SINGING

On another Bandcamp Friday we still have recommendations to add to those we've made every day since the last one, including the stunning debut album by the North Dakota-based blackened post-metal band Oriska, due for release in mid-November by Mind Over Matter Records and Init Records. As a formidable sign of what it brings, we're premiering a monumental song called "Bismuth," a staggering and shattering manifestation of loss, both vast and haunting, crushing on many levels. Listen and learn more via the comment link below.

The amazing Her Head’s On Fire have dropped their third single from “Strange Desires” and that means that we have a third 7” single for you! We are continuing the theme of the single-sided record with a color-matched screen printed b-side. This one will be a beautiful purple color.

Along with the tees that sport the new logo, we also have this incredible design that was created by the amazing & we call it the ‘87 World Tour Tee. The back has every release we’ve done (up to the date as of it being designed) listed out as if they were tour dates. 🤣

This one is printed on two different blanks so you can choose the fit that you like best!

Along with our re-brand and new logo, we whipped up some new merch on a few different styles and colors! Sport one and support the coolest label with a brain in their logo! We even made hoodies for the very first time! As always, we only use the finest blanks, so these feel amazing.

Holy smokes, 25 years?!
I’ve been fortunate enough to work alongside Brett, Josh and The Juliana Theory on several projects over the lifetime of this label, and it still feels like an absolute privilege each and every time.

This time around, we get to not only do some cool TJT stuff that brings the past to the present, we get to do it with our best good friends at Unoriginal Vinyl! Additionally, we get to partner with the masters at Near Mint for what can only be described as an INSANE collaboration of excellence!

Back to the vinyl: we are helping the band produce their VIP edition variant (pictured) with some incredible little details. The jacket itself will be die cut to allow for the photos on the insert to peek through and we are going to add an alternate, screen printed cover! But - of course - there is more: the screen printed cover will also house a Polaroid photo, which you will be able to take with the band as part of the VIP experience! Each copy will be hand numbered out of 250 and the only way to get this beauty will be to catch them on the road. LNK➡️BIO

So, tell your mom you need a day off (to go to a rock show).

Happy birthday to Total Power! Sure, we missed it by a couple of days like a derelict father, but it doesn’t mean we don’t love you just the same.

From the incredible post-punk hooks to the brooding, soulful tones of Done’s vocals to the gorgeous spot gloss covers, this is such a special record. Still a few copies left in the store if you’re into rad stuff!
