New records - The Poppets / Mac Blackout / Earthmen and Strangers LP'S are all out now. All the preorders have been sent out. All new orders and distro orders will ship this week. We still got some of the Mac Blackout and Poppets mailorder versions left. Earthmen and Strangers are only available on black vinyl less then 100 copies left.
Distro update- I have decided to start moving away from using e-bay for selling records. The reality is I have to charge customers more money to give e-bay their fees. So I have posted a distro list on the webpage. Just go to the buy link and follow the distro link. All prices are postage paid in the usa. We will for sure combine shipping on items and we will always consider offers so dont be shy. Also all orders over 50 bucks will get a free random 7" from FDH.
Getting low on the following items
Doctor Scientist / Ocatgon Control split 7" - about 10 left from the first pressing. We will have a second pressing of 100 copies available soon on mixed color vinyl.
Sudden Walks - Haulin Ass 7" - down to about 15 copies left. This one was co-released with P.Trash and they sopld out of them.
Digital Leather - Power Surge 7" - About 30 left till they are gone. Will not be repressed.
Manikins - I want my baby dead 7" - About 40 left . Will not be repressed.

Manikins / Digital Leather 7" updates & NO MORE FDH PREORDERS
Ok well here we go again. I have had a bunch of problems with the pressing of the new Digital Leather and Manikins 7"s. As everyone probably knows already these records were due out in April for the Manikins US tour. I made the mistake of trying a new pressing plant for these records and now everyone is paying.
So today I finally got the box of records that was due out a month ago. Upon opening the records all of the Digital Leather ones were fine. Then I opened the Manikins singles. The 400 black vinyl copies were fine. However when I opened the box of 100 color copies they all had Digital Leather center stickers on them. So after a day of dealing with this via the pressing plant I am now being told that the corrected versions will be in my hands next week. Obviously Im not to happy with this. Alot of you had paid for these records a long time ago. And now they are getting delayed again.
As a result of this I have made a call to stop taking preorders on upcoming releases. I have already started preorders for the 3 LP'S coming out in July (Mac Blackout / Earthmen and Strangers/ and Poppets). Im not going to take down the preorder for these records. However moving forward I will start record sales when the records are in my hands. As much as I know that I have done nothing wrong and everyone will get their records I feel this reflects poorly on me and the FDH name so this is my attempt to avoid anything like this happening again.
Anyone that ordered just a Digital Leather record they will ship this week. If you ordered Manikins records (or both records together) I gotta wait for the fixed Manikins records to show and then the records will ship. Im sorry for the delay once again. If anyone Would rather get a black vinyl version of the Manikins record just to get them in your hands quicker just write me and I will make this happen.
Once again Im sorry for these delays and as I stated Im doing everything I can to make sure this never happens again...

Poppets / Earthmen and Strangers / Mac Blackout LP's preorder up now & test pressing giveaway
Well its that time again. We got 3 more juicy slabs of wax that are in pressing that we are starting to take preorders on. All 3 are expected out in July.
FDH-096 Poppets - Mini LP - co-released with p.trash records. Poppets have made quite a name for themselves with a handful of singles over the past year or so. Now they are back with their first 12". An 8 song just shy of 14 minutes, blast of lo-fi garage pop greatness. Limited to 1000 copies. First 150 orders from FDH get a limited edtion mailorder version (P.trash will also be offering a mailorder version just as limited with a different cover variation).
FDH-095 Earthmen and Strangers - self titled LP. Ryan Rousseau saw that Tokyo Electron was about to become a much less active band and started a new project. He recorded a handful of demo tracks and started to put together a new band. Well here is the result. 10 tracks recorded with his new band recorded and mixed at Cardiac Studio. This first offical output from the band will be limited to 500 copies (as a first press at least) with the first 100 copies on red wax.
FDH-094 Mac Blackout - The Western Blue LP. Mac Blackout is a busy guy. In down time with his band the Daily Void he has somehow found time to record a shitload of killer songs on his own. Last year his debut solo release came out on Deadbeat records on vinyl followed very quickly with a follow up CD of more material. Well here we have yet another 14 tracks of weirdness that has a sound that cant be mistaken for anyone but Mac. Limited to 500 copies first 100 on Blue (or Western Blue) Vinyl.
Like we did with our last batch of records, FDH will be giving away some test pressing copies of all 3 records (each test limited to 4 copies). We have 1 poppets, 2 Earthmen and Strangers, and 2 Mac Blackout test pressings we are going to give away. All you gotta do to be entered is preorder the records. We will announce the winners of the test press give away right before the records are released.

Whats going on
Ok so Its been quite some time since my last update (last year I guess). Got loads of updates on stuff.
1. The Doctor Scientist/ Octagon Control split 7" came out about a month and a half ago. This one was limited to 300 copies for the first pressing. Got about 30 to 40 copies remaining right now. Their will be a repress coming before the Doctor Scientist tour this summer. You can grab one of the first pressing copies from me while I still got them or one of the many other places that have copies out their.
2. Digital Leather - Power Surge 7" & The Manikins - I want my Baby Dead 7" - Both these single will be out within a few weeks. I started using a new pressing plant that is taking a little longer then I'm used to so it made it so the Manikins were not able to get them for tour however the test pressings sound great. Thicker cuts of vinyl then I have been able to give in the past. And Dave over at Lucky Lacquers is my new mastering / Plating guy. Let me tell you he does GREAT work. I'm happier with the work he has done for me over the past few months then anyone else I have worked with. Anyways most of the copies of both records have sold out via preorder. I have about 5 more Manikins singles available and about 25 more Digital leather singles. Both records are limited to 500 copies. We also are giving away 2 test pressings of each record. To enter all you gotta do is preorder a copy of the records. Im gonna try and give away test pressings of every record I do from now on as a thanks to the folks that preorder records. Winners for the test pressings will be posted here and on our myspace page the day the record comes out.
3. Got a few more records in pressing now. The mastering and plating on all 3 is done. Now just waiting for the test presses before I start preorders. Here is whats in store
Mac Blackout - The Western Blue LP / CD - New Full length from Mac. For those of you not familiar with Mac's work he played in the Functional Blackout's and now is in the Daily Void. He also released a full length LP and separate full length CD on Deadbeat records in 2008. More info to come on this soon. Due out in June/ July
Earthmen and Strangers - Ryan "Wong" Rousseau and his new band have written and record their first official output. This 10 song LP is gonna be a must have for fans of Ryan's other work especially Tokyo Electron. Due out in June /July
Poppets - A new 8 SONG 12" EP is in pressing now! This one is gonna be a co-release with P.Trash records from Germany. We are pushing hard to try to get this one out for the Band US tour in July. More info coming soon.
