You guys just released this EP with Mascot Records.

Metal Blade, I mean, p- p- the biggest underground metal label, you know, the first one abs- actually, you know, ever.

And then of course, even Mascot, which is, I mean, these days, that's a really good n- label to be on.

I mean, like, there's not a lot of labels out there.

For them to come to you guys and, and say, "Hey, we wanna put out a Galactic Cowboys record," is great.
