Now, by popular demand, and after years of pursuing the rights, Real Gone Music is thrilled to announce the release of the Donnas last studio album, Bitchin’, in an expanded, newly annotated, and newly remastered edition! This 2007 release was put out by The Donnas’ own Purple Feather label, and marks a return to the girls’ glam metal and punk roots after the classic rock leanings of Gold Medal…they’ve escaped the major label machine, and are ready to have a good time!
Singalong songs like “What Do I Have to Do” and “Don’t Wait Up for Me” have definitely entered The Donnas’ canon, and tunes like “Save Me” confirm that this band’s ability to set a hook in a chorus remains unabated. For this first-ever reissue, RGM rounded up an entire side of bonus tracks, including the two songs (“Randi” and a cover of “Safety Dance”) that were only available on the vinyl release, a track (“New Kid in School”) that was previously available only as a download, two outtakes (“We Own the Night” and “She’s Out of Control”) that showed up on the Greatest Hits Vol. 16 comp, and a track that only came out in Japan (“Can’t Keep It a Secret”). The whole thing’s been remastered for vinyl by Mike Milchner at Sonic Vision, and the gatefold-plus-insert once again includes fresh commentary by Brett Anderson aka Donna A. Bitchin’ comes in a double scoop of strawberry with black swirl vinyl…we’re here for the party!

New record pressing – Citric Dummies – Split With Turnstile LP.
Citric Dummies are everything that makes modern rock n’ roll wonderful. Their energy leaps out of the speakers, their tempos will furrow the brow of any fist-pumping speed purist, and their irreverence dances quite artistically on the line between provocative and antagonistic without ever being juvenile or cruel. Indeed, the Minneapolis power trio flex their jester’s privilege on their new album Split With Turnstile with a tongue that has bored entirely through cheek, and spits just a little bit of blood at you.
More than anything, Citric Dummies represent a natural progression from bands like Reagan Youth with snappy, fast, and extremely tight drum parts that work the hell out of the closed hi-hat and fall around the speeds of bands like Generacion Suicida, Dark Thoughts, or even The Ergs! Riff-wise, the band has a lot more in common with Barely Legal-era the Hives, Dwarves, and bits of early Arctic Monkeys, while vocalist/bassist “David Lunch” shouts, bellows, and wails throughout Split With Turnstile; a plain departure from what was described as “pretty much doing a Danzig impersonation,” on their 2023 release Zen and the Arcade of Beating Your Ass. Citric Dummies, however, exude a love of absurdity that none of these bands possess. Their pseudonyms for the other 66% of the band on this album are drummer D.V. Tinner and guitarist David Cronutberger.

Split With Turnstile by Citric Dummies is out on October 17th through Feel It Records.

New record pressing – Lindsey Buck – The Laundry & The Ecstacy
Lindsey Buck is a bad ass. We first met almost 9 years ago. Having just moved back to the States from France with my 1 yr old baby and a burgeoning record label, I took a job teaching piano at a music school on the South Shore. I remember Lindsey wrote on her intake form, “I don’t want piano lessons like the ones I had when I was a kid!” and I thought something like: “Well, that’s my specialty …”
I found out pretty quickly that Lindsey was returning to music to honor her mother who was terminally ill. Her mom had always dabbled on the piano and encouraged Lindsey to do the same, but it had never stuck.
Lindsey started writing music right away. It felt like every week she’d have two or three new songs. It was a torrent. And the songs were good. Like, really, really good. Emotionally direct, powerful, clear, melodic, and soulful as hell. And she could sing! Like, really, really, REALLY sing.
So I thought “let’s go make a demo” and next thing I knew she had a band together and was playing local radio and bars. So I said, well, maybe we should try and make an album … And that took seven years. (Parenting! Pandemic! Life!) But holy smokes am I proud to be a part of this record! Lindsey is the real deal. Generous, brilliant and totally unique. I have learned so much from her.

New record pressing — JEFF The Brotherhood featuring Blanc Du Blanc – Magick Songs In Dub.
Soul Selects Records presents an immersive four-song journey that reimagines JEFF The Brotherhood’s 2018 double-LP Magick Songs through the hypnotic lens of dub. Guided by spectral sound alchemist Blanc du Blanc, these live, unadulterated mixes plunge deep into echo and low-end ritual—where riffs dissolve into astral repeats, basslines breathe, and structure blurs into feel. Captured direct-to-stereo at Soul Selects Studio (Hopewell, NJ), the set reframes the band’s fearless, genre-melting spirit as a sound system séance.

New record pressing – Jonah Koslen – Unreleased Tracks From The Stage Pass Era.
Features three songs on Side 1 that were written by Jonah and rehearsed by MSB for their 3rd studio album, which had the working title of “Basement Band”. As we all know, MSB instead released their iconic double live album, Stage Pass, and Jonah would leave MSB in 1977 and form Breathless. These three songs on Side 1 were never released – until now! Side 2 contains six unreleased tracks from a live-in-studio Jonah Koslen 1978 “Coffee Break Concert” performance, including “Meantime Man”, a studio version of which appeared on the long out-of-print Jonah Koslen Back Tracks collection; “Coco” and “Let Myself Fall In Love” which were written in Jonah’s MSB era and would occasionally be performed by Jonah during his acoustic sets at MSB concerts, but never released until their appearance here! Side 2 also includes Jonah’s MSB classics “Waste A Little Time On Me”, “Ladies Choice” and “Nothing’s Gonna Change My Mind”. All copies are autographed by Johah Koslen!

New record pressing – St. Paul & The Broken Bones – Self Titled.
The sixth studio album. In rock-music mythos, the self-titled album is a line in the sand—typically signifying a reinvention, a reunion, or a return to roots. St. Paul and the Broken Bones, the sixth LP from Birmingham, Alabama’s ever-evolving Southern-soul giants, is somehow all of these things at once—carrying forward the experimental spirit of their back-to-back heavyweights The Alien Coast and (2022) Angels in Science Fiction (2023), but with a warmer, more accessible vibe that recalls the fun, exuberance, and buoyancy of their breakout debut, Half the City (2014), and beloved follow-ups Sea of Noise (2016) and Young Sick Camellia (2018). As singer and co-founder Paul Janeway puts it, these 10 songs represent a “reset and a refresh” after a frenetic few years.
“It’s the outcome of the book we wrote with the last records,” he says, surveying the band’s evolution into a period that touched on art-rock structures, stoner metal atmosphere, and rap beats. “[The self-titled album] is what the band is now. I think the band in general feels reignited…Making this record was a long journey, but I think it’s one of those rare times where it felt really worth it. It feels very much like a renewed energy. And who knows? We might make our death metal record next.”

New record pressing – King Princess – Girl Violence.
Girl Violence is the third album from New York artist King Princess (Mikaela Straus), marking her most personal and unapologetic work to date. Written after walking away from a long-term relationship, a major label deal, and a city that dulled her spark, the album captures the chaos, clarity, and catharsis of starting over.
Across bold pop anthems and intimate confessionals, Straus explores the nuanced, messy and magnetic dynamics of loving women. The result is a record that’s emotionally feral, sonically fearless, and deeply self-assured.
Since her breakout with “1950” – a Platinum-certified anthem with over a billion streams – King Princess has carved out a singular space in modern pop. On Girl Violence, she turns the page, taking full creative control and delivering her most striking and uncompromising vision yet.”
