timpopkid Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 PopKid Records is putting out our first new release in over 10 years. On top of that it's our first ever full length album on vinyl. We're pretty excited about it and wanted to tell as many people as we could. This album is by a wonderful band from France called Chestnut Road. I have been a gigantic fan ever since their very first 7" and have just watched in amazement as they get better and better with each release. Their new album is their second full length and is also their second self titled release. We're calling it LPII as a nickname. This is a band playing dynamic and passionate melodic punk rock. The kind of punk rock that I just adore. They would be right at home in a mid 90's UK punk collection along side of bands like Leatherface, Broccoli and Hooton 3 Car. If you're into US bands like Jawbreaker or to a lesser extent Hot Water Music, I would think these guys may be up your alley as well. Scott from the band Porcelain Boys said they sounded like "Bivouac meets Minx - Circa 2016" The LP is on orange vinyl and is available to purchase right this very second here: http://popkidrecords.bigcartel.com/product/chestnut-road-lpii-orange-vinyl Digital downloads also on our Bandcamp page here: https://popkid.bandcamp.com/album/chestnut-road-lp-ii This is a co release with 2 other fantastic labels. PopKid is handling North America. In Europe, the record will be available from Brassneck Records and in Japan, you can pick it up from Snuffy Smiles. Thank you for reading, sorry for the intrusion and just to recap: Chestnut Road - LP II - Now Available: Available in North America from: PopKid Records - popkidrecords.bigcartel.com / popkid.bandcamp.com Available in Europe from: Brassneck Records - brassneckrecords.bigcartel.com Available in Japan from: Snuffy Smiles Records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prestonlanes Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Oh shit! (I will check this out, too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timpopkid Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Chestnut Road is good stuff, especially if you dig the UK strain of punk rock from the mid 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclz Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Awesome will check out! PS - Found the Horace Goes Skiing 7" over the weekend for a $1. Haven't listened to it yet so I don't know what they sound like, but bought it just cause it was on your label! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't listened to it yet so I don't know what they sound like, but bought it just cause it was on your label! Hey that's a good score on the Horace Goes Skiing 7". We're all out of those. We did find about 100 of the Horace Goes Skiing full length CD, so if you dig the 7", there's more tunes available for you. Definitely check out Chestnut Road, if you like our other stuff, I'd be surprised if you didn't like them too. Thanks for the support!

mclz Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 That Horace 7" is great. I still have to check out the CR stuff, but if I like it i'll add that CD to the cart if I order the LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timpopkid Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Great, thanks for checking it out. We're through about a quarter of the Chestnut Road LPs, thanks to everyone that's picked up a copy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuckinandsuckinandtouchin Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Grabbed one (and a Gan 7")! Both sounded great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timpopkid Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Grabbed one (and a Gan 7")! Both sounded great. Excellent, thanks for the order. I've always felt Gan was terribly underrated, though we did sell quite a few of those 7"s to Japan. We've sold a good amount of the LPs and it's not going to be repressed. So if anyone wants one, take a listen and grab a copy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timpopkid Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 If anyone orders a copy today, I'll toss in a few PopKid back catalog releases as part of a Record Store Day deal. Or something. #marketing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
