12.1.05 - Please welcome...
It was a daydream to put out an album by Gregor Samsa even before we started releasing albums just over a year ago. Needless to say it excites us to no end to announce that come early in the new year we will be bringing you their new album 55:12. We first fell in love with this band after seeing them play a show in NYC where we picked up all the recordings they had... something we suggest you do too...and when you can't imagine them topping those EP's check back this March to pick up their new full length and catch them on a US tour later that month. More information will be coming over the coming months, including song clips, artwork, pre-order info, and a possible limited edition to feature extra artwork and packaging.


In the mean time we have been assembling Meredith Bragg's follow up to Vol. 1, The Departures EP. It is available for pre-order in the Store, shipping in January. Meredith may also have some at his upcoming gigs, check out the Shows page for dates

7.05.05 - Meredith Mania
Thanks to everyone who made it out to the Black Cat Sunday night, it was an amazing evening. We are so excited for Volume 1, which climbed to #78 on CMJ this week. We'll have some photos from our first ever DC CD release show to share very soon, here's an excerpt from the review in the
Washington Post - "Bragg and his band, the Terminals, played a show that justified the buzz, crafting a brief but sturdy set of low-key songs that emphasized their leader's fingerpicked acoustic guitar and sharply drawn lyrics."
