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.

NEW BENEFIT MIX TAPE!

This is the seventh release in a series of mixtapes I am making to help benefit different people who are in need right now. Tapes will be available for only 1 month and at the end of that period of time, all the money Made from those sales will go to the person in need. This time all the money is going to a protestor who was essentially jumped by police officers in Portland a couple months ago. The money is going to help with their legal fees.

This person would like to remain anonymous, so the only thing I am able to share is this video of the altercation from twitter.

If you want to donate directly to them, you can donate here. or send funds to $protestpapi on Cashapp or Venmo and let them know the money is for their friends legal fees.

This mixtape is made up of songs I really like that came out in 2022.
​
Related Records artists featured on this tape include QUINTRON & MISS PUSSYCAT'S new side project/character BOBBY M.G. & THE QREEPS, Daniel Shircliff (THE FREAKS OF NATURE) + Anne Seletos (CHERIE CHERIE) short lived gospel garage rock two-piece THE CHRISTIAN FAMILY, BARRY side project featuring 1/2 of the BARRY band SASSYHIYA, and U.S. HIGHBALL which of course features Calvin and James from THE POOCHES
Get It!

BENEFIT MIX TAPE RE-ISSUES!

I did a poll recently on the Related Records instagram​ and got a pretty big response in favor of offering older benefit mix tapes again. So I made a few.

RELATED RECORDS 2023!

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.

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

NEW SWEAT LODGE // SHAWNTE ORION SPLIT 7"

1/5/2023

Comments

 
Picture
This 7" has literally taken years to complete and I am so excited it's finally ready for pre-order! Rocky (from Sweat Lodge / Turqouiz Noiz, Skinwalkers, Rocky's Frybread fame) has been playing and organizing shows with Shawnte Orion (Phoenix poet/photographer/artist who recently published the book "Gravity & Spectacle") for 20+ years now.

10 years ago Sweat Lodge recorded the songs featured on their side of this 7". They were going to be released by another "cooler" label that went out of business within a year or so but they at least got these songs and this cool music video out of it. Meanwhile they released their debut full length "2013" on Related Records and then got hit with a potential lawsuit from this other Sweat Lodge band made up of greasy, long haired, white dudes that only lasted 3-4 years before going on "indefinite hiatus" (aka break up!) So Rocky, Rachel and Adam changed their name to Turqouiz Noiz  > Adam moved away and Brendan joined the band and then they released 2 excellent LPs (Sweat Lodge + Pray For Rain) on Related Records.

Almost 2 years ago (20 months to be exact) I placed an order for these records to be pressed and due to there being less than 100 vinyl pressing plants, one of the major factories that does vinyl platting burning down, and major labels paying extra money to push small label releases back so their releases get top priority.... it took this long but they are finally here and look so beautiful!

The official release date isn't until the end of February, because we are still waiting on the finishing touches (jackets & stickers) but the turnaround time on those is just a few days-weeks so these will start shipping out probably in the middle of February.

​Now for the extra exciting news about this release! It looks like the original 3 piece lineup of Sweat Lodge will be reuniting for the album release show at Stinkweeds in Phoenix on Saturday, February 25th (more info on this show later, since we literally JUST confirmed this date with everyone) and then doing a week long tour up to San Francisco with Shawnte Orion! (more info on this as we get more confirmed dates, if you can help with some AZ [in like bisbee or flagstaff] and CA [in like los angeles, sacramento, fresno...etc] dates hit up Rocky on Instagram) and THEN Shawnte Orion is going to be performing in the Pacific Northwest and will have records and books and zines with him!
Get It!
