Amateur Party LP Shipping Now/First Capsule Song Posted!

2011-02-09T20:03:00.000-08:00

A Couple of killer things in this news letters including the release of our newest LP Amateur Party's Truncheons in the Manors, the debut of the first song off of Capsule's No Ghost LP, Updates on the Two Funerals and Worn in Red/Mouthbreather records, $3 CDS on the Rorschach Bandcamp, and a whole slew of new items in the distro

Amateur Party-Truncheons in the Manor is shipping now!

We are stoked to say that Amateur Party's new LP Truncheons in the Manor is shipping out now! You can order the record from the Rorschach Store and stream the whole record on Punknews.org or our Bandcamp. Here is a blurb about the LP:

Truncheons in the Manor is the first Lp by Philadelphia's Amateur Party in 3 years and their first full length ever. The band recorded 10 tracks with drummer Steve Roche between 2009-2010 to make this opus of an album. The band has an all-star line up of Philadelphia musicians that have played in Armalite, Off Minor, Kill the Man Who Questions and more but really stands on its own without a resume. Amateur Party Similar to their style reminiscent of Reggae Punk/Post Punk on their previous releases the band develops their sound even further to maker their best and most cohesive recording to date. Fans of The Jam, Minutemen, Ted Leo, and Late 80's Dischord bands take note, this record fits in perfectly with those of an older punk rock sound.

The final pressing numbers ended up being a little different than planed with 475 copies total, 108 on Clear and 367 on Black. This record is available in all Richmond record stores for under $10. Other stores/distros can order this directly from No Idea, ILC, or us directly!

Ultra Dolphins
Alien Baby

Pressing Info
400 Black
200 Glow in the Dark Vinyl

Years in the making Ultra Dolphins Alien Baby is finally seeing the light of the day. Recorded throughout 2009 by Steve Roche at Permanent Hearing Damage, Alien Baby is 9 sweet new Ultra Dolphins tracks. If you are unfamiliar with Ultra Dolphins, they have been playing around Virginia for almost a decade now, playing a unique style of tunes that could be pin pointed as post hardcore, but stands alone as its own entity. Art was done by the bands long term friend Travis Robertson, and all print was done locally in Richmond. The band last released Mar on Robotic Empire in 2006 and this is their first new material since.

Also we are going to keep the order package of Field Day/Ultra Dolphins!
You can check out songs from Alien Baby here

Brainworms will be playing their last show August 21st, at Hadads Lake for Best Friends Day.

The Two Funerals to release Boy's Club 7"

We are stoked to announce that we will be releasing Richmond's The Two Funeral's new 7", called "boys' club". Dominique Montgomery and Shannon Le Corre, longtime members, will be joined by Kyler O'Brien(Field Day,Flechette) on bass. The band will be recording soon for the record and it will be out late fall/early winter.

The band started in Blacksburg in 2004, with original members Shannon, Dom and Abby, while in high school. Since their inception, the band has written tight, catchy punk songs that are unafraid to be feminist, political and personal. Their last 7", Tell Yr Story, was released in 2008 on Cottage Records, and will be contributing a track to the Women in Punk Rock Comp on Paper+Plastick later this year.

The Status of Things

2009-07-17T10:04:00.001-07:00

It's been a couple of months since we have had something worthy or a hefty update and here it is. We have a new repress of a Brainworms record. News on upcoming releases, new distro additions and more stuff. Be sure to also check out our facebook. That is being updated more frequently and becoming more relevant.

First Up:

We have a Brand New Pressing of the Brainworms Tubers Split in our store. This duder is available on white vinyl limited to 400 copies!

