Thanks Man, I am still putting out cool stuff in 2010/11/12! Howlin' Houndog (me!) PLUS Joey "The Saint" & The A-Men's "Old Whiskey in New Bottles" LP (Dirty Jump&Jive Blues), Ol' Cheeky Bastards (Pogues-ish Busker-Rock from San Fran) plus other goodies from cool bands as yet still to be determined. It's not getting easier though, with lots of "Brick & Mortar" stores closing and distro wanting to sell 10,000 units right out of the gate just to break even against digi downloads. To quote Wimpy form Popeye, "I'll gladly pay you Tues for Record Deal Today!" Sheesh! It is labor of LOVE.
Joey "The Saint" & The A-Men's Records will be VINYL ONLY and the LP will MONO and all-analog (including the cut!) ALL DIY!
Hopefully all you folks out there (left) in your Garage Punk HIDEOUT-lands will support indi-labels and bands that need to sell product to keep rollin'. It is getting pretty bleak out there lately. I'll do what I can when I can afford it, but its never easy!
Keepa Rockin'!

Erik, you're the real deal, man! The music world is nothing without people like you and other independents out there pushing what they believe in an getting nothing in return!
We release all our stuff on our own label, Spincycle Records. We try to give people a nice product recorded from a separate just-for-vinyl master, on coloured vinyl, with a colour-insert, CD version included, and we keep the cost low deliberately because we don't want to gouge. But at this point, we have no illusions about making our money back. We just hope people dig it and play it LOUD on their turntables.
Keep the faith, brother; you're a true contributor!
