New DIY record label out of Des Moines

Post by Joe » Fri Apr 11, 2008 4:12 pm

Mr. Wiggins and I have started a record label.

It's called Don't Shoot! Records.

Our first 7", a Ghost Towns / Lautrec split, will be out soon. Limited to 500. It should be out by June.

We're interested in helping out our friends and we're pumped about helping out Iowa dudes in the near future. I'll let you know my plans soon.

http://www.myspace.com/dontshootrecords

There's a track from Ghost Towns and Lautrec off the split for you to listen to.

Please check it out. It's in the early stages right now, but we hope to get the ball rolling on more projects once this Ghost Towns 7" is out.

I would recommend no more than 300. Your stampers are good for 1000 total so if you sell out, you can always press some more without having to get them plated again.

Split release, we're not getting ALL of them.
It's not like we'd press... oh, I dunno, 700 of them or anything.

Fuuuck.

Joe, pm me and let me know how much you're paying for 7 inches. I know a place that does a good job, and may or may not be cheaper.

I'd also recommend no more than 300. I still have a large box of albums that I never sold from our label.

In the future I doubt we'll be doing more than 300.
For this release, that's what the bands wanted, and we didn't pay much either, so I'm not worried.
