The vinyl version of their debut full length is now available. It comes packaged in a gatefold LP and was pressed in a run of 500pcs. The pressing breakdown is 150pcs on Opaque Green vinyl and 350pcs on Black vinyl. You can order the record right HERE.

After recently releasing the split with Scarecrow in February, Landmine Marathon are back in the studio recording their next full length record. The title of the new album will be Rusted Eyes Awake and will hit the streets in October of 2008. You can read about the process of recording the album along with some accompanying video footage and studio pics on their website. Check it all out HERE.

The brand new Transistor Transistor full length is out today. Hopefully it is available in your local store. If not, you can order it directly from our mailorder site, and several other mailorder spots. The LP will be ready by June 24th. Thanks!

The new record from Tranny is all set and ready to go on CD format on 5/13. You can pre-order the CD now at 2 different places: LP Mailorder or Here (Relapse) or Here (RevHQ). All will be shipping right away. The LP is in production now and will come in a gatefold jacket with an initial press of 150 on Gold and 350 on Black. The LP will be available by the time they hit the road for Dudefest. I am going to offer a shirt design with the pre-order as well. So check out the LP mailorder if you are interested in picking this up. The record absolutely kills it!

There are 3 new titles out now and available. The 3rd full length from Sinaloa, Oceans of Islands, has been available since April 1st. The band recently completed a trek of Europe with fellow MA rockers, Daniel Striped Tiger.

The debut full length from Japanese noise-merchants, Birushanah, is also done and ready to go. They devastated the west coast of the US in February on tour with Drain the Sky. Akai Yama is a dense and over powering work that is truly unique and destructive.

The CD version of the debut Tombs' EP is also out now and ready for mailorder. 7 tracks of anguish and despair like only Mike Hill can convey. The demos for their upcoming full length are unreal and the record seems to be shaping up into a monster.

All 3 of these titles are readily available from our mailorder.

Bloody Panda is providing music for a very special opening night
celebration for the masterful visual artist Dirk Bell. We'll be kicking
off the night with a short set and perhaps murmuring ambient
soundscapes thereafter. Dirk's work is truly special. We are proud to have been given this opportunity. Look forward to a very rare Bloody Panda set, lots of new material as well as moments of improv.

Peoples, I have decided to put the msg board back up again. I was actually inspired by 2 things: the loss of the internets fav. msg board and another labels site and the nice atmosphere where people talked about like minded music and gave him feedback on his releases. So, you can peep it here.

Candidates should be over 18, willing to be in a full-time band, and "hard hitting." Send an email to mikotomusic@gmail.com to inquire.

I have posted a video done for the track A LITERAL TITLE from ADIBAW's deubt LP, Notes. The video was shot back in October and edited over the last few months by some friends of the band at Waverly Films. I think the video came out pretty badass. You can check it out RIGHT HERE.

And if you never got the chance to check it out when we initially posted it several months ago, you can also check out the video for the song WITNESS from The One AM Radio's album A Name Writ in Water RIGHT HERE.

Unfortunately we've had some bad luck and our drummer is fucked up right now and we're going to have to cancel.

Last night while we were loading out of our space, Greg slipped while loading out my bass cab. None of us thought much of it, but this morning he can barely move and obviously playing drums is out of the question.

I'm really fucking bummed. I've been friends with Gibby forever and I was really looking forward to playing this and also to playing in Boston again. I hate cancelling shows, especially so last minute like this.

Obviously all the other bands are playing, so you're an idiot if us not playing in any way shape or form influences you from going to this show.

To Boston Hype, Panic, MLIW, Colin of Arabia, Shanghai Valentine, Killer Fiction and anyone in Boston who is going to the show: I'm bummed, We were really looking forward to this. Thanks for setting this up, and I'm sorry we had to do this.

Back in October when NoA hit the road for the first time in a few years, they also recorded a live set for a Canadian program in Montreal. They currently have a live video up now of 1 song, and will soon have 3 mp3s available from the session. Check it out HERE

On December 1st, A Day in Black & White will be the Band of the Day on Spin.com. Go to the site on 12/1 and check it out. They will be streaming a track from the new album Notes in their podcast. I am not really sure what that is, but it sounds really high tech.

The debut EP from Mikoto is just about done and ready to go. The vinyl has come in and looks fantastic. 150 were done on a split blue/grey that really fits well with the artwork. The CDs should be in anyday now. I am really excited to see how they came out.

North of America's fantastic 3rd full length is finally repressed and available after being out of print for over a year and a half. This repress comes on the eve of their upcoming tour with Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. I love this album and it is one of my all-time favorite l-p releases. Criminally underrated and underappreciated. I am so stoked to have this back out there and available again.

Because this CD is newly available, I am offering a special on Brothers, Sisters and their earlier EP, The Sepultura. Normally both would cost $12.98, but I am offering them both for $9.99 through the length of their tour (October 15th).

As the street date for the new A Day in Black & White - Notes LP/CD nears, I have put up an mp3 from the new album. Check out New Energy. Absolutely killer way to start off an album. You can also head over to the bands myspace to sample a second track from the album, A Lilteral Title.

Hot Cross spent the past weekend in NYC demoing new songs with Mike Hill of Anodyne. These are rough demos, but came out great. You can check out a a new song called Existence at their myspace page as well.

I am really stoked to announce that southern California's Mikoto will be releasing their debut EP with us in late fall. They feature dudes from Taken and Preacher Gone to Texas. These 5 tracks will surely kick ass. Be on the lookout for tour dates and other info as it comes in. Thanks.

We have finally completed the video for the song "Witness" from A Name Writ In Water. It looks fantastic and shows what a great gamesman Hrishi truly is. Check out the video here.

Our buddies over at Manic Ride launched a new mailorder website called Buy Crime this past April. They are holding a giveaway for the new Gospel - The Moon is a Dead World CD to get this record into the hands of more people. You can also get some other new LP releases as well. Check out the giveaway here.

The new Coliseum - Goddamage EP is out now on Manic Ride records. I finally got some in for mailorder, so do yourself a favor and check this out asap. The 12" version will hopefully be done soon as well. Killer artwork and a much more powerful recording then on their debut record.

ADIBAW has entered Godcity studios this week to begin recording their debut full length. We are shooting for an October release date once all of the aspects of the record are wrapped up.

If anyone has sent me email from 05/05 - 05/06, please resend it. I most likely did not get it since my server was not functioning right. Thanks.

There is a new Transistor Transistor interview up on rise&revolt.com. You can check that out here.

I am back from the Melt Banana tour. It was an amazing time. It was incredible to see Breather Resist and Melt Banana each night. All mailorder will be processed and shipped by Wednesday. No more tours for a long time. Thanks.

There is an interview about the label done by the fine people at rise & revolt.com. You can check out the interview here
