We are very excited to share with you the latest feature at Dead Format dot com. We want to help those smaller bands out there who do not yet have an outlet for online sales. What we offer is pretty simple. You fill out a form with all the info on your release(s), we ask you to send us some copies of your CDs, we mark it up a little bit, and then we sell your CD(s) alongside the many great titles we currently sell.
If your CDs sell well on Dead Format, there are potential options for us to help distribute your CD more widely. We also offer help with digital distribution with places like Itunes, Rhapsody, Napster, Emusic, and more.

Along with the announcement of our newly launched Free Mix CD Club, we wanted to share with you the first batch of Mix CDs made by your good friends at Suburban Home Records. This is where you can help us out. We are having a contest at the Suburban Home / Dead Format offices to see whose mix tape gets selected the most. The person who has the most popular mix tape throughout the next month will get a $50 gift certificate at the shop of their choice. I realize that this doesn’t help those of you that will be posting mix CDs, but we will have future contests for you. Here is a list of all of the people who have posted mix CDs along with links to their mixes:

“Building a Better ______” by Park
For some unknown reason, Park has managed to evade becoming one of the most renowned bands of the 21st century. Hopefully their latest release, “Building A Better _____”, will change that. This is quite possibly the best sounding, most well produced album I’ve ever heard, and the best part is that it captures the feeling of their flawless live performances. If you’re looking for catchy hooks, honest lyrics full of vivid imagery, unprecedented depth and pure musical integrity, this record will not disappoint you.
Check out some songs for yourself at Park’s Myspace page.

FEAR BEFORE THE MARCH OF FLAMES “THE ALWAYS OPEN MOUTH” CD
Over the past few years, we have become good friends with Fear Before. We worked with them on releasing the vinyl version of Art Damage, they played our 10th anniversary Suburban Home anniversary, and we have on many occasions gotten food together. I take credit for introducing them to Vietnamese food. In the time since knowing the guys, a lot has happened. They have undergone a handful of lineup changes, most notably losing Brandon Proff so that he could focus on his studies. They added some new members and in some ways, are a completely new band. “The Always Open Mouth” is easily Fear Before’s most accomplished recording. Everything from experimental guitar tracks to actual singing and I am not talking about the singing/screaming thing that screamo has bastardized. The chances Fear Before took actually work and I commend them for doing so. This is already my favorite Fear Before release and I really hope this catapults them into a new level. The record captures some of the elements that made the Refused “Shape of Punk to Come” the classic record it has become and I only hope that each and everyone of you take a few minutes to listen to a few songs. Check out some tunes on their myspace page, you will be glad you did:
