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.
Whenever a new Citizen album comes out, you never really know what you are going to get.
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.
We are happy to premiere the lyric video for the Insomniacs song 'Expectations'.
The band had this to share about the song:
Ship Thieves recently released 'Irruption' via The Bouncing Souls' Chunksaah Records.
The Bronx, the Los Angeles’ “rabid, feisty… and unrelenting” (Consequence of Sound) rock band whose sequential discography has seen the group through a nearly two-decade career, release the Joe Baressi-produced album Bronx VI on Aug. 27 via Cooking Vinyl.
We are very excited to share the new video by Swedish band Ditches for the song 'Rosy Cheeks'.
