UPDATES: September 2010

Irrelevant Recordings is on the move! Over this weekend we're moving from Charleston, SC to Atlanta, GA. This is why nothing has gone up in the store yet, I wanted to wait until we got the new address and such, just to make things go a bit smoother.



The Spider + Octopus (pictured above!) double tapes have been done and ready to ship for some time now. So as soon as we get settled in our new southern apartment, they'll be up online for the world to purchase.




Also, the Tapeworms Eat Bookworms, "Old Forms" 7"s are ready to go, well, all except the covers, we're going through some technical difficulties in getting the covers finished up, but I hope to have them in my possession within the next week or so. There will be 50 of these on purple vinyl, and 49 on black vinyl. All with hand numbered, screen-printed covers. Watch and listen to the B-side of the 7" above.

Lastly, i'm waiting for the test presses of the L. Eugene Methe "Sentimental Education" 7". They should be in my hands any day now. Expecting this 7" to be out by mid to late October.

I will be announcing some really exciting things pretty soon, so stay tuned!

UPDATES: August

Here's what's been going on as of late: First off, the Spider + Octopus double tape release is going through some set backs at the moment. We hoped to have them finished and ready by the 20th of this month, but we're not going to be able to meet that deadline. I'm expecting them to be done by the middle of September. My fingers are crossed.

Secondly, the test pressings for the Tapeworms Eat Bookworms "Old Forms" 7" have been received and approved. The plant is currently working on the final product, and we're about to get started on screening the covers. This should be ready by the middle of September as well.

And last but not least, I've heard the demos for the new L. Eugene Methe 7" entitled "Sentimental Education" and i can say that i'm really excited to be putting this release out. Folk music at it's best. We're shooting for an October release with this one. Click on the artist link here on the website to listen to one of the songs from the 7" called "Twisted Roots". Enjoy!

That's all for now.

UPDATES: July (first post!)

Hello Internet. We have some wonderful things in the works here in Charleston. Fist off, the Spider + Octopus tapes should be available incredibly soon. I will be dubbing and dubbing for the next two or three weeks. If you don't already know, they have just completed a double album, which is really great, so we will be putting out a double tape. Ist I and Ist II, both available on black cassettes.

In other news, the Tapeworms Eat Bookworms, Old Forms 7" is at the plant and in the works. I expect to have the test presses any day now. Also, you should immediately head over to the Mirror Universe Tapes website and pick up the brand new Tapeworms Eat Bookworms cassette, Space Burial. It's great stuff, and it's cheap!

Last of all, the great and wonderful L. Eugene Methe is currently recording a new ep, to be released on Irrelevant Recordings! But for now, you should head over to Unread records and pick up his latest batch of songs on the Hey Jack 7". L. E. Methe was also featured on the "I Think I Might Be Autistic" comp that just came out on Chthonic Records, It's a great tape with some other really great artists. Go pick it up!
