FALL 2010 update

Been a while since the last update. Heres what we got going on.

Truthdealer - The new Truthdealer LP "The Contrarain" is due out within the next few weeks. This one is for sure a step more into the hardcore world then FDH has gone before. This one is gonna be limited to 500 and was split by a slew of record labels. Besides myself the following labels were also invoved - P.Trash, Resurrection, Huxtable, Suicide Bong, and Falcon Crest.


Ramma Lamma - The debut 7" from Ramma Lamma is coming right around the end of the year. Ramma Lamma is a new project from Wendy and Ryan from Plexi 3. The first single will be limited to 500 is sure to leave you wanting more. You can check out the bands myspace to get a taste of their vibe. However the 2 songs on the music player are not the songs from the upcoming debut single. http://www.myspace.com/rammalamma

Terminal Girls - This Detroit based synthpop / punk band just finished recording their first studio record. After getting my hands on their first 2 cdrs I knew I wanted to work with them. Then after having the chance to see them live this summer I offered to do a single for them. Well they recorded some songs and sent them over and I was blown away. So I said scratch the 7" lets do a LP. "Weird Lights" is the 12 track LP they recorded. This one will be limited to 300 on the first press and will be out around the new year. The band posted 2 tracks from the LP on their facebook. Check them out. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Terminal-Girls/301297639241?ref=ts#!/pages/Terminal-Girls/301297639241

Derek Lyn Plastic
- The new single from Derek Lynn Plastic came out about a month ago. It was a co-release with Certified PR. Limited to 300 copies. I think Certifed PR might be out of them and Im down to about a dozen or so left. So grab one before they are gone.

Destruction Unit
- The newest installment from Destruction Unit "Eclipse" came out about a month ago on vinyl. This LP is a co-release with Perfectly Round records. For this new record Ryan R got a new lineup for the band and moved into a much more Krautrock direction . With this rebirth of the band you get a totally different sound. Regardless of the fact that I helped release this it easily is one of my favorite records of the year.

Other stuff - We still have copies of the 3 releases from this sunner available. The Mickey 12" EP with limited diecut covers, Strange Attractor's 7" this is the bands first North American release, and the first full length from Phillies own Women as well as many items for the past few years are still available at www.fdhmusic.com as well as distros and stores worldwide. I also just found out this week that Red Devil records still has copies of the long out of print Terror Visions record (its listed under "Jay Reatard - world of shit LP " in their Ccatalog)

Distro-Im closing down the distro to make more room for FDH stuff and to focus more on the label itself. I started clearing everything out a month or so ago. Still got a good amount of great stuff left. Most LP's are 5$ and all 7"s are 1$ in the distro so grab some stuff while I still got it around.

NOW HIRING - So Im looking to add a few people to the FDH family (currently just me). Im looking to find 2 folks. One that can do web design for the label. The webpage needs a major rebuild and I just dont have the skill to do it myself. Im also looking for a person to write press releases for the label. Im looking for folks that would work for test pressings, and copies of records. Please drop me a e-mail if you might be interested.
