Tapes

[withdrawal204]

tapes are great for stop gap releases without having to blow 1500 bucks you will never ever get back because some nerd thinks uploading your record to their download blog will somehow actually help your band, instead of leaving you with 100 copies sitting on your bookshelf.

all the pro's and con's otherwise were covered pretty much earlier.

and for the record, you will never find better tapes being made than eradicate releases out of winnipeg. kevin makes every tape by hand, EVERY tape, meaning he cuts the actual cassettes so that the time is perfect (no 40 minute gaps of dead air on each side). the packaging is always immaculate. i think he's working on a die young discography too, it looked amazing when i saw the prototype.

here are a few of his releases, including the withdrawal / mellowharsher split we just did. sorry we didn't have any copies with us at the fest.

ill admit. when i see coloured tapes with really good labels and inserts it makes me think twice on the cassette movement
but its just another format i dont want to start collecting
even now im kind of wondering if i should sell all my vinyl and just score the cash since i really only just play things off my speakers and the living room reicever set up we have

ive just finally sold away all my cds, i dont wanna just get into another format

I dunno, Bart Records from Calgary put out some pretty nicely done tapes, including having scented tapes!

the withdrawal tapes smell like mcdonalds and cheap booze, much like the band itself.

tapes are pretty great, though i find myself listening to them a bunch when i first get them, then they collect dust.

with that being said, i'd consider selling these:

hatred surge - deconstruct (package unopened)
dead black - certified mixtape
rival mob - hardcore 4 hardcore


i'll look for more. but yeah. if anybody's into it lemme know. i have a bunch of tapes and will soon probably not have a tape deck.

I don't own a tape deck and I don't plan on getting one. I really really dislike tapes. I am a slave to this digital era... I buy CDs and Vinyl but I pretty much only listen to the rips I make of them. I am a very fickle music listener and I rarely listen to an entire album, I often play albums in incorrect track orders, I often listen to the same track multiple times. Tapes are the LEAST ideal format that exists for someone like me. Needless to say if you only release something on tape, I will never listen to it.
