- SOUL CONTROL “Like Spiders”
PRE ORDERS + NEW PACKAGE DEALS ON THE
WEBSTORE!
I hate putting up preorders for records when I have
no idea how long the pressing is actually going to take, but it looks
like this is finally month or so away from completion. That said,
muthah fuckin’ SOUL CONTROL kid. Get into it. Providence is pissed.

To back up a little, the band announced a few months ago that they
were doing a four 7″ single series and this is the third one
of them to be put up for pre order. The song on this record is “Like
Spiders” and it features SC’s patented choppy melodic riffage.
The track is brimming with sincerity and rocks a sick half time part
that’s guaranteed to move the pit hard.

Since I can never take the easy route, I put up three different packages
for all you true vinyl warriors to choose from. For $12 the first
30 dudes to hop on this shit get the record on both colors with a
TEST PRESS. Next up for $8 is the 7″ on both colors (black and
clear with black haze). And finally, in these tough financial times,
I understand that not ever one wants a gold dipped 7″ individually
kissed by each band member. For those dudes (and please believe, I’m
one of them) you can choose either color of the 7″ for the classic
punk rock price of $4.

Order now or be bummed on
ebay later.

—————————————————————————————————————————————

LIMITED TIME PACKAGE DEALS!

While
I was adding the SOUL CONTROL records to the TDB Webstore I decided
to toss up package deals for some of my other records. Check out the
“PARTY PACK” featuring COCTOPUS and RAMMING
SPEED for the low price of $15 along with the “PIT PACK”
with DIE YOUNG and DRAW BLOOD for only $12.50!

I don’t have anything witty to say regarding economic stimulus, but
if you want to waste money on shitty music this is the best time to
do it.

- RAMMING SPEED “Brainwreck”
Out Now / Updates on TDB Roster

RAMMING SPEED “BRAINWRECK” CD RELEASE
+ US TOUR + LINE UP

What stinks of beer, has 10 legs, and has more hair then black flag
in their hippy faze? RAMMING SPEED DOES. I’m proud to announce
that BRAINWRECK, the debut CD from the Boston thrash troupe is OUT
NOW. RS are hitting the road from September 19th through November
7th to support the record and will be spending the 7 weeks ripping
through the entire USA. Of course nothing ever goes off without a
hitch…master shredder Kallen “Flowers” Bliss will
be missing the first month of tour due to ass surgery (I wish I was
kidding) and in his place Derek “The bass player” Cloonan
will be stepping up to the task of second guitar. But who is playing
bass you ask? None other then Phil “I’m still on probation
from the last Ramming Speed US tour” (I still wish I was kidding).
You may know Phil from such bands as Bones Brigade and Coctopus. Last
time this maniac filled in for a band it was with fucking Cut the
Shit in Europe. Home boy learned 18 songs before even playing a note
with the rest of the band when he touched down in the MIDDLE of their
Euro tour. In any case, he plays the same bass as Lemmy. Also, he
rips, and so will this tour. Party to this CD before all your friends
do.

“Fans of classic acts like Napalm
Death, Slayer, Discharge, and Testament and time-tested activities
like eating pizza and drinking beer will find a lot of good times
in Ramming Speed’s amalgam of thrash, grindcore, and punk. If you’re
going to revive old musical styles and pay homage to the classics,
you better make it feel authentic and you better make it entertaining.
And luckily, Ramming Speed has done just that.” – Lambgoat.com

SOUL CONTROL 7”

As previously announced, in the coming months four labels
are coming together to each release a Soul Control single. Last
year Soul Control put out one of the most refreshing hardcore CD’s
I’ve heard in a super long time with their Involution disc.
This year TDB is extremely privileged to press a one sided 7”
single for the new song “Like Spiders”. I don’t
have any pressing info yet (besides that it’s going to be
around 500 copies), but I’m talking to a couple of different
plants to get the best price and sickest color. Stay tuned and check
these dudes on tour in the coming months.

