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.

july

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
Picture

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

THAT'S NOT ALL!!

Dinosaur Love enjoying some dino-related VHS I gifted them back in 2013 (i think?)
​My partner and I recently decided to downsize our VHS and DVD collection to make room for more art and Dominion game boxes. I was going to list them all on ebay or etsy or something (which i haven't sold stuff on in years) but the more I looked into it the more upset I felt because they have so many bullshit fee's. So I finally decided to just list them all on the Related Records website. I finally listed them all just a few minutes ago​, but I am thinking I might add some other stuff we are selling on here too like knick-knacks, art, kitchen stuff, vintage, clothes... I don't know. We'll see.

Polaroid photo of my friend Emily and I (aka The Best Friends​) at The Moonlight Market event
The Moonlight Market was wonderful, Related Records raised $110 for unsheltered phx from the sales of the Heat Is Murder T-Shirts. Even though it is barely April, we are already seeing some temperatures in the high 90's here in Phoenix.

Unsheltered Phx is an organization that is doing real work to help our houseless neighbors, providing them with coolers, tarps, storing their belongings when they get arrested for sleeping on the street, refilling their prescriptions, organizing protests, holding city council members accountable and providing information and updates on what the city of Phoenix is doing to either help or fuck over our community.

​So anyway, thanks for buying those shirts and supporting this cause, it means a lot.

Holiday Gift Ideas

I'm gonna speak candidly for a bit in this newsletter (ha! as if I am ever not writing every newsletter like a personal letter to a friend or some shit... ANYWAY!)

I hate holidays... all of them, even my birthday most years. BUT some people who are close stressed to me recently that I should take holidays more seriously and as a "business" I could/should use this holiday season to try and boost sales or something. So this newsletter is going to be all about my Related Records holiday gift suggestions.

And the reason this email is going out when it is, is because if you want to ensure you get something before "the holiday" you need to place your order before I go to the post office next on December 5th. 
Picture
THE FUNNY UNCLES "I've Been Drugged" T-SHIRT
​

This shirt comes in gold or white and features a large screen printed illustration from John-Ross Boyce from the Funny Uncles album "Writin' Songs" it includes a sticker with the same image/message and a download code for all 180 songs+jingles on the "Writin Songs" album
​
The other reason this is such a fantastic gift is because the sizing is inclusive of all adult bodies ranging from Small-6XL 
​(while supplies last)

BUY 1 GET 3 SALE!

I've done this before and people seem to enjoy it! So for the rest of the year 2021 I am offering these 3 different sales, which is a fantastic way to find out about new music or introduce someone else to some cool new music. OR maybe you have a loved one who just got a record, cassette and/or CD player and you want to give them a cool boost for their brand new collection!
​
Or maybe you have that one super weird friend that has an 8-track player and you want to surprise them with a new (as in made in 2015) 8-track! Check out this hidden/under rated gem. VARIOUS ARTISTS "Dick" 8-TRACK

MOOEY MOOBAU "LIVE BLOODY LIVE" CD

JACOB SMIGEL "The Carol Tapes" Cassette

I feel like the distro​ page is overlooked a lot and there is a ton of great stuff in there.
​
Maybe there is only 1-2 artists on Related Records that you like, when was the last time you checked out their artist page to see if maybe I have added something related to them for sale? The artists that have the most items to choose from are

Dinosaur Love

Fathers Day

Hi My Name Is Ryan

Human Behavior

Turqouiz Noiz / Sweat Lodge

Treasure Mammal / Taurus Daddies

Maybe you wanna get something for someone who is a loving/caring human being and they don't care so much about material things? Here are some items that Related Records has to offer that benefit other people/groups.
​
The HEAT IS MURDER t-shirt is $15.99 and all of that goes towards mutual aid supplies for the people of phoenix.It's available in Small-3XL
Picture
Picture
The "I Hope This Helps" mixtape is $20 and all $20 goes to unshelteredphx which is a mutual aid group that is working to decriminalize homelessness and provide supplies for our houseless neighbors in Phoenix, AZ.

The mix tape is compiled of punk music that has helped me throughout my life.

If you show me you have donated $20 or more to this group I will send this mix tape to you as well.

Only 5 left by the way.

This "Barnard Sanders is the 46th President of the United States of America"​ sticker is $5 and all the money gets venmoed to Black and Indigenous People.

