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....
