The Scowl EP goes hard. I like this direction for them, fresher than the LP in my opinion.
The GUMM and Buggin singles are great. I'm looking forward to seeing Buggin again at Tied Down this June now that they have more material.

A subreddit or Discord seems like a fair idea, even though I’m not big on either.
Probably as good of a time as any to mention that I’ve been working on an alternative forum but it’s going to be a little ways out.  Some folks here are automatically going to nope out of that idea with myself and a friend or two at the helm, but the intent of it will be primarily for music discussion – new albums, announcements, ranking discographies, etc. – with a designated spot for vinyl drops and vinyl discussion.
Reddit is better for up-to-date links and drops as they happen.  Way ahead of VC about 95% of the time.  VC allows for a little more discussion about music when it happens.
If anyone is fixated on just sharing store links and shipping updates, there’s nothing wrong with staying on VC when it decides it’ll be online.  If anyone else is intrigued by the idea of more of a music forum, I’ll gladly keep you in mind for an invite and would love to have you over there at some point.

Shipped in late November last year.

Even at the height of bandcamp save our band Friday you couldn’t get me to give a shit about a remix album.
 
Its always been so delusional to imagine a band thinking “these songs… with beats! That’s what our fans want!!!”

All this hype for a remix album

At a very early stage they were planning on it but decided to go a different direction. Unshackled. They didn't actually make these songs as American Football and change the name last minute haha Scott just didn't explain it fully.

It's explained more in depth here: https://uproxx.com/indie/lies-interview-mike-kinsella-nate-american-football/

3 songs on a 12"? Fuck off. 

Going to wait until I can hear the album, love the band but the last full length was kind of forgettable. 

This song is solid, but the single from late last year didn't do much for me. After how disappointed I was by the last record, I'm gonna hold off on this for now.

Hearing BF repeatedly mention Leatherface and Drug Church, then say on a scale of "Local Honey to Slayer" the new material is an "8" has me very excited to hear what they're cookin' up. Been listening to a lot of TGA lately, specifically Senior and the Queen + Sink or Swim, I'm actually really looking forward to this new record.

I don't know.  I'm just not arrogant enough to think I know how everyone thinks and feels.  Go eat a burrito.

Imagine unironically shitting on a band for cashing in on the same popularity that introduced you to their music.

Don't see the problem, the dudes be cashing in, good on them

These went out pretty quick! Turned out pretty nice.

This isn't coming out on Hopeless, but I thought the exact same thing, hahahahaha.

I'll wait for the inevitable double LP re-release with 3-4 bonus tracks that will likely come out next summer.

Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'

Heads up that Militarie Gun's entire EP catalogue got repressed via Loma Vista. They have four new tracks coming out later this month, but it doesn't look like the deluxe All Roads Lead To The Gun is getting pressed (yet). Video for one of the new tracks below.
 

Tracks have been good. I'll get around to ordering this but not in a rush. February 2023 release.
