A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to celeb A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to celebrate our final CSO x P&P Game Night at the Pint & Pawn @pintandpawn this past Sunday night, making it the highest attended one yet!! We played the seasonally appropriate title Edgar Allan Poe's MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH, which was provided by our good friends Inge & Ian from Briar & Bone @briarbone. They also brought Poe temporary tattoos, with which we all proceeded to cover our hands/knuckles/arms/chests/faces. 🤣🤣 It was a wonderful evening & a great way to bring this collab to a close. We would like to thank P&P owner Derek again for this opportunity. We'll miss this!!! DON'T FORGET: We're holding a record swap at the Pint & Pawn on Sunday, Nov. 10th, and the last day to pre-order CSO logo zipper hoodies is on Oct. 31st-- Halloween!!! 🖤🎃🖤 #colorsoundoblivion #edgarallanpoe #masqueofthereddeath #boardgame #boardgames #gamenight #thepintandpawn #biddeford #maine
After acquiring this vending machine from a friend After acquiring this vending machine from a friend earlier this year, we have finally started filling it with all sorts of goodies, from band badges/buttons and spooky rings to 45 adapters and macabre tchochtkes (if that isn't a band name, it should be: The Macabre Tchochtkes), and even some coveted coupons for discounts on your next CSO purchase!! We hope you have as much fun discovering its treasures as we had populating them. 🖤 #colorsoundoblivion #vendingmachine #blindbox #bandswag #macabretchotchkes #mainerecordstore #biddeford #maine #musick

Thank you all for your hoodie pre-orders so far! T Thank you all for your hoodie pre-orders so far! The order window will be closing out on Halloween, so don't delay. 🖤 On a sadder note, we were devastated by the recent announcement that our good friends over at The Pint & Pawn will be closing up shop before the end of the year. We will be forever grateful for their tireless support of CSO, and thankful for the collaborations that we managed to realize together over the course of this year. To that end, Sunday, October 27th will be the final CSO x P&P Game Night, and our CSO x P&P Record Swap will still be moving ahead as planned on Sunday, November 10th. Both of these events will be taking place at The Pint & Pawn, 28 Pearl St., Biddeford, ME 04005. Outside of our collabs, however, Derek can use all the support you can give as he embarks on his next adventure-- please frequent his establishment if you can over the next month and give him a proper send-off as a "thank you" for everything he's given our community. 🖤🖤🖤 #thepintandpawn #biddeford #maine
As you may know, October is our three-year anniver As you may know, October is our three-year anniversary of opening our brick & mortar store, and we are celebrating by collaborating once again with our good friends at @forestpassage to FINALLY do a run of black zipper hoodies with our iconic CSO logo!! Pre-orders are open as of now (link in bio) & will run through the end of the month, and then they'll ship out as soon as we get them in our hot little hands (if you're in Maine, you can pick them up at the shop instead & we'll refund your shipping, as there doesn't seem to be a way to set a local pickup option in BC). Thank you again for all your support-- we couldn't have gotten this far without you!! 🖤🖤🖤 #colorsoundoblivion #hoodies #bandmerch #forestpassageprinting #mainerecordstore #biddeford #maine #musick

HUGE THANKS to all who attended the Strange & Unus HUGE THANKS to all who attended the Strange & Unusual installment of ECLIPSE last night!!! Big props as well to special guest DJ @j_static13 for the awesome tunes! Everyone's outfits & costumes looked so great, and the decor made us so happy-- especially our giant inflatable sandworm, pictured here about to devour Inge from @briarbone!
