Toronto power-pop punk trio Talk Show Host will release 'Mid-Century Modern,' its debut full-length, on June via Wiretap Records & Disconnect Disconnect Records.

The lead single "Blood In The Sand" is now streaming everywhere, along with a new music video.

Lead singer & guitar player Chris Veinot says, "The video has nothing to do with the song and everything to do with the fact that we are still under lockdown and all we have footage of is cats. Sincere apologies to all the dog persons.

The Lillingtons and Enemy You have a history that goes back a quarter of a century. You won’t find that in today’s punk scene where there’s so much competition and grubbing for clout on social media, but these bands are binary stars from a bygone era. The two respective singers started out as pen pals (yes, using actual letters and stamps!) and went on to be songwriting contemporaries and labelmates on Lookout and Red Scare. In the world of melodic punk, The Lillingtons and Enemy You are the gold standard.

The sound is recognizable in the first few seconds. The rumbling bass lines, the thundering drums, breakneck guitar riffs that explode out of the speakers and that voice, a searing howl equal parts snarl and desperation. This is The Offspring, kids, singer Dexter Holland, guitarist Noodles, drummer Pete Parada and new bassist Todd Morse. SoCal legends ready to plant their punk rock flag in the sand once again with their blistering new album Let the Bad Times Roll.

Track listing:

Houston, we have lift-off! We are thrilled to transmit that Bad Astronaut’s box set is available for pre-order today. Strap yourselves in, because this box set represents the first time 2002’s Houston: We Have A Drinking Problem and 2006’s Twelve Small Steps, One Giant Disappointment will be on vinyl. Plus, we’ve repressed 2001’s Acrophobe, which hasn’t been on wax since 2010.

Cold Moon, the Northern California-based quartet of long-time friends including members of The Story So Far and Set Your Goals, have shared their single “Simpleton”. Complete with groovy guitar licks and a laid-back drum beat, the new single is the perfect soundtrack for the sunny spring days ahead.

Radio Days are a powerpop trio hailing from Milan, Italy who have been on the scene since 2008, playing in their current line up since 2015. They are an ideal mix of Beatlesque melodies of the 60s and 70s punk energy; combining the sounds of early Elvis Costello, the Rubinoos' vocal harmonies, Big Stars' scratching determination and the Knacks' easy listening melodies.

Members of Milwaukee bands like Sex Scenes, NO/NO, Surgeons in Heat, Saebra & Carlyle, and King Eye & the Squirts formed Rexxx over beers and a late 70’s-early 80’s power pop soundtrack. Their debut album was released digitally last year to local acclaim, but Covid put their tour plans on halt, so the rest of the nation really didn't get to experience the band in all their glory.

Thankfully Big Neck Records has stepped in to give "Pure Pleasure II" the vinyl treatment on May 7th.

The 33rd Guided By Voices album, Earth Man Blues, is a magical cinematic rock album, full of dramatic and surreal twists and turns. Lyrics and liner notes trace the growth of young Harold Admore Harold through a coming of age and a reckoning with darkness. Vivid scenes appear: snapshots of youth, fantastical nightmares, unknown worlds.
