In May of 2023 Related Records is going to be celebrating 10 years of being a record label! WOW! I know! incredible right?! I almost didn't make it! But this year I got a bunch of stuff planned and hopefully, all of these things happen! Anyway, here's this years tentative release schedule..
Picture

FEBRUARY

New Sweatlodge // Shawnte Orion split 7" is being released on February 25th. Pre-Orders are going to start shipping on February 6th. All records come with a download code, Record will be available on bandcamp February 3rd for Bandcamp Friday!
Pre-Order

MARCH

New cassette tape from Hi My Name Is Ryan titled "Merry Go Round: A Live Tribute To Wild Man Fischer" This is a live recording I did for a punk rock Halloween show at the Yucca Tap Room in Tempe, AZ back in 2018. I closed out the night of local punk bands covering Black Flag, Cock Sparrer, Green Day...etc played to a mix crowd of 30-40 people who were either really into Wild Man Fischer or just wanted to drink after moshing all night. A couple moments the mood gets pretty tense because of this. Anyway, its an interesting document of this bizarre once in a lifetime type of performance, comes on Red+White tapes and includes liner notes from James Fella (from Soft Shoulder), Sonny DeCarlo (from Spirit Adrift) and Davin Abegg (from Secret Abilities) - because they are 3 of the people I know were in attendance.

APRIL

TESTIMONY VOLUME 3 will be released sometime in April. This is the first issue that will not be entirely curated by me. If you would like to submit something about your experience growing up in a particular faith, email me at majestic.ryan@gmail.com for consideration. Black and White pages preferred measuring 5.5"x8.5"
Deadline for submission is March 25th

Since the first thing ever released was Drunk & Horny "A Drunk & Horny Pool Party with Ryan & Andrew" and so many people thought so many of their songs are originals when only like... a quarter of them are... I decided to release a compilation currently titled "Songs Drunk & Horny Taught Us" which will be a collection of all the covers the band did over their 6 years career.

JUNE

HISTORY VOL. 2 - A Queer+Femme Tribute to 1960's U.S. Girl Groups is a project I have been working on for 4+ years but its finally coming together this year (fingers crossed!) featuring Crush Material, Sharing Is Caring, Quintron & Miss Pussycat, Dorian Wood, Mia Loucks, Dinosaur Love, Kylo Gun, Miguel Lares, Sassyhiya and more! If you would like to contribute something to this compilation let me know which song and give me some info on your project first. Email Me. Deadline for contributions is April 15th.

I really really hope the "Commercial Jingles" 7" by Quintron is ready by July because that is when him and Miss Pussycat are going on tour to play this years Mosswood Meltdown Music Festival.But who really knows anymore!? I placed an order for these records back in August, 2021 so we'll see. The record includes 4 commercial jingles for Quintron's different inventions and comes with a lenticular print that changes from Drum Buddy to Bath Buddy

WHAT ELSE???

Well at some point in the year there will be a Volume 2 of the Recherche compilation that will include unreleased tracks from Related Records (and Related Records adjacent) artists on CD, And a limited edition Lathe 7" for Fatty Cakes & The Puff Pastries featuring 2 brand new songs by them.And sometime in the fall I will be releasing a song-for-song tribute compilation to The House Martins "London 0 Hull 4" Record. If you would like to contribute something to that, let me know what song you would like to do, so I can make sure its not already claimed. Plus I plan on releasing a cassette tape featuring all the A-Sides and B-Sides from all of the Belle Stars singles. A new Zine from The Terri's!, at least 1 more season of The Best Friends Podcast, and 1-2 more issues of Testimony! AAANNNDDDD!!!! I should probably get back to releasing more cool/forgotten media on Heirloom Records

UNLIMITED SEMIOSIS VOLUME 2

It has been almost a whole year since the last FREE digital Related Records compilation, This one is pretty fun, especially for you artists who are needing an excuse to make music again while in isolation. I made an FAQ page all about this one, including info on how to contribute.

SALE TIME!

I should *fingers crossed* be getting the new Treasure Mammal "Grammy Nominated" LP in the mail in the next week or two. And that also means I need to make room for all these LP's in my tiny office. So I am offering 3 different sales for Vinyl, Tapes and CD's. You buy 1 item for $10.99 (or $20.99 if its a vinyl) and I throw in 3 extra records from the Related Records Catalog+Distro for free. These will be curated based on whatever you pick. PLUS will I throw in extras like stickers and download cards...etc

Finally finished the first (of hopefully many) digital compilations that pay tribute to a specific region and decade. The songs that are covered and re-imagined on here are really cool and (like every other compilation we put out) includes a wide variety of genres. Artwork by Later Operator.