—————————————————————————————————————————————-

DIE YOUNG TOUR

Die Young (TX), a band that has toured harder then almost
any other hardcore act in recent years are unfortunately gearing
up to throw in the towel. Obviously road dogs like this wouldn’t
go out with a whimper, they go out with a tour. Dudes will be doing
a small handful of US shows and a European tour before calling it
quits. I still have copies of their last LP on BOTH colors which
you can pick up either from the band or from the TDB site (http://tdbrecords.bigcartel.com).

Tour dates here: http://www.myspace.com/dieyoungtxhc

—————————————————————————————————————————————-

ENGINEER BOOKING SHOWS

Engineer, who have maintained a relatively low profile
as of late, are working on new material and taking booking offers.

Get in touch here: http://www.myspace.com/engineercooldude

—————————————————————————————————————————————-

TIDES WRITING NEW MATERIAL

Tides, a band that writes music as slowly as they perform
it, have been crafting new songs for the first time in over a year.
They have two or three new ones and will be entering the studio
in a couple of weeks to start laying down demos. All I can say is
look forward to some darker angrier shit from a band that has made
a name writing beautifully crafted, pensive jams. This shit seriously
rules and if you’ve caught them lately your neck definitely
still hurts.

—————————————————————————————————————————————-

FRUIT SALAD VIDEO

Boston hardcore punkers Fruit Salad have a new video up
on Youtube which is a mishmash of songs from their TDB 7”
Bloodpower.

You can check that out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kdKBiAxSHY

—————————————————————————————————————————————-

COCTOPUS UPDATE

Coctopus are going to begin demoing new material and allegedly
start booking tour dates outside New England in the near future.
We’ll believe it when we see it. Blake now lives in New York,
so I’d keep an eye out for anything made of glass and a side
show bob looking dude at upcoming tri state house parties.

—————————————————————————————————————————————-

HATS AND GLASSES LINE UP

Hats and Glasses have changed line ups once again. This
time instead of switching up guitar players, the band have decided
to give up completely on a third member. Drummer/singer/keyboard
player Elliott Chaffee has moved from his seated position to become
a 6 string slayer and the band now use a tape loaded with drum beats
and keyboard bleeps as the backing band. Supriya Gunda still lays
down the heaviness on bass and the duo have been leaving the Boston
indie scene scratching it’s head and shaking it’s butt.
Check their myspace page for mostly local shows in the coming weeks.

http://www.myspace.com/hatsandglasses

————————————————————————————————————————————–

That’s all for now folks,
thanks for sticking with me! I have no idea what the end of 2008
will hold for TDB, but hopefully its selling records, cause that
shit hasn’t really been happening lately. Come say what’s
up to me on the Ramming Speed tour!

7.6.08
- SOUL CONTROL Join TDB Records family
Soul Control are a hardcore band based out of Providence Rhode Island.
I like them a lot, and in a nice turn of events, will be helping release
a 7″. Here’s the official word from the band:

Friday, July
4, 2008

Soul Control to Release Four 7″ Project

Soul Control will be heading into The Getaway Group with Jay Maas
on July 16th to record 4 brand new songs. Each song will be released
on a 1song/1sided 7″, each on a different label. The covers
of all 4 records will come together to form one larger image. The
following labels will be releasing one 7″ each and will be
handling their own pre-orders/orders:

Triple B Records
- http://www.triple-brecords.com

Teenage Disco Bloodbath (TDB) Records - http://www.tdbrecords.com

Hex Records - http://www.hanginghex.com

Dead But Dreaming Records (aka RichG) - http://memoriesinpixels.blogspot.com

First pressings
of each will be about 500 copies and each label will be deciding
how many/what colors etc etc. When we have final order info we’ll
post it in our blog.

We came up with
this idea while on tour in June and we’re very excited that things
are working out how we envisioned. Everything is moving swiftly
and the records should be out rather quickly (barring unforeseen
circumstances).

