New news and stuff

Yeah it's been a minute.. so what. While we were away, some things happened. Meek Is Murder's Onward/Into The Sun 2XEP dropped in three gorgeous deluxe colored vinyl configurations. You can pick that up here Onward/Into The Sun if you have not. You totally should.. those dudes rule.

 Secondly, I co curated this art and music event at Saint Vitus Bar this past Thursday, called Special EffectsA Custom Painted Effects Pedal Art and Music Event. It was a gas. We had some cool stuff happen. My band Morn also played. Along with Moon Tooth and Godmaker. Who both rocked the hell out. You can check out Ryan and Shannon's Fuzzrocious Effects company here http://fuzzrociouspedals.com they have a bunch of the artists custom painted effects pedals available for purchase. 
Whats next you ask?? Well Candiria is going to play the Afro Punk music festival which should be a good time. We will be sharing the stage with Death Grips, Suicidal Tendencies and some other fools. Miss Lauren Hill performs on our day, along with Grace Jones and a bunch more fools.... Actin foolish. Afro Punk : August 22nd time of day TBA
Lastly, I am working on another Spylacopa release, it is at this time called, Not Like The Others. Rightfully so. For many reasons. Going to press up some more vinyl and do some custom silk screened artwork this time around. More about that soon. Until next time. -J

Parallels Pre Orders and Meek is Murder

Heyo!! It's been a busy week at Rising Pulse Records. The pre order for the new Spylacopa full length 12" LP is off to a running start. With them being pressed up in three gorgeous color configurations, why wouldn't we be!? They are just about to come off the press so we can have our first glance at the LP's in Baby Blue w Magenta and Black Splatter or Silver and Royal Blue Marble (A side B side) or the Easter Egg Yellow w Orange Crush, Aqua Blue and Doublemint Splatter. The "proverbial we" Can't wait to see these puppies. We are doing a raffle giveaway for the first 100 pre orders for a hand numbered and signed, test press copy of the LP so if you haven't yet, head over to the Rising Pulse Records on line store and pick up a copy HERE
In other news, Rising Pulse Records and Meek Is Murder have tied the knot so to speak and the band will be releasing a double EP / split 12" LP on deluxe colored vinyl (of course). Is that an industry first? The band is doing a lengthy PR run for the next couple of months leading up to the release so I am sure there will be plenty of info floating around about the band if you are unfamiliar or the release if you are. The band premiered a track on Noisey/Vice this past week. Please have a listen HERE
Look at these cats .. stylin' no?

Testing Testing ... M ... I ... M ...

Hey folks! It's Been a minute but we have some great news! The new Spylacopa record, Parallels is scheduled for a late March release. We'll get the exact date to you soon but in the mean time we just wanted to inform the masses that we received the test pressings from Pirates Press manufacturing and the test pressings sound fan-freakin-tastic!! So things are moving ahead and the record is being pressed up in some brilliantly beautiful colored vinyl configurations as I type this which makes me a little giddy inside. The photo above is a shot of the test pressing in motion, on my home system, which is the best way for me to approve test pressings when they come in. Just your basic set up, nothing too special but it does the job. In other Spylacopa related news. Independent film maker and my good friend, Steve Perlmaster has put together a really incredible cast and crew for a short film inspired by the music of Spylacopa. The first song off the new record, Hexes, will have an accompanying short film that will be released some time in the not so distant future. Here's a shot of my bud Steve, mid shoot, kicking ass and taking names. With inspirations for this film ranging from Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction to Brothers Quay's Crocodile Street we are sure to be entertained by this short film for certain. More on that coming soon.
There's even more great news!! Rising Pulse records is proud to announce that we will be releasing a limited edition vinyl Double EP of two Meek Is Murder EP's, one which is completely, brand spankin new!!! The band and I sat down for some beverages at the Headless Horseman in Union Square to discuss details and came up with a plan which we will unveil in the coming weeks. In the mean time check out there latest release, Everything Is Awesome Nothing Matters Here
