POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

It's the 4th of July. Independence Day. We couldn't think of a better day to release Fuck ICE. We're donating proceeds to Food4NJ, a nonprofit that helps the families of detainees at Delaney Hall facing food insecurity.

We're both from NJ, and I (Mike) live about 20 minutes away from Delaney Hall. I grew up in Roxbury, where the federal government tried to put another ICE detention facility (and thankfully failed).

I could write a lot more about this, but I'm sure a lot of you already get it.

I recorded this message so many times to get a version of it that was not me rambling for too long. Thanks for your time. Let's chat.

We are incredibly excited to share "Some Girls Try Too Hard" a all transfem tribute to Enema of the State. Curated by @emdashreed and willed into the universe by @josie.zone, with artwork by the amazing @sandw1tchshop. We have a small batch of cassettes available, and proceeds from this release are going to Trans Lifeline.

Check our Bandcamp. You know how to find it.

What a year. 11 releases under our belt. We are tired but appreciate everyone who checked out a release and grabbed a tape or record. Huge thanks to every single band who participated on various compilations or trusted us with physical copies of their albums in some capacity (there's too many of you to tag).

We've already got some stuff in the pipeline for 2026, and you'll hear more about a couple of them soon.

It's that time again. We have our 5th (mostly) annual-ish entry in our Gift Wrapped compilation series. As usual, we're donating proceeds from this to Toys for Tots, so like Wu Tang, think of the children.

We're doing tapes, but we're pretty much making whatever is ordered with no more than a few extra copies. They'll ship out mid to late January. We'll probably keep the preorder window open until the end of the month before we order blank tapes, so keep that in mind. We took song submissions up until this week so getting tapes ready ahead of time wasn't really feasible. Anyway, if you want one, don't wait on getting one. Link in the bio and in our stories!

This is the last release of the year for us. Honestly, what a year. 11 unique releases (we were hoping for at least 12 but this is still crazy for us).

We're have a bunch more in the works for 2026, so we hope you keep on sticking around for what we have coming. We couldn't do any of this without you all and your support. Thank you!!!

We just put the last 10 copies of Goes to the Movies on vinyl up for sale over on our Bandcamp!!! We do not have any plans to repress this at least in the near future, so if you missed the initial preorder window, this is your last shot!

Featuring @fremontpike @jesssxfc @bobbyedge @abandcalledfrick @emdashreed @terror_toons_ @dejaglue @yoursandmineband @john.cozz @postgospelmusic @draculaandhisbandthedraculas @grand1sle @gettuffstaytuff @savagekylan @siphonedshit and @mikesmithgroup.

From passing out street team stickers and flyers to promote The Black Parade at school and listening to the album song by song in my computer class every morning on their special album website to seeing the entire album played live at the site of my very first concert with friends from legit every era of my life — my GOD I can’t overstate what a landmark show this was for us NJ emos. My heart feels full of room temperature spaghetti. Long live The Black Parade ♥️🖤

I know I’ve talked a lot of shit about My Chemical Romance (okay, mostly about The Black Parade album), but seeing them play Skylines and Turnstiles in the biggest stadium in the country reminded me that because of them, there is/was always a home for every weird kid with a flare for the dramatic — especially a weird girl from New Jersey who spent her childhood obsessed with vampires and wanting to get revenge on my bullies. They deserve every bit of fame and respect they have. Long live My Chemical Romance from Belleville, NJ.

So this fuckin thing came out on Friday!?!

Last few days have been like a weird blur. We started recording this album a year ago. We finished writing the songs before I left for 🇮🇪. It’s really cool that the record is in hand, which sounds great. We’ve taken a long road to get to this point and it’s just been really cool that my friends have been reaching out to me all weekend to tell me they like the record or they like one of the songs. I’m stoked about that. That really means a lot.

Thank you to Dave and Jon at State Of Mind for putting this out. Jon really jumped all over this and was eager to help put this out and Dave has really been nothing short of incredible. Two dudes who just love punk and have just been so great at helping bands out in any way they can.

Thanks to A Few Good Records as well, who are putting out the cassette version.

Also thanks to all the people who have ever been in Lesser Minds, so Anthony, Sara, Alex, Adam, and John, we wouldn’t have gotten to this LP w/o you.

I love my supportive family, Kristen and Sheena. Thank you.

Also, I love my friends.

What’s great is… in 3 weeks I get to relive this again when the @hundredsofau record comes out. 19 days, preorder available @iodinerecordings and @deathwishinc

New @lessermindshc is available now! Streaming everywhere, vinyl through @stateofmindrecordings, cassettes through us. Head on over to our Bandcamp to lock in a tape!

They're currently in production and we expect to ship around early to mid September.

Also, while you're here, it's Bandcamp Friday!!!! We discounted our full digital discography even further for the weekend. You can grab 65 catalog number releases (including this) for about $53. Insane deal when you consider how much music that is.
