The Cassettes just finished an animated music video for their song Rogue Gnome, which you can find on their critically acclaimed album ‘Neath The Pale Moon! If you haven’t checked out that bad boy yet, we highly recommend you do so now by clicking HERE. Either way, check out this video… it was brought to life by Stephen Guidry and illustrated by Shelby Cinca, both dudes are in The Cassettes.

A few years ago we had a charming young Jewish boy named Matzah who somehow, unbeknownst to us, slithered into our lives and proclaimed himself as our intern here at Buddyhead. We went with it cuz we’re easy going like that and immediately put the chap to work. He did a wide variety of things that ranged from watching us day-drink beers to listening to us talk about how cool we are to running the Buddyhead contest page. Well, like all children… our intern grew up, spread his wings, flew from the nest, got married, had kids of his own and started up his own record label called I Hate Rock N’ Roll. Ok, he didn’t get married and have kids…

Hey Matzah, we’re proud of you man! And you really couldn’t have picked a better time to start a label, what with record sales so high and the stable future of the music industry! Ha, have fun with that one bro!

Anyways, here’s the skinny you really wanna read….

I Hate Rock N’ Roll’s first release is a lovely 12 inch record split between Moccasin (who we just signed to Buddyhead about a month ago) and Darker My Love (one of our favorite LA bands to bogart mushrooms from). Looks like at least some of our impeccable taste rubbed off on homeboy! This hot potato is limited to 1,000 hand numbered LPs with custom labels that features two Moccasin songs (one being exclusive), one exclusive eight minute Darker My Love song, and artwork designed by Tim Presley (who also happens to play guitar and sing in Darker My Love). Can you say “HIGHLY COLLECTABLE”?
