Inspired by a sale that our friend Mike Park of Asian Man Records did, we have decided to post a couple of absolutely ridiculous sales. The sales are pretty simple, you pay $50 and you get 50 CDs, OR you pay $25 and you get 25 CDs. We pick the CDs, but we promise that you will get an incredible mix of Punk, Indie Rock, Hardcore, Emo, and Alt-Country. The reason we are doing this sale is because over the past 11 years, we have accumulated quite a bit of stock and our office is full of boxes.
The life of a release pretty much peaks during the title's shipout and its success is dependent on the activity of each band. When a band breaks up or slows down, the title usually does too. That doesn't mean that the title is a lesser release, it just means the band's momentum comes to a halt and most music fans aren't actively picking up these titles. This is a perfect sale for someone looking to find out about new music that they may have never heard and are looking for a bargain. My goal with this sale is to give a little bit of life to a handful of releases that maybe never got their just dues. Most of the acts represented incredible potential that for one reason or another didn't quite make it not because they werenÃt great, but because of any number of factors that cause incredible bands to stop playing. I guarantee that you will find many new releases that make it into your musical rotation and I also promise that you can expect at least one title from each of the following bands: The Gamits, The Queers, Against All Authority, The Rise, Ghost Buffalo, Laymen Terms, Kane Hodder, Honor System, Adventures of Jet, and Cadillac Blindside. I also promise that you can expect the following compilations: Broken Lamps 2, Amp Hardcore and Amp Metal, Jawbreaker Tribute, Green Day Tribute, and No Fi Trash. Since the sales have already been packed, we cannot accept requests for titles. We promise that you will be stoked though.
The above photo is a sample of what you can expect from a 50 for 50 sale. If you were to purchase each title individually, you would pay over $500.00. Help us by helping yourself to a ton of new music. This sale will only go on for about a month or until we run out of CDs, whichever one comes first.
