Happy Friday the 13th! Here are some quick updates! The BEAU NAVIRE/REPUBLIC OF DREAMS split 7″ preorders have been selling really fast, its in your best interest to pick one up now rather than risk missing out later!
We are temporarily out of stock of the DVDs for the 1994! “fckyrhed LP repress, the records themselves are still for sale but without dvds included, prices have been lowered for the time being until we get additional DVDs in!
Lastly, it is confirmed, we are split releasing NÖ PÖWER’s upcoming “no axis” 7″ with Self Aware records. NÖ PÖWER features people from GRIDS and OBSTRUCTION and play absolutely blown out, distorted, raw punk/hardcore. The record is heading off to be mastered this weekend and should be out soon. Preorder information very soon.

Lots happening since the last website update! Inkblot Records has left the borough of Brooklyn for greener pastures in Queens, we bbq A LOT now! We also have a bunch of sweet releases on the way in the next few months.

First up and currently at the pressing plant will be a split 7″ from oakland’s BEAU NAVIRE (members of Loma Prieta etc) and germany’s REPUBLIC OF DREAMS (members of Louise Cyphre). Both bands revive the 90’s emoviolence/chaotic hardcore sound better than anyone else in the game these days, this record will bring you back to the glory days of the genre. The release is being split released by Inkblot, React With Protest, Moment of Collapse etc so we will only have about 200 copies in stock. Preorders will be going up any day now. Colored wax, die cut covers etc. Keep checking back for details.

Next we have a split 7″ from BIG KIDS (members of Spires, Acid Fast, New Trust) and BOYFRIENDS (members of 1994! and Snowing). BIG KIDS follows up a slew of releases with more of their Samiam, Seaweed & Knapsack influenced melodic punk while BOYFRIENDS take the best aspects of their other bands and combine them to create memorable and catchy 90s midwestern style emo. This is going to be a split release with our favorite record label, Square of Opposition records. Out sometime early in 2012.

Later on in 2012 BEAU NAVIRE will be dropping a new LP that they are currently writing for and hopefully we will be involved with releasing something from ex-GRIDS band NÖ PÖWER who deliver blown out, raw, reverb and delay soaked hardcore reminiscent of Spanish hardcore like Invasion and Destino Final. More details on this as we get them!

The last batch of 1994! preorders ships this week! So thankful for all the orders and your patience!!! We will be totally caught up on all other orders as well this week!

In upcoming releases news, Oakland’s BEAU NAVIRE is writing a new LP to be released by us this winter 2011/2012, dudes have put out a slew of releases in the last year and have played a bunch of west coast shows and are wrapping up a euro tour now. Really excited to work with these guys!

Also we are currently planning a new split label release with square of opposition and another label tba to put out a split 7″ by PA’s BOYFRIENDS (members of 1994! and Snowing) and Oakland’s BIG KIDS (members of Spires, The New Trust, Acid Fast etc). Can’t tell you how psyched we are to be involved with this. Expect this one in the fall.

The 1994! – Fckyrhed LP/DVD reissues will be shipping out in the coming days, we only just got a small batch of dvds today which should cover MOST preorders, we will ship out oldest orders first and the remaining when the next batch of DVDs comes in in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for everybody’s patience with these.

In other news we are excited to announce our next release will be with Oakland CA’s BEAU NAVIRE. Currently on tour in Europe and sharing members with various other Bay Area hardcore bands, these busy guys have released a demo, three splits, a one sided twelve inch and a full length in little more than a year. They play dynamic chaotic hardcore with a heavy nod toward late 90s emoviolence. Constantly playing up and down the west coast, more extensive US touring can be expected when the band returns from Europe to continue writing their upcoming new LP for Inkblot. Really psyched about this record! Check them out at:

Expect this out in winter 2011/2012. More releases to be announced really soon!

Some pretty cool stuff going on in the world of inkblot records. 1994! and GRIDS are both playing The Fest in Gainesville Florida this coming October. If you are down there make sure to hit their show. GRIDS just finished up recording a new LP which they are hoping to have self released in time for The Fest. I heard some songs and holy shit, if you love the “white walls” LP you are going to be so pleased with the new stuff. keep an eye on their myspace page for details. Speaking of the “white walls” LP we are running pretty low so if you want to get the vinyl do it now. They won’t be around very long. Running very low on both 1994! LPs as well.

[08.22.2010]
We have less than 50 copies each of the GRIDS LP and new 1994! LP left available, when they are gone they are gone so act now if you want a copy. The bands have these at shows as well as Revhq and No Idea (as of this coming week) have small quantities available as well. Don’t miss out on two of the year’s best releases!
