Customer Highlight — Get Up Kids

This is the first brand new album in over 7 years from The Get Up Kids!  The band used a completely analog process to record the album, so this 180 gram vinyl pressing gives the listener the music in its truest and intended form.  The band self-released the record on its own label, Quality Hill Records.

Available on LP (including digital download code) at indie record stores nationally on 01/25/11. You can also pre-order a deluxe package featuring the LP and download, plus a silk screened poster, limited edition t-shirt and tote bag, and 5 signed photo cards!

Customer Highlight — Gang Of Four

Gang of Four‘s Content is the first album of all-new material in over 15 years, featuring 11 new songs written by Andy Gill & Jon King.

Andy & Jon say:
“We have been working on new songs for some time. Here they are, on our new album titled C O N T E N T. The tracks are simple: vocals, guitar, bass, drums. It is a tough, loud sound. A number of the tracks have dual vocals where we swap the lead to tell different parts of a story. We write about daily life but where the point of view is often contradictory or conflicted. Sometimes it’s a drama or dialogue, sometimes it’s an imagined situation with contradictory voices or commentary (like “He’d Send In The Army” or, on the new album, ” Do As I Say”) where there’s a quasi conversation between a religious inquisitor and someone burning at the stake, where they both agree they’re two sides of the same coin. What we strive for in all of our songs, is to interpret the world in a way you haven’t seen nor thought of before. We feel you’ll hear this in C O N T E N T.”

You will be able to grab a copy on thick GGR-pressed 180 gram wax at indie retailers in the U.S. on 01/25/11 (01/24 in the UK)….or you can pre-order before and get instant access to three non-album tracks!

Customer Highlight — Philistines Jr

If A Band Plays In The Woods is the first record in 9 years by the seminal indie rock band The Philistines Jr.  It features performances by Peter Katis of The National, Interpol, Swell Season, Jonsi, Frightened Rabbit & We Were Promised Jetpacks fame.

We were honored to have been picked to press an extremely limited edition pressing of this record.  Coming very soon to select indie retail outlets (also available from the artist).

Customer Highlight — Miles Away

Now available from Six Feet Under Records — The culmination of eight years of hard work, heartache and good times, Endless Roads by Miles Away is the sound of a passionate, road-hardened band at the height of their powers.

Customer Highlight — Carpenter

Formed in 2005 from the ashes of some of Vancouver’s biggest post-punk bands (All State Champion/By A Thread/Daggermouth), Carpenter‘s rock n roll assault sprung from singer Daniel Sioui’s obsession with the 1982 John Cougar classic “American Fool”.

Now available from Paper & PlastickSea To Sky is available on limited edition peach (and two other mystery colors) vinyl.  Grab one today!

Customer Highlight — Fake Babies

Thanks to Safety Meeting Records for another great project – the Fake Babies LP shipped this week, and while the official record release show isn’t until January 29th, if you hit up Safety Meeting, they just might ship your pre-order early!

Lots of press is available on this record if you don’t know much about the band….including a wild comparison to Devo and Can….  Be sure to grab a copy before the limited first pressing run (hand numbered and CD included) disappears!

Customer Highlight — Art Fraud Records

Thank you Art Fraud Records for sending us two new 7″ projects — Confidence Men and Broken Neck.  You can purchase copies directly from Art Fraud here!

Broken Neck —  Paranoid 7″ — 6 song EP of rocking Pittsburgh hardcore.  Think of a cross between DEATH WISH KIDS and THE SUICIDE FILE.

Confidence MenFunnypapers 7″ — Debut single from this Pittsburgh band.  Dark sounding mid-tempo punk with nods to TSOL, RUDIMENTARY PENI, and POISON IDEA.

Customer Highlight — 50 Lions

Six Feet Under (SFU) Records is releasing Time Is The Enemy on vinyl — this is the first time the album has ever been available on vinyl in the U.S.!  This is 50 Lions‘ first album, with a heavy No Warning, Guns Up vibe to it, much rawer than their second album Where Life Expires (also available from SFU Records).

You can pre-order a copy now — available on two limited edition colors of wax!

Customer Highlight — Zo!

Thanks to Fat Beats for enlisting GGR to press Zo!‘s newest double-LP, SunStorm.
