Cicada Radio - No Fate But What We Make

Well, considering we’ve all only got a few weeks left to live (that damn Mayan apocalypse just sneaks up on ya doesn’t it?) - Cicada Radio squeeze in a new CD for you to rock out to the end of the world – aptly titled No Fate But What We Make.   It includes 8 songs of gloriously cacophonous guitar rock (did I really just use that word? 700 verbal on my SATs!) - the perfect soundtrack to watch the world crumble around you, and just in time for the holidays too!  It features the single “Oceans” which is burning up the interwebs with it’s fantastic video.  Order your copy right here, right now, and get an instant download of the whole record!  That’s 6 days before the rest of the world gets to hear it (because you’re so special to me, each and every one of you).

If you’re in the New Brunswick area, or if you aren’t and have access to a car or know how to hotwire a neighbor’s, head on out to the Court Tavern this Saturday and celebrate this release with us, Cicada Radio, and a bunch more.  And check out the video for “Oceans” below.

Hurricane Sandy Relief

Hey folks, so the last few days have been pretty rough for a lot of people.  Hurricane Sandy has really done a number on our home state of New Jersey, as well as much of the surrounding states.  We were very fortunate to only be inconvenienced with not having any power for a few days, but now that we’re up and running again (though our main headquarters is still in the dark), we’d like to do something to help out those who didn’t fair quite as well.  The devastation on the Jersey shore alone is almost too much to bear.  So, here’s what we’d like to do – we’ve got a whole a bunch of stuff sitting around warehoused and not doing anything, so make your way to our special Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund page, make a donation, and get some cool stuff.  If you don’t really want anything, that’s fine too, just get a sticker  - the important thing is that you help out if you can.  100% of the proceeds will be going to assist those who need it due to the storm.

Also, The Everymen have set up their own relief fund – they’re making special “New Jersey Hardcore” T-Shirts, again with 100% of the proceeds going to Hurricane Sandy victims.  You can order those right here.

The Everymen - House of Vans

New Jersey Hardcore!  Yes, yes, we’ve been mentioning for some time now, but the now the time is nigh – and you can pre-order it too.  It’s been a long wait, but finally The Everymen are ready to debut their 1st full-length release, New Jersey Hardcore.  The official release date is October 9th – but if you can’t wait quite that long you’ll be able to see them perform live in Brooklyn at Public Assembly with lablemates Secret Country and The Brooklyn What on October 7th.  That’s going to be one hell of a night.  More details are available over on the Tour Dates page, and you can buy tickets through TicketWeb.

If that’s not soon enough either, you really need to just chill out.  But once you settle down, why don’t you go over the newly designed KHR Shop and pre-order the record.  Why?  Because if you do you’ll get an instant download of the lead single “Coney Island High”  Oh – and you have choices!  That’s right, we’re offering the record on CD and glorious vinyl (we’re super excited about the first LP on Killing Horse!)  Either way, you get a free track, so just go do it pussy.

Rock on!

Turn Up The TV

TV Sound - Maxwell's 9/7/12

Killing Horse Records is stoked to welcome TV Sound to the family.  ”Who are TV Sound?” you might ask – they are the grandfather (well maybe more like older brothers) of Kearny rock music.  They were doing this like pros while we were still figuring out how to play in bands, MTV played music videos and only your dad had a cell phone.

Anyway, their seminal release Record Jacket Life has been given new life, and a re-release on Killing Horse.  You can follow the link below and pick up your very own copy today in the brandy-new redesigned KHR Shop.
