Happy New Year and welcome to the new Hidden Home Records newsletter.
Some of you may know that we’ve had an on-and-off monthly newsletter for the last few years that you could sign up for on our website. I (Rob) am definitely grateful that so many people signed up in our early days, but at this point, it doesn’t serve the vision we currently have for this label.
So we’ve decided to take a cue from several other notable peers and make a substack. You can subscribe and it will show up in your inbox every week, but you can also read the posts at hiddenhomerecords.substack.com.
This will not be Hidden Home-exclusive, and submissions are open to all subscribers! Instead of trying to invite people into our inner circle, we hope this will do more to contribute to the greater DIY/punk community we’re a part of. We want this to be your newsletter as much as it is ours. To submit ideas and get involved, please subscribe and we’ll send you the link to the Hidden Home Records Discord server.
(Note: If you haven’t used Discord before, no worries! It’s really easy to use).
But wait - that’s not all! For a couple of years now, we’ve been trying to put together a zine. Physical, made of paper, etc. I’m happy to say that’s finally coming to fruition! The Hidden Home zine is going to reflect the newsletter, but also include more art, poetry, photography, and other projects people want to contribute. For the record, these WILL go out with orders and if we accept your submissions, people WILL see your work.
If you’d like to contribute to our zine, please subscribe and (again), we’ll send you the link to the Hidden Home Records Discord server.
Newsletters are going out every Friday, and Zines will go out quarterly. Subscribe to the newsletter here.
Of course, we will still highlight HHR bands and use these platforms to promote our releases (we are a label after all). Which leads me to an exciting announcement - “BANNED IN TINDER” BY (THE REAL) PROBLEM DOG IS OUT TODAY FOR PAY-WHAT-YOU-WANT ON BANDCAMP!
While not an official HHR release, (The Real) Problem Dog features members myself and members of Whippin Shitties, Young, Planetary, Carry on, Kid, and SKiTTiSH iTZ and is very tied to our family here. Again, you can download the songs for free on Bandcamp, but if you’d like a tape just venmo me $3 for shipping @Rob-Lanterman and we’ll get those to you.
Mike, Charlie, and I are really excited for what this year holds. We love everyone who’s followed us so far and invite you to be a part of it with us.
Happy New Year, stay safe!
(As always, check out our official HHR releases on Bandcamp and get merch on Storenvy).