The story behind this sticker is like an inside joke gone wild. From summer 2020-summer 2021 I had a website where I sold these stickers called 46thpresident.shop.
​
Anyway, I still have a ton of these, so I include them in orders, but continue to send Black and Indigenous people money monthly on Venmo.
Picture
Did you know that there is a "Send as a Gift" feature on bandcamp? Well there is, and it's great! i've used it a handful of times to send friends a single or an album that I think they would like and tomorrow (12/03/2021) is the last Bandcamp Friday of the year and possibly ever. on Bandcamp Friday, bandcamp waves all of their fees and gives 100% of the money to the artists. It rules, and it has really helped a lot of artists get through the last 2 years because so many governments all over the world have done such a shit job of taking care of their citizens during the pandemic (Which is still a thing by the way, what the fuck?!) Anyway, I pay out the artists on Related Records twice a year for digital sales and the next time I pay everyone is coming up later this month, so if you already own something digitally, this is a great way to support your favorite artists and get them some money this month. ​
Anyway, here is what people are listening to on the RR bandcamp

NEW RELEASE!

Picture
Barry is a 4 piece queer-pop group from London. I was introduced to them from friends/label-mates The Pooches and The Slugs! and I instantly feel in love! the music they produce reminds me of that glorious pop sound that was so popular in the early 2000's but yet so incredibly unapologetic for their weirdness and queerness in the most refreshing and pleasant way! The official release date is in December but we are hoping the records will be here sometime between October-November, but with the way vinyl is these days WHO REALLY KNOWS! it sucks! (I was originally quoted as them being done by August, then October so...) ANYWAY! check it out here! and pre-order the 7". also be sure to download their first EP which came out on Permanent Slump records in 2019

LOW STOCK ALERT!

  • 1 copy left of the "Let's (House) Party" cassette

Picture
Pretty much since the beginning of the Related Records label, Dimitri and Ryan from world famous band Golden Boots have been big supporters of the label, and for the past 2 years they have had their own radio show in Tucson+the internet called "Burning Brain Radio" and on that show they have continuously played Related Records artists. They have asked me to come up with a solid 20 minutes or so of music for this upcoming episode on Saturday August 14th and I just wanted to mention here that I am real excited about it because it is entirely made up new and soon to be released music from Related Records. So if you want a sneak peek at what is coming next for Related Records, be sure to tune in. I'll post about it on instagram​ for sure when it happens.

HEAT IS MURDER T-SHIRT

$15.99
Summer is coming and in Arizona that means lots of people (especially in the homeless community) will die and be severely harmed by the heat and the cities lack of support to help. Unsheltered PHX is trying to raise enough money to distribute 1,000 one gallon water coolers to the homeless population this summer. This organization also regularly provides tents and tarps for these people as well. So this week I'm making a push for ya'll to donate to them. Venmo: unshelteredphx and if you donate $20 or more and send me a screenshot of your payment, I'll make you a 40+ minute mix tape (I don't know whats going on these tapes yet, but I got a handful of blanks and i'm itching to make a new mix tape) PLUS!!! all sales made this week from the Related Records website will go towards this cause as well.
Here is a reminder to pick up one of the "heat is murder" t-shirts I listed for sale last year, only $16 and 100% of the money always going towards mutual aid in Phoenix, AZ

Hi My Name Is Ryan is going on tour... kinda

Picture
Back in December I requested the first two weeks of May off from my day job so Hi My Name Is Ryan could go on a little West Coast tour. Obviously that’s not happening now, so I am experimenting with a digital live-stream European tour with my friends from all over the world* Each show will start at 8pm CET (Central European Time) that is about 11AM on the west coast of the US and a few hours later if you’re in a different part of the US. This is also maybe an hour later if you are somewhere else in Europe. Time Zones are confusing so I’ll leave it up to you to figure it out for yourself.

Today is Bandcamp Day!

On March 20, 2020, Bandcamp waived their revenue share in order to help artists and labels impacted by the pandemic. The Bandcamp community showed up in a massive way, spending $4.3 million on music and merch—15x the amount of a normal Friday— helping artists cover rents, mortgages, groceries, medications, and so much more. It was truly inspiring.
But the pandemic and its impact on the music community aren’t over, so today, as well as on June 5, and July 3 (the first Friday of each month), Bandcamp is waiving their revenue share for all sales on the platform, from midnight to midnight PDT on each day.

​If you wanna help...

