BOYS NIGHT OUT SECOND PRESSING NOW AVAILABLE
The blue marbled vinyl and 180g back vinyl copies of Boys Night Out's "Broken Bones and Bloody Kisses" LP are now for sale. There are only 100 of the blue vinyl copies, so each label will only have 40 or so for mailorder. Each label will have even less of the 180g copies, as most will end up in stores and online stores. We have 15, and once they're gone, it's going to be a while before we get any back. You can pick both up on the RELEASES page. Or, if you prefer, check out the DEALS page to pick up a copy of the new blue pressing and one of the remaining light grey copies on the cheap. If you also want a 180g copy in addition to the deal, just add it to the cart normally and we'll refund a buck or two for shipping.

NEW DENOVALI RELEASES IN THE DISTRO
We just received copies of two of the latest releases from Denovali Records. Check the DISTRO page for quality releases from Blueneck and Le Pre Ou Je Suis Mort.

FORGE AGAIN SIGNS EXCLUSIVE DISTRO DEAL WITH LUMBERJACK-MORDAM
We're happy to announce that we signed an exclusive distribution deal with Lumberjack-Mordam. The bulk of the back catalog will be available from them starting in late April. The first new releases will be on June 24th - Elder - S/T 10"+CD and the 180g vinyl verison of Boys Night Out - Broken Bones and Bloody Kisses. The increase in wholesale prices to stores/distributors should be negligible (in some cases it might even go down), so everything should still be available in stores rather cheap and it'll now be even more readily available. Obviously the cheapest way to get copies of Forge Again releases will still be to mailorder directly from us, but those of you who would rather buy stuff from your local independent store should find it a bit easier.

NEW RELEASES FOR JUNE 24
Our first new releases for 2008 will be available in stores on June 24th. The first is the debut release from Elder, their S/T 10"+CD (which is currently available for mailorder). The second will be the 180g vinyl version of Boys Night Out "Broken Bones and Bloody Kisses" LP. The second pressing of this release will be limited to just 400 copies, 300 on 180g black vinyl and 100 on standard-weight baby blue vinyl (mailorder exclusive). This is a split release with One Day Savior, and both labels will have both versions available for mailorder some time in May.

ELDER - S/T 10"+CD NOW SHIPPING
The debut release from Philadelphia's ELDER is now available for mailorder. Elder is a brand new project featuring members of Balboa and Towers. Rather than read my crappy attempt at describing their music, check out Elder's MySpace to hear two of the tracks and to find out about their upcoming shows. Their self-titled 3 song debut is a 10"+CD combo, limited to just 400 copies with silk-screened covers. 100 of them have brown covers and were a mailorder/band exclusive. We sold all of our copies, so you have to get one from the band if you want one. The other 300 sport black covers and will be available at independent retailers and online stores on June 24th. They're available now for direct mailorder. We gave away a test pressing via deadformat.net. Check the site out, as it is an incredible pressing info resource filled with all sorts of wonderful pictures, as well as a nice message board where you can trade and talk shit.

EXAMINATION OF THE... LP BACK IN STOCK
We haven't had these for over a year now, but we recently got a very small handful of copies of the LP back from the band. As of the date above there are 4 left. This second pressing was limited to 500 copies on red vinyl and comes in a full color jacket. Just click on RELEASES above and you'll see it way down near the bottom. Or you can order one from Robotic Empire or Vinyl Collective.

ALMOST OUT OF PRINT
Barring any unforeseen returns, the following records will be out of print shortly. Here's what we have left. I'll update this as they sell:
*Rescue/Grayson split 7" (1 regular edition on blue, 1 on black)
*ST Monroe/The Like Young split 7" (6 regular on gold, 2 regular on red)
*Hewhocorrupts - The Discographer 2xLP (8 copies on half/half green/white/green/brown)
*Examination of the... "We are the Architects of Desire" LP (4 on red vinyl)

FORGE AGAIN RELEASES NOW AVAILABLE DIGITALLY
For those of you who prefer their music in the digital form, most of the Forge Again Records releases are now available through iTunes, eMusic, Napster, Amazon, and a ton of other MP3 download sites. They should be available just about everywhere at this point, though a few are not up on iTunes yet. The only ones that will not be available via iTunes and the other services are vinyl-only license jobs (where the CD version is on another label). I'll add iTunes buttons to the RELEASES page as they pop up, but they should be available pretty much anywhere.

CALL ME LIGHTNING
Call Me Lightning has a new bass player and a new website. They're playing a bunch of shows in May, mostly in the midwest. Check their new website or MySpace for details. Their most recent album, Soft Skeletons is out now on LP and CD and it looks and sounds excellent. The CD version is on Frenchkiss Records, but we have a few copies in the DISTRO for anyone who wants the CD version. CML also has a brand new split 7" with Get Rad on Scenester Credentials. We have those in the distro as well.
