New record pressing – Elegant Weapons – Evolution.
This quartet of lifelong musicians — guitarist Richie Faulkner (Judas Priest), vocalist Ronnie Romero (Rainbow, MSG), bassist Dave Rimmer (Uriah Heep), and drummer Christopher Williams (Accept) — have rallied around a collective vision. Together they’ve forged a signature style built on unforgettable riffing, surgically precise solos, bold grooves, and skyscraping hooks.
Featuring “Evil Eyes,” “Generation Me,” and the lead single “Bridges Burn,” Evolution finds Elegant Weapons delivering their most dynamic and powerful work yet.

New record pressing – Josaleigh Pollett – If I Let It Quiet
Available courtesy of Audio Antihero and Lavender Vinyl.
Salt Lake City-based singer-songwriter Josaleigh Pollett (any/all pronouns) has announced their fourth full-length album, ‘If I Let It Quiet.’ Produced by long-time collaborator Jordan Watko (Crowd Shy), the record will be released July 24th via Audio Antihero (Frog / Tiberius / Avery Friedman / CIAO MALZ) and Lavender Vinyl on digital and vinyl. It will be preceded by May 19th’s “The Witness” single.
The work of Pollett and Watko has received a slow burn of recognition over the years. Following Pollett’s warm and rootsy solo debut ‘Strangers,’ the duo initially found acclaim together in 2020 with their ‘No Woman Is the Sea’ album. They reached a broader audience with 2023’s electronics-infused ‘In the Garden, By the Weeds,’ thanks to support from notable outlets, including NPR Music’s All Songs Considered, as well as awards and end-of-year lists.

New record pressing – Eddie 9V – Little Black Flies on Orange Vinyl!
All his life, Eddie 9-volt has acted on instinct. Aged just 15, this old-soul artist turned away from the path of college and jobs to burst all guns blazing onto the blues club circuit of his native Atlanta, Georgia. Flash forward to 2019, and for his debut album, Left My Soul In Memphis, the prodigious multi-instrumentalist simply powered up the amps in his mobile trailer and with his brother/co-writer/producer, Lane Kelly, laid down one of the year’s breakout releases, acclaimed as “fresh and life-affirming” by Rock & Blues Muse. “Memphis was a total side project,” shrugs Eddie, “that ended up taking off.”Now, released in 2021 on Ruf Records, Little Black Flies is the 24-year-old’s most impulsive move to date. Tracked live in Atlanta’s Echo Deco Studios through November 2020, once again with Lane turning the knobs, plus a who’s who of the state’s best musicians (including guitar icon Cody Matlock), it’s an album that Eddie planned to feel like it’s unfolding right in front of you – right down to the clink of bottles and loose studio banter.

New record pressing – Blue Ash – Dinner at Mr. Billy’s.
During 1971 and 1972, the classic Blue Ash line-up of David Evans, Jim Kendzor, Bill “Cupid” Bartolin and Frank Secich played more than quite a bit in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It seemed like we were playing “The Burgh” 4-5 nights a week. At the time, we had two booking agencies in Pittsburgh, Go Attractions (Rich Engler and Paul St. John) and Fly By Night Productions owned by Joe Riccelli. One time back then we were driving on Rt. 51 south of Pittsburgh to a gig in Clarion. Cupid looked out the window of the car and saw a big sign for a restaurant called “Mr Billy’s”. He said to all of us as he pointed to the sign, “If we ever get to make an album, we should call it “Dinner At Mr. Billy’s”. We all laughed. I thought it was a hilarious idea. Cupid and I even wrote a song right after that called “Dinner At Mr. Billy’s”, then we promptly forgot about the whole idea. While going through the vaults recently at Peppermint Productions, we found the tape of the song “Dinner At Mr. Billy’s” and in honor of Cupid, Mr. Billy has now finally made it out of oblivion and on to an album.
