August Update

The Fakeboys “Nice Knowing You” CDs came out awesome, but the Fakeboys are heading out on tour this week and all current copies are on the road with them. We hope to have pre-orders up at the beginning of September for online orders. Head over to their blog(http://thefakeblogs.blogspot.com) for tour dates and to pick your self up an advanced copy!

We moved back to a new(old) store through Bigcartel for all future purchases. The LP store will be up for a few days before we take it down for good. All distro items are located under one “curtain” now. Also, we put for sale some limited test presses, the only time you will see these for sale(at very reasonable prices I might add).

Lastly, all Born Without Born tape orders are FINALLY going out. We had to dig through and discover the last 5 or so copies that weren’t in my car when it was stolen. We dug and dug and finally have some to ship out. We will be doing a “2nd” press of this release sometime next month, so be on the lookout for that.

 

We Are Still Here!

Neutral Territory Records has been running for three years now and the last six months of this label’s existence and my own personal life, has been the hardest adversity we have been through. Not to turn this into a personal pity post but between my car being stolen along with all our Distro and all the BWOB cassette tapes, my computer crashing and loosing my job we have had a lot thrown our way.
It is with great pride that we say NTR is still very much alive and we are on the uphill climb to regain what we once had. The past six months has been non existent for Neutral Territory and we are looking to turn the corner and keep forging ahead in 2011.
We previously announced The Fake Boys – ‘Nice Knowing You’ CDEP and that is still on track with Kiss of Death giving it the wax treatment. This should be out early August.
Our good friends in Kill Conrad have decided to call it quits and will be playing their last show this month in Boston. We can remember how bad we wanted to work with those guys and that is still one of my favorite releases to this day. It is only 2.99 in the store and if you haven’t heard it, please pick it up.
The Stereo State are hard at work on their full length release and although we will not be releasing this , we are stoked to hear it and get our hands on a copy as everyone should be. Their 7″ debut is still available in our store or through the band at their Stereo Killer page.
So what does the future hold for NTR? The landscape of punk and hardcore has changed drastically since I first created this label and the past months have put us pretty much in the non existent and who gives a shit category. NTR is not dead , I will be actively seeking bands for new releases or putting together another comp. So please stay tuned and give us any support you can.

Nice Knowing You…

No NTR is not done and it was not nice knowing us. Instead, we are back full steam ahead and ready to announce our next release which has been in works for months.

Kiss Of Death and Neutral Territory Records will releasing the next EP from Massachusetts’s own THE FAKE BOYS. You might remember this boys from a few years back with their split with Frogball, but we hope you have been following them ever since then. ‘Nice Knowing You’ is the next chapter for the band , with 7″/Digital being handled by Kiss of Death, we will be releasing the CDEP. Keep an eye out for tracklist, cover art and pre orders this Summer!

New Store, New Specials
LimitedPressing really impressed us with their new stores and what they offer for them and we decided to go ahead and transition over to them. This will help our growth and to be able to carry more items at once. If you check around the site, all our Band pages are up to date and features a song from each of the respective artist. Discography is coming very soon along with a current About Me and News section. Create an account and follow us on there for all the latest releases and news.

To kick things off with LP we are starting a new special running until we decide to end it. Simply put, buy ANYTHING in the store and pick from 3 current NTR 7″s for HALF OFF. Once you add anything to your cart, go ahed and click “1/2 Off Special” in the store and add the item of your choice.

We all hope you enjoy the new store and a new way to keep up to date with NTR.
