We’ve just launched the new AWOLNATION Micro-site complete with Topspin Video, Audio, Mailing List and Buy Button integrations. And a fancy Twitter feed from NASA.
Also, check out the AWOLNATION “Back From Earth” Digital EP Cover we designed! Available now on iTunes and direct via Topspin. Great photo from our good friend Piper Ferguson!
So, it’s official, we’re working with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club on their upcoming 5th album, Beat The Devil’s Tattoo. It’s coming March 9th, 2010 and from the roughs the boys sent us at the start of the process, it’s FUCKING GREAT. Seriously great. You’ll hear for yourself soon enough.
Let’s just say when we were approached by Grant at New Sound to do the package, the new site and the rest of the branding for this album and upcoming tour, we were ecstatic. And then when we met with Robert and Peter to go over direction and their vision for this record it just all clicked.
For now, here’s the admat we’ve done for the upcoming tour, post courtesy of Kat Corbett at KROQ. (Thanks to Tessa Angus for the great photo..)
Check out the rest of the dates over at the BRMC Site or buy tickets via Ticketmaster and TicketWeb.
We’ve had the joy of working with the Twin Atlantic guys on their upcoming release’s packaging - VIVARIUM, coming out on Red Bull Records on September 14th. Love these guys and definitely a band to watch in the coming months.
This artwork is for the first single, LIGHTSPEED [Click here to check out the video and download the track for free] The original shot by Ross McNae, taken from the awesome packaging shoot we did with him here in our studio. Obviously we’ve tweaked it a bit =)
The album package is going to be insane, just you wait. It’s got a pop-up element. What? That’s right, pop-up element. You’ll have to buy it to see for yourself. We’ll post pics here as soon as we get one in hand.
Another great reissue.. this time we were brought in by the Beasties to give Check Your Head the royal treatment.
Limited Edition of 2000 - 4 pieces of 180 gram vinyl includes the full remastered album and the original 4 12″ singles - so 36 tracks total.
Working with Yauch on this one, we decided to turn this into an 8-panel gatefold book with silver foil on the cover and spine and a bunch of mixed varnishes throughout. Used the back of the Jimmy James 12″ Single as the back cover, included the full original photo collage, and changed up the colors on the original Grand Royal labels.
Then, to top it off, we thought it would look sick if this gatefold book slipped into a linen-wrapped case - and if that linen-wrapped case had the cover and spine image hot-stamped on in black foil for a subtle black-on-black vibe. Classy. And definitely a collector’s item.
Below is a little teaser of the package. You can order it direct from the Boys HERE, while they last and they ship out around 4/30/09. We’ll post some actual pics of the full pacakge once they’re back from the plant.
Check out the packages for the CD reissue, standard vinyl and download-only too. And grab the “Fat Shit In ‘92″ tee too! That shit’s a classic! We had to fully recreate the tee from scratch to match the original - only a limited number of these available too:
We’re proud to introduce Mom Party Boxed Wine! We’ve been developing this special blend of what we think are grapes out in our Newark, NJ vineyards for over 5 years. That’s a long time. Well, to be honest, we’ve just been waiting for the US economy to take a massive shit before launching - perfect market conditions for this stress killing mixture! Look for it in bargain liquor and grocery stores nationwide April 15th!
