LPR-075 Purple 7
($12)

The Purple 7 is a band that features Will from DEFIANCE, OH/LANDLORD, Chris Mott from LANDLORD, and Patrick Jennings from the HOT NEW MEXICANS. Conceived in Chris’s attic and Will’s basement at MAGNETIC SOUTH on several experimental 4 track sessions while on leave from Landlord, the band has taken on new dimensions since Patrick arrived in town and set up shop in a suburban style studio on the south side of Bloomington. They were destined, it seems, to be in a band together. (300 one-sided, Purple, black swirl records pressed w/ eching on the b-side)

LPR-059 LANDLORD "No Matter Where You Live"
(Split Release with Halfday)
($10)

Committing Landlord's first release to vinyl will hopefully further reveal the truth about them, which is that they have yet to write a bad song. Their releases have varied in recording quality, but their exploitation of traditional pop-song structures has always worked to their advantage. If you love any song by this band, you're gonna love them all, and when they hit a home run, as they do often, it's as sweet as any pop song you've heard. This record sounds the rawest, but the melodies sail clear over it all, making for the perfect mix of punk rock blaring out of the basement and a B-side from The Kinks or something. If anything, this record makes the point that if a song is written well, it doesn't need to sound perfect. If it's played a little rough around the edges, that's fine, there's another one on the way.( 300 black records pressed. w/ handmade painted, stenciled, and screen printed covers. these records are beautiful.)

LPR-054 Vacation "S/T"

The Socrates of the now-punks? Only time-and the beard growth-will tell.

Four D.I.Y. bands doing covers of the great rock and roll legends Dead Moon! (200 pressed on black vinyl)

LPR-082 Autonomy "Altar of Apathy"

This is the 3rd release, but first 7", by Autonomy. Following the tradition of the band, this recording has a different lineup from the previous one. Autonomy continues to play their post-punk/anarcho-punk inspired songs, this time with a more melody and the addition of a female vocalist. It's a good representation of not only what they've been sounding like, but where they're heading as well. Two short, dark, melodic songs about the lies were told and the lies we tell ourselves. (200 records pressed on smokey vinyl)

LPR-077 Direct Hit / Braver split (split release w/ Lost Cat) PREORDER

Two bands ripping threw two songs each of super catchy mid-west pop punk. Str8 up killing it! (300 pressed on clear vinyl w/ beautiful fold out covers!)

LPR-071 Rad Payoff "Amazing Blaze"

Four songs from Chicago's four piece punk rock jam band. Blaring feedback, catchy lyrics, and explosive bong rips!. W/ members of Sass Dragons, Bust, Lip Reader, and Treasure Fleet. (300 records pressed on black vinyl. Art by Evan Wolf.)

LPR-066 PARLOR "Life Stays Great"
(Split release w/ HOUSE PLANT)

It's been tough to describe this band, which speaks highly for any group. This three-piece unit from Carbondale, IL play super-tight punk rock, but to say that already puts them in a corner from which they quickly move beyond. They are defined by slinky yet powerful riffs, precise drumming, the ability to play any time signature without sounding overly-technical or "mathy." Terrific hooks are born from all three members often singing together and harmonizing well, but it's hardly pop music. Sometimes I think "Man or Astroman" but it defies the surf genre too. Witness for yourself! (330 pressed on black wax!)

LPR-063 Wild Assumptions "Wandering Sailor"

Combining moody, dreamy guitar pop with a driving rhythm section and powerful lady vocals, Wild Assumptions effortlessly plies the usually-separate territories of both first-wave Slumberland Records acts like Tiger Trap and kinetic, loud punk/pop masters such as The Muffs and Superchunk. (300 pressed on a mixed sea of green wax!)

LPR-062 SHANG-A-LANG "Waiting for the End"

I suppose somewhat appropriately Shang-A-Lang's last record of new material, titled"Waiting for the End" will be released on the first week of what many consider the last year of human existance. Shang-A-Lang has been an incredibly prolific band over the past few years, having done countless splits (really, I can't count them), several 7 inches, an LP/CD, and a Collections LP. The release is between 7 labels that have helped the band out in various ways over the past several years: Dirt Cult, Fast Crowd, Silver Sprocket, Dead Broke, Let's Pretend, No Breaks, and Drunken Sailor (UK). Each label will have 118 copies. These five songs are probably the best SAL material to date, which makes the break-up even more bittersweet.

LPR-058 PETER STUBB / NOCTURNAL FEEDING split

Two guys. Nine songs. Seven inches. Countless personal problems. (200 pressed on black wax!)

LPR-046 Vacation "Dream Dad"
(Split Release with Sidejar Records)

You can throw three dudes in front of a camera and make them smile for a band picture, but true chemistry is completely impossible to fake, and it's something that positively bleeds from each track on Vacation's new 7" Dream Dad. Two songs from their debut Do Shit Tape are reprised here, but are played with the familiarity and vigor of old standards, elevating them to downright anthem status. Meanwhile, the new songs here act as round two in Vacation's seemingly endless game of "how many unruly, earworm-worthy hooks can we jam into one song?". It's punk that flirts with the borders of noise rock and lo-fi grit, Danzig-era Misfits on a steady diet of helium and pixie sticks, but most importantly, it's the vital kind of music that doesn't just constantly press the pleasure button; it's dropped a 50-pound weight on it.(580 pressed, 100 on clear Orange wax and 480 on black)

LPR-045 Brickfight/Liarbirds split 7"

