It has been a really busy year for Rok Lok Records and this month alone so this release of 6 new releases. Here is the run down.

MAKE IT PLAIN "SOMERSAULT" 7 INCH

Out now is the MAKE IT PLAIN "Somersault" 7 inch. This two song 7 inch is female fronted indie rock at its finest akin to stuff like Lush, Rainer Maria, Velocity Girl and Red Dye No 5. This record is limited to 200 pieces and is packed in a full color double sided cover. This is a co-release with my buddy Andy at strictly no capital letters so for all of you folks in Europe please order from him. The 7 inch costs $6 PPD in the USA and $8 PPD in Canada. For Euros please contact strictly no capital letters. Listen to this wonderful record here on Bandcamp:

STARS ARE INSANE & VEHICLE BLUES SINGLES CLUB CASSETTES

Closing out the first volume of the Singles Club Cassette Series are entries from STARS ARE INSANE and VEHICLE BLUES. Each cassette is limited to 50 cassettes with hand stamped labels and full color, numbered card stock j cards. They are $5 each PPD in the USA. ($8 PPD for Canada and $9 PPD everywhere else). Or you can purchase all 11 Singles Club entries- OUTSIDE THE MUSEUM, THE ONLY GHOST IN TOWN, MONOGAMY, KEVIN GREENSPON, HANNA ELSON, MIKE NAIDEAU, KENT STATE, KATRINA STONEHART, SHIVERING WINDOW, STARS ARE INSANE and VEHICLE BLUES all for $30 PPD in the USA.

STARS ARE INSANE delivers four sprawling, ambient shoegaze soundscapes. An exploration in the relationships and correlation between the volatile yet soothing forces of nature and the human experience. For those who have been following the varied sonic history of Stars Are Insane I find these songs to be a marriage stylistically speaking between "Anonymously Yours" and "9 Untitled Songs" while being new, not solely clinging onto past aesthetics.

VEHICLE BLUES plays three songs that hosts all of the hallmarks of bedroom shoegaze/fuzz pop- whether it is the layered tones of hypnotic guitar fuzz, or the hushed melancholy of Holcombe's voice. The pulsating, almost primitive "Psychocandy" esque drum machine sounds . Or how songs would morph from fuzzed out pop nuggets to sprawling canvases of reverb drenched noise. If you like fuzzy, loner bedroom pop/shoegaze then you need to give Vehicle Blues a spin. Previous releases on Bridgetown, Lillerne Tapes, Teen River, Hi Shadow and Juniper Tree Songs.

RON BEAUDET "AWKWARD AGE" CASSETTE

RON BEAUDET is based out of Worcester, MA and puts an isolated North East stamp on the genre of slacker pop with his full length "Awkward Age". Brimming with pure undeniable pop sensibility layered in reverb, the sounds Beaudet captures on "Awkward Age" is a mix of Beach Fossils, Comet Gain, and Wavves. Songs about longing, being carefree and young and of course, the summer- this a picture perfect indie pop album and I think you'll agree too. Limited to 40 numbered copies and black clam shell home dubbed cassettes with black & white card stock j-cards and stamped labels. $5 each PPD in the USA. ($8 PPD for Canada and $9 PPD everywhere else)