DINOSAUR LOVE

"Dinosaurs Have Feelings Too" is finally here!
Picture
Picture
Dinosaur Love is the solo project of Peter Kulikowski . I first saw him perform these adorable Dinosaur Songs when he was 19 years old and just out of Art School. I thought “this kid is going to grow out of this and that’s a real shame” So I put out his first album “Dinosaurs Attack!” the next year thinking that would probably be the end of it. But that was definitely not the case, the same year he recorded and released a Christmas album “Have a Dino Christmas” and then the following year wrote a brand new dinosaur song each week for an entire year. You can see and hear these songs on his bandcamp, some of them are mind meltingly bad as you can imagine but others are so smart and clever. Then in 2017 Related Records released is extremely complicated concept album “The Gospel” songs about the Illuminati hiding dinosaurs from us, Jesus was a dinosaur, dinosaurs fought in World War 2… lots of conspiracy theories and religious shit going on, on that album. “Dinosaurs Have Feelings Too” is a much simpler, catchier take on songs about dinosaurs, obvious influences from Brian Wilson and early Flaming Lips. Pretty much all love songs on this album and I am sure is going to be a hit this Valentine’s Day.
Limited edition cassette. (50 blue / 50 pink)
Official Release Date: 02/14/2019

PRE-ORDERS AVAILABLE NOW!

best of 2017 mix cd

The first 10 orders from the Related Records catalogue placed this year will receive a physical copy of this mix CD in their order. Click here to shop.
Dear Nora - Mountain Rock (Reissue) – Orindal Records

Dear Nora
"HUNG UP"

Mountain Rock (Reissue) – Orindal Records

This is the first album I really got into this year. I don’t normally include reissues on my best of lists but this had to be an exception. I have listened to this album easily 80 times (at least) this year. I feel really lucky I got to see Dear Nora so many times this year too, every time was perfect.
Mia Loucks

mia loucks
"step mom"

Previously Unreleased

Despite not releasing anything this year, Mia Loucks has actually recorded and sent me about a dozen new songs (including this one) in 2017 and they are all wonderful. I really hope she puts out more music soon.
Mary Ocher - Faust Studio Sessions And Other Recordings – Klangbad Records

MARY OCHER
"across red lines"

Faust Studio Sessions And Other Recordings – Klangbad Records

Mary Ocher actually released 2 albums in 2017. The Faust Studio Sessions… album is more of a B-Sides album but I really enjoyed it and Related Records is re-issuing it on cassette later this year.
Fishboy - Art Guards - Lauren Records

fishboy
"former performance artist"

Art Guards – Lauren Records

I feel like “Art Guards” should have been on everyone’s end of year list. This is easily my favorite album of 2017. The whole thing is written like a really beautiful/complicated storyline movie script with every character and story coming together in the end. Like, I cannot stress this enough, listen to this album and I know you will love it. I wish I put it out
Paul Arámbula - A Bit Of Both

paul Arámbula
"weight of the world"

A Bit Of Both – Self Released

I’ve been a fan of everything Paul does and I am really happy he finally put out a full length album this year of his weirdo/minimal keyboard music. This is my favorite one on the album and actually the longest song on the album, it’s over 11 minutes long
Escape-ism - Introduction To Escape-ism - Merge Records

escape-ism
"the stars get in the way"

Introduction To Escape-Ism – Merge Records

This might be my favorite thing Ian Svenonius has ever done. It feels unlike anything he’s done before but you listen to it and you’re like “oh wow this is so Ian Svenonius” it’s minimal, it’s raw, its tough, it sounds old, it feels brand new, and like everything he does it’s so fucking cool!
Jack Topht - We Can’t Go Back Now – Cold Rhymes Records

JACK TOPHT
"Coffee Shop In The Hospital Lobby"

We Can’t Go Back Now – Cold Rhymes Records

The album this is on is more of a compilation or “greatest hits” for Jack Topht. You see this is the first legit release the dude has had. Everything he has released before this was on a CD-R or home recorded cassette tape.
Clit Kat - Clit Kat Worldwide – Penniback Records

CLIT KAT
"nice Club"

Clit Kat Worldwide – Penniback Records

My favorite punk band in Los Angeles right now. DANG! These kids are wild! They have been around since 2014 and this is their first full length release. It rules, they play the smell in LA all the time. Go see them sometime and go crazy.
Man Hands - The New Malaise

man hands
"losing my shit"

The New Malaise – Self Released (but should be out on Slope Records soon.)

