Happy Friday everyone, it's time for an update!
As many of you are aware, the vinyl industry is in complete chaos right now and projects that used to take 8-12 weeks are now taking 16-20 weeks or more for completion, if everything goes smoothly. In fact one manufacturer currently has a turnaround of 30-34 weeks. The plating process is horribly backlogged and the market for vinyl records has been steadily increasing every year without the resources to back it up. It's a nightmare.
With that said, we did not anticipate this to happen "as quickly" as it did nor did we think the Mars Is Heaven LP would take this long as we've never experienced this in the nearly ten years of being a label. We are told though that only the 100 glow in the dark copies remain to be pressed so we know it's not far from them being here! We thank each and every one of you that ordered this LP for your continued patience and understanding. ❤
Even with the vinyl market extremely volatile right now and the uncertainty of the future, we've managed come up with some presale dates and a few hard release dates with some sense of confidence that will make things seem more forgiving in the future. Save these dates!
WASTED 028 Hockey Mom’s - Warming Up The Van LP Presale Date: October 16th
WASTED 029 Iron Tusk/The Knot No Howz - Split 12” EP Presale Date: October 2nd / Release Date: October 29th

The "growing trend" these days of LPs being late from the supplier has mildly affected us as well. With that said, we have some updates for the LPs we are all waiting for.
WASTED 024 - The Moröns-Today's Special; We are told that they were to be on the press a couple weeks ago and expect them to be assembled and shipped out to us anytime now.
WASTED 026 - Me The Guts-Spilt Guts Over Rough Cuts; These LP's are out now!!!
WASTED 027 - Forbidden Dimension-Mars Is Heaven; Tests pressings are on their way to us. If all is good, we are still hoping for a late August release but can spill into September with all the holdups there have been. VIP packs all next to gone and t-shirt preorders end August 7th.
SNFU via Chase The Glory; We have all variants in for the second pressing of Better Than A Stick in the Eye which have been delivered and shipped out to individual orders. A Blessing But With It A Curse is still in transit and will be shipped out ASAP.
We have five more projects in production as we speak so stay tuned in for announcements in the near future!
Our customers are our first priority - that’s why we want to keep you up to date on changes that effect you. Thank you

As there have been people able to bounce back from the ugliness that was 2020, some have not and many are still very much hurting. Some never got the chance to get the help they needed. While music helps soothes the soul, sometimes it’s just not enough. Here at WWR headquarters, we are sick and tired of hearing news of friends and friends of friends and many other loved ones losing their lives more so now than ever it seems. We don’t want to wait for mental health awareness in October. We want to do something now and that something is to donate to the CMHA (Alberta Division) with the profits from ALL the remaining stock in our store until the virtual doors of this business closes. Please help and share this post to let others know that not only can they support local bands but also help donate to something great! #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters

This early summer, we've got Midnight Gallows (Regina, SK) with their debut stoner doom LP "Attack Warning Red", Mandible Klaw (Calgary, AB) with their second full length LP "Mankind Grind", Flashback (Calgary, AB) with their new LP "Heathen of Influence", and Total Wolf (Medicine Hat, AB) with their second LP "Nobody Loves You".
