Some stuff

1. Black Sunday / Destruction Unit - split LP is almost out. They are in the mail on the way to me now. Most of them are gone via preorders (got about 50 left). Everyone that preordered a copy I will be getting them mailed out before mid Nov.

2. Sudden Walks - "Haulin ass gettin paid" 7" is in pressing now. This one is limited to 500 and co-release with P.Trash records. 140 will have silkscreened covers. We will only have 40 of them here at FDH. As always vinyl club members (still got room in thew vinyl club get in touch for info) get first dibs on limited edition items. Preorders should be starting for that one soon and that will be out in Dec.

3. Got 100 more copies of the Le Jonathan Reilly/ X-Mas island split in press now. 40 of them with different art. More info on that soon.

4. Earthmen and Strangers have just finished recording the debut full length. Working on mixing now. Looks like that will be the first release of 2009.

5. The Statues 7" and Black and Whites 7" represses have been delayed till early in 2009. More news on that soon.

6. Since the last post we have added Mac Blackout (Daily Void / Functional Blackouts) to the FDH lineup. We will be doing a LP sometime in mid 2009. For the time being go get his record on Dead Beat records. Its one of the best albums of 2008.

7. We are in the process of opening a e-bay store. Got about 1/2 our distro in it now and will be adding more each day till I get everything up and listed. Trying to focus on growing the distro now. If your in a band or have a label that has VINYL releases get in touch and maybe we can trade. Once again VINYL ONLY PLEASE. Check out the current http://stores.ebay.com/FDH-music

updates

1. The long awaited Black Sunday / Destruction Unit split LP is now in pressing. The LP will be limited to 500 copies (at least the first pressing). Each copy of the LP will include a CD version. We also will have a cheaply packaged version of the CD available only from the bands or thru FDH mailorder. Presales will start sometime in Oct and the record will be out in November.

2. Next release after that will be the "Sudden Walks" second 7". This one is a co-release with P.Trash records. More news on that soon.

3. Earthmen and Strangers , Ryan "Wong" Rousseau's new band is now in full swing. They are about to head out on the road for a short tour that will lead them to Gonerfest 5. They will be heading into the studio soon to record the debut full length that will be coming out on FDH as soon as possible. Keep your ear to the ground on this one. Based on the demos that the band has recorded Im expecting this record to be a killer.

4. In other Ryan Wong news "Tokyo Electron" will be releasing their 2nd full length in early 2009. This one will be a co-release with Certified PR records.

5. A second pressing of the Statues - crooked fingers 7" and a 3rd pressing of the Black and Whites 7" are slated for release late in the year. Both of these fine records are co-released with P.Trash.

6. We are very happy to add Deep Sleep to the FDH roster. This band has released 2 amazing 7"s on Grave Mistake. Expect a 12" on FDH in 2009.

7. Some other stuff on the way - Doctor Scientist / Last Years Model - split 7", Poppets 12", Nazi Death Camp 12", Black Bug 12"

8. Also in FDH news. Looks like this year their will be a FDH records showcase at SXSW! More news on that soon.

Kidnappers / LJR / X-mas island / Black Sunday / Destruction Unit

An update on the next 3 releases.


1. The Kidnappers - "Ransom Notes and Telephone Calls" LP is currently at the pressing plant. This one is a reissue of the bands first LP that came out on Alien Snatch records back in 2003 and sold out real quick. After many years of searching for a copy of the Alien Snatch LPfor my own collection without and any luck I decided that I would contact the band and try to reissue this one. So here we are 500 copies in pressing now. It will be 400 on Black and 100 on Brown Vinyl (contact us about joining the FDH vinyl club if you want to be promised a brown one). Preorders will start sometime in July.

2. Christmas Island / Le Jonathan Reilly - Split 7" - A few months back Almost Ready put Christmas Island on the 5th in their series of "The Worlds Lousy Ideas" comp. This was the bands first official release. Since then they have recorded a few songs for a split with LJR. Also they will be doing their first full length on IN THE RED sometime later this year. Le Jonathan Reilly are a great band from Spain. They have a LP out on Holy Cobra Society and a split LP with Black Sunday on Tic Tac Totally (as well as a few singles). This split 7" will be co-released with SHIT IN CAN records from France. Everything is currently in my hands and will be going out to pressing this week.

3. Black Sunday / Destruction Unit - Split LP - This one is really a quite amazing record. I really feel I should not have to explain what these great bands have done in the past. If you dont know about them go get anything from either band its all reall great stuff. Both acts recorded songs for this LP that are a bit more obscure then their prior work. With some amazing art done by Matt from Tic Tac Totally. This LP will be limited to 500 copies and come with a free CD version on the album. We also will have a low cost cheaply packaged version of the album on CD for sale. This LP will be going into press soon (sometime in July). This one has been in the works for quite some time but will be worth the wait once its out....

Updates and Preorders

Ok got alot of stuff going on so here we go.



1. Started preorders today for both the Debut 7" from Women and the Digital Leather - closed my eyes 7". Both are expected at June releases here at FDH.(Pre-orders are currently only on our myspace page they will be on the fdhmusic.com page this week)

Women is a great punk band from here in Philly. I have a hard time saying exactly what they sound like. Maybe a mix of Rip off records punk with some 70's UK punk and some good early hardcore all mixed together. Be your own judge and check out their MP3 on our myspace page.
The Women 7" is currently at the pressing plant and is expected out in June

The Digital Leather closed my eyes 7" is currently available from the band on tour (if they have any copies left). They are in the mail on their way from P.Trash records to me. This record is a reissue of the 7" that was on the now defunct Disordered records. The first pressing was only 250 copies and sold out before the record even came out. The new version comes with all new artwork.


As with all FDH 7"s they are 2 for 10 bucks postage paid in the USA (Contacts me direct to take advantage of that deal).



2. Also in the mail with them( on the way from P. Trash in Germany) are the covers to the Statues 7". The band already sold out of their copies on tour. To anyone that has preordered a Statues 7" from us sorry for the wait. And if you plan on ordering the Digital Leather or Women 7" contact me before making a payment cause I can ship the records together and save you some money.



3. Le Jonathan Reilly and Christmas Island are done recording the music and are now in the process of finishing up the art for their split 7" (Co-released with Shit in Can records from France). More info on that one when it goes into pressing.


4. The great folks over at Tic Tac Totally records are hand drawing some killer artwork for the Black Sunday / Destruction Unit split LP. The music is in hand and once the art is done (within the next month) the record will go off to the pressing plant.


5. The Kidnappers are having some new art put together for the reissue of "Ransom notes and Telephone calls" LP. That one should be out in the Fall.


6. Nazi Death Camp are writing and recording for an upcoming vinyl release on FDH. It will most likely be a LP and should be out sometime this year.


7. Earthmen and Strangers is a band new one man band from no other then Ryan Wong (Tokyo electron, Destruction Unit, Wongs, ect). He is in the process of finishing some song writing and we will be doing an LP thats we are shooting to have out in September for a tour thats in the works.
