THIS SATURDAY!

I had to make a third change to this show poster and I really hope its the last!. Robbie Cohen can't make it anymore so we asked DINOSAUR LOVE to fill in and we are all super excited about it because Rocky, Shawnte and I​ are all big Dino Love fans and MOOSEKNUCKLE SANDWICH fans! This show is going to rule! it's FREE! and it's early so if you got another gig that night you can probably still make it.

To get one of these BEST OF 2022​ mixtapes! All the money from these tapes goes to help pay legal fees for a Portland protestor who was essentially jumped by police.

Holiday Gift Ideas

12/2/2021

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.

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

BANDCAMP DAY IS HERE AGAIN!

100% of the sales from downloads on the Related Records Bandcamp page this weekend will be going towards Mutual Aid PHX. If you would just like to donate, I am doing a costco run for supplies on Saturday or Sunday, so you can send donations here this weekend and know that's where the money is going, I will show my reciepts on the Related Records Instagram stories. There is also still "Heat Is Murder" shirts available in sizes Small-3XL and all the money from these shirts goes towards this cause as well. Last month, I did a run & raised close to $500.

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...

Check out the following links and buy something today.

Today Human Behavior announces they are no longer a band/project. It bums me out but I get it. All good things come to an end.

That being said, I still have a ton of these kedumim CDs. So if you order anything from Related Records now and mention Human Behavior, I’ll throw in a copy for free. It’s their easily their best album. ​​

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 next digital compilation is called "Everybody's Looking At Their Phone"; we want this compilation to be more than just a digital comp, and we are trying to raise some money to release limited edition post cards and t-shirts with original artwork by David Bessent.
Everybody's Looking At Their Phone
Picture

First, is "Songs For Savages" by The Freaks of Nature. which will be officially released on May 16th, and will be available on CD and cassette.
