We've been having some crazy weather this year.  A couple weeks ago a tornado hit Springfield, MA (which isn't too far from Cheapskate HQ).  Springfield, MA is also the home to our good friends The Prozacs.  I was very happy to hear that everyone in The Prozacs are fine and actually left for a brief tour only 2 days after the tornado hit.  Speaking of touring, The Sprains will be leaving the Bay Area to play a couple shows out of state.  On 6/15 they will be in Portland Oregon and on 6/17 they will be in Boise Idaho.  If you live in those areas, go see them. - Jason.

It's been awhile hasn't it?  We are proud to announce a new release which will be hitting the streets 7/27/10 - the debut CD for The Nappies "Next Stop Styx!"  We've been working this release for quite awhile and we are very pleased with the way it turned out.  If you are a fan of Italian pop-punk or horror-influence music you will love The Nappies!  Even though the official release date is 7/27/10 you can order it now, HERE, and the first 50 orders will receive a free glow-in-the-dark button!
We have begun work on our next release, The Sprains "Imitate Art" and hope to have it out by the end of the summer.
The Prozacs "Pieces" 7" is now out of print.  The band should still have copies for sale but we are officially tapped out.
Cheapskate Records is now exclusively distributed by PNJ Distro Co out of San Diego, CA and we are so happy to working with them.  Lastly, you can follow us on twitter - @cheapskaterec. - Jason.

Just a few things to report on this morning.  First off The Fake Boys will be going on tour this summer with Off With Their Heads and Dear Landlord - this should be an amazing tour!  Once I have the tour dates I will post them on here.  Second, I am down to three copies of The Prozacs "Pieces" 7" - all of which are transitional colours.  I'm selling them for $4ppd, which is the normal price.  First come, first serve.  Once these three records are gone, that's it. - Jason.

Attention folks who picked up the free sampler CDs at Hot Topic in the Rotterdam Square Mall (Schenectady, NY)!  First, I'd like to thank you for picking a copy up, more importantly thank you for showing an interest in a label that you probably didn't even know was right in your backyard.  Second, if you liked what you heard on the CD this is a call to action - please go back to Hot Topic and ask about our CDs and records (this will help with getting Hot Topic to carry our music).  Lastly, email me at jason@cheapskaterecords.com if you like to sign up for our newsletter so you can stay up to date what we have in the works.
Speaking of in the works - we are currently working on two new releases that for right now we are keeping hush-hush but we will be unveiling more information on them very very soon.  Stay tuned. - Jason.

Each week Punk N Junk Distro has been giving away $25 gift certificates and each week the contest has been brought to all of you from a different label.  This week's gift certificate is brought to you by us!  So be sure to run over to Punk N Junk and order something (which enters you in the contest)! - Jason.

I've got a few things to report on this time around.  I know it's been awhile since I've posted something but I wanted to wait until I actually had something to write about.  First off two Cheapskate releases are now out of print.  We have sold out of both The Leftovers "Party Tonight!" CD and V/A "Dispense This Too!" compilation CD.  I know Interpunk and Punk N Junk Distro have copies left of the Leftovers disc - so if you are looking for a copy visit one of those sites.  Newbury Comics stores in New England may still have copies in stock as well.
Speaking of Punk N Junk Distro - we are thrilled to welcome one of our distributors back to the "game."  On March 1st Punk N Junk Distro is officially back and they are kicking off their return by giving away gift certificates, so visit their site and try to snatch one.
As for new releases - we've got a few things planned but we are not quite ready to release any information on them.  For right now they are top secret.  More of an update will be coming soon.
Cheapskate Records is now on facebook, so we encourage you to become a fan.  - Jason.
