Crazy But Not Afraid

This is really insane; I don't even really know where to start. In the past 2 months we have signed 5 new bands... FIVE. (This is on top of all the great stuff we already have coming!!) ... and they are all our new favorite band and they are nuts and they are great people and we are really just about as excited as we have ever been in our lives. Blah blah blah, who are these bands? Behold:

WILD YAKS: The best live band in NY? It's possible. Currently a 4 piece, (bass, drum, 2xloud guitars) with all members on vocals, its sorta like all the triumphant parts of life affirmed by someone screaming in your face and giving you a hug that knocks the wind out of your chest. Saw them by mistake, fell asleep thinking about how good they were, woke up needing to find out more, chased them around for weeks, and now they are part of the family. Straight Thrilling. Debut EP, "10 Ships (Don't Die Yet!)" - coming ASAP.

TITLE TRACKS: Fantastic, hyper-catchy power pop from John Davis of Washington, DC / 1/2 of Georgie James / 1/3 of Q and Not U. Sold? Debut single is out now on Dischord, we're doing the full-length "It Was Easy" in early 2010. Includes a cover of Springsteen's "Tougher Than The Rest" featuring Tracyanne Campbell from Camera Obscura! So good!

CUFF THE DUKE: Already Toronto legends in their own right, we are bringing them to the USA. 4 albums in, as well as stints backing up Hayden live and on record. We've been fans for awhile and are going to be releasing their brand new album "Way Down Here" in January 2010. Hints of Wilco and Neil Young, along with hooks that linger on and on.

MISS TK & THE REVENGE: Back from the beaches of Asbury, Miss TK have jumped on-board to bring you an amazing new 7" followed by their 3rd LP of dance-tastic jams. With members of Lifetime and Zero Zero, there's some serious pedigree, and the new tunes are as astounding as expected. No Biterz b/w Future Power 7" will be out before the end of the year (and is available digitally RIGHT NOW) , and 2010 brings "Unfinshed Bizness In Partyland."

BLOOD WARRIOR: We are so excited to welcome an old friend back into the fold. Blood Warrior is O'Death's Greg Jamie, along with wonderful new friends Joey Weiss (Supermonster) and Kristin Kellas. Folky, scary, heartbreakingly epic. Their first EVER shows are coming at the end of August along with a debut 7" - and we have a whole record in the final mixing stages for early 2010. Oh, and it's amazing.


So yeah... that's what we've been up to. That, and pinching ourselves because this is so totally insane.
Black Hollies "Softly Towards The Light" on October 6.
Nouvellas debut album on October 20.
New Houston McCoy 7" and a Pegasuses-XL album in there somewhere too...
La Strada full-length recording now.

I Hope You Can See, I Hope You Understand

The Albertan's debut full length - Legends of Sam Marco - is available TODAY! Click HERE to pick up a copy, and in honor of the release, we've also got a free MP3 of the track "High Noon" for you right HERE !!! The band has been playing shows like crazy lately and it is really a spectacular thing to see. Check the tour dates for upcoming events and stay tuned for a 40 day Canada/US tour at the end of the summer / early fall...

The Black Hollies are STILL on tour and they aren't stopping any time soon. Dates are currently booked through August with more to come, and their 3rd full-length, "Softly Towards The Light" is out this fall (Sept 16 on vinyl, Oct 6 on CD/Digital!). If you've been living under a rock, you might like to know that the Hollies NEED to be seen live, but if you are reading this you have apparently escaped the oppression of said rock, so it is time to see the rock show.

The June EJRC "Caravan of Stars" was a total success, so we are keeping the train rolling - July sees The Albertans, Nouvellas, Charles Burst and some great special guests hitting the road for a few days!

Some good EJRC Europe action going on this summer too, with Dalek, Still Flyin', and O'Death all making the trek overseas, and plenty of other assorted shows from the local crew too.

I know we've been promising lots of other news too... there are going to be at least 3 new bands on EJRC, maybe more, before the end of the summer... stay tuned...

...From Mole Hills

Just a heads up - 1st pressing of Dalek - Gutter Tactics is already gone. Second pressing, limited to 1000 LPs showed up today - 2xLP - one records is two-tone red, the other is two different oranges... they look incredible. These will go fast as well, and once these colors are gone they wont be pressed again. Enjoy!

So the winter seems to be finally over, and with that comes TOURS!...
Check the full list of dates here, but the short version is this:

Skeletonbreath are on a crazy full US tour right now!

Albertans US & Canada Tour starts next week!

La Strada / Bowerbirds at the end of April/early May

Chris Mills UK tour starts May 1

Black Hollies Full US Summer Tour starts May 29!!!

and everyone else is playing all over the world as well...


Still Flyin' just finished a tour of the US and are gearing up for some
record release shows to coincide with TOMORROW'S release of their debut
full-length Never Gonna Touch The Ground.
If you haven't grabbed a copy yet, hit up the store where we have CD
and Vinyl copies, and then get ready for some soon to be announced June
dates as well as a July Euro Tour!



Dalek's insanely beautiful looking and gigantic sounding 2xLP Gutter Tactics
is just about sold out of the first pressing (literally a handful left
around here), but a 2nd pressing on all new colored vinyl is headed
into our hands in the next week, so get ready... They've got Euro
festival dates throughout the summer, so if you find yourself in
Leipzig get ready for some serious eardrum brutality.



The Black Hollies THIRD LP is DONE!! No release date yet, but you can expect the new album, Indian Summer, to land sometime close to its namesake season...


There are a bunch of very very very close to finished records coming in
the next few months, and a few that might be available sooner if you
catch one of our acts on the road...
Skeletonbreath's Eagle's Nest, Devil's Cave is one of those (road) records and it is available for pre-order from us today. The Albertan's Legends of Sam Marco (out June 23) will be up here soon as well. Also completed is the debut full-length from Nouvellas, Pegasuses-XL's Psychic Entourage, the aforementioned new Black Hollies record, and an awesomely unexpected brand new signing we'll be announcing real soon!
