Hey All, so over the next month you will probably hear very little from us, except maybe on twitter. Why? Well #1 I will be moving and #2 I will also be making a cross country roadtrip. So yeah, I might talk about cool stuff im seeing, but not too much on the business end…Yes, that also means slightly slower mailorder. My amazing Girlfriend Melissa will be helping out in my absence. When I get back we will finalize the move, so stuff will be a mess. The store will remain open through out all this, but please just keep in mind we will be doing our best.
Once we get moved, I will be getting down with many needed and long awaited trades which I’ve been holding off because of all this. I will get a bunch of other new stuff too, who knows!
Secondly prior to my leaving is the Best Friends Day fest, it looks like I will be teaming up with Vinyl Conflict for some record mayhem. We will be attempting to follow around as many shows as possible and bring you cool stuff to get your paws on. (Vinyl Conflict will only be bringing new vinyl, Used vinyl is at the shop and trust me there’s a killer 80′s collection sitting there. Don’t miss it!) So come visit us! We’re gonna have Tshirts and Tanktops, Distro goodies and who maybe some other oddball stuff.
Finally I hate letting cats out of the bag, but I am in talks with a few bands im really into about doing records in the coming months. So lets just say money pending/time there is some stuff in the works I am very very stoked to be working on.
drop us a line! we might be coming through your area as we trek across the great country (headcountrecords at gmail.com)

Hey guys, there Imposters – Down by the Bay 7″ is up and ready for order! These are hand numbered out of 300 copies. A handful went to the band, Ebullition, and RevHQ. This record will go quite quick we believe, if you were a fan of their Bus Stop Blues 7″ or the odder parts of the LP then you will want to give this a listen.
Here is one track from the record

Hey Guys! Thanks for the mega support on our new site and webstore. We absolutely love both of them and its great to hear that you do as well! The Tank Tops are almost out completely!!!! We have plenty of the t-shirts left however, we are considering one more run of tank tops before the summer season ends.
As for the much anticipated Imposters 7″!!! Tests we’re approved about a week ago. Covers should be in later this week with the vinyl in hopefully the week after. We will be putting up orders shortly so please keep checking back. This record is limited to a strict 300, numbered and all! A handful will be mailed out to our distributors, the band, and some local stores. After that I really would not wait on this record!
Face the Rail has announced an East Coast tour! Holy Crap am I excited! First press is basically gone, we have under 100 left and after this tour it will probably be gone. Im not even sure the band has any copies left at this point. GETONIT
Mirrors and Wires took a dip into creativity for a minute, but are back and playing constantly every single week all over the NYC/NJ area. We have just got word that they will be making their way down to Richmond (hopefully) and will probably hit a couple other spots on the way down and back! Mega Stoked!
Devour rules, and if you have not figured that out yet you need to get up on that. We still have plenty of their Insect Circuitry 7″ and s/t LP available, so catch up is not difficult.
Limited quantities of the Hostage Calm and Seasick 7″s are kicking around in the store. Once these are gone they are GONE.
Up next we will be working with Richmonds Slugz. PUNKNROLL KDB style youngins. I will post a song in the next update if possible!
Thats it for now!

Hey everyone! As you can see there is a brand new look to us! We have switched over to the blog format so we can offer you more rapid paced updates and let you know more immediately about the new stuff we have in. No there won’t be 5 updates a day, but I would look forward to probably a couple each week, if not at least one.
To go along with the new site we have also switched Webstore servers, as we were not able to host our entire distro before. All our current releases are loaded along with all the LPs and we are working daily on getting the 7″s in there too. Our brand new Shirts and Tank Tops have also made there debut in the store! The link is up top, give it a look!
The shirt design was made by Perry Shall of being awesome fame as well playing in a few bands you need to hear like Dry Feet and Lighten Up.
Logo by Perry Shall
There are shirts in Blue and Tank Tops in Grey for this first run, hope to make a few more!!
Also HCR-014 is right around the corner. A new 7″ for Hermosha Beach’s The Imposters. 2 new tracks that will make you want much more.
Face the Rail first press is dwindling down and we have plans for a 2nd much later in the year.
Mirrors and Wires – Mercitron 7″ is totally ripping as well! Make sure to catch them live, always a great performance and lately been playing with some wild bands!! You really need to check these guys out if you have not yet, killer surf/psych/punk.
Devour 7″ has been getting awesome reviews lately! Getting down to the last couple hundred from the first press of 1000! Still plenty color vinyl for the collectors out there!!
Final copies of the Seasick and Hostage Calm 7″s are in the shop as well. When those 2 are gone, they are GONE!
Alright more early next week! Tell your friends about the new site!

Hello 2011! First and for most for those who don’t know I have moved to Richmond as of early October, we didn’t drop off the map just relocated! We also have 2 brand new releases that sort of dropped during the holiday season, so lets now give them the proper push they deserve!
I have brand new 7″s for both Face the Rail and Mirrors and Wires! The FTR 7″ is the first follow up from the band since their killer debut LP on Tankcrimes records! Total Revolution Summer meets Regular Summer. Mirrors and Wires is a repeat artist here at Headcount, back for their 3rd 7″ (second one with us) M&W’s takes the noise into a more traditional surf sound. You will wondering if this is from the 60′s, 70′s, 90′s, now? BOTH OF THESE ARE AVAILABLE NOW!
The Devour – Insect Circuitry 7″ is still going very strong and is an amazing 7″! I saw it make some top lists for 2010. We have been carrying and listening to their LP for a while now and were so excited to be a part of doing their newest ep. I believe that have plans to do another full length you should keep your eyes peeled for this year as well as some touring! Not just another band stopping through your town, you need to make sure to catch them! Here is a review by Al Quint-
“Barbed-wire hardcore attack on this new five song EP. The vocals remain raspy and nasty and the songs stick to a speedy assault although there’s a change-up with the noise-field fade for “Laugh Track” before the pillage continues with “Living Scraps.” As I mentioned in the review of their LP, there’s a hint of early COC in terms of the bass runs, drumming style and arranging but it’s not pure tribute. Devour forge together a hardcore sound with a bulldozing presence.”
We are finally adjusted in Richmond, we are doing a big webstore update to properly show what’s new in shop! We also plan to be dropping Myspace and picking up a new means of digital streaming, we intend to put everything up and also place our out of print stuff up for free download! We also want to hit the road a bit this year, itching from 09′s Seasick Euro excursion. There is a new graphic we will be using soon created by our great friend Perry Shall! Sup dude? We are gonna have some cool merch to use it on!
Up next????
HCR014 – The Imposters – Invading 7″ (Cali youngins making some catchy music! They started skate punk, went surfy, got weird and pulled it together and have a very unique 7″ coming up that I am STOKED to be putting out)
ALSO still available (for now!):Seasick – Ennui 7″Hostage Calm – Demo 7″ (less than 75)
