You Blew It!

We’ve had some lovely nods for these young upstarts and hope to see more. They’ve just now started to get things together, so be patient. There’s a winter tour in the works for these guys, as well. Keep your ears to the ground.

UPDATE: You Blew It & The Mystery of the Skunk Ape

Good Friends Records — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 23:10:26 +0000

Greetings from the world of Good Friends, everybody! I understand that there’s some business to attend to. Our webstore went down for a hot minute, and I’d like to apologize to everyone who tried to order but couldn’t while it was down, on behalf of the company. Having your store go down seems bad, but while it was down we were able to look at it and try to figure out ways to make it better. So, we’re going to work on doing that.

Also! We’re going to be helping Orlando’s YOU BLEW IT with their upcoming EP “The Past In Present”. We’re slating it for an August 3rd release. They’ll be on tour for that, too.

Over the Winter a few of us got together and created “The Mystery of the Skunk Ape”. There’s more information about it at: http://fakeproblems.com/sape.html

Also! Fake Problems’ is hard at work in the studio. We’ll be on Warped Tour all summer, so check us out there– we’ll have all of our releases available there! <3 Derek

The Summer of ‘09

Good Friends Records — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 21:43:54 +0000

Hello Everybody! We’re all terribly sorry about the lack of updating and general information about what we’ve been doing– it’s just that we’ve been so busy stuffing envelopes! We want to thank all of the people who’ve been ordering; and a special hat tip to those on the other side of the Atlantic.

Also! Fake Problems has been having a great time on tour. There’s a lot of stuff on You Tube. I’ve decided to save my imbeded media for promotion of a film Sean and I made on tour, named Le Percolator. Le Percolator

Future releases? Well, we’ve got some stuff cooking. It’s all in the works. I’ve got to let Derill shoot off the big announcements, but, who knows, perhaps it’ll be a v-log or something. Our Frank Turner has a new record coming out on Epitaph this fall. It’ll be serious. Paper+Plastic/Epitaph are doing all of the wax stuff now adays, but since those are both real labels we’re very happy to pass Frank on. Actually, he’s going to let us release one more of his older records, in the future.

And now, everyone’s favorite part of my updates– the shit talk.

I recently ran into these four losers in Buffalo, NY. They’re a Fake Problems / No Idea rip-off from South Florida. Instead of coming under the wing of yours truely, these innovators are really shaking up us corporate boys by opening for us then being rude. If they hadn’t run off so quickly I would be posting a police beat from that evening. I hope somebody does something awful to their van or something comically bad happens to them.

A cold hard look at when assholes shapeshift.

Last Chance!

Hey everyone!

We were taking an inventory here at Goodfriends world head quarters before Fake Problems hit the road again and discovered a few boxes of records that we thought we had sold out of quite a while ago. So in short we have like 15, Frank Turner “Campfire Punk Rock” 10″ , in the black and yellow swirl left. Also we found a box of the Look Mexico “This is Animal Music” LP’s, with a black and cream A/B side. Both really good records and these are definitely the coolest looking of the pressings. I also found a box of tour posters from Fake Problems previous tours with the likes of Against Me, The River Boat Gamblers, “Cheese Fest ” from the epic summer tour of ‘07 with Look Mexico and many more as well that i will be throwing in with all the orders. So if you wanna get your hands on any of these rare records, just go to the webstore and order them as you normally would but when it gets to the part of the checkout that asks if you want to write a note to attach with the order just type in swirl and i’ll make sure you get one. I will also make another post letting everyone know when they are sold out. Also on the selling out of records note… there are only like 100 Fake Problems picture discs left, so if you want one of these you better get one now because once they are gone they are gone forever! and ever!

And go buy Fake Problems new record ” It’s Great To Be Alive” out TODAY on Sideone Dummy Records! @ www.sideonedummy.com!

whoooooooah

hey alright so i been gone for a while, but i’m back now. at least for a little while. Tour was great, i got a bunch of pics to post on the “caseys pictures” section, but my computer is acting up right now so i’m doing this from derill’s computer. anyhow, hope derill treated you all nice if you ordered a record while i was gone, i’m sure he did he’s a good guy. but if he didn’t and he peed in your record or something gross like that or if you didn’t get sent something, give us a holler and we’ll take care of it asap. other than that, it’s great to be back in florida, the weather is absolutely beautiful. i freaking love it!! also, if you haven’t checked out the new broken gold and 500 miles to memphis, you need to, and theres still a few evel knievel picture discs left. so if you want one of those you may want to act quickly. ok well hope everyones been well, and thanks to everyone for everything!

WEBSTORE WORKS!

Good Friends Records — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 20:12:05 +0000

The webstore is back up and live again, so anyone that wants to get their hands on one of the totally awesome FP picture discs we still have about 100 left. You better act fast though, they will be going quickly. I just got word today that our next release from Broken Gold, their debut 7″, was shipped this week. That means we will be getting it next week and will have it up for sale shortly there after. The record was pressed on clear blue, yellow, and a blue and yellow splatter and it includes a free digital download. The artwork was done by horsebites and it rules. I’m really excited about this band and this record as they really are our Goodfriends and some of the nicest most rockin dudes on the planet. So get back to the webstore when you can and be looking for this totally awesome 7” sometime next weekish!

Broken Gold 7″ PSA

Shitty Webhost! sorry!

Good Friends Records — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 21:30:37 +0000

If anyone has tried to place and order in the last 24 hours and it hasnt worked, its because our web host took our webstore offline. They wont put the site up back live until they receive confirmation that our customers received their merchandise and that we are not a scam. In the mean time you can head over to www.vinylcollective.com and get all the records in our catalog from our good friends over there. I apologize to anyone who tried to order anything but we should have it up and running soon. These internet folks are just a little hard to deal with……..nerds.

PS- Keep yours eyes open for awesome Holiday specials when we get the webstore back up. TEST PRESSES, OUT OF PRINT COLORS, ALL KINDS OF CRAZY FUCKING SHIT !

pps.- people that run the internet blow.

The Webstore Works

Good Friends Records — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 22:49:38 +0000

Hey everyone,

Sincere apologies to anyone who has tried to order anything in the last couple months. The company that is hosting our webstore wouldn’t approve what we had up there so it took a while to get it up and live. But it is now so fear no more. Go check it out! we should be getting the Fake Problems EVEL KNIEVEL picture disc in this week and will start taking pre orders tuesday 11-18-08 with a release and shipping date the following tuesday the 25th. the record looks and sounds amazing and they are gonna go super fast so be sure to get yours while you can. we only pressed 500. we are also putting up a pre order for our next release from former and current members of the River Boat Gamblers, Austin Tx’s Broken Gold. it finally went out this week and we should have it the first week in December. this release comes with a free digital download as well. yes, goodfriends is entering the future. life’s a garden dig it.

RIP Robert Craig “EVEL” Knievel
