Cover Recycling Aktion
Wir wollen ein Release mit “Recycling-Covern” ausstatten. D.h. alte Cover auftrennen, inside-out-wenden und dann besiebdrucken! Wer also noch alte LPs übrig hat: bitte melden! Das schafft Platz im Keller, ist gut für die Ökobilanz und kann im Fall von grottenschlechten Covern auch noch echt lustig werden (–> Heino, Heintje, Hansi Hinterseer LP-Cover welcome!)
Meldet euch einfach per mail: basti [xbeix] coffeebreathandheartache.com
Btw: wir haben noch unter 10 Exemplare der Sharks “Sweet Harness” 7inch in unserem Onlineshop. Wer noch eine haben möchte, schaut entweder schnell dort oder bei einem dieser feinen Plattenladen/Mailorder vorbei:
- Banquet (UK, Kingston upon Thames)
- Per Koro (Ger, Bielefeld)
- Green Hell (Ger, Münster)
- Flight 13 (Ger, Freiburg)

About the whole Sharks/Criso situation …
… here are the statements made by the band:
“We regret to announce that Cris O’Reilly is no longer in Sharks. We would like to wish him all the best for the future. We will be continuing this year’s touring/recording schedule with a temporary replacement, including every date of this year’s Warped Tour. We hope to see you there. Thanks.”
&
“We appreciate that emotions may be running high at the moment but rest assured that this was not a decision made by management; it was a decision made by the three founding members of this band. We wouldn’t be going through this unless it had to be done. We hope you can respect that as we continue with what we love. Peace. – James, Andrew & Sam.”

PREORDER: Here we go!
Ok, finally here it is, the preorders for the new Sharks “Sweat Harness” 7″s are up! Below is a little preview of what the stamped covers look like, all the backsides are done as I type this, Andi, Holger and Basti did an amazing job today, hope everyone will be pleased with the way they came out, we are for sure. We had to make a little change about the grey covers, they`ll be stamped with black, too, … technical difficulties or whatever you wanna call this, we tried to make it happen but it didn`t work the way we planned, sorry bout this, and we hope everyone will like this, too!

We also put up some more pics of the stamping process on our Facebook site!
And now here`s what we can offer you, first of all, grey/black covers (this one is exclusive to our online store!), limited to 90:
… and red/black covers, with a different screenprint on the b-side, limited to 200:
This is a preorder, we expect the records to be ready for shipping in three weeks!
About the Sharks pre-order tomorrow …
… since we got some mails regarding the pre-order: This is still goin online tomorrow, we don`t know an exact time yet, but most likely sometime in the evening … good luck to everyone getting what they`d love to order!
Finally news about the Sharks 7" !!!
First of all thanks for all your patience everyone, it took quite some time to get the records from the pressing plant and we`re working hard on making it all come together as we speak!
We´ll start screenprinting the records by next week and we`ll handstamp the covers this time … we´ll post pictures of the progress and announce exact numbers for the pressing as we progress, promise! To keep everyone along for the ride, here´s a little teaser as of what the covers will look like, there`ll be two different prints for the b-side of the records, but we want you to see the “real deal” and no photshop magic, so bare with us!
Tracklist:
01 – Sweet Harness
02 – The Joys Of Living
Pressing is limited to 290 and there will be a handful of testpresses (10 made, 5 for sale). We`ll start the preorder in about 2 weeks (around june 5th), so don´t miss out on this little eye candy!
In other news there is a “little problem” with the Building release we were looking forward to. Skylar (the singer) has decided to move back to Rochester and is now the permanent guitar player for Such Gold (you`ve heard of them) and at the moment also doin vocals. This really messed up the bands and our plans quite a bit, but the band will continue and will search for a new singer and rerecord vocals as soon as they have found a fitting replacement, trust us, the 2 new songs we`ve heard so far are phenomenal!
