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..

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 [email protected] 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

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
