One Percent Press and Failures’ Union have started a fund raising effort to help release their 2007 album “Sinker” on vinyl through the program Kickstarter. We plan on releasing the record before their tour of the UK with the band Bedford Falls. In addition to having LPs, both bands should have a split 7″ together for the tour.
You can read more about our fundraiser efforts on our Kickstarter page and you can view the UK dates on the Failures’ Union show page.
Also, in a rare synchronicity, a video that the band shot back in 2007 with Eric Ayotte and Super Bobby has been salvaged and is now being hosted on If You Make it. The video was shot in support of “Sinker” but was scrapped when a chunk of the footage was lost. What luck that it should turn up now, right when we are re-releasing the album on LP!
You can view the video at If You Make It.
If you’d rather have the CD version anyway, why don’t you take a look in our shop.
Check out the myspace for more info. Both bands are touring in support of a split 7″, so you should make it out to pick that up. I’ve heard The Failures’ Union side and it’s pretty great. Oh, and they cover “Start Choppin” by Dinosaur Jr. if that’s any help.
Also, scroll down the shop and pick up Sinker which we released in 2007, if you haven’t already, and make those songs sing-a-longs!
Check out the band’s website for a full listing of all their tour dates for the next five weeks. The band will be touring with the band Cheap Girls in support of their new album “In What Way” which is out now on the Paper + Plastick record label.
You can read more about the tour and the release at Southern Lovin’ PR.
The band released the album “Sinker” with us in 2008. Check it out in the shop.
