Customer Highlight — Estrogen Highs

Emulating the same punk rock DIY attitude and sloppy lo-fi records that helped shaped their youth, New Haven’s the Estrogen Highs crank out catchy garage rock.  After a series of killer singles and full lengths on Telephone Explosion, Deadbeat, Never Heard of It and the tastily titled Milk n’ Herpes Records, Stefan, Mark, Wes, and Ross deliver their special dose of jangley controlled chaos to the Cycles EP for Safety Meeting. Taking nods from such bands as the Wipers, the Nuggets, and the Gories, they bring a “less is more” aesthetic to their song writing, hammering out infectious riffs with intense sloppy precision. Their music is honest, loud, and completely intoxicating, burrowing into the brain like a parasite.

This 300 copy  limited edition LP includes a copy of the CD and hand-screen printed jackets.  You can grab a copy from Safety Meeting Records, or at one of the band’s shows.

Customer Highlight — Take Offense

Take Offense, formed in 2005, is a band that hails from the Southwestern most region of the United States; Chula Vista, CA — a 5 minute travel from the Tijuana, Mexico border.  After a self-released cassette tape and EP entitled Peace In Death, as well as the Happiness Under Chains EP released on Double Or Nothing Records, Take Offense are soon to be releasing a full length album entitled Tables Will Turn on Reaper Records. The record will feature a total of 10 songs — 7 of which brand new while 3 previously written songs will round out the release. With a full touring schedule planned in support of Tables Will Turn, be sure to keep attune for much more from Take Offense.

You can pre-order a copy here!

Customer Highlight — The Deloreans

Mastered by our friend Carl Saff, the Deloreans debut vinyl release, American Craze, will be available on heavy 180 gram wax very soon!

The deluxe vinyl package includes a download code for the digital version of the album.  You can pre-order your copy from the band now!

Customer Highlight — Canyons/Tigon/Foreign Theaters

From the hot-boxed catacombs of mathcore-meets-stoner-metal, comes the heaviest 3-way split this year from Missouri’s Canyons and Foreign Theaters, and the Bay Area’s Tigon. Sharing influences that range from Coalesce and Kylesa to Black Sabbath and The Melvins, these three “math-sludge” virtuosos deliver a formidable testament to how grimey, raw, and technical the recesses of hardcore can go.

This limited edition pressing of 500 copies is a result of the collaboration between Melotov Records and Mayfly Records. Grab a copy today!

Customer Highlight — Second Academy

Thanks to Tsurumi Records for enlisting GGR to press the limited edition Second Academy Bohemian Grove LP on translucent pearl color wax!

As easily as The Second Academy can craft playful lo-fi rock melodies, you’re quickly reminded that a cunning snake lies below. Throbbing rock anthems twist in and out of more melodic and often experimental moments throughout the album.

You can pre-order the LP (which also includes a copy on CD) now.  All web orders also get a link to download an advance copy digitally!

Customer Highlight — Less Than Jake

Hot off a European and Japanese tour, Less Than Jake‘s limited edition color 7″ for the TV EP is finally available!  This EP features killer renditions of classic and modern television show theme songs (plus the Freecreditreport.com song).

The guys will be staying busy with many upcoming U.S. tour dates in 2011.  So, as they say in TV land….stay tuned!  (sorry, had to do it).

Customer Highlight — The Christmas Gig

Thanks to Wieden + Kennedy and Target for enlisting GGR to press two extremely limited edition 7″ singles and a special clear-vinyl LP for Target’s The Christmas Gig!

Target commissioned several indie artists to create holiday songs to be used in a variety of Target commercials, and these songs are featured on the two 7″ singles and full-length album we have been manufacturing over the past few months.  As a bonus, Target has made all of the songs available as free downloads, and is also allowing consumers to share them through email and social networks as branded Christmas cards!

Snow Is Falling” by Darker My Love was performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night (12.14.10)….and sure enough — that record he’s holding in front of the camera in the video below, we are proud to say it’s one of our very own.

We at GGR all wish you and yours the very best Holiday season and Happy New Year!