We will be doing
some touring in support of the 7″ Project starting in August
into September. Dates/Info will be available when we have it. Unfortunately,
due to the ever popular (unpopular) financial woes, we were forced
to cancel our European Tour which was supposed to happen in August.
We’ll do what we can to try and make it back overseas this year.
We’ll use the time wisely and will be doing a lot more touring in
the US and we’ll write and record the first proper full length.

- ENGINEER
THE DREGS 12″ // OUT NOW

With
as much fanfare as a web update can possibly muster, I am extremely
proud to announce that ENGINEER’s The Dregs 12” is OUT NOW.
This record is incredibly powerful and matched with new artwork
and ultra heavy vinyl. I couldn’t be happier with the release. Record
collectors and fans of heavy music in general should rejoice over
this epic slab of noisecore. 10 tracks of animosity and rage, dripping
with distortion, reverb and backed by a thunderous rhythm section.

As a quick recap:

-180
Gram vinyl

-Translucent orange with black haze wax

-Heavy upgraded cardboard covers with full color and spot gloss
printing

-Full color insert

-Enough intensity to break your record player in half

$11, on sale now. Don’t fear the reaper.

4.23.08 - ENGINEER
PRE-ORDERS - SOLD OUT // TIDES PACKAGE
DEALS ON WEBSTORE

Well, this isn’t much of an announcement, but for anyone curious,
the ENGINEER preorders were put online and sold out
less then 48 hours later. The release date for the record was going
to be the second week in May, but seeing as I have them already, I’m
going to send out the preorder packages as soon as I get the limited
Tshirts in, and get the records out to stores a week later and online.
So basically, this will be coming out asap.

In an effort to do some spring cleaning in my office, I’m doing cheap
package deals on some of the TIDES records. Obviously
this band rules, and obviously if you like one of there records, you’ll
like them all. Help me clear some space and pick up cheap music while
the sale lasts! In
the coming weeks I’ll be adding more packages to the webstore that
will include deals for all my LPs, 7″s and more. I’m honestly
not sure how long I’ll leave these up for, but it wont be indefinite,
I know that much, so buy while the buyin’ is good.

3.28.08
- TIDES/GIANT SPLIT //
ENGINEER RECORD UPDATE
// PERTH EXPRESS REVIEWS
// RAMMING SPEED RECORDS, TOUR ETC…

TIDES/GIANT
SPLIT

As you may have noticed entering this site, the new TIDES/GIANT split
CD is OUT NOW. This project has been in the works for over a year
and represents the collaboration of two great bands and two solid
labels. Co-released with Level Plane records this CD is in stores
all over the country (world?) and probably has better distribution*
than anything I’ve done so far. Its really exciting to have stayed
working with Tides for all these years now and watch them step things
up to the next level. On the same note, Its wonderful to work with
Giant for the first time, a band made up of truly good people passionate
about the music they create.

The
packaging was done by Stumptown Printers (the same people that did
the Perth Express package) and once again it looks great. All black
and red with letter pressed text on the cover and back cover. The
recordings are both extremely lush and deep sounding. All in all,
front to back, I think we hit it out of the park with this one. Check
it out.

*Note:
I just heard that this record is available in Target stores (as well
as other large chains I’m sure). I just want it to be known that I
personally had nothing to do with this and strongly believe in supporting
independent businesses over large corporations whenever given the
opportunity. Its rad you can buy this CD anywhere, but remember to
support the little guy!

————————————————————————————————————————

ENGINEER
RECORD UPDATE

In
other news, I got the Engineer records in and they’re fucking FANTASTIC
looking. Easily the most ambitious packaging I’ve done to date.
I’m putting together an extra special pre-order package together
which will ship out in about 3-4 weeks. For
a hint of what’s to come click here!