Losing My Shit is on the 3rd Man Hands album and I think it’s their best. It was supposed to come out in 2017 officially on Slope Records but it was delayed for a bunch of dumb reasons so the band made a handful of CD-R’s and started selling the new album at their shows this year.
The Chats - Get This In Ya

the chats
"bus money"

Get This In Ya – Self Released

These dudes are from Australia and they rip - simple, dumb, fun punk music written by poor 17-18 year olds kids in the sunshine coast. My spouse introduced them to me later in the year, I downloaded their two EP’s and cannot get enough.
The Younger Lovers - Young Brothers – Southpaw Records

The Younger Lovers
"If You Send For Me"

Young Brothers – Southpaw Records

Pretty much any project that came out of the early 2000’s disco-sex-rock group Gravy Train I am a huge fan/supporter of. Younger Lovers rule, this new album is a lot mellower than the others and comes across as more sincere and romantic than their previous albums and I love it.
El Googly Diablo

EL GOOGLY DIABLO
"Frogs"

Self Titled – Self Released

I work with 3/4s of the members of this band at my day job. They are all old mid-late 90s punk guys and have been playing in bands together forever. The thing I like the most about El Googly Diablo is the lack of attitude/image, it’s just pure friendship rock n roll
JJCNV - Mono or Mono – Flap Fjord Records

JJCNV
"Bones Make Good Coals"

Mono or Mono – Flap Fjord Records

What can I say? When it’s good, it’s good. They recently added a horn section and I think it adds a lot. Their new album is solid and creepy.
Exxxtra Crispy - They Don’t Think It Be Like It Is But It Do – TVLIFE Entertainment

EXXXTRA CRISPY
"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ME?"

They Don’t Think It Be Like It Is But It Do – TVLIFE Entertainment

MAAAAAAANNNN Exxxtra Crispy is my favorite band to come out of 2017. Easily the most refreshing thing I’ve heard recently and they like to get wild live. Austin (or I guess he goes by Ricky now) Is such a great front man and sax player and the rest of the band is really tight as well.
Drunk & Horny - Under The Cover with Ryan & Andrew – Related Records

DRUNK & HORNY
"I HOPE WE BREAK UP"

Under The Cover with Ryan & Andrew – Related Records

This is a cover of a GST Mugwump song that was recorded in 2015. In 2017 Related Records released a sort of B-Sides album for D+H & right before it was released D+H decided to go on a hiatus. So this song is kind of ironic to hear now, but it’s also my favorite song on the album.
Matt Wixson - Homophobin’ Single

MATT WIXSON
"HOMOPHOBIN'"

Homophobin’ Single – Self Released

I’ve wanted to hear a song calling out ska homophobia for a couple of years now (at least since 2015 when the ska band Be Like Max harassed & bullied my friend for being gay online) I don’t know this Matt Wixson guy but I am really happy he wrote this song, I hope I see more of this in 2018
Jaime J - FGGTFAILUR

JAIME J.
"ARE YOU CIRCUMCISED?"

FGGTFAILUR – Self Released

FGGTFAILUR is the first full length release from my longtime friend Jaime, he’s been doing this electronic, sexy, angry, performance art project since 2005 and I am so happy this exists.
Cult Of The Yellow Sign - Top Of The Pile

CULT OF THE YELLOW SIGN
"BLIZZARD WIZARDS"

Top Of The Pile – Self Released

Like so many other artists on this mix, Cult of the Yellow Sign has been around for such a long time and just never released anything legit until this year. If you are a fan of vaudeville, nerdy shit, gameboy music or the occult I highly suggest checking them out.
Dinosaur Love - Demos That Got Stuck In The Tar

DINOSAUR LOVE
"MY PET T.REX"

Demos That Got Stuck In The Tar – Self Released

Dinosaur Love was really busy this year. In April Related Records released the full length album “The Gospel” and recorded a second full length album that should come out in 2018. They also released a collection of demos that didn’t make it & I think it’s some of their best work.
Cookie Tongue - Orphan Arms

COOKIE TONGUE
"CLEAR BOOK"

Orphan Arms – Self Released

I saw this freak folk duo in 2014 and bought their album Biotic Rituals and it was one of my favorite albums of 2014. This new album features a lot more members and gets even freakier and more conceptual. Very classic performance art type shit that I love.

Sorry for the lack of updates on the website, in July my house flooded and so all website updates have had to be on hold until today when things are finally (almost) back to normal. In the meantime we have released a bunch of new and excellent things. you can listen to most of them onour bandcamp page and buy everything from our web store!

NEXT UP! we have the first full length from the deserts biggest dinosaur lover "DINOSAUR LOVE!"

This will be officially released onJanuary 28th! but you can pre-order the cassette tapes now and get them sometime in the beginning of the new year. a limited edition CD version will be available too before the month of January is over.

Then in February we should finally have something from the amazing Serene Dominic!

and in March we are releasing a special limited edition US only copy of Mary Ocher's album "Eden" on cassette tape. Mary Ocher is from Berlin and will be visiting the USA for the first time ever in February for a full US tour, but more info on all of this stuff later! The rest of the website will be updated over the next couple of days. Thanks for being patient and supporting this whole thing.
