Hey everyone, so we are going a little crazy trying to be in two places at the same time and get our shop moved but it would be a whole lot worse without the amazing help we have received from our friends!

First up Lynn Twinning get's the painting done! Much neater than I ever could!

Next up Evan from local amazing HC band MINDSET does an sick job on some drywall!

And John Twining (yep they are brother and sister team!) Gets the painted and built LP bins in the store!

I can not thank all of them enough and Benn and Rachel at Atomic for letting this all happen!

Playing Catch up!

Hey everyone! So I've been neglecting the blog again but I plan on keeping up with it, so book mark this thing! Ok here is a rundown of everything important from the last few months!

First Celebrated Summer is moving locations! Our last day at our Towson store will be Sunday June 27th and will also be marked by this show:

We are very sad to be leaving our home of the past four years inside of Legends Comics but cannot wait to join the Atomic Books Family! After this final show we will be closed until July 2nd when we have this opening day fun:

After this we will be celebrating our Four year anniversary and grand opening at the Golden West Cafe. This show is going to be insane!

We will also be using our move as a chance to make some improvements in the overall design of the shop. Our great friend John Twinning has designed and built these new record bins as our old ones were getting very rickety. More construction updates as they occur!

NEW BINS!

So what else has happened in the last year??? Glad you asked!

One of our favorite Power-Pop purveyors Gentleman Jesse played in the shop!

Me and the Boys out front!

Video of the show taken by Noel Danger!

RAW NERVE also came by for a set with TRIAC and MIND AS PRISON who also killed it!

RAW NERVE!

Hmm, even though it happened over an entire YEAR ago, it looks like I never put up footage of MASSHYSTERI playing in the shop! These Natives of Umea, Sweeden play some of my favorite Punk ever! they also have a brand new LP out since this show.

Footage again taken by our own Noel Danger!

Hmm what else? We went back to Japan last year and had one of our greatest trips ever! I was once again hosted by my great friend Jesse Conway and saw amazing bands and bought great records! Here is a quick look:

I love Ponyo!

Dutch Deep Sleep Review

"Grave Mistake, known for high quality 80s hardcore punk, has his first CD Deep Sleep delivered. The CD contains 21 tracks, lasts 25 minutes and consists of three previously recorded 7 "EPs entitled Paranoid Futures, Manic Euphoria and You're Screwed.

Deep Sleep fits perfectly in my shed of Grave Mistake home. You immediately hear that the men from Baltimore influenced by Adolescents and old descendants in voting and I even had to immediately think of Milo, but a little snot tier. Although I do not normally like that smooth straps hold had been, poppier tracks a bit to my taste, but the raw edges of course also be the charm. I see at least in this band.
Maybe not your new favorite band of all time, but without doubt a punk-rock reinforcement plates for each cabinet."

BALZAC Superfan!

So I like BALZAC, The Japanese Misfits/Samhain styled Horrorpunk band. I try not to obsess too hard as they have hundreds of Toys, Shirts and releases, many more than I will ever be able to collect. Now and again however I get a email about some new DVD or record and I put in an order without thinking about it too much. While on the DEEP SLEEP tour I got an email for the "Hatred lies deep inside" 2x DVD. Without thinking I sent out in an order and today THIS monster showed up??? Just to give some perspective the total package was 666mm or 26 inches or so all the way around!
