Happy Birthday, gorgeous.

The bundle deal is wild — after the code discount it’s like $32 for BOTH LPs. If you’ve been on the fence about checking us out, here’s your best chance! Both are super high-quality pressings and the packaging and art are 🤌 *chef’s kiss* if I must say so.

Huge 25% off sale on both of our LPs now through Monday night over at the @warhenrecords.bsky.social Bandcamp page! Just use code CHEAPDATES You can even bundle both records for MAJOR savings. Restless Spirit turns ONE on Monday. Let’s celebrate! tuckerriggleman.bandcamp.com/album/restle...

“The Big Game Is Every Night” was probably kept off of bcuz it’s 10 mins long, but let it sink in how good the Magnolia Electric Co. album by Songs: Ohia is that the bonus track would be a career defining best song for so many other artists. Molina was one of a kind.

Incoming Virginia ragers with @deadbillionaires.bsky.social Come say hi!

Rager incoming at The Lantern in Lex, KY on 3/21 with @warhenrecords.bsky.social brethren Dogwood Tales & hometown heroes Otto Helmuth. Don’t miss it!
