I just came on to make a quick update.  First post of the new year.  Not too much going on around here.  I would like to thank all the people who ordered the Holiday Pack - you all did your part with helping clear out some much needed space.  The Holiday Pack is no longer available (or at least it won't be available until next year), so like I always say, "You snooze, you lose."  There are plenty of copies of the two MCRACKINS split records, so if you haven't ordered them yet, please do so. - Jason.

That time of year is upon us again.  The holidays are coming!  In the spirit of things to come we've decided to offer a deal of 15 CDs for $15ppd.  The catch is you do not get to choose what CDs you get but if you've been sleeping on any of our releases this is a good way to get caught up.  To order our "Holiday Pack" just visit this PAGE.  We plan to keep this deal up until X-Mas rolls around. - Jason.

The Mcrackins/Prozacs split 7" and the Mcrackins/Los DiMaggios are now available for ordering.  The pre-order is over and all the folks who pre-ordered should be getting their records.  I added the CD version of Mcrackins/Los DiMaggios split to the website (courtesy of Dirty Witch Records). - Jason.

Both the Mcrackins/Prozacs split 7" and the Mcrackins/Los DiMaggios split 7" are done and are in the process of being shipped here!  I figured now is a good time to start the pre-order.  So get on board and run over to the catalog page on this site and order both of these records.  They are both well worth the price.
I seem to have way too many Cheapskate Records shirts in stock (in both blue and green) so I have slashed the prices on them - now they are only $5ppd (that's half off)!  These are very nice shirts that feature the broken skateboard logo on them. - Jason.

The Manges "Rocket To Hollywood" LP is complete and will go on sale tomorrow.  This live LP is a split release between three other labels - It's Alive Records, Squinty Joe Records, and Peabrain Records.  I'm so proud to have been a part of this release - the record turned out so good.  This is a must for any Manges fan.  You can order it HERE. - Jason.

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.
