Fat Sandwich Records

Hey, guess what? Another post mainly about LA ARMADA! Those guys just keep kicking ass and giving me stuff to write about. Anyway…we officially sold out of the first pressing of the LA ARMADA record in September. That’s a first for us so thanks to anyone who picked up a copy! If you haven’t gotten one yet, not to fear, we already have the repress in. This time around we did a split release with our friends at Encapsulated Records. We both have an exclusive color of vinyl. Here’s the pressing info:

100 Clear Red vinyl (Fat Sandwich exclusive)
100 Clear Green vinyl (Encapsulated exclusive)
300 Opaque Yellow vinyl

I LUV I JAH.

We are going to be moving at the end of this month. The extra bedroom of my house has gotten more than a little cluttered/full and it would be awesome if there was less stuff to move. The sale will run until the end of October. The majority of items in the store are marked down and there are a couple specials up.

- Seven 7″ records for only $10! You give us ten bucks. We pick out seven awesome records for your listening pleasure.
ORDER HERE

- Five CDs for only $5! You give us $5. We pick out five awesome cds for your listening pleasure.
ORDER HERE

As always, we try to throw in extra stuff in all our orders. In fact, I just bought a bunch of Halloween candy to help rot your teeth. Thanks in advance for helping us clear out some stuff!

More info/pre-orders should be up for the NIGHTMARE BOYZZZ/YOUNGER SIBLINGS Split 7″ soon! LA ARMADA repress should be out soon too!

Lots of things going on right now. I’m gonna try to get through them without being long winded. First of all, we have a brand new logo! Our good friend Anthoney Carter designed it for us. You can check out his website right here. You may recognize him as one half of GRIM. He also did the design for their 7″ that you can buy here. In the next month or so we will be going through a total rebranding with a new website, store, bandcamp, stickers, buttons, etc. all with the new logo.
