Big news alert! “Past Lives”, the brand new album from ZEPHR (Denver, CO), is out today. Like, right now! January 17, 2025! It's only available digitally right now, but it will be available as a 12" classic black vinyl LP along with the digital long player version. In fact, pre-orders for the vinyl are live and you can secure a copy (with free download) from our WEB STORE as well as our BANDCAMP. We expect those platters to be in hand by early February and they'll ship ASAP. Physical distribution will be in all the regular locations shortly after the pre-orders ship. If you prefer the digital-only, you can go to the same spots to buy/download or stream it right this second on all the streamies! We are ultra-amped that this record is being released through another wonderful partnership with Dumb Ghost Recording Enterprises. Lead single, ‘HiLoKC’, is on our bandcamp sampler and if you've been following the lads then you've heard two other killer singles by now. "Past Lives" shows the heart-on-sleeve punk trio in classic form. The band is completely dialed in and the music offers validation for anyone who is battling something, whether it be internal or external. The long player is another signature statement from ZEPHR that articulates how both anthemic and intimate songs can help us all learn and grow. It's like taking care of yourself while being entertained at the same time! Check the record out and hear what we're talking about.

The most seasoned act on the SLN roster, Hooper, has just delivered a brand new digital single! It's called "Cans And Twine" and it's a masterful post-hardcore indie-college-rock gem, featuring a light pop sheen that puts the tune over the top. Hooper continues to unfailingly encapsulate nearly every punk and indie sub-genre with style and originality. You can obtain "Cans And Twine" from our WEB STORE as well a our BANDCAMP. If streaming is your preferred method for enjoying audio entertainment, this new single is on all of 'em. Either way, hop on and strap in. Hooper still drives the boat!

Heaty Beat, Columbus, OH's best rapper, has just released her first digital extended player! It's entitled "THE WARM-UP" and it's far more than the title implies. After dropping a series of digital singles throughout 2020 and 2021, Heaty Beat laid low and concentrated on her university studies. Then this fall, she notified SLNHQ that she was back in the game and hit us with "THE WARM-UP" EP, her most realized work to date. Not only are Heaty Beat's skills as a producer and rapper in top form, she's also further honed her talent as a songwriter. Hear for yourself! The digital EP is available from our WEB STORE and from our BANDCAMP. It's also on all your favorite digi-streaming platforms. Heaty Beat is a real one and if you know, you know. If she's new to you, now is a great time to get on board!
