6.9.09: Thanks a ton for those who came out to the first leg of BMSR shows over the past few weeks. They went incredibly well. Things are relatively back to normal here so all orders placed during that time have shipped.

5.17.09: Any orders placed after 9am CST tomorrow morning (5.18.09) will not be shipped until June 8th. I'll be on tour with BMSR till then. Come say hi and thanks for your support!!

5.07.09: Greetz! For those not on the Eating Us Reserve List, I wanted to inform you the new masterpiece from BMSR is up for pre-order on the catalog page. There are still some of the special pre-order version available. Those are limited to 100 and come with a 3x3 sticker set of Eating Us art (a set is 4 stickers), a 2 1/4" button with the BMSR logo and the hairy CD bag as well as candy and toys. Thanks everyone for your support!

5.2.09: Yo! Pre-orders for the new and fantastic mini lp from The Lava Children just went up. All orderers get the album immediately in mp3 format and get other free shit. Proceed to the catalogue page for more info! Thanks kindly for your support.

4.16.09: If you'd like to sign up to reserve a copy of the limited, hairy edition of BMSR's new masterpiece, 'Eating Us', please go here to do so. Signing up guarantees you the ability to pre-order/receive the limited version. This pre-order will occur in early May. You can also download the first single at that link. Also, we are now on the 3rd pressing of Dandelion Gum. They no longer come with a scratch n sniff but do come in white vinyl with a dark pink splatter. You can pick one up on the catalogue page. Also note that this Sat is Record Store Day and we are participating for the first time this year. We have an exclusive, RSD only BMSR 7 inch coming that day. Finally, Graveface will have a table at this years CHIRP record fair this Sat and Sun. Go here for the deets. Come out and say hello. We rarely show our hideous faces out in public so it's a chance for you to vomit at the site of us. Thanks for your support!

3.2.09: After years of the same catalogue/store page, I've finally changed things around. Surely I've gone and fucked a bunch of things up but most prices are cheaper AND you get the album you just purchased emailed to you for free regardless of the format (doesn't apply to things I didn't release digitally). The best part is it's automated! Please email me if things look or act wonky. Consider it a work in progress for the next month or so. Thanks for reading!

2.28.09: New tour dates added for many Graveface bands! Check em. Also, we made a wee BMSR messageboard for those who want to discuss all things Madballs and mini-golf related. Be well!

2.18.09: Boy I'm sleepy. We've been assembling the new Appleseed record for the past 12 hours and I'm tired. That being said, they should be shipping throughout the day tomorrow. One random lucky soul will receive test pressings thrown in and many of you will receive what appear to be coasters (really, they're just the middles of the records cut out). As of 3 minutes ago, we've sold out of the hand-numbered copies. That and through our wonderful distributor (Chicago Independent) we're down to the last 200 or so of the first pressing-the maroon colored version. These should be showing up at your local record stores next Tuesday for you non-Paypalers. Thanks for your continued interest!

2.13.09: Friday the 13th. Fuck yeah. Mr. Voorhees and I have a date in a few hours. In the meantime I wanted to mention that the new vinyl from The Appleseed Cast is up for pre-order on the catalogue page. We have about 20 copies or so left that are hand-numbered. These bad-boys will be shipping to both stores and mail-order customers on Tuesday the 17th. The next two releases after that will be BMSR's Eating Us and The Lava Children's self titled mini-lp which will be in stores May 26th. Thanks for your support!!

1.13.09: 2009! Gross. Only a few more years before the end of the world as we know it. Sagarmatha pre-orders go up in 2 weeks and the cover art can be seen here for the curious. Also, I made a video of Seven Fields and I assembling the new Dreamend pop-up album. Here it is:

Be safe out there and thanks for your continued support!!

12.23.08: Greetz! Just in time for Christmas we got the best review ever (keep in mind we didn't request such a thing) from some amazingly hateful people. You can read it below or go here. I wonder what it feels like to have so much hate built up inside of you. Merry Christmas!!

"I fucking hate indie rock. Hate hate hate hate hate it. And Brickhouse will be reported to federal authorities for sending this piece of garbage through the mail because I believe it to be highly more dangerous than mailing anthrax.
The album is a compilation of bands from indie label Graveface Records. They all play distinctly different styles of indie, by which I mean they all have unique ways of making dudes giving it up the butt to other dudes, sound different. I barely made it through this album. I am terrified that these bands are allowed to make whole albums. Fuck these bands and fuck stupid, shitty, pretentious artsy indie rock. If you like indie, you might like this. I could really care less and want to pour acid in my ears right now." DJ Metal Mouth

12.17.08: Greetings and Happy Holidays everyone. Two things. We got a few more copies of the Drippers 10 inch in and are giving our US customers a free upgrade to priority mail on all orders to hopefully receive everything pre-XMAS. Thanks for your support this year. We have a great deal in store for 09. Check out a new Appleseed Cast track here. Thanks to Stereogum for hosting it. Have a fantasic few weeks.

12.10.08: Just so everyone who ordered the BMSR 10 inch is aware, all copies were shipped off Sunday night at the 24 hour post office here in Chicago. I would've sent them on the 3rd but I've gone and broken several ribs somehow so getting around isn't the easiest! Thanks for your patience and I hope everyone is pleased with the end result. In other news, we're releasing the new Appleseed Cast album, Sagarmatha, on 2xlp Feb 17th. For me, this is probably their best album to date. It is really fucking epic. If you want priority shipping for any Xmas orders, email me post order. Thanks for your support!!

12.03.08: Sweet news folks! The Drippers vinyl has arrived and looks/sounds brilliant!! All the pre-orders will be shipped today and tomorrow. There are many things in store for 09 and we'll be announcing them very soon. Till then, be safe out there.