Watch out! Pop punk cosmic taco split! Minneapolis's melodic trio, Liarbirds, bust out some sing-songy shit about Minnesota snow routes, neurotic infatuation, and smokin' weed from our very own planet. Chicago 4-piece, Brickfight, bring you the sweetest drunken lullabies that prove punk rockers have the biggest fuckin' hearts. Taco/bong-Chicago-rooftop-party core art by Ben Snakepit. (400 records pressed on black vinyl)

LPR-039 Trainwreck Riders/Pine Hill Haints split 7''

West Coast Buzzards meet Tennessee Ghost Country Ramblers somewhere between the 1990’s and 1890’s. These two groups of friends trade songs that are in some ways very different sounding and in other ways perfectly complimentary. The Trainwreck Riders out of San Francisco offer two songs layered with heavy guitar and heartbreaking lyrics. Mixed with an addictive pace, you can’t help bob your head to it the next time they roll into town. Pine Hill Haints deliver a much more trimmed down approach. Choosing to highlight one string bass and accordion with fiddle, banjo, guitar and snare drum too, the Haints push the songs dark southern themes through their blend of old traditional string music and creepy punk rock roots. Both sides hold a perfect balance between having a good recording and still staying true to their rollicking live shows.(110 on clear wax and 440 on black wax)

LPR - 032 Nighty Night "Belle"

Five small-town ramblers from deep in the woods of Carbondale unleash a set of toe-taps that exist somewhere between the AM and FM of whiskey hits. Nighty Night has stumbled upon the fist-pumps within swaying folk lullabies, leaving you with 3 dreamy, reverb-covered fairy tales. (500 Pressed/400 on Black/100 on White. 32 Test Press Editions w/ Different Cover)

LPR - 028 It Burns
(Split Label with Beercan Records)

This record will have you pissing in your pants and send you crying home to mommy. Fast, heavy, kinda hard-core, kinda rock n roll, and some ripping guitar solos that will make you remember why satan is so fucking cool. Songs about shitty landlords, bike rides, pizza parties, getting the fuck out of there town (carbondale, IL) and only doing things that are fun. very solid punk rock record! (400 records were pressed on black wax!)

LPR - 026 Sass Dragons/The Brokedowns Split
(Split Label with Cassette Deck)

Three fucking marvelous songs by both bands. One cover song by both bands. brokedowns cover ''full on idle'' by the breeders and sass dragons cover ''andre young'' by jimmyassmunch's former band, "the puppies"! they were punk fucking legends and do not forget it! Millions of brain cells were killed in the making of this record. this record will have its spot in punk rock history. Chicago is very lucky to have these two bands. (600 records pressed on black wax!)(2nd pressing. 400 pressed on candy apple red wax, new altered full-color covers, and new insert designed by Dan Powers)

LPR - 018 Shang-a-Lang "Summertime" 7''
Split label with Dirt Cult Records

4-songs of gritty DIY pop punk from Las Cruces! Songs about seasonal depression, saying whatever you feel like saying, giving up on relationships, and questioning why the fuck you even try sometimes. But it's got a catchy beat and you can dance to it! 1st pressing 300 on black wax! 2nd 200 or so on white wax! 3rd and final pressing 300 on black!

LPR - 017 Conniption Fitts "Shart Sandwich"

In 2013, after years in the midwestern freak scene pushing ear splitting cassettes, the rest of the Earth will discover Thee Open Sex.

LPR-072 Humans "Ryan is Dead"

Humans are a three piece punk/thrash/math band from Bloomington, Indiana. They manage to pack in a whole array of sounds in their short songs that all tend to start, stop and shift instantly.

Kicking Spit's PsychRockBullshit bleands the slacker stylings of 90's college rock with the hardcore inklings of Husker Du and the Descendents.

LPR - 040 Prizzy Prizzy Please "Chroma Cannon"
(Split label with Joyful Noise Records

In an overzealous effort to make the best of unemployment, Prizzy Prizzy Please have gone plaid with Chroma Cannon. With a 30th century aesthetic, the album rockets through hyperactive hits that blend melodic noise punk (reminiscent of Parts and Labor, Lightning Bolt) with the spirit of fourth-quarter pump-up jams by Van Halen and the E Street Band. Though Chroma Cannon prominently displays Prizzy Prizzy Please’s technical prowess, the songs are thematically fixated on science fantasy and humor. The song “Pacific Garbage Patch” is a fictional first-person tale of a shopping bag surfing the waves to join the rest of his buddies in the Pacific Trash Vortex(1); and “Large Hadron Collider” is the story of ambitious Swiss(2) physicists who have an epiphanic encounter with a man from the future who warns them not to flush the Earth into a black hole. (200 tapes pressed.)

LPR - 030 Nocturnal Feeding "Some Terrestrial Device"

Teenage sexscapes and psychodramas in the dusty haze of cheap highs. Las Vegas is a dark place especially when channeled from Bloomington, Indiana through the dirty mouth of the desperately self-medicated. This dude'd rather be in a tranced-out sludge metal band called "Deformed Birth", but, admittedly, does not have the chops for it. This is acoustic in a way that makes everything seem unpromising and gives you the feeling that something real bad's about to happen. 100 copies, or so, or whatever.

LPR - 022 Crow's Feet "Concertina"

Crowsfeet is the solo expedition of Tommy from Shang-A-Lang. His concept for the cassette "Concertina" was to add depth and space to acoustic songs without burying them. With straight forward lyrics and angsty undertones stemming from punk roots, "Concertina", is in most ways an experimental tape, measuring where the line is, if any, that bounds singer-songwriters to genre.
