APACHE DROPOUT

APACHE DROPOUT
"S/T" Cassette

The band's own description of themselves as "lysergic garage boogie mayhem" is embedded into my mind so much that I won't try to redefine them, and it's accurate anyway. This is their debut full-length, also available on LP, recorded and released by the Bloomington studio/label Magnetic South. This is an awesome debut by a hardworking band that we're proud to have locally, that will hopefully catch on worldwide soon.

Split 7"

Four way split representing Illinois, Florida, and Japan with full color Heroes of Cereal artwork from Ben Snakepit. Any one of these bands are 7" worthy, definitely, so all 4 of them on the same 7"? A foolproof purchase. A split between two DIY record labels? Foolproof plan.

THE BROKEDOWNS / SASS DRAGONS

THE BROKEDOWNS / SASS DRAGONS
Split 7"

Brokedowns burn barns with the first track, get anthemic and Midwestern with the second, and cover The Breeders with the third - I can't complain! Sass Dragons hit a high mark with the catchy "Don't Swear To God..." - good pop beyond their loveable dick and fart jokes.

Holopaw - O Glory, O Wilderness LP

HOLOPAW
"Oh Glory, Oh Wilderness" LP
Obscurist Press

This is a real indie-rock epic of sorts that shames its contemporaries with its artful and graceful approach. We're biased though, having released its 7" counterpart, which was really a mere introduction to what lies within the full-length record. Members of Ugly Cassanova, FIYA, and many Gainesville mainstays collaborated to create this work. Finally available from us! Hear a track.

LANDLORD S/T 7

LANDLORD
S/T 7"
Dead Broke Records

This 4 song Landlord 7" captures the band's patented basement pop sound, recorded live at the Magnetic South basement studio in their hometown of Bloomington, IN. Some nice reverb helps trip this out, and any rawness just reveals the strength of the songs themselves. Side A bears multiple repeats!

OLD GROWTH S/T LP

OLD GROWTH
"S/T" LP
Bakery Outlet Records

The first of 3 full-lengths now by Old Growth, a very underrated melodic rock group with the tiniest of country influence to it. Members of 12 Hour Turn and Science of Yabra demonstrate excellent songwriting here and drive it home with catchy melodies, kinda like a grittier Gin Blossoms. Solid all the way through! Hear a track.

PARLOR

PARLOR
"S/T" Cassette
Let's Pretend Records

This is the full-length (avail. on cassette only) from the uniquely awesome Carbondale band PARLOR, from the same men that brought you Tweak Bird and Spokesmen. It's tightly frantic, energetic, and powerful, with all three members singing and minor- key harmonizing (think of the chorus of Descendent's "Statue of Liberty"). There is unmistakeable talent and originality here, don't sleep!

PINK RAZORS First Degree 7

PINK RAZORS
"First Degree" 7"

THE REACTION

THE REACTION
"We Have Nothing to Lose But Boredom" LP
Let's Pretend Records

"10 songs, 10 inches. Songs range from driving GARAGE PUNK to clatterous mayhem to free group improvisation to gentle ballads about hurricanes. Although diverse, WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT BOREDOM never loses it's flow. Featuring members of 50 MILLION and THE KIRBY GRIPS!"

Al SCORCH
"This Lonesome World" 7"

Druggy folk songs played lightning fast on the banjo, with a stomping rhythm section. An enjoyable intersection of folk and punk, believe it or not. Will from Landlord plays and sings backup.

Shang-A-Lang

SHANG-A-LANG
"Summertime" 7"
Let's Pretend Records

Songs seemingly pulled from the pop-punk ether, such that you can't imagine a world where they didn't already exist. Shang-A-Lang perform with feeling and sincerity and are top-notch among bands playing this type of music today. Full color art by Ben Snakepit.

SOLID PONY S/T LP

SOLID PONY
"Life's Gonna Eat Us" LP
Bakery Outlet Records

Take a trip back in time to the very first Bakery Outlet release. It will be a laid-back, mellow trip to the beach with a few beers, friends, and guitars with music to match. Think a sun-soaked Guided By Voices. A release worthy of starting a kick-ass record label. Hear a track.

SPOKESMEN

SPOKESMEN
"S/T" CDep
Let's Pretend Records

It would be difficult to not recommend this for fans of Hot Snakes since the influence is strong, but the band ventures elsewhere too, always with great success. This is the 7-song debut from this well-kept secret of Carbondale, IL, who share members with the band Parlor. This is now out-of-print and there were only 300 copies made. Don't pass on this, srsly. Hear some tracks.

Universe

UNIVERSE
"Passenger" CD

Members of Soophie Nun Squad, Tem Eyos Ki, and Good Luck bring you a quality debut that brings to mind mid-90's Ebullition Records hardcore and fantasy metal at the same time. Hear some tracks.

VACATION

VACATION
"Dream Dad" 7"
Let's Pretend Records

This comes off like well-done Whoah-Oh pop-punk, but there's some atypical guitar playing for the genre that brings more of a 90s alt rock feel. The whole thing is sped up and played with punk energy and grit. Highly enjoyable songs from a hard-working young band.
