First off, the Radiator Hospital records are in! Pick one up from the store right now! Only the first 100 were pressed on acrylic blue. Please don’t email me tears if you’re too late. Second, we are beyond excited to announce that Vancouver’s dreamy punk outfit Eating Out have announced plans to release an upcoming 7″ with us. The band is fronted by Nu Sensae’s Daniel Pitout and also includes Brody McKnight, White Lung front-lady Mish Way and Peace’s Geoff Dembick. In other words, some of the best bands around. Expect something early this summer. Check out the video for Burn off their self-titled cassette from Burger Records. If you watch it less than 10 times you aren’t human. Lastly, expect a new LP from Claps sometime this winter/early spring. Their last release on Moon Glyph was absolutely amazing and I’m sure the next will be just as great.

Check out the new videos for the Radiator Hospital record Some Distant Moon! Sam will be premiering a different video for each of the 4 songs on his blog before the record is officially released. The 7″ will be available for sale in no more than three weeks from now so keep yer eyes peeled.

Minneapolis synth/goth-pop band Claps announced plans to release their next record through Forward. These guys/gal embody the romantic feel of bands like New Order and Cocteau Twins while sticking to their own dark and minimalistic style, often resembling more modern acts like Merchandise and Silk Flowers. Please check out their video for Book of Love off the Wreck LP. More details coming soon.

To start off, all the Pity Sex orders have been sent! We are so sorry for the delay. There was a problem at the plant and we tried our best to get them out as fast as we could. That being said, we are very excited for the new Radiator Hospital record Some Distant Moon to finally begin pressing. I just heard the tracks and they are really great! Surprise guests and bubblegum riffs. It makes me feel good that someone else enjoys falling in love, sc-fi, and soda pop as much as I do.

The Pity Sex records are finally done! Whew. I will be sending out all the pre-orders soon after their release show. Sean just informed me this morning that they were approach by Run For Cover Records to put some music out and they agreed. We are so incredibly excited for them! Please check their tour dates and attend a show if possible. They will be playing Minneapolis next week so it’d be rad to see the locals come out.

Pity Sex will be playing Hell’s Kitchen on July 5th with label-mates The Funeral and The Twilight and Duluth’s Shakin’ Babies. This will be Pity Sex’s first time in Minneapolis so please show some love and stop by. Their new record Dark World will be available at the show along with screen prints of the poster. Let’s get sad!

Pity Sex and Procession now have preliminary dates up for each tour. They both are hitting the road right after each other so please try to make it out. The Procession LP’s have just finished up at the pressing plant and will be available early next month on the webstore.
