We now have The Prozacs "Playing The Chords We Love" on vinyl in stock courtesy of No Breaks Records and Nowhere Records.  The LP version features a song ("Let's Sniff Glue") that is not on the CD version.  We have it on both white and gold vinyl but we only have a limited amount.
We still have some copies of "Dispense This Too!" left but not too many.  The Fake Boys are leaving for tour in July and they should have copies to give out at their shows. - Jason.

"Dispense This Too!" is done!  The discs arrived yesterday and I spent the night putting them together.  This disc acts as a label sampler so if you'd like a copy you will be able to obtain one for free at either Insubordination Fest or Going Nowhere Fest this summer.  If you are not attending either you can order one directly from us for only $2ppd!  Basically we are asking that you pay the shipping and that's it.  You can order it HERE.  If you order anything else from us you will receive a copy with your order.  Enjoy! - Jason.

The Rich White Males CD officially comes out on Tuesday June 2nd so if you haven't already ordered it from us directly run on over to www.interpunk.com and order it!  Newbury Comics will have it as well so if you live in New England pop in to one of their stores and grab a copy.  "Dispense This Too!" will be arriving sometime this week, so that will be available shortly.
I lowered the prices on a few of our releases to hopefully get rid of the last remaining copies we have.  "How To Stretch A Dollar", Whoopie Cushion, Plan B, Nothing Famous, and The Budgets CDs are all $4ppd and "Monsters Night Out" is now $6ppd.  You can still order both The Prozacs "Playing The Chords We Love" and "Monsters Night Out" for $10ppd. - Jason.

The Rich White Males disc has arrived!  Yes, that's right "We've Come To Kick Ass And Play Bubblegum" is here but the official release date is June 2nd.  It is up on the site to order if you please - who knows you might receive it before the release date.  You can order it HERE!  The inserts for the Los DiMaggios/Mcrackins split should be arriving on Monday - I'm excited and looking forward to seeing what the final product looks like.
"Dispense This Too!" will finally be coming out in the next couple weeks.  After nearly ditching the whole project altogether I retooled the whole thing.  It will now have a whole new track listing and will act as a label sampler.  We are only pressing 200 copies to start and it will be offered for free at this year's Insubordination Fest and the Going Nowhere Fest.  Copies will be available for mailorder and will only cost $2 (which is basically to cover the shipping).
We still have a few button packs that go along with the Grandprixx disc left but they seem to be going fast - so if you'd like one I'd suggest ordering one as soon as you can.  Later skaters! - Jason.

Here's a bit of a longer update... I shouldn't have hurried on the other one - I made a few mistakes (all of which I believe I have now corrected).  I had the name of The Rich White Males album written out wrong and I had Los Di Maggios listed as an Italian band when inf act they are from France.  Even though I knew they were from France I must have been confused at the moment - it was one of those days.  I seem to have a lot of those days lately.  Anyway, one of the new records that I failed to mention as well is a 7" for the band The Nappies.  I have been planning on doing a 7" for The Nappies since last summer and it looks like we are getting really close to having it complete.  The Sugar Eater 7" should be coming out soon along with another 7" that is a surprise.
I had briefly mentioned The Rich White Males album, for those not familiar with The Rich White Males they are a thrashy pop-punk band from San Diego (first left coast band on Cheapskate).  Those who have already picked up their 7" on Cabana 1 should really dig the full length CD.
Now for some bad news - Erika from Little Type (one of our distributors) passed away on April 2nd.  I had been holding off writing something about it on here because for awhile I didn't really know what I should write or say.  I still really don't know what to say.  I was floored by the news.  Even though I never got to meet Erika in person we did talk quite a bit through email and I had even asked her about meeting in person at Insubordination Fest in 2007.  She responded and told me that she was unable to attend but was sending Dr. Frank in her place.  She will be missed. - Jason.

I had planned on typing a really long update but I'm kind of pressed for time at the moment, so this one will be short and sweet (just like me, haha).  The Grandprixx "Prixxology" CD is finally here and is now available to order.  The first 50 orders will receive a button pack along with the CD.  You can order the Grandprixx disc HERE.  I tell it was worth the long wait.  We've got a bunch of new releases in the works including two split records with the Mcrackins.  We are excited to be working with those Canadian eggheads again.  The first record will be a split with The Prozacs entitled "Somebody Out There Loves Us."  The second is a split with French pop-punk band Los Di Maggios.  Both records are going to be killer!  We are also proud to add The Rich White Males to our line up - in June we will the release of their full length CD "We've Come To Kick Ass And Play Bubblegum."  More information on these releases and a few others coming really soon. - Jason.

It has been a long time coming but The Grandprixx "Prixxology" CD is finally on its way!  If everything goes according to schedule the 'prixx CD should be available in April.  I for one, cannot wait - the CD sounds great and the artwork looks great!  It is jam packed with 42 songs.  Stay tuned! - Jason.