Here is what we said about it last year-
Saint Augustine, Florida in the summertime can be a magical place. A weekend spent there can create twenty years good memories hanging out in the hot Floridian sun with your friends. One moment you're hanging out at your friend's lake house drinking beers doing relay races and in a snapshot, you're playing volleyball cockfighting style on a tarp wet, slippery from dish detergent. For the working man, the summer season is over. Somewhere deep within the northern woods, a trail crew is wrapping up its season with a final all night from dusk 'til dawn rager. Multiple handles of Jack are consumed; PBR freely flow out of cans into mouths, hair, and the ground. People exploit tiki-torches to spit fire igniting a gasoline-soaked chair nestled in the middle of a yet to be started bonfire. Young men and women with shaved mohawks are burning things they don't need anymore like clothing, equipment, and/or facial hair. This is one of those parties where drunk people with an acute attraction for wrestling and making a lot of noise get sweaty with pick axes. Young people are getting weird in the woods and not thinking about tomorrow. As the summer fades to fall, Brainworms sets up to be the houseband. The underground railroad from St. Augustine to Richmond, VA finally comes to listeners in the form of Tuber's split with the almighty Brainworms. Having years of friendship and numerous 12 hour drives built up over time, it only seems natural to have these two bands come together to commemorate friendship and make peace with alligators, whatever that means." --Jeff Beyers

You can score copies of this on White Vinyl from Rorschach and Bakery Outlet!!!

Secondly some news on upcoming releases

The Snacktruck Spacial Findings 1-7 CD should be available come Best Friends Day. This will probably be one of the last CDs we do for awhile but feel that this record is so good in its entirety that it is totally worth putting on cd. There record is already available on Itunes, if you haven't checked out Snacktruck out, visit them here

Ultra Dolphins have finished their new full length with Steve Roche(Brainworms, Pink Razors, The Catalyst, every Richmond band, ect.) This record should be getting mastered in the next couple weeks and we will drop a track around then! Expect this on LP sometime this fall, Exotic Fever will be handling the CD version.

Field DayThis band Fucking Rules! One of the best new bands in Richmond as of late we liked them so much that a 7" is in the works, regardless if you have heard of them or not. They will be going up North to play a few dates next month and record with Steve Roche. Expect some version of this 7" out by the Fest. If you like Snacktruck, Brainworms, and Antlers, Field Day falls right in the middle of all of those bands, check them out here!

Also you can expect new pressing of the Mouthbreather/EYC split and Brainworms II: Swear to Me LP by the end of the year.

Keeping up with the digital age we have started to put our entire catalog on Itunes, Amazon, Emusic, ect. At the current moment you can score the following releases:

Snacktruck - Spacial Findings 1-7

The First Rorschach Shirt

2009-06-25T11:27:00.001-07:00

In discussions of tight stuff, the idea was brought upon of a giant centipede destroying Richmond landmarks by our buddy Barf Callahan. Barf had never drawn a centipede and it seemed like the perfect animal for him to create. Deciding what to use this for was the problem would it be a 7-inch cover, a poster, ad, ect. In the 3 years of being a label people have always asked why don't you make T-Shirts. Well here you go the first Rorschach T-Shirts and since it is our 3 year Birthday in July we will be giving 5 of these out to the first 5 People to name 10 out of the 11 Richmond Landmarks in the shirt. The first one who can find all 11 Landmarks will get a copy of every record we have put out that is still in stock! Please email all answer to rorschachrecords@yahoo.com.

Also on a side note on a note we are super stoked to announce that one of our previously vinyl only releases is now available on Itunes. The Catalyst/Brainworms split 7" is now on Itunes. This has been one of our favorite releases to date and very few of these records are left. Check it out

Brainworms II: Swear to Me - CD

After numerous splits, compilations, and tapes Brainworms have created their first full studio album Brainworms II: Swear To Me. Comprised of 10 tracks recorded by Steve Roche (Pink Razors, Off Minor, Armalite,ect.) last fall. Catchy yet still keeping it integrity in the vein of bands such as Rites of Spring/Embrace, Assfactor 4, and more Swear to Me proves to be the bands best effort yet . For those not familiar with the band these guys have spent time in bands such as Stop It, Snacktruck, and Landmines and this is the 2nd record to feature new guitarist Josh Small. The layout of this record was crafted out of clay by Drew Liverman, who designed Brainworms' previous LP Which is Worse. At this time the record is now available on Vinyl, CD,in our store or Itunes If you would like to score Which is Worse and Swear to Me, there is a special in the store where you get both for $14ppd.

