All 2nd press The Effort "Wear Your Heart" preorders went out on Saturday. We had some odd colors in this batch that we didn't expect so if you expected a "puke" color...well, your getting a color that more closely resembles lavender. We also got quite a bit of grey colors in stock. If you're interested in a copy of that color, head over to RevHQ and pick it up. All 136 copies went to them....they should have them in stock within a week. We also got some copies on a yellowish/orange vinyl which we'll be including as a bundle with the Iconoclam newsletter subscriber edition which we'll be announcing soon.
Lone Wolf's debut 7" titled Hallucenogenic Fate is now at the plant. Assuming that there aren't any delays, we anticipate the records should be in within a few weeks. The artwork for the record is also finished. Thanks to Scott McGrath for the artwork and layout work on the album! Preorders for the record should begin within a month or so, stay tuned.
We're very sorry to announce that the 2nd press of The Effort's Wear Your Heart 7" has been delayed. After weeks of waiting for the record to arrive, I finally called the plant to find out what the deal was. I was informed that the stampers were lost and that they thought I had been informed. I was not informed and went weeks thinking that they were in the mail. At any rate they assured me that the records would be out of the plant by Friday. That means I should have them within 5-7 days of Monday and then you'll have them within 2-3 business days of that day. Sorry for the delay.
