lol you know what's crazy? We've released not one, but TWO Christmas compilations. Why? I dunno. Seemed like a good idea 10 years ago. People REALLY love that Best Witches track. Have fun.

Oh hey. It's been a while. What's up? So we've been on a bit of a pause for a while and we missed our 10 year anniversary in September of 2019. I guess we also missed our 11th anniversary last month too. Oh well.

Anyway, while we haven't put out anything physically in a while, Messy Life is still cranking out some new tunes. Specifically by our co-founder Corey Salts under the moniker WANDER. Wander released the EP "First Love" in April of 2020 and just dropped the brand new EP "Adams Street" on October 9th. Available now on Bandcamp, Spotify, and all those other places

Thanks to everyone who bought stuff from us to help raise money for NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. We raised $43.29 in sales, but decided to round up to $50. Maybe it's not a lot, but we believe every little bit helps. Ya'll rule.

Reminder, we're still donating the money from everything bought from our web store to NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio through tonight. We'll be donating every cent we've made over the last two weeks (shipping and all) on June 1st. If there's anything you want, might as well get it now.
(side note: less than 10 copies of Blithe Field - Two Hearted remain)

Welcome to Messy Life Records!

Hello friends. We've been fairly inactive for a while, but we've been trying to think of a way to both free up some room and also do something positive. As you may be aware, several states (including our home state of Ohio), have introduced bills that would effectively strip away reproductive rights and access to abortion. We at Messy Life do not believe in laws governing the bodies of anyone, let alone those who are pregnant and vulnerable.

So, we'd like to help out in the small way that we can. Starting immediately, we will be donating 100% of the money we make through our webstore to NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. They are committed to develop and sustain a constituency that uses the political process to guarantee every woman the right to make personal decisions regarding a full range of reproductive choices, including preventing unintended pregnancy, bearing healthy children, and choosing legal abortion.

Every cent we make though June 1st will be donated to NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. Help us clean out my garage while also supporting this great organization. Links to both our webstore and NARAL's website will be in the comments. If you don't need any of our junk lying around your house, please feel free to donate to them anyway.

Okay, listen. We appreciate when anybody wants to pay for music we’ve released. But it’s APRIL. It’s pay what you want, and you’re dropping two bucks for a Christmas song in April? Bless your beautiful heart.

Hey friends, here's the deal. Messy Life HQ got hit with a pretty terrible flood. All the records are safe (save for some damaged Daddy's Gonna Kill Ralphie LPs). However, a lot of personal belongings, musical equipment, and sentimental items were destroyed. SO in the effort to raise a bit of money and clear out some extra space EVERYTHING IN OUR WEBSTORE IS 50% OFF UNTIL JULY 1ST. Yup. Half off everything. Just enter the code "FLOOD" at checkout.

Daaaang it's December already? Well, due to us being broke and busy, we didn't release any records this year. However, in the past we've released not one but TWO free Christmas comps. They're still available to download and still free. Fill your black heart with the Christmas spirit. https://messyliferecords.bandcamp.com/album/messy-for-christmas