————————————————————————————————————————-

PERTH
EXPRESS REVIEWS

Perth
Express’ Discography has been getting phenomenal reviews in the
music press (who really took there time with this one, haha). Some
of the better ones include Decibel, Outburn, and Maximum Rock n
Roll. Click
here to read them! Also, Europeans should look forward to a
review in the new Rock Sound magazine. Coincidentally I’ve been
shelling out tons of cash for ads in these zines, so make sure you
glance at those.

————————————————————————————————————————-

RAMMING
SPEED UPDATE (RECORDS, TOUR, ETC)

Lastly, Ramming Speed just finished recording and mixing a new full
length entitled “Brainwreck”. It is currently undecided
weather or not I’ll put it out, but we’ll see! Its a ripper regardless.
The band will be doing a month long tour in July with RVA’s Battlemaster
to support the record and will also be bringing along a yet to be
recorded split 7” (also with Battlemaster, to be released
by TDB). Busy busy! Hopefully the Burning the Prospect vs Ramming
Speed 7” will be out by this time as well, but we’ll see.
I’ll post tour dates sometime in the near future, but in the meantime
check the
myspace page or the offial
website (Funnypens.info) for updates.

HATS
AND GLASSES - NOT TITLED 10″ OUT
NOW

In other news, the Hats and Glasses record is out now and available
with all of our records at NEWBURY COMICS. Here’s
some info on the band and EP:

A bit of a departure, TDB Record’s newest act Hats and Glasses
play a brand of jangly indie rock that is as eclectic as it is nostalgic.
Recalling the harmonies of The Beatles and the raw stomp of The Ramones,
all three members of the band pull their weight sharing lead vocal
duties. Add to the mix foot tapping drum patterns, poppy guitar jabs,
off-kilter keyboard runs, distorted bass and these Bostonians end
up with music that is refreshingly memorable and dancey.

The record comes on thick clear vinyl housed inside a 4 color hand
silk screened cover. Click HERE
for more info and music.

TDB T-SHIRTS ARE IN!

For the first time ever I have TDB Records T-SHIRTS

them to you cheaper if you corner me in person. Look like you know
whats up for less then $10 bucks.

12.21.07
- COCTOPUS “12 INCHES OF…”
LP - OUT NOW //
NEW WEBSTORE // RAMMING
SPEED TOUR

After spending at least three or four months at the pressing plant,
this morning twenty boxes of Coctopus records arrived at the snowey
door step of TDB HQ. The artwork is stunning, the etching is flawless,
and most importantly, this thing shreds the hardest. Here’s
some info on the band:

When
skate thrash titans Bones Brigade, and Misfits-worshiping
punks Shanghai Valentine broke up, something was
already brewing in the steamy waters of Boston Harbor. Two members
from each band have come together to form Coctopus, a troupe that
sonically embodies two decades worth of rock history. Ripping guitar
solos, epic harmonies, wah wah-ed bass lines, and raging drum-fills
bubble to the surface on Coctopus’ debut record. Fans of Iron
Maiden, Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, and Jimmy Hendrix should
all take note. The musical virtuosity this band displays is only rivaled
by the pure balls-out rock they create.

The new record, entitled “12 Inches of…” is a one
sided LP with an etching on the B side. Full color artwork and quality
vinyl by Erika Records.

In other news, while waiting for the the Coctopus record to materialize
I’ve also been stressing over this fairly lackluster and out dated
site. One web designer took a crack at a new site and failed miserably
(dude still owes me money actually). Eventually I gave it a shot
and didn’t have much luck either. In the meantime I decided to set
up a temporary webstore where you can purchase all my releases along
with a few distro items. All in all it looks pretty good and seems
to work great. Check out TDBRECORDS.BIGCARTEL.COM
and let me know what you think!

