new look, new stuff

Check out the new look!  I have tried to make this page a little easier to navigate, so enjoy :)

I also have a bit of news, the Rat Storm/Chaotic Neutral test presses should be here in a few days, which is super-exciting.  I can't wait to get that record out!  Additionally, I have confirmed with Peeple Watchin' that I will be releasing the CS version of their LP.  Peeple Watchin' are an AWESOME poppy punk band from Boston and they are awesome people, so this is gonna be great.

Additionally, I am working on another project that will be REALLY exciting, but it's not for sure yet... check back soon.
