Welcome to another solid 7″ release from our buds over at Group Tightener — Fungi Girls Owsley Knows / Glare #2 7″.
Fungi Girls are three high school kids from Texas. They’ve released records on Hozac, Play Pinball and Psychic Lunch. For their Group Tightener release, the trio recorded twin bursts of catchy garage-psych that will force its way into your brain and probably chill there for months and months. Throw it in the jukebox and drop the quarter in…over and over. Limited to 500 copies!
Friends, we are delighted to announce the release of Paradise of Bachelors’ inaugural album, “Said I Had a Vision”: Songs & Labels of David Lee, 1960-1988 (PoB-01). This first-ever anthology of David Lee’s career as songwriter, performer and recording artist, record label owner, producer, record store proprietor, and all-around impresario includes fourteen songs by ten artists, twelve of which have never before been reissued. Each package includes a SCOP Gospel newsletter from 1988, a coupon for free digital download of the entire record, and a deluxe 8-page 11 x 11″ booklet containing more than 10,000 words of essays, track-by-track notes, and discographical information drawing from several years of friendship, research, record collecting, and personal interviews.
You can preview and grab a copy at various independent record stores around the country, or directly from Paradise of Bachelors.
During a relentless tour schedule over the past year (including runs with Bitter End, The Mongoloids, Donnybrook, Grave Maker, and Call To Preserve), Venia crafted 4 new songs of intense hardcore that once and for all prove their genuine tenacity. Drawing influence from the likes of Buried Alive, Madball, and Merauder, this newest taste of Venia’s musical direction will impress both fans new and old.
Available through our friends at Blood & Ink Records on 7″, you can order now and have access to extremely limited colors of vinyl! (The package also includes a download code for all of the 7″ tracks, plus one “outtake” track).
Thank you to Mark Utley and Magnolia Mountain for asking GGR to press the group’s first LP, Nothing As It Was. We first worked with Magnolia Mountain in June 2010 on their newest release double-LP, Redbird Green.
Magnolia Mountain is a blue collar, DIY band who write and perform their own material, a mix of folk, country, blues, bluegrass and other American music styles. All eight members work day jobs and reinvest every penny the band makes into recording and releasing their albums.
You can grab a copy of both Nothing As It Was and Redbird Green directly from the band or at a variety of independent record stores.
Blood Warrior is the culmination of a life long collaborative desire between Greg Jamie (O’Death), Joey Weiss (Super Monster), Kristin Kellas and Rubin Berger (Musee Mecanique, Laura Gibson, Mirah). Based in New York but made up of members who spend most of their time on the road internationally, Blood Warrior is a unique take on indie-folk and more traditional music of the Americas. Started as a recording project at Greg Jamie’s childhood home and finished at a home studio in Portland, OR, the band has now realized their music in a live setting. Blood Warrior’s distinct sound, consisting of guitars, casios, chord organs, autoharp, marching drums, lots of percussion and four part vocal harmonies, is ripe with unexpected hooks while nodding to roots in folk, gospel and psychedelia.
Our friends over at Safety Meeting Records made this great record come to market, and we are proud to have pressed all 300 limited edition LPs (hand numbered, and including a CD version of the album). The record is available through independent retailers nationally, or directly from the band at one of their live shows!
Young Cub Records is assembling the amazing 7″ Reggae On Rugged Road series by the reggae/ska group, The Aggrolites (Jesse Wagner (vocals, lead guitar), Brian Dixon (rhythm guitar), Roger Rivas (organ), and Jeff Roffredo (bass)).

GGR is proud to be the official pressing plant for this amazing series – thank you to Young Cub Records!
Adam Smith and his Invisible Hand have been producing some of the best punk-laced pop gems and quietly experimenting with home-recording under the radar for the past four years; hitting their stride off a series of split 7” EP releases with Naked Gods (Boone, NC), The Alphabet (Harrisonburg, VA) and Borrowed Beams of Light (Charlottesville, VA). With the Funny / Not Funny Records release of Invisible Hand, the band is ready to expand their devoted-listener base.
GGR is proud to have pressed their latest full-length album, Invisible Hand. You can grab a copy from Funny/Not Funny Records.
Thanks to Dreamover Records for having GGR press their Kickstarter-funded vinyl project for Brandston‘s Send Us A Signal LP.
Cleveland Ohio’s BRANDTSON recorded several ground breaking and influential albums for Deep Elm records in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. In 2004, BRANDTSON and Deep Elm parted ways, when they found a new home with The Militia Group. Then came “SEND US A SIGNAL”, which many consider to be their finest work.
This special limited edition pressing is available on a variety of short-run color wax. Hit up Dreamover to grab a copy!
In the spirit of its namesake, Mages is a band whose music moves; whose songs evoke an aura, an ethereal presence rather than a short-lived hook. With songwriting that reflects collaboration, Mages offer an expansive and unique repertoire in both live shows and recorded tracks. Sometimes folk, other times the melodic riffs of bluegrass, pop and rock. Mages transcend the rigid definitions of any particular genre. They are elusive yet organic, grounded yet experimental. This music is not only concerned with the world, but with what is beyond here, the infinite.
GGR is proud to have pressed the new Mages EP, Magestic.
On Rhetoric, Matt Scheuermann writes songs of every day life, of and for the people he knows, the ones he doesn’t, and all things that seem absurd and beautiful about this world. His frequently life-affirming, and quasi-existentialist lyrics function well with his versatile, dynamic vocals, which can shift from a colorful forte to a soft piano in the snap of a finger.
The Rhetoric LP is the first vinyl title released by Shout Out Loud Prints, which happens to also be a killer screen printing studio in Columbus, Ohio. They print a variety of shirts, paper products, buttons, and of course, record jackets.
(oh yeah, in true analog style, they also handle cassette tape duplication and screen printing)
