SNOW WHAT "IT'S OVER" CASSETTE OUT NOW

All good things come to an end is that the cliche? When a band that is as good as Snow What it is natural to want them to keep churning out the tunes forever but such is life. Sadly this is indeed because "It's Over" is the final release from indie rock pop mavens Snow What. But the sadness is replaced with joy as "It's Over" is a damn fine collection of 19 songs, the perfect swan song that sees the group perfecting their style. Rok Lok was fortunate enough book many shows for Snow What over the years in addition to releasing their demo cassette and their LP "So Far So Good". I have said it before and I will say it again, if you dig indie rock like Guided By Voices, Sebadoh and Chisel there is absolutely no reason why Snow What shouldn't be your new favorite band. "It's Over" is limited to an edition of 50 white clamshell cassettes with full color labels and full color, numbered j-cards.

KKIDSS "ANEMIA" CASSETTE OUT NOW 
Kkidss are back with another release on Rok Lok! Picking up where the last cassette, "Candy" left off "Anemia" finds Christopher Edwards (the brilliant mind behind Kkidss), expanding his sonic repertoire as his brand of lofi bedroom folk/ramshackle pop finds veers of into more of a shoegaze/noise pop edge at times. Edwards seamlessly melds together dark, introspective lyrics with hiss laden acoustic guitars, tremolo overload ed distorted guitars, a swooning voice, tape manipulation, and dirgy drum machines. Kkidss is reminiscent of a cross between Smog, Two Dollar Guitar and Sonic Youth. Eighteen lofi bedroom popgaze churners packed into one C-60 cassette. "Anemia" is limited to an edition of 40 home dubbed (in real time) white clam shell cassettes, full color printed labels, and a full color, numbered j-card.
