The 13th annual GTG Fest will be coming to you SATURDAY OCTOBER 10, following you on your mobile devices, lurking in the corner of your home on your smart TV, somehow popping up on that confusingly not-discarded Windows 98 Gateway tower that hasn’t been connected to the internet since 2001… EVERYWHERE!

Did I make watching a livestream briefly sound a little exciting? Well, we’re gonna do our best to bring some of the magical GTG Fest chaos to the streams. This thing’ll be streaming live from 4-10 at the GTG facebook page AND on the GTGRecordsTV youtube channel for all you fellow facebook haters out there. The show must go on!

Pre-Order: the soods – Ornaments of Affection

Friday October 9 will see the release of the debut full-length from The Soods! It’s called Ornaments of Affection and you can check out a few of the songs above and pre-order the album here. It’s a space-rock dream of densely layered melodies, featuring contributions from all sorts of Michigan musicians but spearheaded by the immensely talented Jason Roy. This is the first of our delayed springtime releases to finally be hitting the streets and we’re so glad it’s becoming a real thing. Follow The Soods on the socials and stay tuned for more news!
