Yep, rumors are true. We put up a Twitter so that when you don't feel like reading a blog (or I don't feel like posting an in depth update, which is hardly ever seeing as I am a fairly eloquent bitch) you can check out our 160-characters-or-less twits...or tweets (?)
Melotov Records Twitter!
http://twitter.com/melotovrecords
Also, I can't wait for Sound and Fury on Sunday! If you're going, be sure to pick up the S&F special edition of Touche Amore's debut LP on 6131 Records. And be sure to check out Red, White, and Blue Tattoo. They'll be doing tats all Sound and Fury Weekend. I will be getting one on Sunday, so I'll throw pics of that up on here, the Twitter, the myspace, etc.
Even though I hopped on the band wagon for promotion purposes, I still feel like a conforming idiot for doing so. Does anyone feel that social networking has gotten a little too social? It's all internet social, not personal. So get off your lazy asses, go to Sound and Fury (or some other show) and make some friends. I say bring back the days of tape-trading.
Hot damn,
Melanie V

The Greatest Comeback since Michael Jackson
Vinyl.
Read it and reap (the benefits):
http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/20947918/vinyl_returns_in_the_age_of_mp3
The comments at the end of the article are interesting too. If you're not just a music fan, but a music buff, you gotta dig the vinyl.
And mad respect for Michael Jackson, so please don't think I'm trying to make some cheap-shot joke.

Queue Jefferson's Theme Song: "Movin' on Up"
Hello neglected blog-followers (all what... six of you?) it's been a few weeks since my last post, so here's one with some important updates.
First and foremost, an e-store has finally been set up. It's not my official one (the one that was supposed to be done in April, but keeps being pushed back; there have been some issues that need to be resolved with that...). This one will definitely get the job done, it's temporary, but it still makes the music available to you. You can check out our merch for now here at the Melotov Records E-store
Dance For Destruction's 12" LP "When Color Was Real" (MLTVR003) is one sweet sounding piece of wax. There is a limited run of 100 sky blue vinyl and 400 black vinyl. Orders come with free test presses while supplies last. Their CD is out on Lorlei Records and they'll be touring soon, so be sure to catch a show and pick up a copy! You'll save on shipping! Also, Charged's S/T is now on sale exclusively at our merch store. Only $3!
Just got the Cathedrals/Bleeding Kansas test presses as well and they sound fucking awesome. We're going with Erika Records for this one, and working with them has been a great experience! The whole crew has been professional and has kept my best interests in mind, giving me multiple quotes and a very hands-on experience (like allowing me to come down to the plant to talk shop). http://erikarecords.com/ Check them out!
Bleeding Kansas has a show with fellow label mates Deadhead (whose 10" we'll be putting out hopefully in the October/November months). Show is gonna rule, here's the flyer:
Scoring some distro deals with international stuff too, and keep an eye out for shows. We're attempting to book a helluva lot of them. If you're interested in putting on a show, playing a show, or promoting a show, give me a call and we'll talk. All contact info is on out myspace http://myspace.com/melotovrecords
Keep supporting all that is independent and underground!!!

CATHEDRALS & BLEEDING KANSAS and other good news!
Evenin' all,
Picked up the masters and artwork for the Cathedrals/Bleeding Kansas split today and loaded new songs onto the Melotov Records myspace http://myspace.com/melotovrecords
I am seriously so excited to see the finished product, and I can't wait until it drops officially! The artwork is sick; Eddie, drummer for Cathedrals, drew it and did the layout as well. He definitely has a good eye for graphic design and things of that nature. Also a cool dude and has been awesome to work with throughout this whole process. Everyone in Cathedrals and BK are down to earth, humble people, which makes working with them even cooler. So stoked!
All the tracks were recorded, mixed, and mastered by Alex Estrada at The Earth Capital in LA, which has quite an impressive resume of artists that they've worked with (Touche Amore, Mons Worship, Betrayed, Charged, Catch Your Breath, Deadhead, etc). Check out The Earth Capital at: http://theearthcapital.com or http://theearthcapital.blogspot.com Cathedrals bring the doom-punk thrash while Bleeding Kansas keep it smooth and semi-mellow with southern-stoner rock vibes (think Botch meets Pink Floyd). It's a very diverse record and will be run in a few different colored vinyl (more details to come).
Next up: throwing DEADHEAD in the studio to record their 10" while DANCE FOR DESTRUCTION tours in support of their 12" LP. HOMESICK ABORTIONS had to take a breather for personal reasons, but their full-length will be out (sometime) this year.
Until then, check out The Earth Capital, the new tunes on our myspace, and keep supporting all that is independent and underground!

Play Bass with half of CHARGED!
A most serious request from John Baehr and Niko Dorschel:
John and Niko are looking to get a new project going, and a bassist is the hardest fuckin thing to find.
Requirements:
Must like drinking.
Must like the Germs.
Must be okay with drugs.
Must be competent and creative.
Extras:A plus if you like Converge, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Refused, Tragedy, Cursed, Nausea. Any of those or a poo-poo platter of all.
Contact them directly through their myspace http://myspace.com/charged and go audition. You do not have to be from Santa Clarita as long as you have reliable transportation. Git on it!
