Artist: Dismiss

Title: Lost Transmissions: 1995-1996

Catalog #: SLN-260

Formats: 12” Vinyl LP / Digital

Release Date: 5/19/26

Hype: It's finally release day for the archival LP from Dismiss! "Lost Transmissions: 1995-1996" contains 11 tracks of attitude drenched in distortion - a hook and a touch of melody at breakneck speed - a wry snarl and an unrelenting urgency. By now, readers know that Planes Mistaken For Stars quickly rose out of the ashes of Dismiss. This album is a must for any Planes fan wanting a glimpse of the very beginning of the vision. But make no mistake, Dismiss stands tall in its own right. Links are below if you missed the pre-order, plus Recess Ops will be distributing the LP. Look for them to pop up in all your favorite Denver-area record shops too. Thanks for turning back the clock with us for this one!

Topic: New Release! Pre-Order Now!

Artist: Hooper

Title: Carry Your Own Saints

Catalog #: SLN-277

Formats: 12” Vinyl EP / Digital

Release Date: 6/2/26

Hype: SLN team captains Hooper are hitting us with a killer set of new tunes. For their newest EP, “Carry Your Own Saints”, they submitted themselves to the guidance of J Robbins (Jawbox, Burning Airlines) in his iconic studio, The Magpie Cage in Baltimore, Maryland. The record is a suite of biographical songs focusing on figures as wide ranging as Polish scientist Marie Curie, and American author Jack Kerouac. Each song probes a different icon in search of mythologies worth believing in. The songs crackle with a newfound urgency that comes with deadlines, and the band gains an added heft and precision with Mr. Robbins’ firecracker production. It's Hooper’s most fully realized set of songs to date. "Carry Your Own Saints" is available on 12” vinyl and as a digital extended player. Pre-orders are up now in our usual spots ahead of the June 2 release date. The lead single, ‘92U’, premiered today (April 28th) over at Punk Rock Theory and you can also jam the song on our bandcamp sampler or on all the various streaming platforms. Long live the Hoop!

Release Date: 5/19/26

Hype: Greetings loyal music lovers! We've added a brand new act to the SLN family tree- Dismiss! This is another special addition to the SLN lineup, as Dismiss joins us with an album that has been 30 years in the making. That album is called "Lost Transmissions: 1995-1996". Dismiss (Peoria, IL) was the precursor to the much loved and singularly transcendent Planes Mistaken For Stars (Denver, CO/Chicago, IL). "Lost Transmissions: 1995-1996" contains previously unreleased demo recordings featuring Gared O'Donnell, Matt Bellinger, Jamie Drier and Mike Johnson. The album is available on 12” vinyl and as a digital long player. Pre-orders are up now in the usual places. It's a co-release with our buds Rad Girlfriend Records too. The lead single, ‘Trap’, premiered today (April 14th) over at Thoughts Words Action and you can also rock the tune on our bandcamp sampler or on various streaming platforms. Congratulate yourself on finding these lost transmissions, friends and fans!

The flexi comes packaged with brand new, full color cover art. It's another shared effort with Fail Harmonic Records and the flexis will soon be arriving at record shops and distributed by Recess Ops. The Gamits have more planned for 2026, so stay tuned for that news!

Now we are pleased as punch to announce that today is pre-order day for Call Sign Cobra "II" (Remastered Reissue).

If there are any vinyl copies remaining of "II" after the show, we'll get 'em into Denver-area stores and into the hands of our fine distributor, Recess Ops. Don't sleep on this!