Good news everybody!  The Lanterns "Postcard Picture" CD is done and we now have it in our possession!  I've added it to the site already so if you'd like to order it you can order it HERE.  I'm so glad Geoff Useless introduced me to The Lanterns, they have become one of my favourite bands.  I love the country twang in a few of their songs on the new EP.  Their songs are very honest to boot.  "Postcard Picture" might not be pop-punk per se but it is a damn fine release.
The Popsters "Our Bites Bring You Back" LP has also arrived and quite few fans have already order copies.  The gold records really look great, actually the whole package looks really really fantastic!  Very pleased with the way they turned out. -- Jason.

First update of the new year!  The Popsters "Our Bites Bring You Back" LP should be arriving next week!  Can't wait!  For all those that pre-ordered I will be mailing out your records once they arrive.  Speaking of The Popsters, there should be an interview with them in the latest issue of AMP Magazine.  Both The Manges "Rocket To Hollywood" LP and The Lanterns "Postcard Picture" CD have been sent off to be pressed.  We expect The Lanterns CD to be done by the end of Feb.  Excited about both of these releases!
We are now distributed by both Indie Pool and Diskery in Canada as well as Disk Union USA in Japan. - Jason.

I put The Popsters "Our Bites Bring You Back" LP up for pre-order.  The LPs haven't arrived yet but they should be here soon.  Feel free to order one now though - they will ship as soon as they arrive.  You can order the LP HERE.
I spent a good chunk of today updating the distro list so please check that out, we've got a lot of great records in there.  Every item now has an "add to cart" button. - Jason.

The Fake Boys "Pop Punk Is Dead" is here!  You can order it HERE - make sure that you do order it, it's a great CD!  "Pop Punk Is Dead" should be available on Interpunk within a week and it will also be available at Newbury Comics in the Boston area.  Speaking of Newbury Comics - in the coming weeks you should be able to find Cheapskate releases at Newbury Comics store all throughout New England.  If the store you stop in doesn't have the release you are looking for ask them about it - they should be able to order it.  More releases on the way! - Jason.

11/9/08
Another update.  Yes, there's lots going on around here.  We've got two brand new releases on the way - The Fake Boys "Pop Punk Is Dead" and The Prozacs "Playing The Chords We Love."  I know I've been talking about the Fake Boys CD for so long but the wait for its release is almost up.  It should be arriving at Cheapskate Manor around Nov. 21st.  As for the Prozacs disc, I know I haven't mentioned it really at all.  "Playing The Chords We Love" was originally slated to be released on another label but due to circumstances beyond their control they became unable to release it.  I offered to release the new Prozacs album and the rest is history.  The Prozacs "Playing The Chords We Love" will be released in Dec. 2008.
The Lanterns 7" has been upgraded to a CDEP.  The Lanterns recently recorded 6 songs - only 3 of which were going on the 7" we were planning on releasing.  The band would rather not split up the 6 songs so we've decided to release them all on one CD.  Hopefully The Lanterns "Postcard Picture" will be out early 2009.  The Grandprixx "Prixxology" CD and "Dispense This Too!" will be out soon, I swear. - Jason.

It's 7:30AM but I needed to post because there are some exciting things going on around here.  The Popsters "Our Bites Bring You Back" CD is here!  They arrived yesterday and are now available on the website.  You can go HERE to order it.  So if you like The Descendents, The Parasites or Big Drill Car be sure to check out the Popsters.  The LPs are in the process of being pressed but will not be ready until sometime in Nov.  The Fake Boys "Pop Punk Is Dead" is up next, which should be ready in Nov.
Issue #34 of AMP Magazine just hit the newstands and it contains an interview with The Guts.  Be sure to check it out, you should be able to find it at any Borders or Barnes & Noble.  Issue #35 should have an interview with The Mcrackins so be on the lookout for that in the coming months.  Get on board, man! - Jason.

9/9/08
I felt it was time for another post.  The Mcrackins album has been out for alittle bit now and it seems to be doing rather well.  If you haven't picked up a copy yet please do so.  It's a really good album and the reviews I've seen so far say that they have really gotten back to their old sound.  The Popsters "Our Bites Bring You Back" CD and LP have been sent off to be pressed.  We expect the CD to be done around Oct. 10th and the LP should be done sometime after that.  Speaking of the LP, we are pressing 500 total - 200 on yellow and 300 on black.
The Lanterns have recorded new songs for their 7".  They seem to be really excited about them.  The Grandprixx CD is finally coming along.  J Prozac swears it will come out this year!
A few new releases are in the works but more on that later. - Jason.

8/7/08
The Mcrackins "Eggzit" CD is finally here!  Or I should say it will be here today - it's on the UPS truck scheduled to be delivered.  You can order it HERE and I should be able to mail your copy out today.  It will be up on Interpunk, Punk N Junk and all those other sites next week or so.  Order the CD today, you won't be disappointed!
