07/20/10: Mochipet-Cowgirls Gets The Pets OUT NOW!!!
The Mochipet EP "Cowgirls Gets The Pets" is out now! You can download this digital EP on iTunes, emusic and various other download sites, the best place to get it is on
Bandcamp because it is the cheapest and provides the highest quality files..
07/01/10: Zombie Shuffle remix competitionWe are hosting a remix competition for Gonken's song Zombie Shuffle. You can download the remix kit here:
http://automationrecords.com/downloads/zombieshuffleremixkit.zip
The winner will get their track released on the Zombie Shuffle single and maybe some other kind of prize.
06/28/10: Message Board
I have been considering making a message board for a while now but I thought it would be sort of sad & pathetic if nobody used it or if people didnt sign up for it, but I decided I would give it a shot. The point of the message board isnt to just talk about this record label, the point is for people who like this record label to comunicate with other humans who like this record label, so I guess its sort of like a social network. The reason I think it will be better than Facebook or Myspace is because the communication wont just be one-way, I think that it will be better two-way communication which will be more personal. If you want to join/perticipate on the messaage board
click here
also: 2 tracks from the forthcoming Mochipet EP are on the label's
soundcloud page!
05/08/10: quick announcement of things on the horizon
We have a few releases on the horizon, I dont want to say too much at this
point because things have a way of changing but there are two EPs in the
final stages of completion that should be out soon enough:
Cex-Manumit Me
and
Mochipet- Cowgirls Gets The Pets
More on those later as well as some other news...
01/30/10: New Page!
So you may have noticed the new webpage, the original site was always ment
to be temporary and it lasted about 7 years (talk about procrastination).
This new site has the same content as the old site but now that we got
the new layout done we can focus on more of that stuff. The store and download
sections really need some work and those will probably be the next things
updated. I am also not sure if this color scheme is going to stay, but
that is easy enough to change. If you want to give any feedback on the
new site feel free to contact info@automationrecords.com
12/30/09: Uglyhead-Inward & Outward back in stock
Got a few more copies of the Inward and Outward EPs from Jake and they
are availible in the mail order once again, there are just a few of them
so if you want one get it now.
There are 2 NYE shows happening:
Cex @ Sonar in Baltimore MD
and
Dave Madden aka nonnon is playing at an art opening in Salt Lake City,
UT
Have a good new year, we have a lot of stuff planned for 2010, hope to
see you then.
12/15/09: Uglyhead-Inward/Outward availible digitally
A while back we released two EPs titled "Inward" and "Outward"
for an Uglyhead tour, after the tour the band gave us half of the unsold
copies to sell online and those have all sold out so we decided to combine
the tracks and make them availible as an album digitally. The album is
currently availible on
iTunes and
Bandcamp. The
Bandcamp version is availible as a pay-what-you-want download so if you are poor check that one out. The album will also be availible on Amazon, Emusic and other download sites in the near future.
Jake from Uglyhead is sending me the last few physical copies of the tour
EPs that he has, those will be availible on the web site again in the very
near future.
10/23/09: Red Squirrels fundraiser
Jason from Red Squirrels recently received a vet bill for $1200 that he can not afford to pay. To help raise money he has uploaded every previously released Red Squirrels album and compilation appearance as well as 3 new releases to this site:
http://redsquirrels.bandcamp.com/
Everything is available as a “pay what you want” download and 100% of the proceeds go towards paying his vet bill. If you want to download all the stuff for free that’s cool too, just enter $0 when it asks for the dollar amount. Any amount would be greatly appreciated and if you enjoy the songs, passing the site information along would also be helpful. Thank you for listening.
