ISIS and PG.99 represses & shirts, new NADJA shirt + FLOOR discography discount, a bat PEEING in TILTS/TORCHE guitarist's EYE, lotsa great distro items and more!
This diverse update first sees us with two influential bands' catalog items back in print, with vinyl from
ISIS and
PG.99 getting the re-press treatment. Although the sonic differences are significant, each group created a lasting legacy that still holds long after their disbanding.
http://i407.photobucket.com/albums/pp15 ... albums.jpgISIS' landmark albums
Oceanic and
Panopticon are both back in action on the 2xLP format, each with "reverse board" printing throughout (
Oceanic getting the massive "tip-on" style jackets, and
Panopticon printed via reverse-board for the very first time). The band requested simple black-vinyl for the entire pressing and after a smattering of variations over the years, this keeps things nice and simple.

http://i407.photobucket.com/albums/pp15 ... shirts.jpgPAGENINETYNINE reunited last year for a couple of well received and emotionally cathartic live performances. To celebrate, we issued their long out-of-print collections CD,
Singles, on the overdue vinyl format. The entire pressing sold out, so a shorter run of 250 more on black vinyl have just been pressed to fill the remaining silkscreened jackets we had kicking around. In classic makeshift fashion, some copies come with the proper "printed innersleeve" that houses the vinyl, and some copies come with a xerox insert of the same artwork instead. Keeping it DIY to keep it in print!
Related, we also recently re-printed two classic
PG.99 t-shirt designs. Most sizes are still available, although before even announcing their availability they started heading right back out our doors.

http://i407.photobucket.com/albums/pp15 ... ty-648.jpgAgain sonically different but equally recommended, in celebration of
TORCHE's magnanimous new album
Harmonicraft coming out later this month, we've decided to discount the closely-related
FLOOR discography 8xCD set,
Below & Beyond. Everything this seminal sludge-turned-pop outfit ever recorded is contained within this massive collection, and with the deluxe vinyl edition now sold out, this 8xCD release is the only (physical) way to own the monstrous amount of material these geniuii churned out.
The price is tightnice too, as if you enter the "
FLOORTWENTY" coupon code at checkout, the price drop to, ahem, $20. Pretty galldarn good for 8 stacked CDs, a bigass 12"x12" 32(!)-page booklet and a custom gatefold jacket holding it all together. BONUS SCHWAG: coupon-code enterers also get a free
FLOOR 8xButton set as well, depicting all the album covers from the discography. If you've slacked on this crucial mega-release thus far, hit that up with the quickness as the discount+hookup only goes through the end of this month.
* (including the discography, buttons, lots of t-shirts and a 2xDVD)
*
FLOOR also has three live gigs on deck in the coming months as well. If you're on the US East Coast, or in England... don't miss em!

ALLLL that gravy and more is available NOW in the
http://i407.photobucket.com/albums/pp15 ... at-420.jpgAND last but most likely not least, some crazy mainstream news activity has been surrounding
TILTS guitarist/vocalist (and
TORCHE guitarist) Andrew Elstner's recent run in with a rogue bat. A viral press bonanza has stemmed from a freak accident where a bat
PISSED IN ANDREW'S EYE and things snowballed from there. There was a rabies scare, freaked out friends/family and subsequent emergency treatment... all detailed on MSNBC, MTV, BUZZFEED, PITCHFORK and more. This is too absurd not to share (you can't make this kinda stuff up!)... so have at it if you've been under a rock:
