Y’all just got dunked on… again! The incredible first album from despAIR jordan, “Before Your Wings Gave Out”, is now out as a vinyl LP. People asked for it and now here we are! The album was originally released digitally last year and features 6 songs of well-crafted, angular post-punk. It definitely runs as a long player with each song being a mini saga full of energy and emotion. despAIR Jordan blend elements of late 70’s/early 80’s UK post-punk with the modern pop-sensibilities of more recent post-punk and post-hardcore acts. The LP comes on randomly mixed color vinyl, spins at 33.3 RPM and can be obtained via our WEB STORE or our BANDCAMP. But wait! A deluxe digital download that contains the album plus the brand new "Hell Year EP” as a vinyl-only bonus is included. For free. What a deal! As if that weren’t enough incentive, there are 40 limited edition copies of the LP that come with a bonus hand numbered Diamond Bee print. These editions are exclusive to despAIR jordan and SLN in a limited quantity for direct orders and as release show exclusives (4/15/22 in Denver). The remainder will be Green Noise Records retail exclusives until they sell out! The album is still on all the preferred digital/streaming sites while the vinyl is distributed by Recess Ops and carried by all the best independent record stores along Colorado's Front Range.

Pressing Info: 40 limited edition 12" LP’s on randomly mixed color vinyl with a bonus hand numbered Diamond Bee print / digital long player. 160 standard edition 12" LP’s on randomly mixed color vinyl / digital long player. Vinyl includes a deluxe download with the album plus the brand new "Hell Year EP” as a bonus.

Hello once again buddies and faithful followers! We are very pleased to officially welcome another new addition to our incredible stable of stars- LARAIGNÉ! Greg Laraigné, who now goes by the moniker LARAIGNÉ, is a solo artist based in Toronto, ON, Canada. What comes to mind when trying to describe the music of LARAIGNÉ? Honestly, the first thing that comes to mind is Steve Earle’s “I Feel Alright”. Roots style music with a harder edge and punk rock ethics. That might lead me to also think later era Uncle Tupelo and the more rocking Son Volt. These are references from 20-30 years ago, but that’s not a bad thing. It means LARAIGNÉ has a timeless sound, which is a necessary asset when traveling the world as a true troubadour. I guess maybe Brian Fallon, Jon Snodgrass and Frank Turner would be more modern comparisons. Closer still might be his friend and now-SLN labelmate Seth Anderson, in that they encapsulate both the brightness and melancholy of living one’s values through song. Honest people making honest music. What else should music be, really? “The Brightside Of It All” is the title of LARAIGNÉ’s long-anticipated new album that we’ll be releasing in conjunction with our friends at Shield Recordings (The Netherlands). It will be available as a 12" vinyl long player (smokey clear!) and digital long player on May 11, 2022. You can pre-order the album from our WEB STORE or our BANDCAMP right now. The lead single and title track, ‘The Brightside Of It All’, just premiered over at Punk Rock Theory and is up on our bandcamp sampler for immediate listening. “The Brightside Of It All”, recorded by Matt Snell at Genesis Sound Inc. and produced by Eamon McGrath (the same producer as Seth Anderson’s “We Could Be.”), is a perfect collection of folk punk and americana songs and we’re eager to get them all inside the ears of the sharpest of listeners!

Greetings world wide internetters! We are excited to officially announce that our very own Vancouver loser punk power trio, Night Court, has a brand new album on the way! “Nervous Birds! Too” will be released on cassette tape and digital long player on May 6, 2022, once again in cooperation with Canada's Debt Offensive Records. Lead single, ‘Titanic’, was just premiered over at punknews.org with an accompanying video and is now up on all the latest streaming spots for rocking and/or rolling. The tune is also on our bandcamp sampler. Pre-orders for “Nervous Birds! Too” on cassette or digital are now available from our WEB STORE or our BANDCAMP and 'Titanic' will be included as an immediate download. Night Court's “NB!T” (we just thought of this cool shorthand) represents the second half of the Nervous Birds! Duology, preceded by the extremely well-received “Nervous Birds! One” (or “NB!O” in our new shorthand) that was unleashed on the world last December. “NB!T” continues the band’s proclivity of delightfully sick melodies through stupid ripping guitars, disgusting fuzzed-out bass, and bombastic beats on borrowed and broken drums. Night Court demands attention, but long attention spans are not required. Buckle up for ride #2!
