Major announcement!
Greetings, Dudes! Bust out yer wallets - we’ve got 2 more new tapes lined up for June/July!
We’re welcoming back Brooklyn native Ben Seretan back to the HFTTD family. Well, he never actually left but you know what we’re sayin’. His latest, Bowl of Plums, picks up right where the self-titled debut left off with healthy amounts of expressive guitar, grand choruses and Ben's unmistakable croon. We can’t recommend this one enough. Fans should also note that the album will be self-released on vinyl through Ben’s Bandcamp. Don’t fret, we won’t be butt hurt if you grab the wax - we’re buying personal copies as well! Stream the album in its entirety here, pre-order the tape (ships 6/27-ish) and celebrate the release with Ben and his bandmates 6/24 at Shea Stadium in Brooklyn.
Sweden-via-USofA’s Mike Downey has been smashing out tune after tune under his Shy Mirrors moniker since releasing the super-limited lathe cut 12" on Thinking About the Needle 'way back’ in 2010. We’ve also had the pleasure of being associated with the project via our sister label, Big School Records. We begged Mike to participate in HFTTD and he responded with 14 tape-ready nuggets overflowing with all the right sounds - Guided By Voices meets Superchunk filtered through every great melodic pop-punk record of the past 30 years. And look at that classic artwork - hot damn! Around here we like to call these attributes ‘winning’! Get ears on the full album stream here and pre-order the tape, post-haste.
Both tapes will see runs of 100 with the first 22 copies featuring a screen-printed slipcover - bound to be indie emo oop rare on Discogs someday! Don’t forget to rock the 4for$20 deal. It’s a no-brainer with over 40 tapes to choose from! Our label sampler has been updated so grab a free download and make an informed decision on the other 2 tapes you’d like!
Couple of my favorite dudes are releasing tapes concurrently on my tape label. Grab the 4for$20 deal because yer awesome.
