We have a tonnnn of ideas up our sleeves for 2012 releases and we’re excited to see exactly what materializes.

We also look to run more contests and give you guys more free stuff for 2012 and to get off on the right foot, check out this contest we have teamed up with our BFF Rev HQ for

December has approached us like a quick fuck in the bathroom at a gas station with a stranger...

We have some pretty big and/or exciting news but we aren't telling till the ink has dried.

While we don’t think there needs to be one day of the year to appreciate what you have, we are glad that we have days like today to remind everyone of the family and friends and support they have. Peter and I wish that we could share unlimited tofurkey dinners with each and every one of you today as we are thankful for your support and help along the ways.

To show our on-going appreciation, we have lowered the prices of EVERYTHING over at deadtruthrecordings.bigcartel.com . We got kind of crazy with these prices and they are good just through the weekend so jump on them.

Our good friends in Everymen, Kingdom, Forty Winters and Remembering Never are all active and either writing, booking or touring so keep an eye out for some big news soon.

Thank you. Again.

Things were pretty hectic here over the last few months but have finally started to slow down (good thing or bad?).

Everymen recently blessed the East Coast with their presence during a recent tour. They look forward to being back on the road soon. Don’t miss them if they play in your town. It’s the most fun you’ll ever have. Don’t believe me? Check their youtube account.  http://www.youtube.com/everymensounds

Kingdom is working on recording some new material. Keep in the loop on this progress on their http://xkingdomx.blogspot.com/

Forty Winters is working on their Euro tour. Very exciting for them. Stay tuned for more details.

Also happening in the world right now: An honorable group of people camping out near Wall Street to peacefully protest the disgusting corporate greed in America and the fact that 1% of American’s own about 50% of the wealth in this country. If you think companies should value people over their profits or if you’re part of the 99% of the country fighting over half of the wealth, please check out their movement here (including a 24/7 live stream of the park). http://anonops.blogspot.com/

Thanks for reading and supporting.

Kingdom is gearing up for their Euro tour (Sept/Oct) in a few weeks and have some new items in their webstore (www.xkingdomx.bigcartel.com).

Forty Winters is also gearing up for their (first) venture to Europe with Costa Rican powerhouse and our good friends in Billy The Kid for most of October. Europe, we love you, be good to these young men.

Our friends Hails & Horns talked to Xavier , Tony, and Peter about their most influential videos, check out what they had to say here: http://www.hailsandhorns.com/interview/retro-video-xavier-vicuna-of-forty-winters-talks-bleeding-throughs-%E2%80%9Clove-lost-in-a-hale-of-gunfire%E2%80%9D/ & here http://www.hailsandhorns.com/interview/retro-video-tony-medellin-of-make-it-reign-talks-crowbars-the-lasting-dose/

Remembering Never are sweating it out in their warehouse, smashing the fuck out of some new songs. We are expecting This Hell Is Home early 2012.

Thats all for now. Be excellent to each other.

DTR is proud to announce we will be releasing Everymen’s “When Water’s Thicker Than Blood” on 12″ vinyl.

This is new territory for us and we are excited to be working with a new band who has such a strong work ethic, creativity, and overall personality. Everymen is somewhere between Skynyrd and Against Me! with a little Tom Waits flavor. Their live shows are something special and never to be missed. Above all things that Everymen has, that a lot of bands seem to lack these days, is soul.

Everymen will be dropping jaws and panties all over the U.S. this summer. Dates will be up soon.
Pre-orders are up now at www.deadtruthrecordings.bigcartel.com/artist/everymen . The vinyl is being pressed in 3 different color combinations and every order comes with a limited patch. We will also be giving away 3 test presses randomly with pre-orders.

When Water’s Thicker Than Blood will be released on CD/Digital through Wayward Parade Entertainment (Website and more details coming soon), our good friend, John Wylie’s new label with Serg from Everymen.

Check back for tour dates soon. No, foreal, you DO NOT want to miss them live. You’ll kick yourself later for it. Promise.

Thank you to everyone that pre-ordered the Kingdom 7″. They will be shipping asap and Kingdom will be hittng the road soon. Learn the new songs as this is their BEST material to date. These tracks are hard as fuck.

Make It Reign & Forty Winters are on the road together with Maya Over Eyes right now in support of their respective debut full lengths. Catch them where you can, both bands are impressive to witness with the naked eye.

Anyhow, its time for bed…

wish your fathers a happy day on Sunday.

We are super excited to announce that the Kingdom Threads 7″ has left the plant (none other than the famous Pirates Press, of course) and is on the way to DTR HQ.

Pre-orders have exceeded our expectations and all pre-orders will ship on June 17th! Hopefully some of you will receive this even before the official 6/21 street date. www.deadtruthrecordings.bigcartel.com

Pre-orders come with the most rare color 7″, a limited T-shirt designed by Davin herself (if you order the package), a sticker, a button, a digital download card and whatever other free goodies we might be able to throw in.

The most rare color combo (All white, only 150 pressed) will probably sell out during pre-orders. Don’t miss the opportunity to get the most rare color!

Kingdom is planning their tour as we speak with most dates booked. You can check out their blogspot ( http://xkingdomx.blogspot.com/ ) for more info.

On another note, we are currently working on our next release, DTR-014. We at Dead Truth are very excited about this. As we continue to round-out our label and bring you the best bands of all genres, we look forward to dropping this release. We will provide another update soon with all the deets!

Derek-DTFR

The sampler includes at least one song off every DTR release so far (DTR-001-DTR013) including some unreleased songs that you have never had the opportunity to hear.

You can download and share this sampler by going to http://www.mediafire.com/?sw3ag2h99xl9psm

Please spread this around and tell us what you think.

Also! Tomorrow (Sunday 5/2) will be the final day to pre-order the Forty Winters and Make It Reign CD/T-shirt pre-orders. Remember, pre-orders are dirt cheap ($16 bucks for a shirt AND a CD) and we are giving away free posters, stickers, buttons and more with every single order.

Kingdom “Threads” Pre-orders have been up for almost a week and they are literally (LITERALLY) flying off the shelf. We are pressing this 7″ of brand new songs in 3 color combinations. The most rare of which will probably sell out before the pre-orders are up.

Thanks to everyone who has already pre-ordered any of these three releases. Peter and I can’t thank you enough for the support.
