NEWS08/12/09I am almost out of records! I sent some copies to other distros and I'll update the website once they're available for sale from them. In the meantime, you can still buy copies of the record from me. Also, I've been told that for some odd reason, a few of the tour-copies of the LP came without their inserts. I don't have any access to a scanner so one of the four inserts that you should have got with your record is still missing but I just uploaded the lyrics inserts and the band credits for anyone who wants to print their own. Click HERE to download the zip file that contains the inserts. If you encounter any problem with that, please get in touch and I'll do my best to help you out. Sorry about that and again, thank you so much for ordering the record and supporting the band. 16/11/09 In addition to the distros aforementioned, copies of the record will be available from the following distros and stores very soon (their packages are on the way) so check them out: A big thanks to them and everyone who ordered a record these past two weeks. 04/11/09 The record is officially available now! I am still figuring out which distros will be carrying the repress of the LP but I can already that say these ones are getting copies for sure: Thank you very much! 22/10/09 Holy hell! More than a year went by since the last update! So, the actual news... I moved from the beautiful and warm South of France to the rainy and cold North of England. I am not a student anymore, I don't get any money from my scholarships, I can't go to bed at 4 AM and wake up just before lunchtime, that lifestyle is behind me (not entirely by choice though...) I am now self-employed and have to work my arse off to make things happen, I go to bed before 12 AM, I have more than two bank accounts, I'm pretty much turning into a proper grown-up and it makes things label-related go a bit slower than I'd like. I'm definitely not growing out of punk or DIY though! The edge's still strong, my love for veganism still burning and I'm still itching for releasing many more things with the label! This is why I'm proud to announce a second release (that is not really one) as I just got the Algernon Cadwallader LP repressed for the band's European tour. It should have been released a little while ago already but we encountered our fair share of unexpected problems creating the usual delays, blahblahblah... Anyway, what matters is that the record's been out for the band's tour (you may have noticed it on their merch table if you went to their gigs) and that more copies will be available from me and will more than likely also be available from most of the usual suspects (whose list I'll post as soon as things get worked out) extremely soon. I consider this repress as a proper new release as it has been pressed in Europe (unlike the first press that got pressed in the US), it benefited from a brand new mastering (and you can hear the difference) and the art is entirely different from the first European pressing's. More info about this in the Releases section once I update it (sometime this week.) Anyway, needless to say that I'm PUMPED as I think this record is seriously dead good and that a Euro repress was definitely necessary. Ok, it's getting late now and my newly grown-up self has some serious grown-up things to do right now (basically going to bed as it's getting pretty late.) Thanks for reading all of this (does anyone do?!?) and check the website again sometime soon for some more crucial updates concerning the record. G'night! 21/08/08 People have been emailing me these past few weeks asking what was happening with the record and why they didn't receive their copies yet. First of all, I want to deeply apologize for all the delays about everything and especially concerning the shipment of the records. I first planned to send all the LPS in brand new mailers so I put an order to buy a few but my bank being run by a bunch of incompetent losers, everything concerning the money transfer to the bank of the German company I ordered my mailers from got messed up and to this day, the company still hasn't been paid and I still haven't received anything. Therefore, after waiting for a few weeks now and since I am still struggling with my bank to get things fixed, I decided to find another solution to send everything out. This is why I've been spending all of today's afternoon with my friend Julien and his girlfriend packing records for everyone (thanks A BUNCH to both of them.) Nice work, isn't it? 
This means that everyone's copies of the LP are being shipped tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Most distros' copies have already been sent out a little bit earlier this week so they should be available from them next week for the most part. Look at the former entry if you ever couldn't buy a copy from me and want to catch up with that. Thank you all for your patience, interest and support. It really means a lot to me. 24/07/08 Wow, it was fast! I actually sold out of Algernon Cadwallader LPs. The people who didn't grab their copies yet will be able to get them around mid/late-August from some distros, namely: Thanks a lot to everyone who ordered the record from me and also to the fine gentlemen who run the distros aforementioned for accepting to carry some copies. 18/07/08 Yup, after a looooong while, the Euro pressing of the Algernon Cadwallader LP is finally available and on sale! Here is a part of the description of the record that I stole from Craig, who released the CD version of this record on his label Be Happy: Label Website or Label Myspace. "The long awaited debut full length from Philly's local sweethearts is finally here! Constantly compared to Chicago's music style, like bands Cap n' jazz and American Football, Algernon Cadwallader step it up a notch from their incredible 4 song demo with 10 new tracks of catchy, poppy, sing-a-long, punk rock indie jams! Listen closely for lots of new and fun instruments! They have evolved and created their own amazing sound of beauty. Clean, noodly and melodic guitars, tight ballsy rhythm, and super catchy sung/yelled vocals round this out to be an absolutely beautiful record. "Some kind of Cadwallader" is the perfect soundtrack to a beautiful spring day!"More curious about all of this? Check the "Releases" and "How To Order" sections of the website to grab your copy. Due to the small amount available, it is limited to ONE copy per customer and it is for EUROPEANS ONLY. Other people should try to contact the band directly or Micah from Security Blanket. |
