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!

The friendliest neighborhood pop-punk band in Denver, Bad Year, has a brand new self-titled album coming out! Tuesday September 24 is the release date. This is Bad Year's first proper album. After a couple of EP's between 2017-2019, the band had a couple of hiatuses and a few lineup changes. They eventually hit their stride with the revamped lineup and their new self-titled album is proof that good things come to those who wait. This forthcoming long player is stacked front to back with ultra-catchy hooks and sing along anthems. You can pre-order Bad Year's “S/T” from our WEB STORE or our BANDCAMP as a 12" vinyl long player on translucent red with black splatter vinyl and/or a digital long player. Pre-orders will get two singles, 'Get Well' and 'Idle Hands', as immediate downloads. Our bandcamp sampler also features 'Idle Hands', so pop over their and check it out. This fantastic album is another co-release with our super Denver record label pals, Motorcycle Potluck Records. If you’ve been following Bad Year over the years, this is absolutely the album you've been waiting for!
