Do you want to submit your music to our writers? Visit our website submission page or click on the link in the bio. We promise to listen to every submission sent to us. At this moment, we do not accept submissions via DMs or email. If you can, please share this with any band you know. We have the capacity to listen to a lot of music! Also, we will not cover everything submitted to us, but we will still cover a lot!

We have some fantastic news! Even though the direct label sales are slow, we’re broadening our relationship with Japan cassette store @tobirarecords . They have the most extensive collection of Z Tapes and Start-track tapes. We’re planning to stock every release we make there. They have a physical and an online store as well. If you are in Japan, please visit them or order from them. This marks a new chapter in our already amazing collaboration, and I hope we can grow together. The Japan store Tobira Records is one of the pillars of the cassette community, and I can’t express my gratitude. Long live Tobira! ❤️❤️❤️ This is a small game (giveaway): If you find our cassette release in the photo, write the name and artist of the release in the comments. We will choose one person who comments to win a free cassette from us.

A #cassette #giveaway. All you need to do is to leave a comment below. We will send it anywhere in the world. Anyone can enter! Sharing is more than welcomed. This is a cassette giveaway to celebrate 100€ raised for our #musicblog so we can continue doing it and support our #writers and team! 🥳❤️

A though for Friday.

Thanks to your amazing support, we have been able to support Slovak community centers with 160€. The nationwide fundraiser is ending this week, so if you have any spare bucks to throw in, visit our compilations and get them. Every euro counts. We decided to give 100% of the proceeds from all our compilations to them.

Thank you to our friends over at @starttrack_com who wrote up some really awesome reviews for “Over It” and “Leaves” 🐦 go check out their website Start-Track.com and give them a follow for awesome reviews, bands, cassettes and more cool stuff Our new album “WWNKATO” drops everywhere 5/22 - presave it now using the link in our bio 📸: @shuttertostandstill #mathrock #musicreview #newmusic #emo #birds

I do not remember times when there were no orders to ship. I miss the times when we had 50 orders in backlog. Times are tough. Everywhere. Everyone. Shall we keep hoping for a better future for our cassette label, or should we focus solely on the blog? What do you think? /Filip

Do you have 3€? That is the price of our tenth compilation, which raises funds for community centres in Slovakia that need our help and also supports our blog. Not much, but every purchase means the world to us. If you cannot support us, you can share it with friends. We are in this together.

Thank you so much for listening to our new releases, especially for landing your ear on our fundraising compilation. Every listen on Bandcamp is worth 10x as much as any stream. Keep doing that!
