HATS AND GLASSES - NOT TITLED 10" OUT NOW

In other news, the Hats and Glasses record is out now and available

with all of our records at NEWBURY COMICS. Here's some info on the band

and EP:

A bit of a departure, TDB Record’s newest act Hats and Glasses play a

brand of jangly indie rock that is as eclectic as it is nostalgic.

Recalling the harmonies of The Beatles and the raw stomp of The Ramones,

all three members of the band pull their weight sharing lead vocal

duties. Add to the mix foot tapping drum patterns, poppy guitar jabs,

off-kilter keyboard runs, distorted bass and these Bostonians end up with

music that is refreshingly memorable and dancey.

The record comes on thick clear vinyl housed inside a 4 color hand silk

screened cover. Http://TDBRECORDS.BIGCARTEL.com for more info and

COCTOPUS "12 INCHES OF..." LP - OUT NOW

After spending at least three or four months at the pressing plant,

twenty boxes of Coctopus records recently arrived at the snowy door step

of TDB HQ. The artwork is stunning, the etching is flawless, and most

importantly, this thing shreds the hardest. Here’s some info on the

band:

When skate thrash titans Bones Brigade, and Misfits-worshiping punks

Shanghai Valentine broke up, something was already brewing in the steamy

waters of Boston Harbor. Two members from each band have come together

to form Coctopus, a troupe that sonically embodies two decades worth of

rock history. Ripping guitar solos, epic harmonies, wah wah-ed bass

lines, and raging drum-fills bubble to the surface on Coctopus’ debut

record. Fans of Iron Maiden, Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, and

Jimmy Hendrix should all take note. The musical virtuosity this band

displays is only rivaled by the pure balls-out rock they create.

The new record, entitled “12 Inches of…” is a one sided LP with

an etching on the B side. Full color artwork and quality vinyl by Erika

Records. Http://TDBRECORDS.BIGCARTEL.com for more info and music!
