graveface Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hi! This might seem like a lame post but I'd love some assistance from the board. I run a small vinyl shop in Savannah and really want to have an impressively radical hardcore / punk / emo / whatever section. I feel I have the classics down, as I'm old. Where I fail is keeping up with contemporary stuff. I actually use this board often to see what bands are being posted about and then look to see who distributes them blah blah blah. Anyone feel like typing out their favs or even, if you walked into a store who you'd like to see? I order directly from most of the medium size labels that post on here already, looking to get deeper. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingnatural Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I can't help much as I'm in to the classics myself. I will say that I dig a modern band named Rival Mob though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourfourtwo Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Based on this board, if you stock Deathwish records, I think you'll be set haha. Ebullition, Run For Cover, No Sleep, Topshelf, Jade Tree, Saddle Creek... All labels with high demand that tend to keep things in stock/not OOP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omik11303 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 This sounds like it's probably a blast. I'll try to help. For the emo stuff, ordering some stock from Count Your Lucky Stars and Tiny Engines is a must. They both have really good catalogs and have put out a lot of awesome releases by up-and-coming bands. Releases I'd recommend would be Foxing; Football, etc; Annabel; and Joi De Vivre from CYLS, and Monument; Run, Forever; Latitudes and Longitudues; and Restorations from Tiny Engines. Super cool guys too and easy to deal with. Definitely get some stock of the Midnight Souls album that was released last year. Absolute masterpiece and I'm kind of bummed they broke up. If I walked into a record store and saw that, I'd be stoked. The first four you mentioned (Ebullition, Topshelf, No Sleep, and RFC) are definitely labels to get records from. No Sleep especially has been cranking out decent records one after the other, with the occasional slip-up and the occasional classic. 6131 Records and Animal Style just released the new Better Off and Courtesy Drop records, respectively, that are both very good. Unfortunately (and I'm excluding the main, obvious ones like Deathwish), most of the better hardcore/punk/grind/screamo labels (and this is just my opinion) are based in Europe. I'm talking about ones like React With Protest, Throatruiner, and Dog Knights - especially Dog Knights, among others. The only exception to that might be IFB Records, which has a huge distro list of obscure 90's and 00's hardcore/black metal/grind albums with a few emo and even pop punk albums thrown in. Also, you can't go wrong with Pure Noise, even though they're not in the hardcore/punk/emo category you mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't sure if Ryan wanted to import, but I agree.. if you're going screamo/emo from overseas, React With Protest and Dog Knights are awesome. Also will throw in Adagio830and PurePainSugar/Echo Canyon Records (even if ECR have such a small discography). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwhitmuzik Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I wish we had more labels that got stuff from Dog Knights here in the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much appreciated. hey man I'm the guy who comes every other Friday to pick up records with my new paycheck and always ask if you've got saves the day. last time I was there I had my 4 month old son and girlfriend with me. Cool to see you on VC and keep up the good work with your store. I have to drive from South Carolina when I come and my visit is always the highlight of the month.
