is there anything dropping alongside scotland that i should look to bundle with it?

This is a totally valid question, but I’m going to use it as a chance to speak about the broader subject of ‘release schedules.’ 

They don’t exist. 

Vinyl pressing plants are basically clownfarms run by the Beagle Boys from Duck Tails. 

Medium sized labels in deals with retail-focused distributors set dates months and months ahead of time, because the distributors demand dates and setting them months away gives SOME hope the record will arrive. 

Small labels don’t bother setting dates. Because there’s no hope the record will arrive any time near the date they set. 

Younger bands tend to ask their labels, “when should we schedule our record release show?” And, experienced labels respond, “two months from when you get the product in your hands. Do not, under any condition, book that shit now. We won’t hit any projected release date.” 

So, to answer your specific question, we’ve got the split with Touche Amore, the Duets record, our BBC recording, our split with Holiness Church of the Valley, Jesus of Nazareth, and at least two other records. All coming out at some point in the next six months.

BUT ONLY GOD COULD TELL YOU WHEN THEY’LL ACTUALLY BE AVAILABLE.

You’re just another battle lost inside of my head. The self-respect’s nothing, the thoughts are just there. We live, we learn, we crash, we burn; And I’m still here.
