Hey there! Short update from camp Thanks But No Thanks. We’ve been busy tweaking the website the last few days, and getting orders ready for those who made a purchase as well so expect those to come your way sometime in the next few days. Also, we’ve been taking care of some long-time pending behind-the-scenes stuff. You know, paperwork of the most interesting kind – getting our shit together for SIMIM and taxes, officially changing our address to the new HQ, and all that jazz. Because paperwork is the reason we got into this in the first place!
On a different note, we’ve got another release in the pipeline. But this one will be something somewhat special... we’re happy to say we’ll be releasing an online-only EP by The Rocket at the beginning of August. The Rocket has been working on new material for what seems like ages now and they have been struggling with line-up changes as well, but finally it seems like the dust is settling. The EP will be the first warning shot for a full album set to be released in September by our pals over at Funtime Records, so expect loads of news from these guys the coming months.
Anyway, some new songs will be on the EP (mostly outtakes from the album sessions), and we’re planning on re-issuing some older stuff as well, potentially with new vocals by the new singer. Furthermore, and this is why we’re posting this now, we might try to get some remixes of yet to appear tracks on there as well so if you’re a DJ or producer or whatever and if you feel like cutting and pasting the shit out of some pop punk tunes to twist them into something danceable and put a huge beat under it – by all means please contact us (seriously).
Last but not least, be sure to check out our latest releases by Grey Like Masquerade and F.O.D. (and, by extension all of our previous stuff). These guys are doing really great and we’re pretty goddamn proud of them. Show them some love!
Hi – welcome to our new website. Glad to have you here, please bookmark this place.
As you can see we finally have a decent webstore running a few clicks from here, and from now on this will be considered the hub of all Thanks But No Thanks related activity, and your go-to place for news regarding us and our bands.
Our webstore hasn’t been fully stocked at this exact moment but expect a zillion more releases in it pretty soon. We’re stoked to say we will also be adding all still available Funtime releases retroactively to the catalogue. Being a small indie label is hard enough these days so why not help each other out where possible, right?
Aside from the stuff visible to you guys we’re also working hard in the background. Expect a new addition to our roster pretty soon, and we’re talking with multiple promotional partners and distributors to get word of our bands out there as broad as possible as well. Just so you know, we have been doing all but sitting on our asses lately. So please support our bands - and until the next update.
We sat down with the fine folk of Kloemprock today (yes, we work on Sundays) and can now officially announce the birth of the Thanks But No Thanks Club Stage on this year’s edition of Kloemprock!
The festival will take place on 10th August and among the confirmed bands are both MxPx and Voodoo Glow Skulls. Rumor has is (actually, they told us) the organisation is still working on another big name to add to the bill.
The Thanks But No Thanks Club Stage will feature many of the awesome bands on our roster, so you can check all of ‘em out on one day, one location with a beer stand constantly within crawling distance. And it’s not even your birthday yet.
Anyhow, we’re super excited about this and we hope you are too. More details to follow in the upcoming weeks and months, keep an eye on our website and the Kloemprock website!