1970s U.K. Compilation

Almost a year ago, I had the idea to do a compilation of songs from 1970s U.K. artists and I now that I have a grip of songs from friends and it is now looking more like a reality, I am finally putting some energy into this project. So far we have covers of the following artists: The Specials, T-Rex, David Bowie, Crass and Roxy Music. But there are so many other amazing artists to pay tribute to from this period of time and I want to hear them.
If you are interested in contributing something to this compilation, send your submissions or questions to majestic.ryan@gmail.com
The deadline is going to be June 23rd-ish and it will be released digitally for free on our bandcamp.

More info can be found on this Facebook Event Page

On August 10th those film makers show up at Ryan's house in downtown Phoenix and spend the next 2 weeks filming a feature length documentary and conducting interviews with Ryan's friends, family, peers and critics

PRAY FOR RAIN REVIEWS!

"This is a group of Bay Area weirdo rockers that sound like a friendly version of the BUTTHOLE SERFERS or if MR. BUNGLE wanted to perform for children. The mood of this album drifts back and both between chill stoner vibes and the terrifying experience of realizing you drank too much MD 20/20 and are in for a rough night of flailing and throwing up. The most exciting thing about this album is that I don't believe I've heard much that sounds like it, so it's a nice treat to experience something completely unique." - Maximum Rock N' Roll

"There's been a wave of modern psychedelic music the past few years, and we've been all for it. If you love psychedelia but hate the hippie vibes it usually entails, the new album from Oakland's Turqouiz Noiz is worth your time." - If It's Too Loud
​

" If you dig Garage/Punk with more than just a tinge of warped psychedelia then you may want to give this a listen." - Thee Psychedelicatessen

Related Records is over 3 years old now! To celebrate download this compilation of music we've released in the last year. Our Beastie Boys tribute compilation is finally finished and ready for download too!

We've got 3 new releases coming out in the next month too!

Human Behavior
First the new Human Behavior full length "Kedumim" which I gotta say is their best release so far. It comes out officially on September 2nd. You can pre-order a copy of it here. It will ship out August 29th. Vinyl release is available through folktale records.
The Pooches
Next is the first full length from The Pooches. I have been a fan of these guys for the past couple years and I was so excited when they approached me about releasing their new album on cassette. I special ordered olive green colored cassettes that turned out amazing! This album comes out officially on September 9th. You can pre-order it here. All Pre-orders will ship out on September 5th. Vinyl release is available through Lame-O records. This album has already received some great press from Impose Magazine and Stereogum.

The Funny Uncles
Then on September 19th we are officially releasing the debut release from the Drew Danburry/John-Ross Boyce project known as The Funny Uncles. This is over 100+ minutes of music spanning between 3 Red, White and Blue colored cassettes. The album will also feature a zine of amazing illustrations from John-Ross. His artwork is so cool! and I know everyone is going to want it. Related Records is pre-ordering a VERY limited number of these, you can order it here. Orders will be shipped out as soon as it's finished (which will probably be the first or second week of September) The rest of the copies of this release will be with the duo while they are on tour this fall go here for full tour schedule.

The Two new releases from James Kochalka are here!
Famey Cassette
First is Famey a 3-song sound collage made by James Kochalka back in 1991. Side B is the entire tape played in reverse.
Beautiful Man Cassette
Second is a formal cassette release of his 2012 master piece "Beautiful Man" which was previously only available online as a digital download. This album was recently reviewed by Vice magazine where they compared James Kochalka Superstar to Ty Segall and Mac DeMarco.James Kochalkas response was "who are they?"
Both releases are amazing and we are so excited to now have James Kochalka be a member of the Related Records family. You can buy them both in our webstore here.
We also finally released our most beautiful digital compilation to date Unlimited Semiosis Volume 1

Unlimited Semiosis is completely free and there is more info on each of the artists available if you click on the individual songs.

Related Records is officially over two years old now! Our first digital compilation of the new year is called "Unlimited Semiosis"

"This compilation is inspired by many things primarily Jean Molino's theory that all music is the result of Semiosis and by Splinter Cakes 2008 Masterpiece "Snapped" which you can listen to here

The concept of this album is simple steal another artists instrumental track and add lyrics/words to it. It can be any genre or from any period of time. You can add to the instrumental if you want but stealing the audio from another instrumental recording is the key ingredient to this project.

The deadline to send in your finished track is November 17th. Please send all of your songs in a .wav format to majestic.ryan@gmail.com

Have fun and please share this with other artists/musicians who you think would enjoy it."
