Just a quick update. We are now out of
The Copyrights "Mutiny Pop" LP. I'll
have to see if I can get more. I've
got a bunch of stuff, including the Kepi/Flav
split 7" coming from Squinty Joe's Records
in the UK - keep an eye out for that.
The new distro section will be up soon
enought. Get on board, man! -- Jason.

I figured it
was time for another update. All the
projects we have in works are coming along -
some are coming along slower than others but
it's all good. The Sugar Eater 7" is
all recorded and the band feels it's the
best stuff they've recorded thus far.
I was there when they recorded the title
track "SLP" and it definitly blows the older
version of the song out of the water.
The Fake Boys EP, titled "Pop Punk Is Dead"
is all recorded and sounds really great too!
I'm really excited about The Fake Boys EP -
they've really written and recorded a great
batch of songs.
We are working a few other new releases that
haven't been revealed yet on the website but
expect a big unveiling soon.
I've traded some records with labels
overseas and will be posting a new "Distro"
section on the website in the coming weeks -
so expect that soon as well. Stay
tuned. -- Jason.

Like I've
stated before, 2008 is going to be a busy
year for us here at Cheapskate Records.
I have now posted all the releases that we
are currently working on in the "Upcoming
Releases" section. The two big reveals
were the Rydells "Rock N Roll Is The Answer"
LP (our first LP very exciting!) and The
McRackins "Eggzit" CD. I am very
excited for both of these releases -
actually I'm excited about all the releases
we have coming out in 2008! It's
looking like 2008 is going to be big vinyl
year for us as well - we've got 3 records
coming out - the Rydells LP, the Sugar Eater
7" and a Guts 7".
The artwork for "Dispense This Too!" is
coming along and it looks really great!
We are working on a button set to go along
with the release of CD - the set will
consist of 4 different buttons, 3 of which
will be pez themed.
We are trying to make room for all the new
releases so we are, yet again, leaving the
Package
Deal up for awhile longer. As an
added bonus if you order one of the Package
Deals you will receive a fourth CD free.
The free CD will be one of our compilations.
The free CD doesn't just apply to the
Package Deal though - if you order CD,
record or shirt off our site you will
receive a free compilation CD. We are
running low on both the Leftovers CD and the
Johnie 3/Prozacs split CD so if you don't
already own them you might want to order
them now!
Get on board, man! - Jason.

Well it's
2008, which marks ten years for Cheapskate
Records. Yes, we started this whole
"thing" about 10 years ago! Where did
the time go? 2008 is going to be a
busy year for us, release-wise, we've
already got a bunch of great new records in
the works for the upcoming year. We've
decided to keep our package deal up for
awhile longer so we can make room for the
new inventory. Here's what we have
planned for 2008 so far:
V/A "Dispense This Too!" is coming together
really well. We've got a lot of great bands
lined up for it. Besides all the
Cheapskate standards we've got Lemuria,
Brainless Wonders, The Sheckies, The Jizz
Kids, The Apers, The Challenged and a lot
more lined up for it.
Sugar Eater "SLP" 7" - I just saw these guys
play on thursday and they get better and
better each time I see them. Their 7"
will feature the song SLP on one side and a
Tom Waits cover on the b-side.
We've also just added a new band to our
roster - The Fake Boys from Boston Mass.
They will be heading into the studio in
April to record a CDep for Cheapskate
Records. I also hope to get the
Grandprixx disc out this year along with a
few other surprises that we will be
releasing details on soon enough.
Hopefully we will have the "Pez Flag" shirt
back in stock as well. --Jason

Lots of big
things going on around here - some of which
I can't reveal just yet. I know it
seems like we've been sleeping for awhile
but we've got a lot of new releases in the
works some of which I've already mentioned,
some of which I will post information on
shortly. We have new T-shirts and
posters in stock now (you can find them on
the "catalog" page). The T-shirt is
our Skateboard logo (which appears on most
of our CDs) on a blue shirt. The
posters are in the shape of a broken
skateboard and were created by the very
talented Flyer Squad from Troy, NY.
Here's a little more information on the
posters - only 30 were made (we have the
first 25), all were/are hand printed, hand
cut, hand numbered and signed by the artist.
The sooner you order one the lower number
you will get.
"Dispense This Too!" is coming along - the
tracklisting is almost completed and will be
posted soon. It's going to be a good
one and should give you all a taste of what
we have coming out in the future. - Jason.

I know its been a long time since the last
update - too long right? Anyway, as
usual there's lots going on around here.
Right now the Leftovers, Johnie 3 and The
Prozacs are on tour. I will be posting
tour dates shortly. I've been working
on our next couple releases as well - a Vol.
2 for Dispense This! and a 7" for a band
from Saratoga called Sugar Eater. We
are still working the Grandprixx CD as well.
More of an update to come. - Jason.
