The new Weed Hounds 7″ is currently featured on one of our favorite blogs: I Could Die Tomorrow. It’s a smart and well-written entry so check it out. There’s some high praise in there too that the band well deserves.

Now that the vinyl is in our hands I can finally post a photo of it and give color pressing info.
Here’s the breakdown:
Purple – 280
Magenta – 12
Blue – 9
For Vinyl Collectors: People who have already placed orders from IRP will receive the rarest colors based on when you ordered, eventually proceeding up to the least rarest.