Oh Snap Something Relavant

2009-04-30T14:47:00.000-07:00

Two things of interest.

1.We have added a new Snacktruck song entitled Life Prism from the upcoming cd version of Spacial Findings. The cd versions will feature the 4 songs from the 7" plus 3 additional songs recorded at the same time plus a bad ass remix. The record should be available on Itunes in the next couple of weeks and finally on cd this summer. Check it out here.

2.Brainworms II Swear to Me on CD is now in production. These guys will be out just in time for the bands upcoming European Tour with Antlers. The record is already available on Itunes and LP. For more info on Brainworms click here

New Records have arrived

2009-04-09T17:18:00.001-07:00

After months of delays, problems and every possible thing that could go wrong, go wrong, we have the finished product(s) of our two newest releases plus 2 brand new represses of some older records. If you want to skip the bullshit and score this stuff click here

First off we are super stoked to announce that our next vinyl release will be a new album by Richmond's Ultra Dolphins. The band released it's debut record Mar a year and a half ago on and this will be their first new material since then. The dudes have gone into the studio with Steve Roche at Permanent Hearing Damage in Philly and should be finishing up later this month so expect news on this in the coming months. Expect this guy to be out sometime later summer to early fall with the cd version being released by Exotic Fever. Also in the works is a LP discography containing all the early works of a certain Richmond band we love. And a split between 2 bands from the east coast and a split with our friends from another label which will rule.

Brainworms II: Swear to Me - LP

After numerous splits, compilations, and tapes Brainworms have created their first full studio album Brainworms II: Swear To Me. Comprised of 10 tracks recorded by Steve Roche (Pink Razors, Off Minor, Armalite,ect.) last fall. Catchy yet still keeping it integrity in the vein of bands such as Rites of Spring/Embrace, Assfactor 4, and more Swear to Me proves to be the bands best effort yet . For those not familiar with the band these guys have spent time in bands such as Stop It, Snacktruck, and Landmines and this is the 2nd record to feature new guitarist Josh Small. The layout of this record was crafted out of clay by Drew Liverman, who designed Brainworms' previous LP Which is Worse. At this time it is available on vinyl in our store or Itunes

The Pressing info is as follows
400 on Blue
200 on Black

Mouthbreather/Environmental Youth Crunch - Split 7"

Florida and Richmond Round 2, this time we have paired Richmond's Mouthbreather and Florida's Environmental Youth Crunch for one of our best splits yet. Spread out in the Northern part of Florida and sharing members with Tubers and Alligator, EYC have managed to drop 3 solid tracks of punk rock that lies somewhere in between traditional pop punk bands and Plan-It-X South bands. On the flipside Mouthbreather debut their first 2 new tracks since last years Thank You For Your Patience. These gentlemen were born from Wow Owls and The Set Up and play a form of hardcore similar to late 80's Dischord and Hot Snakes. This record was beautifully illustrated by Tyler Thomas and includes a digital download.

The Pressing info is as follows these came out in pretty wild colors:
199 Black
178 Orange
98 White
20 Brown
2 Cream Swirl
1 Grey

Ror-04 Pink Razors - First Degree 7"
Ror-06 Brainworms/The Catalyst - Split 7"
Alas we have what might be the final pressings of both of these records. Pink Razors is on Yellow this time matching nice with the artwork, these copies are limited to 150. Brainworms/The Catalyst is on a translucent Purple and is limited to 197 copies. I'm about 90% sure once these records are gone both are will be gone for good.

We also finally have everything up in our distro that has been in our hands for quite some time now.
