New Record Pressing — Bilders

New record pressing – Bilders – Neverlasting.

Bilders new album is a mix of psychic adventures, hard psychedelia and commentary with a bite. Bilders have always sung outliers with a heap of empathy—exploitation of migrants, unmitigated killing and the state of our depleted planet. This album maintains an analog feel with technical finesse as it casts a cold eye on uses and abuses of power in the higher echelons. It is pure Bilders. Surprise collaborations bring in fresh tangents of colour and emotional edge. “We are the Neverlasting renter-squatters of Earth exhausted”.

The band is once again the voice/guitar of Bill Direen, bass of Matt Swanson and near everything else by Alex McManus, with guesting by former Bilders. It’s the same lineup as last year’s acclaimed Dustbin of Empathy, and the first ‘core’ Bilders lineup to remain constant for more than one album. The new compatibility shows. It’s an album that builds on current strengths.

Notable guestings include Athens Georgia lights Claire Horne of 1980s BBQ Killers, and Curtiss Pernice, guitarist of heavy vanguard Porn Orchard, with a snook-in from experimental and electronic prince Todd Gerber. Two never-released tunes by vintage Bilders (Stu Page and Greig Bainbridge) sit perfectly with the new material. This is quite simply the strongest Bilders album ever. 

Co-released by Grapefruit Records and Carbon Records.

New Record Pressing — Donnas

New record pressing — Donnas – Bitchin’.

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 — Lindsey Buck

#image_title

New record pressing – Lindsey BuckThe 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

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.

The Limited-edition vinyl ships out on or around 10/31/2025. Available via Soul Selects.

New Record Presing — Jonah Koslen

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 – King Princess

New record pressing – King PrincessGirl 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.”

New Record Pressing — Kitty Craft

New record pressing – Kitty Craft – Catskills + Lost Tapes.

#image_title

Kitty Craft is Pamela Valfer.

Debuting in 1994 with the S/T cassette release on the Australian, Toytown label, and IT’S STUPID EP 7″ in 1995, Pam’s sound was originally a low-tech affair. 1997’s I GOT RULEZ EP 7” expanded her sound with keys & sampler, leading to 1998 release of BEATS & BREAKS FROM THE FLOWER PATCH (originally released in the USA by Kindercore Records). In 2000, her 2nd full-length album, CATSKILLS followed on March Records in the USA. Both albums had Japanese tours and Japanese CD releases with Rock Records.

Around 2003/2004 after the completion of her 3rd Album… Pam dropped the mic, hung up her headphones, and put Kitty Craft into hibernation. The album was put down and filed away. Pam then focused on her visual and multimedia art, and career as an art professor.

In 2019, Kitty Craft woke from hibernation and quietly without fanfare, released Beats and Breaks from the Flower Patch and Catskills on all streaming & digital platforms. Followed soon after by Lost Tapes, a gem of an album, comprised exclusively of previously unreleased songs recorded as a full album in 2003, but was shelved never to see the light of day…until now.

In some kind of pandemic zeitgeist, along with stuff like Lofi Girl/ChilledCow, a 90’s aesthetic resurgence, and the popularity of new and old vinyl records – Kitty Craft has been adopted by a whole new group of digital natives. Amazing and unexpected.

Valentine’s Day 2022 brought us Kitty Craft’s first full-length LP vinyl record… MEW (1994-2004), an anthology album with tracks spanning all eras… MEW, shows an artist with a clear vision from the start.

2023: Takotsubo Records brings you the expanded CD versions of the Kitty Craft discography. Starting with BEATS & BREAKS and LOST TAPES… Both include previously unreleased songs. Back at home with Darla Records for worldwide distribution!

2024: Darla Records releases the Deluxe Edition 2xLP of Beats and Breaks from the Flower Patch which includes Kitty Craft’s first two EPs It’s Stupid and I Got Rulez, the five bonus tracks featured on the new Takotsubo Records edition CD, and the Rock Records (Japan) CD bonus tracks. Original artwork on a gatefold jacket with a fancy obi card.

2025: Darla Records releases Catskills + Lost Tapes, a two album deluxe edition 2xLP bringing Kitty Craft’s second and third albums together on vinyl for the first time. Including bonus tracks that you probably haven’t heard!
