CHOIR VANDALS “AT NIGHT” 7″ VIA FITA/ 6131 RECORDS

Posted by Jamie on Aug 4, 2014 in Blog, Updates | 0 comments

CHOIR VANDALS “AT NIGHT” 7″ VIA FITA/ 6131 RECORDS

Very, very happy to announce that we will be releasing the upcoming Choir Vandals 7″ ‘At Night’ in Europe, with our friends 6131 Records handling the worldwide release! Choir Vandals put out one of my favourite EPs in recent memory last October titled ‘Darker Things’, an incredibly catchy 6 track full of sing alongs and indie-punk perfection.

‘Monsters’, a brand new song from ‘At Night’ is streaming now over at over at Wondering Sound and if you aren’t listening to it on repeat the rest of the night, you’re fucking up.

Preorders and another new track are to follow in September!

Summer Update

Posted by Jamie on Aug 4, 2013 in Blog | 0 comments

Time for an update on the year, we’ve been and remain pretty busy so if nothing else this will act as a reminder for me on what we’ve got planned!

All Ivy League TX preorders have been sent out, thanks everyone who preordered “Transparency”, it’s a fantastic record and I’m extremely proud to have a hand in releasing it. There’s still some tshirts left and copies of the album on transparent yellow, limited to 100!

- Moose Blood and Departures both recorded for their split 7″ earlier on in July and we’ve received some mixes back. So excited to get this record to press and have everyone hear it, it’s some of the best tracks from each band! For those that don’t know, we will be releasing the split in the UK/ Europe and No Sleep Records will be handling the North American version.

- Speaking of both those bands, we have sold out of the pink/ orange copies of the 2nd press of Departures “When Losing Everything Is Everything You Wanted” LP. There’s still some copies on ‘cherry cola’ coloured vinyl but not many. The green version of their 7″ “Green Turns To Red, Then Turns To Gold” also recently sold out so that’s down to the clear copies!

Everything Moose Blood related has sold out in our store; our friends Day By Day Records in Germany who we released “Moving Home” with have a few copies of the first press of that 7″ left, but a repress is in the works on two brand new colours so keep an eye out for new on that, it should be out before the end of the year.

- The Winter Passing will be touring the UK end of August/ beginning of September with Hindsights and Driveway! We will be putting out their first full length around Autumn, go see them on this tour before we make them stars of the emo universe.

- We still have one more record to announce and release before the year is up, shouldn’t be too long before it’s announced! Real excited about it, you are moshing.

Thanks to everyone who’s supported us this year, it’s been our most productive so far and I hope to continue that into 2014!

Be sure to watch these two brand new videos from Moose Blood and Ivy League TX too for “Boston” and “Void” respectively!

The Winter Passing join the FITA family!
