We are now taking pre-orders for the Flesh Lights "Muscle Pop" LP! Twelve songs of shit-hot powerpopgaragepunkrocknroll!
Download link: Flesh Lights - "I'm A Monk" mp3
First pressing limited to 500 copies, includes mp3 download. Get one before it's too late!
Here's some not so fun news: USPS raised their rates for many of their services as of April 17th, including "Package Services" and International Shipping. This essentially means that it's more expensive to ship things some things, like records. I haven't raised the postage paid price for my 7" records in many years, but this increase has forced the issue.
So, despite the fact that the ads i've run recent issues of MRR and Razorcake might say otherwise, 7" my prices are increasing as of today. Sucks, but there's nothing I can do.
On a better note, Flesh Lights get back from tour in a couple days just in time for this awesome show with Come And Take It, as well as our friends High Tension Wires, Air Traffic Controllers, and Bike Problems! Don't miss it if you're in town!
There's lots of exciting news here on the Twistworthy Records front! First and Foremost, I am excited to announce the next release on Twistworthy Records: FLESH LIGHTS full LP!! It's going to be called "Muscle Pop", and it is really fucking great. It's at the pressing plant as I write this, and i'm expecting test pressings soon… So i'll provide more info about that soon!!
Speaking of the Flesh Lights, they're about to go on a quick tour eastward! There are a few dates still yet to be confirmed, but go check them out if you're in these places:

The debut 7" by Come And Take It is FINALLY OUT! After months of delays, I couldn't be more happy to be holding this in my hand. Buy it where good records are sold, or directly from us HERE. Limited edition of 300 hand-numbered copies with digital download card included. YUSS.
The Flesh Lights 7" is moving quickly and all of the reviews have been great! Since the release of our little Flesh Lights record, their SECOND 7" has come out of THREAD PULL RECORDS, and it's highly recommended. Go pick up a copy of that one here.
The Flesh Lights debut 45rpm single, "You're A Stealer" b/w "He Got Sent Away" is *officially* being released this Friday September 3rd! To commemorate this event, we're having a little record release party at our favorite bar in town, Beerland:
The record is limited to 300 hand numbered copies and should move fast! Each record also includes a personalized hand-drawn insert containing various nuggets of wisdom from the band and various other contributors! And to up the ante even more, they all come with a digital download so you can easily put that shit on your mobile listening devices. Available now, $5ppd or available to stores & mail order from your favorite distributors eventually (Goner, No Idea, Revolver, etc). For those who enjoy purchasing mp3's online, the record is available via iTunes as well.
