Preorder MUSEUM MOUTH's 3rd album, "Alex I Am Nothing," via Self Aware Records. Check out the stream of their track, "Drool," over at Brooklyn Vegan. http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2014/04/museum_mouth_re.html#comments MUSEUM MOUTH is an indie/pop/punk band from the Wilmington, NC area. Museum Mouth self-released the 2010 full-length debut, "Tears In My Beer," and 2012's full-length, "Sexy But Not Happy." RIYL: The Thermals, Lemuria, Cloud Nothings This 2014 release marks their debut into vinyl territory and a sheen of maturity in the new songs. Some of the tracks are slower and the lyrics are phenomenally personal. Simply, this album is very good, and while we loved their previous releases, this is easily their best release to date. I can't even. Oh lord. "Alex I Am Nothing is a concept album about becoming obsessed with someone you can not have. The chords and song structures throughout the record stay consistent, there are repeated lyrical themes and the album is bookended with two “Alex” tracks. The record plays out the entire lifespan of said “relationship” (friendship, obsession, etc.) with the opening track (“Alex Impulse”) setting the scene and resolving with the closing track (“Alex Decider”). Side A tries to rationalize this doomed relationship whereas Side B accepts that the relationship will never happen. While this particular story is told through the lens of a gay male, it is a narrative that is universal regardless of sex or orientation." (Bear Trap) Track Listing —————————————————————————————————— Side A 1. Alex Impulse 2. Drool 3. Strange 4. Just Friends 5. Handsome And Boring Side B 6. Saltwater 7. Crocodile 8. Nickels And Dimes 9.

The excellent NOTCHES "Normal" EP is finally out and available on cassette from Hip Kid Records. 100 copies on red imprinted, pro-dubbed cassettes. This New Hampshire band features members of Billy Raygun and Betty Nico playing an absolutely perfect combination of mid-90's alt-rock, pop punk from every era, and still manages to keep it totally unique with an aesthetic and recording firmly rooted in DIY punk. Six bangers that will get, and remain, stuck in your head. Get it here: http://hipkidrecords.storenvy.com Listen to it here: http://hipkidrecords.bandcamp.com

My friend's dad was in an indie/emo band called Hush Harbor in the 90's. He doesn't have any of their stuff on vinyl and I want to get him something. I can't find any of their stuff for sale online. Although it has been sold on discogs before. If any of you guys have their self titled EP or their single I would pay a good deal more for them than what they are worth. -SP McDonald

CPR-16: HOLY SONS "Lost Decade II" LP + DIGITAL DOWNLOAD Hidden away in a virtual cave during the 90's, Emil Amos (Om, Grails, Lilacs & Champagne) amassed a catalog of over 1000 songs, never submitting any of them to a label or playing live. Working tirelessly in various basements across North Carolina, he used the 4-track as a radical therapeutic device to unravel various psychological conflictions and capture an ongoing spiritual implosion on tape. 15 Years after the first volume of songs from that era was released ["Lost Decade" in '99], a second volume has been dug out and rescued from endless piles of cassettes. There's an unparalleled intimacy to these recordings that could probably only be compared to Daniel Johnston's walkman tapes made while he was committed in a psych ward. In a ritualistic attempt to capture the rawest picture of human behavior, mescaline was ingested regularly before recording... giving a witchy glow to the songs in this collection. For any long-time Holy Sons listener this collection fills in some of the blanks of one of the most reticent and under-acknowledged song-writer/producers of the last 20 years. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES ON CLEAR VINYL. THIS IS A PRE-ORDER, EXPECTED TO SHIP MID-MARCH. Order @ http://www.chromepeeler.com/order.html

If anyone could help me find these or sell these to me, I'd appreciate it! I'll update when I think of others. Into It. Over It. - Proper, black variant Say Hi - Oohs & Aahs A Great Big Pile of Leaves - Have You seen My Prefrontal Cortex, Boom!, any variant Neck Deep - Rain In July/A History of Bad Decisions, any variant Panic! At The Disco - A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, any variant Thanks for looking this over!

This is the official thread for the amazingly talented and underrated artist, Ryan Star . Star is a (now independent) rock/alternative artist who has been previously been signed to (and left on his own terms) Atlantic Records and Island Records. Star achieved more widespread popularity following his stint and success on the tv show Rockstar Supernova and his hit singles Start a Fire, Breathe and Last Train Home from his second full length studio album, 11:59. Following the release of 11:59 and years of touring, Star left Atlantic and released his new single Stay Awhile with Island. After a year of recording and no music to be heard, Ryan left Island and released Animals EP independently (digital only- with a small physical cd release to come soon via PledgeMusic). Animals EP truly shows the growth of Ryan as both a songwriter and as a great artist who can compose a cohesive and thrilling alternative project. Ryan, now completely independent, with a very loyal, but fairly small fanbase, needs help to release his new album. You can pledge towards the release of the album right now at PledgeMusic by pre-ordering the album and buying other interesting items and experiences. Thanks and enjoy!
