Lots of new tracks and upcoming release information!

It has been awhile and we sincerely apologize for the lapse in communication. A lot of big things are currently in the works for BIG BULLET RECORDS, and we are excited to share them with you in due time.
The previously mentioned split featuring The Demon Beat and Bud Carroll & The Southern Souls was a huge success, selling out in the two release shows. Don’t worry though, you can listen to The Demon Beat’s tracks at Myspace, Muxtape, and Reverb Nation.

In other news, Tucker Riggleman is putting out a split release with NYC (soon to be Seattle)-based Dandelion Snow. Tucker’s three tracks can be previewed right now at his Myspace page. The tracks were recorded by Adam Meisterhans in the BLACK LAB! studio, and feature both Meisterhans and The Fox Hunt’s John R. Miller as additional musicians.

Tucker will be doing a short tour in support of the split. Here are those dates:

May 22nd – 1505 Artworks – Erie, PA
May 23rd – 222 Ormsby – Pittsburgh, PA
May 24th – 200 Princess St. – Shepherdstown, WV

The New Year

Happy New Year to each and every one of you! It is our first New Year as a label (we’re not even a year old yet), and we’ve got plenty of plans for 2009. Let’s give some general updates first.

The Demon Beat’s West Virginia tour was a huge success. They are quickly becoming one of the state’s most exciting bands and people are taking notice — be sure to check out all of the new press on them in our PRESS section. WVRockscene (arguably the best WV music site/blog) has named “Trainwreck” by The Demon Beat as one of their top 10 songs of 2008. 

Greg Loftus was recently interviewed by Jezz Harkin of Breakthru Radio and is currently working on a new record.

Tucker Riggleman has been playing with a backing band called Planned Parenthood. Be sure to check out the videos on his page.

The Resonators have been busy playing shows and are working on an EP in the very near future.

As for 2009, expect our compilation called TERMINAL BALLISTICS Vol. 1 very early in the year. We also have other big things in the works including some possible festival appearances. 

That’s all for right now. We hope you all had a safe holiday season and we wish you the best in the new year.

Stay true,

BBR
