12.07.24 A couple of quick notes as the Xmas holiday is quickly approaching: If you are making a purchase with holiday gift giving in mind, it is best to get your order in sooner than later as the U.S. Postal Service is already dealing with a much higher amount of packages right now as usual. Don't wait until the last minute! Also, for customers in the U.S., keep in mind priority mail is always an option if you are running out of time and need something in a hurry. If you need it quicker than regular USPS media mail, just ask for priority mail when you place your order. The last day for any order to ship before Xmas will be on Monday, December 23rd. One more note specifically for folks in Canada: as you most likely are already aware, due to the current, ongoing Canadian postal strike, all postal service from the U.S. to Canada has currently been suspended! Needless to say, no idea when this strike will come to an end, so please keep this in mind before you place an order, as it will be in your best interest to wait until regular postal service resumes. In other news, just got a few new titles for the mail order along with a some restocks! Highlights include: several fresh new singles on Rogue Records including a new single from the Wrong Society; a cool collection of all the studio recordings from 60's group the Fringe on new label Le Backstore; a first time reissue of the great, lone single from Austrian group Les Marquis on the You Are The Cosmos label; and a very welcome 50th anniversary reissue of glam rock group The Damned's lone single on Just Add Water; plus as usual, a nice pile of restocks!

Their sixth full-length album, entitled Internecine Free, is currently set for release right at the end of this month, on November 29th! Featuring a fresh new quintet line-up on this release, with group founder Marty Ratcliffe and long time member Paul Messis joined by Huw Walters, formerly from garage greats the Mystreated, on bass, Gigs De Jong (Colour Collection, MOOON) on drums, and Ali Norton (The Wynter Reign) on Farfisa, the group unleash twelve new cuts meshing 60's-style garage rock and jangly folk-punk, all delivered with an immediate and timeless quality!

For folks living outside of the U.S. wishing to purchase the album directly, especially those that live in a country that has any sort of VAT/GST/customs fees or taxes to be collected by your country's customs officials, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ordering the new album via the 13 O' Clock store on Discogs or via the 13 O' Clock Bandcamp store. By ordering the album via the Discogs or Bandcamp store, these fees can be collected and paid for up front when purchasing the record, and will typically help to make for a much smoother and quicker delivery to you.

In order to allow the bands/artists plenty of time to get back in the swing of things with recording/mixing their upcoming releases once we start to get on the other side of this pandemic, as well as of course the time necessary to get the records pressed, etc... the current upcoming release schedule effectively will be pushed back a bit.

Stay tuned for more info on all of this! As for the mail order, things are still up and running fairly smoothly in spite of the current crisis.

On a somber note, for those that may not have heard the news, Timothy Gassen, the voice and long time main man behind the Marshmallow Overcoat, has passed on. Besides his long tenure with the Overcoat, and his work on his own Garage Nation label, he was a tireless champion of garage rock and "all things fuzz" with roots way back into the early days of the 80's garage rock revival, which he chronicled through his Knights of Fuzz book and dvd releases, including the re-release of his full-blown updated book back in 2014. In the early days of the label, he reached out to me and was very enthusiastic about many of the bands and sounds emanating from the releases on 13 O' Clock. Keeping in touch with him over the years, I am also thankful to have worked with him in releasing a single for one of his own newer groups, the Nobel Krell, a few years back. Thanks for everything Tim! REST IN POWER! FUZZ ON!!! Feeling a little spent from the holidays already?