11.18.08: Hello again. I have some bad news. The BMSR lps still haven't arrived!! I don't know if they are lost in the mail or what but let me tell you, we'll figure this nonsense out. I hope you'll all receive them by Dec 1st but who the hell knows at this point. Frustration has occured. On a good note, all the Dreamend records have shipped out this week! I really hope you enjoy them as they take over 30 minutes each to make. I will upload a video here soon to show you the process. Thanks again for your continued support!

11.7.08: Yo! Quick update on the pre-ordered items. The Dreamend 2xlp will start shipping out Monday. We cannot seem to find a way to speed up production on them and they still are taking 30 minutes per copy to assemble. The Black Moth 10 inch is shipping to us on Tuesday and hopefully will be in Chicago by the end of the week. Then I'll assemble and ship those bad boys out as well. Thanks kindly!!

10.21.08: Hello again! Three updates in one month!! Shocking. I have some bad news to report. Both the BMSR "Drippers" 10inch and the Dreamend "The Long Forgotten Friend" double 12 inch will be delayed a bit. We've gotten word from the two manufacturers respectively that due to an increase in vinyl production around the globe, they cannot meet their ship dates. I figure this must be true as it's coming from two different vinyl companies. So, the street date for stores is now November 25th for the both of them. I will more than likely have both to ship to you brilliantly patient pre-orderers by the first week of November. So they should arrive by the second week. Please check this space and I will update everytime I receive an update. As a thanks and an I'm sorry, I'll be emailing all the pre-orderers the mp3s of the album so you can enjoy it now and later. Thanks again for your continued support and remember today is the release date for the amazing new album from Hospital Ships. Please go to your local indie store and pick it up! Don't forget to download our Halloween podcast right below...

10.16.08: Yo! Thanks to all the have pre-ordered the Dreamend and Hospital Ships records. We are very excited by the reactions we're getting. The cd versions have all shipped. I put together a wee podcast as I'm obsessed with Halloween. It is Itunes enhanced. Please feel free to download it below. The tracklisting is a surprise.

10.7.08: Hello! Is it me you're looking for? We've got some rad pre-orders up on the site and another coming next week. Hospital Ships and Dreamend today and BMSR next week. Peruse the site to see just how special these things are. Mp3s have been posted for the new records. If you're going to be in Chicago on November 1st, please consider attending the Graveface Records Halloween/Day of the Dead showcase @ The Abbey Pub. BMSR, Dreamend, and Hospital Ships will all be playing cd release sets and Kid Dakota will be making their debut as a 5 piece in Chicago. Costumes are encouraged. We are integrating mp3 purchase options slowly so we're not left behind in the middle ages. Lastly, I get many emails regarding The Appleseed Cast's "Two Conversations' lp that I announced a year ago. I'm still waiting for the art to be uncovered and a few other treats. I promise it will be out sometime in 09 along with the 2xlp of their new record. Thanks so much for the support in these hard times!

07.17.08: Holy fuck! It's summer. I'm not sure how that happened so quickly. I hope you are all digging the weather wherever you are. This weekend we'll be attending the Pitchfork Music Festival for the first time. By attending I mean we'll have a table and will pawning a ton of records. Hopefully our vinyl will not melt as it is supposed to be 90 outside. Please stop by the booth, say hi, and grab some free goodies. In release news, we are proud to announce the debut album from the amazing Jordan Geiger (Minus Story, Shearwater) in the form of Hospital Ships. The Hospital Ships debut record is called Oh, Ramona and will hit stores on Oct 21st. You can read more about HS on their band page. Also coming in October is the 3rd full length from Dreamend. That hits the stores on the 28th and if you buy the vinyl version, it comes with a handmade pop-up gatefold by William Schaff. And the last release of the year is by Black Moth Super Rainbow. It's called Drippers and contains a bunch of compilation tracks and such. It's totally rad and will come as a cd and a 10inch lp, both with scratch and sniff front cover. November 4th is the release date for that bad boy. All 3 of these releases will be available for pre-order in August on this site. Stay tuned! Thanks for reading and enjoy life!

03.28.08: Hi folks! All right. I just wanted to say I'm really sorry for the lack of communication on all fronts. You know when everything goes wrong at the same time? That's how the past few weeks have been. Email account(s) not working properly, problems with paypal, powermac will not turn on, etc. Phew! That being said, I'm so very happy to say that all orders have been shipped off finally. There were incredible delays with the Daturah vinyl and I just got my 200 copies yesterday after placing the order months ago. They look and sound rad though! Plus I still have several coloured copies left if anyone wants em. Many thanks to Pitchforkmedia.com for writing about the Black Moth Super Rainbow vinyl that came out on March 11th. Because of them I have been to the post office more than I've ever been in my life. There are about 50 copies of the coloured left. Please be patient with me! I am but one man with many-a-customer and 38 handmade releases. When I get some breathing room, I'm going to do the drawing for the test pressings. All Daturah, BMSR, and Kid Dakota lp orders will be in the running for them. Hoot! Hopefully I'll see you Chicago folks at the Black Moth show tomorrow. I'll be the guy passing out pinatas to be destroyed and candy to be devoured. Thanks for your support!!

03.06.08: Wanted to mention that Graveface Records will be out on our little SXSW tour from 3/7-3/18 during which, orders will not ship. Orders will go out on the 19th that are placed during that time. All preorders are shipping tomorrow except for the Daturah lps which should arrive in Chicago from the pressing plant during tour. They will go out on the 19th. Thanks kindly for your support and I hope some of you choose to check out our showcase on March 15th @ The Thirsty Nickel in Austin. The final lineup is Black Moth Super Rainbow, Kid Dakota, Laura Gibson, Dreamend, Experimental Aircraft, and Power Pill Fist. Fucking radical! Cheers all.
