Hey everyone,
I've been a little quiet, but that's just because I'm working hard getting this label off the ground. The Closet Burner test presses have been approved and sound great! The records are scheduled to be pressed in the beginning of July and the 12" should be ready for release by the end of the month - you can preorder it with the special cover still: http://realityisacult.storeenvy.com ! I'll post process pics as we work on the packaging and such.
In other news - the Mary & Child CS has been recorded and is being mixed, should also be out within a few weeks. The Indiana HC compilation is being worked on, and we are still accepting submissions if you would like to submit! The Sad Family 10" has turned into a 12" and is being recorded very soon. And finally, the Side FX/Parasitic Twins split is nearing completion and should be off to be pressed by August at the latest.
In the meantime, I have a distro list for you all to enjoy! I have some stuff listed on Discogs, but I'd rather do most my sales without any corporations taking a cut... so if you can, order from me directly! Just send me an email realityisacult@gmail.com - shipping will depend on your order, but will be shipped media mail and be totally reasonable.
