It's been rumored since 2008, and now, it finally exists: Philadelphia's Person L and San Diego's Weatherbox each contribute two brand new tracks to this split EP. This release showcases Kenneth Vasoli and Brian Warren as true masters of their craft, in a constant game of post-punk one-upmanship. Essential listening that is worth the wait.

Interest piqued yet? Details coming soon...

2011-08-10T22:22:00.000-04:00

To describe today's news of the Felix Culpa breaking up as "sad" doesn't really do the feelings I have any sort of justice. I don't properly know how to explain how much this band, and Sever Your Roots specifically, meant to me. It was a little under two years ago that I found myself with the desire to do something more in music besides just write about it; I had kicked around the name "Youth Conspiracy Records" in my head for a while but really had no idea how or where to start. Then, in December 2009, Marky sent me their new record. I honestly, legitimately was flabbergasted. I always knew the Culpa were good; I had no idea they could be that good. And then it hit me: "I have to put this out on vinyl."

Flash forward barely a month, and we somehow managed to have Sever Your Roots in all its vinyl glory ready for the band's album-release show on Jan. 23, 2010, at the Metro in Chicago. (Sidenote: An enormous debt of gratitude goes out to Vince, Matt and the whole Gotta Groove Records crew who busted their humps to turn around 500 double LPs in under a month and over a major holiday, and even hand-delivered them to me on Jan. 22, the day before the show.) I spent the afternoon of the 23rd with the band, their friends and my girlfriend, watching Bio Dome on VHS and stuffing LP sleeve after LP sleeve. I'll never forget the excitement from the guys when they opened the first box we brought in (which conveniently happened to be the clear/black swirl vinyl). I felt so proud, like I had achieved something.

Every time I saw the Culpa, I was always left in awe. They truly were one of the best live bands I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing, from Joel's incredibly complex and melodic drumming to Tristan's unique bass tone and style, to Dustin's adept multi-instrumentalist chops to Marky's unbelievably intense, cathartic vocal performances. In all the times I've seen this band, never once did I see them phone it in. Amazingly, this energy and passion was just as present on Sever Your Roots, something many lesser bands lose in translation to the recorded medium. It is truly an honor to know that I had an extremely small hand in helping spread the gospel of the Felix Culpa, and I wish each member the best in their future endeavors (and openly invite you to come to me with whatever any of you do next, as I'll most likely put it out, no questions asked).

It's funny; today, the same day that the Felix Culpa announced their breakup, I picked up the test pressings for the new Weatherbox 12-inch we're putting out in October. As I sit here currently listening to these Follow The Rattle Of The Afghan Guitar tests, I can't help but realize that there is no chance I would be doing this had it not been for the Felix Culpa believing in me as much as I believed in them.

Thanks, guys.

PS: Not to turn this whole thing into some shilling pitch, but Sever Your Roots is still available in the YCR webstore; however, we have very few copies left and it's sort of a forgone conclusion that this record will not be repressed. So if you want it, now's the time to get it.

"so come on, come on baby
jump in, jump in with me
we'll swim or maybe we'll go down
but at least we'll be together in the end" --The Felix Culpa, "Apologies"

2011-06-29T12:25:00.000-04:00

I've been a huge, huge, huge fan of Weatherbox ever since the first time I heard The Clearing EP back in 2006. Over the past few years, I've seen the band numerous times (and in numerous lineups), and I'm still consistently blown away by how much raw talent Brian Warren has. I am extremely excited to announce that Youth Conspiracy Records will be releasing a brand new, six-song 12-inch from Weatherbox this September. It's being mastered right now, so expect a tracklisting, cover art and more updates soon.

If that's not enough, YCR will also be giving the vinyl treatment to Weatherbox's first album, American Art. This is one of my all-time favorite records, and I am so honored to be a part of bringing it to life on wax. It will be a double LP in a gatefold sleeve with new artwork, lyrics and liner notes left out of the original CD, as well as a digital download of an alternate version of the album never before available. Originally, the plan was to have this out in late summer but the release has been tabled temporarily so we can focus on getting the band's new EP out first. Ideally, it will be out before the end of the year, though!

Weatherbox will be touring this fall; dates TBA.

YCR-002 announced!

2010-12-12T15:36:00.003-05:00

The Forecast's third full-length is self-titled for a reason: It is the band's best work to date, completely defining their sound and purpose. Fusing together the best parts of mid-'90s emo, turn of the century post-hardcore and elements of both timeless country and pop, the band have delivered what is truly a masterpiece, and one of 2010's best albums.

The Forecast was produced by John Naclerio (Brand New, My Chemical Romance, Bayside) and features guest appearances from Geoff Rickly (Thursday), Andy Jackson (Hot Rod Circuit/Terrible Things), Patrick Carrie (Limbeck), Jonathan Lullo (Down To Earth Approach), Paul Carabello (the Ataris) and Rob Applegate and Kevin Ohls (Greyson).

Hot Topic exclusive details

2010-02-12T13:51:00.004-05:00

People have been asking me about this clear/black mix limited to 50 of the new Felix Culpa record, so I thought I'd give everyone a heads up -- the following Hot Topics in Illinois will be stocking this exclusive variant of Sever Your Roots:

Stratford Sq. - Bloomingdale, IL
Harlem Irving Plaza - Chicago, IL
Yorktown Center - Chicago, IL
Gurnee Mills - Gurnee, IL
Cherryvale Mall - Rockford, IL
Cielo Vista - Schaumburg, IL
Hawthorn Mall - Vernon Hills, IL

I've been told these will be available in those stores by the end of next week, so happy hunting!

For those of you not in Illinois, I have held onto a very small amount of the clear/black mixes and will eventually put them in the YCR webstore. I'm not sure exactly how I'll sell them yet; I might increase the price on them and donate the money to Haiti relief or something. Anyway, stay tuned to this blog for more details on how to get one of those.

Also, just to put this out there now: Many of the clear/black mixes look similar to the one posted above, but there are some where LP1 has virtually no black in it at all, so don't be alarmed if you purchase a copy at Hot Topic only to find a clear record. However, all LP2s have the virtually the same black spot/streak as pictured above.

2010-02-02T10:46:00.001-05:00

C'mon, be honest: How sexy does that look?

2010-01-27T02:09:00.002-05:00

The Felix Culpa's album-release show in Chicago last weekend was totally killer -- thanks to everyone who came out and even more thanks to everyone who picked upa copy of Sever Your Roots on vinyl! I ended up having a few copies of the black vinyl (limited to 100) left after the show and after fulfilling all the pre-order package deals, so they're back up in the YCR store. Act fast before they're gone forever!

Also, the pressing info has changed slightly after I got a chance to do a full count and inspection of the whole pressing:

/50 on clear/black mix vinyl (HOT TOPIC EXCLUSIVE)
/108 on black vinyl
/350 on clear vinyl

Those clear/black mixes will be available in Hot Topics in the IL/WI region soon; as soon as I have a solid list of what stores will be carrying them, I'll post it here.

Test pressings are in!

2010-01-13T14:34:00.002-05:00

I just picked up the Sever Your Roots test presses and will be spinning them tonight. Check it out!
