SUMMER UPDATE
I started writing this weeks ago, i know from just the news page it may look like we havn't been doing anythings, but thats hardly true i was just too lazy to update news.
First Thing is First:
The Hostage Calm 7" IS OUT! Not only that, the first press of 500 is almost sold out! Thanks to everyone who pre-ordered, this record came out perfect. I still have a little of the color vinyl left, here was the pressing info for the first press...
100 on Gold (some with pre-order covers, #ed out of 100 but they didn't all come with it)
50 on Trash Vinyl (sent out with multi pre-orders, limited covers also for As One Fest and Rain Fest)
350 on Black
Hostage Calm just wrapped up the first leg of their summer tours! From what it sounds like everything went awesome, if you missed them the first time around make sure you catch them on the second half of the tour.
They also now a Full Length CD out on Redscroll Records! If you are into what you have already heard, this cd will blow you away. MAKE SURE YOU GET THIS!

We as well as Brain Drain have a limited supplies, so if you need a copy or want to carry this title please get in touch. ANS has a lot of awesome 7"s and LPs make sure you stock up on everything if you get a chance. Seasick just put out their new EP, which is a one sided LP with a kick ass etching on the B side.

NEW WEBSITE
Hey everyone! New Site, New Bands, New Shirts, New Everything! We said it and this time it all happened! New site Ala Alex Pines again. New site made flash free so you can view it from anything including wireless devices( yes iphones and sidekicks).
We have some new bands on our roster!! Hostage Calm from CT has joined the ranks and we are very excited about this upcoming release. If you have caught them recently they have been pillaging the east coast. They have an incredible demo out, and after listening to it a million times decided it needed to be on vinyl. Hostage Calm is your perfect poppy melodic hardcore with a punch. Whats that mean? Think Battery meets Pennywise and to me that is a very good thing. Give them a listen on their myspace (http://www.myspace.com/hostagecalmct)
We are also going to be releasing a 7" for DC youngin's Juice Tyme in the near future, continue to keep your eyes and ears peeling 2008 is going to be a big one.
I feel like we have said new shirts in the News Updates since we have been making new updates. Well.....WE HAVE THEM IN! Yes they are in the webstore and they look great, Art by Dave Manganaro, name sound firmiliar? He did the Bail Out! and Our Times 7" covers for us! Please pick one up!
ANS/Seasick split 7" has been going quite well! we are down to a little over 100 7"s, Make Sure to catch Seasick and ANS on tour all summer all over the place. Also make sure to check out Brain Drain Records out of Philadelphia who we split this release with. They have a few releases tucked up their sleeve that are gonna be things not to miss!!!
The Coke Bust 7" is totally sold out, its gone, bye bye. The demo 7" may emerge again one day, however we spent 2007 on that record quite heavely and 1000 copies dissapeared quickly and now we are focused on other things. PLEASE check out the new 7" on Third Party Records, its awesome and if you liked the demo, it totally blows it away! Catch Coke Bust on the West Coast this summer!
Thats it for now! Drop us a line! Email us or message our Myspace account! we want to talk to all of you! – Bobby