Last
and certainly least, Ramming Speed are going to
hit the road in January for a two week east coast tour. Seeing as
I play in the band, expect mail order to be fairly slow during the
first half of the month. Actually, forget about mail order, come
see us live and pick up all the TDB records your heart desires from
our distro! Here are dates and locations for this little jaunt:

Friday
1/4/2008 Providence, RI

Saturday 1/5/2008 New Brunswick, NJ

Sunday 1/6/2008 Richmond, VA

Monday 1/7/2008 Durham, NC

Tuesday 1/8/2008 Atlanta/Augusta, GA

Wednesday 1/9/2008 Tallahassee, FL

Thursday 1/17/2008 Albany, NY

Friday 1/18/2008 Home, booooring.

Check
out the band’s myspace for more info

Have
a safe and happy holiday and remember to use all that cash grandma
gives you to buy tons of great music from local DIY bands and labels!

-Jonah

-Perth Express, as I’ve said before on here, are
easily one of the most refreshing metal/hardcore bands I’ve heard
in ages. They write humongous riffs that weave between crusty brutality
and metal flair with Dave Witte-esque drumming and furious vocals.
I can’t stop listening to this beast and I’m this close to putting
a money back guarantee on here. The point being, weather or not
I released this record, I’d be writing somewhere about how fucking
mind blowing it is. Click
here for mp3s and ordering.

-Ramming Speed, while being a totally different
animal, are also a rad metal band. Its actually MY rad metal band,
so, you know, I can’t get too melodramatic here. That said, anyone
who is into partying, pizza, cheap beer, Anthrax, pools, circle
pits, DRI, pointy guitars and the scene from Ace Ventura with Cannibal
Corpse, should probably stop beating around the bush and buy copies
of this for all their friends. Its the feel good record of the summer
and its just dying to shred your turn table. Pressed on heavy black/red
split vinyl with a gnarly full color cover of a dude running against
the hand of opposition. Mp3
and ordering is here!

-The debut Coctopus LP is currently at the pressing
plant and should be back in a month or so. Sorry for the hold up
on that one.

-In closing, there’s a band you haven’t heard of called Hats
and Glasses. We’re going to help release a 10” by
them pretty soon and before you know it your little sister is going
to be wearing the t-shirt and going to their shows and you’re going
to have to sneak into her room to listen to this cause you slept
on picking it up. Remember the Beatles? Lock them in a practice
space for 8 hours with 10 tabs of acid, a pound of weed, a ton of
tiny amps and a Burzem tape. This band is going to be huge and this
record is going to sell out faster then you can say “Albini”.

7.29.07
- PERTH EXPRESS CD and tour with TRAP
THEM Following in the path of bands like His Hero is Gone, Tragedy, Mastodon,
and Baroness, PERTH EXPRESS step the genre up to
a new level of intensity and songwriting. Carting riffs so mammoth
they’ll barley fit on a plane, the German band landed in the States
yesterday to begin their very first US tour. The trip supports a discography
CD being released on TDB Records next week. It features the band’s
12”, 10”, 7” and demo, all of which were previously
unreleased in the States. The 23-track monster of a record is housed
in a black recycled cardboard case with a hand silk-screened gold
ink interior. The band’s tour will last three weeks and is alongside
Trap Them (Deathwish Inc., Trash Art). Any and all fans of ultra-heavy
hardcore and crusty metal should take note: this band is without a
doubt the future of underground music.

- RAMMING SPEED ON TOUR NOW (TDB ORDER INFO)
Whats up dudes! I’m currently on a full US tour with my newest
band RAMMING SPEED and I wanted to pop on here to let ya’ll

Now that I have that out of the way, COME HANG OUT! We’re out

RAMMING SPEED myspace to see

- DIE YOUNG (TX) 12″ IS OUT NOW + TDB SIGNS

IMAGES by DIE YOUNG (TX) is finally out
on vinyl! The records look absolutely stunning and I couldn’t be more
pleased. Click
here to see my beautiful girlfriend showing off the colored vinyl
and artwork! You can buy the album right
over here for $11 plus shipping.

