FOUR New Vinyl Releases (VERSOMA, WINDMILLS BY THE OCEAN, PINK RAZORS, ULTRA DOLPHINS)

Hey folks, so we just put out FOUR new LPs... yeah, lots of vinyl. To make it more confusing, there's three different color vinyl variations for each release... 12 different color-combinations total. Wait, it needs to be more weird? Two of these releases have pre-order combo packages where you can get an exclusive t-shirt design through our site only. Oh, and music? It's the debut material from four vastly different bands: PINK RAZORS, ULTRA DOLPHINS, VERSOMA and WINDMILLS BY THE OCEAN.

I don't even really know where to begin... so I won't. There's so much text, other photos and MP3 links on our site that you'd probably just be best off going there if you're interested. Thanks, and enjoy!

P.S. this is all done through PayPal only pretty much... eChecks are still chill.
