Welcome to the contact page. If you’d like me to take the time to read/reply to your email, please take a minute and read my FAQ and possibly we can avoid the email all together. I’d way rather be getting mail order out fast than doing emails all day and you would to. And if you just want to say hi – facebarf or twatter is better. Thanks and cheers! Scotty

* I want to order from the webstore but I don’t have paypal/credit card, can I send a money order/cash?

Yes, no problem. Please use the webstore to place your order, it will reserve the records for you and give you a total including postage. In the comments section of your order, let me know you’ll be mailing payment (if you don’t do this, I can’t hold your records). Then print out (or write) your order, put it in an envelope with a money order (no checks!) made out to TANKCRIMES and send it to the address below.  Cash is accepted at your risk, sending cash in the mail can be sketchy and I advise against it.

*Where do I send my demo?

Preferably to a different label, I strongly discourage you from sending me anything.

*How about if I send you some mp3′s or a link to our myspace?

Please do not do this, I will not respond.

*My band/label is looking for distribution, can you sell our stuff in your webstore? Do you trade releases?

I do trade releases but am very selective. Take a look at what’s in the store to get an idea. If you have a killer punk or metal release I might be interested. I don’t always reply.

*Can you set up a show for my band?

No.

*My store/distro wants to carry your CDs/LPs, and other wholesale questions.

Tankcrimes is distributed by INDEPENDENT LABEL DISTRIBUTION and EBULLITION worldwide. Please contact them for wholesale orders. They are all very awesome, professional and there are many other killer labels records available from them.

*Can you tell me when _________ record will be released?

Sign up for the email list, follow us an facebarf or stop by this site often and you won’t miss out on anything.

*How do I do it yourself?

I use PIRATES PRESS for all of our vinyl and cds. MAMMOTH SOUND MASTERING for mastering. Jackets/sleeves and inserts are either done through PIRATES PRESS (gatefolds and standard jackets), MONOLITH PRESS (screen printing) and/or ECONOPRESS (offset posters, inserts and ep covers) depending on the job. Cassettes are done at NAC. I highly recommend all of these fine independent businesses.