In other news, Teenage Disco Bloodbath Records will be releasing records
this summer for two of Boston’s most raging party metal bands: COCTOPUS
and RAMMING SPEED.

When skate thrash titans Bones Brigade, and Misfits-worshiping punks
Shanghai Valentine broke up, something was already brewing in the
steamy waters of Boston Harbor. Two members from each band have come
together to form Coctopus, a troup that sonically
embodies two decades worth of rock history. Ripping guitar solos,
epic harmonies, wah wah-ed bass lines, and raging drum-fills bubble
to the surface on Coctopus’ debut record. Fans of Iron Maiden, Thin
Lizzy, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, and Jimmy Hendrix should all take
note. The musical virtuosity this band displays is only rivaled by
the pure balls-out rock they create.

The new record, entitled “12 Inches of…” will be a one
sided LP/CD package with an etching on the B side. We are aiming for
a July release and the band will be doing a US tour, followed by a
UK tour, before ‘07 is up. One of the songs from the record has been
posted on the TDB MySpace: www.myspace.com/TeenageDiscoBloodbath

Along with Coctopus, Boston’s Ramming Speed are busting
onto the metal scene this summer. The band premiers with a four song
7” entitled “Full Speed Ahead” and a 6 week US tour
to support it. Comprised of members from Death/Thrash bands Inheritance
and Cyanide Breed and crust grinders Backstabbers Inc., Ramming Speed
play an amalgam of 80’s Anthrax-style thrash metal, grind, and ultra-fast
hardcore. These party animals will wolf a pizza, down a 30 rack, and
still shred some of the sickest solos this side of San Fransisco Bay.

If you can help with tour dates please contact the band via: FunnyPens.Info

3.2.07 - DIE YOUNG (TX) JOIN TDB ROSTER,
TIDES/ENGINEER April tourWe are proud to announce the addition of DIE YOUNG
(TX) to the TDB roster with the vinyl release of the new
album “GRAVEN IMAGES”. Spreading their
brand of socially and politically conscious hardcore like a virus,
DIE YOUNG (TX) have made it a point to not only tour the US constantly,
but also touch the farther corners of the world. The band has packed
DIY shows all across North America (Canada and Alaska included), as
well as Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Costa
Rica and Puerto Rico. It was this arduous touring and the bands furious
and impassioned beliefs that lead to this release on TDB. We are so
excited to be involved in the future of DIE YOUNG (TX), and the new
record honestly sounds something like a fire-breathing Brian Catharsis
fronting Integrity, which rules.

Lyrically, “GRAVEN IMAGES” is one of the most intense
bullets shots from the heart of the hardcore scene in some time.
Railing heavily against the imperialism, hypocrisy, and religion
of Western government and culture, Daniel Die Young sounds like
he’s using his last breaths to warn mankind of oncoming disaster.
In these grim times, DIE YOUNG (TX) is a band proudly working towards
change and waving flags of defiance before a world bent on its own
demise.

The record itself will be released on two colors of vinyl (White
splatter on Blue vinyl & Blue splatter on White vinyl) with
a limited edition pre-order package available on the TDB Myspace
page (www.myspace.com/teenagediscobloodbath) in the coming weeks.
We are shooting for a late April 2007 release. Check www.TDBRecords.com
for more info.

The CD version of GRAVEN IMAGES will be available from Eulogy Records
and other releases from the band can be purchased from Double or
Nothing Records, Surprise Attack Records, and Immigrant Sun Records.

Moving on, TIDES AND ENGINEER (Both of which are
TDB artists!) are heading out together for two weeks in April. These
bands are so creative and passionate about what they do, this is
a tour not to be slept on. Anyone interested in helping with or
attending these shows can check the current schedule on the TIDES
MYSPACE PAGE.

The new ENGINEER LP along with the upcoming
TIDES/GIANT split CD will both be out this summer on TDB
Rex. I hope your all as excited as I am.
