Remember That One Time I Vowed To Keep This Thing Updated Regularly?

Well, that was before Tiny Engines’ mail order decided that I had entirely too much free time on my hands ( I don’t, fyi ) and consequently kicked me in the arse with a giant, pointy boot otherwise known as “pre-orders.”

With that said, allow me to thank all the good folks who snagged copies of the Everyone Everywhere and Castevet LPs.  The response and support has been absolutely incredible.  Seriously, Will, Jeff and I knew that these were awesome records, but in general, you’re never quite sure how people are going to react to an unproven quantity … especially when you’re dealing with smaller DIY punk outfits.

Regardless, we believe in all the bands on the roster and it’s great to see that you do as well. I will happily get slapped around by mail order any day if it means that you guys are giving the music a shot and keeping this label moving in the right direction.

So obviously the last few months have been really busy, and they’ll probably stay that way through the end of the year as we’re about to get started on the Tigers Jaw / Spirit Desire repress, followed by a 7″ from a brand new band that we’re really stoked on.  Plenty of additional shenanigans forthcoming as well, including Castevet and Everyone Everywhere test pressings for sale and lots of positive coverage of both bands in the media. Hell, you may even see some distro items available in TE mail order as almost all our bands have upcoming releases scheduled with other labels. Don’t quote me on that one, but we’ve been thinking about it …

In any case, I wanted to leave you with some dates for a short Midwestern tour that Castevet will be embarking on beginning, well … yesterday. Like I said, I’ve been busy.  Regardless, the band doesn’t get out all that much so if you’re anywhere near these gigs, get yr ass out of the house and show your support!
