Greenbeard Sign to Sailor Records; Stoned at the Throne Vinyl Announced
I’m not sure if Greenbeard‘s Stoned at the Throne vinyl is out now or impending. Below, Sailor Records — the Colorado-based label that just picked up the Texas-based band — says that Oct. 30 marked the preorder date. The band says they’ll play a release show in January, and if you order it on Bandcamp, it says it ships in two weeks, so your guess is as good as mine. Either way, cool for the band getting picked up for an LP pressing. Initially released over the summer, that record was catchy as hell and they seem to be willing to get out and support it, so all the better.
The PR wire had this to say on the subject:
Austin desert rockers Greenbeard sign with Denver’s Sailor Records and release “Stoned at the Throne” on vinyl!
Denver based record label, Sailor Records has added Greenbeard to their quickly expanding roster.
Greenbeard is a desert rock trio from Austin, TX created in the spring of 2014. Greenbeard’s sound is a sonic conjuring of early British heavy metal, psychedelia, desert guitar riffs, & stoner rock. In one year, the band has seen major tours, supported big bands like Dead Meadow,Pentagram, Red Fang, The Shrine, and Spirit Caravan. Greenbeard has also been official artists at Austin’s 2015 SXSW, Denver’s 2015 UMS, and played in 2015 Denver Psychfest; Synesthesia.
Sailor Records is a fresh up and coming label operating out of Denver, Colorado. Label owner, Oscar Ross, has spent decades working in Denver’s premier studios, with top notch talent. With catalogs upon catalogs of excellent studio sessions helmed by Ross himself, the birth of Sailor Records only seemed like the next logical move. Sailor Records is also homebase for bands like Plastic Daggers, Chingaso, Lords of Fuzz, Dreadnought, Native Daughters, and many more!
“Stoned at the Throne” is Greenbeard’s debut full length release. This 8 track record is packed full of blistering drum grooves, blasting riffs, heavy bass lines, and sexy vocals. This record was recorded in Austin, TX at OHM Recording Facility and engineered by the talented Chico Jones. Chico Jones’ vanguard of records includes “Samsara’ by The Well, Tia Carrera, White Denim, and many more. Adam Hamilton (Brian Jonestown Massacre/Counting Crows) mixed the record, and Paul Tavenner(Cleopatra Records/Big City Recording Studios) laid the finishing touches down with his mastering. Artwork for SATT was conceptualized by Greenbeard, and illustrated by French rock & roll poster and album cover artist, Headbang Design. Headbang Design’s portfolio includes artwork for Orange Goblin, Freak Valley Festival, and much more. Stoned at the Throne is produced by Alfonso Gonzalez.
Sailor Records will be opening presale for “Stoned at the Throne” on Friday, October 30. This release will include 150 copies on black 180g vinyl, and 100 special edition 180g blood red colored vinyl. Copies will be available for sale on Greenbeard’s bandcamp site. Greenbeard plans on having a vinyl release party in Austin, TX in early January, followed by a spring tour.
