GRAVE MISTAKE RECORDS: June 2010

Stumbled upon a ton of BAD BUSINESS photos courtesy of my good bud DAN BRESS who played guitar in Bad Biz and currently plays in the awesome DEAD MECHANICAL. Looks like it might be every live photo ever taken for the band ... glad to have caught them a bunch especially in Rochester, they always got an great reaction there. Fun times.

The BAD BUSINESS 7" was release #3 for GRAVE MISTAKE, if my memory serves correct it came out in May or June of 2003, right as I was moving (or had just moved) down to Richmond from MD. I asked the band to do the 7" a few months after my first two releases came out (late 2002, I think) ... from the start of the label, I wanted to keep it's focus on what was going on locally, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity since I thought the band ruled and they were all awesome guys. Plus, at the time there was a really strong tie between Rochester and Baltimore ... bands like Bad Business, Standfast, and The Disaster were pretty much honorary local bands, so it made perfect sense to do their 7" as my third release.

This photo above was from a set they took for the back of the 7" ... they went out to some abandoned industrial area in Rochester and painted the song titles on the side of a warehouse. Still holds up as probably one of my favorite layout ideas for a GM release. I thought it was cool that there was some warehouse in Rochester with "GRAVE MISTAKE RECORDS" and a bunch of song titles from a record painted really big on the side of it, but apparently the warehouse burned to the ground, bummer.

The 7" is long gone (although I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to track one down), Nick Third Party and I did a CD Discography for the band as well (I think it might be missing one unreleased song, but I could be mistaken), and that's pretty much gone too. Here is a link for the CD if you were interested in checking it out. It has one unreleased song, 2 songs off the Third Party Records "Bridging Oceans" 10" comp, the 7", and the demo. Enjoy!

BAD BUSINESS "DISCOGRAPHY" CD

Track 1 - Unreleased

Damn it's hot out ... hopefully everyone's summer has been off to a good start. This update is pretty big because I've been pretty busy and a little lazy the past few months since the last one, so everything just piled up ... but I go into excuses with every update about how I'm going to do them more often, and it never happens that way. So anyways, this will be the last update until July, but it's a good one and should hold you over until then!

===============================================

A few boring but important things before I get into the new stuff in the store ...

First off, I started a GRAVE MISTAKE blog, which can be found at http://gravemistakerecords.blogspot.com/ ... I set it up mainly because I can't update my website anymore (need to get that fixed), but I also wanted something a little more informal than just the website. I'm planning to post to it regularly, mostly label related but not limited to news/webstore updates, and the occasional random post ... I'll try to keep it interesting for future posts but please check that out.

Second ... the internet has been out at my house for almost a week now, and it might not be back until next week. Aside from being extremely annoying and inconvenient, it has caused me to get a little backed up with all of my mailorder (since I do all of the orders at home). I'm going to figure out some way to try and get a bit caught up this weekend, but please be patient if you place an order this week or weekend. It's rare I get backed up more than a week behind so I'm not trying to make a habit out of it, I'm pretty sure I can figure out a way to stay on orders until my internet is back up.

Third ... I'll be moving (along with GMHQ) into a new apartment at the beginning of July, thankfully to a bigger apartment with way more storage space for all of my records and junk. Why this matters to you is because I need to pack up everything and get it set up in the new place, so I won't be sending out any mailorder starting next weekend. So any orders placed after Friday, June 25th won't be shipped until mid July ... I might just close down the store altogether, but if not then there will be a disclaimer up. Either way, if you don't want to wait, put your orders in before next Friday!

I think that's it ... I'll be at Insubordination Fest next weekend and that should be fun. If you go make sure to check out NIGHT BIRDS and DEEP SLEEP amongst the many other awesome bands that are playing. Also, for those of you asking about GOVERNMENT WARNING ... we will be playing Best Friends Day here in Richmond this August ... that's our only planned show for the rest of the year / century.

===============================================

Ok enough of the boring crap ... here's the good stuff ... RECORDS!!!

As always, GRAVE MISTAKE WEBSTORE can be found here: www.gravemistakerecords.com/catalog

There is a TON of stuff in this update, so let's get started ... first off, some if this stuff I only have a few copies of, so as always it's recommended that you act fast if you see something you want. If you can't find it in the store, then it's sold out! Anyways, here we go ...

I've got copies of the brand new 7" from the one and only MARKED MEN, you know you need that. There is the ripping debut 7" from GLAM which also comes highly recommended, as well as the brand new second LP from Sweden's MASSHYSTERI ... this record is incredible, if you liked their last one, you should be into this one too. A ton of killer reissues this update, including not one, but four DRI vinyl reissues from Beer City... we've got the Dirty Rotten EP 7", Dirty Rotten LP 12", Violent Pacification 7", and the Dealing With It LP ... two rad reissues courtesy of Felix Havoc and those are the FINAL CONFLICT (MN) 7" and the WILLFUL NEGLECT LP, so check those out (along with the new SOTATILA 7" also on HAVOC). The Lackey Die 7" is some cool 80s hc from VA, not really a reissue more of some long lost tunes finally seeing their way to vinyl (with a cool screened cover) courtesy of Sam who does GOT MYSELF zine. Some "fan" did an awesome "fanclub" edition of the classic NEON CHRIST 7" ... and they did a REALLY good job with it so if you don't have many hundreds of dollars for an OG copy, this is a good option for you. I also finally got around to getting some of those AGNOSTIC FRONT reissues that came out not too long ago. I also restocked some classics (7 SECONDS, DESCENDENTS, ALL, BLACK FLAG) and finally picked up some of my favorite REVELATION RECORDS releases (YOT, CHAIN, JUDGE, GB, ETC ETC).

I got a bunch of releases from NOMINAL RECORDS (NU SENSAE LP, MUTATORS LP, DEFEKTORS LP, RANDOM CUTS 7"s) , a TON of 7" releases from KEN ROCK and SNUFFY SMILE, I got a few releases from TRAFFIC STREET RECORDS and DEAD BROKE records (including a slew of their tape releases) for you pop punk fiends. I got some copies of the FLOORPUNCH double LP discography care of SIX FEET UNDER, and I'm about 5 years late on these, but I finally got copies of the VICTIM 12" and SPLITTING HEADACHE 12" both on COLLAPSE RECORDS, both two (in my humble opinion) underrated hardcore bands/records from this decade. The new NO FRIENDS 12" is also recommended, definitely a big step up from their debut LP on No Idea so if you liked that then you should love this. I also picked up some other records from KISS OF DEATH so check those out as well. Some other 7"s of interest are the second volume of the NAKED RAYGUN singles series, the LA CORDE 7", a new 7" from EVERYTHING FALLS APART, 7"s from HRT, FRAT BOYS, PIGEON RELIGION, NOT SORRY, and more!

As you can see, there is a ton more but hopefully that's enough to get you started!

Email me if you have any questions about anything, if not then thanks for reading and you'll hear from me again in a month!
