SPELLS and Hooper, two of SLN's most tenured acts, have teamed up for a brand new split! It's the first in a new series in which two bands not only cover a song by each other, but record an original song written for them by the other band. So, without further ado, we present SPELLS & Hooper "Rock N Roll Swap Meet: Day 1"! The release date is set for 8/13/21. You can pre-order RNRSMD1 on hot pink 7" vinyl (with download that includes bonus tracks) or as a digital-only extended player from our WEB STORE or from our BANDCAMP. There's a limited version of the 7" that includes a bonus hand numbered transparent insert and it's only available from our web store through 7/28/21, then again at the Denver record release show on 8/14/21 (at HQ with roster-mates Chap) and finally as a retail exclusive through Green Noise Records until they're gone. We also have a special record/show ticket combo deal if you want to secure your vinyl early and attend the release show in Denver... find that HERE. Single tickets are also available HERE. Trevor McMorris (Hooper) proposed this split idea to Charlie Continental (SPELLS) back in 2019. The record has been in the can since mid-2020, but we wanted to wait until shows were back to get the record and the series out into the world in 2021. The striking art and packaging was developed by SLN Art Director Rob #3, which also includes project liner notes by Cameron Hawk (Lawsuit Models). This whole thing really is a family affair and we're excited to be able to finally share it with all of our friends and fans. Thanks for being a part of our world folks!

Lawsuit Models have a new digital single out today! It's called 'Victory Nap' and it's a donation-based track (pay-what-you-want) with proceeds benefiting Denver Homeless Out Loud. You can grab the tune from our WEB STORE or from our BANDCAMP. 'Victory Nap' is a sneak peak from a forthcoming LP that the Models have in the works for later this year. If this first track is any indication, the album is going to kick tons of butt. Longtime friends and fans will recognize the melodic precision and effortless catchiness that Lawsuit Models have come to embody. Thanks so much for supporting heartfelt independent music and the causes our artists are involved with!

The additions to SLN are moving right along and this one is extra special! Please welcome Denver, CO’s best single-summer-lifespan band, The Army Of Summer, with a years-in-the making S/T EP! In 2008, Tommy Ventura wanted to do a project featuring a suite of songs he'd been kicking around for several years and made a plan- Finish arranging the songs with a band he hand-selected, play a few shows and record. Tommy just wanted to do the project for one summer, so he chose a band name that would leave little doubt as to what his intentions were- The Army Of Summer. Once in place, the band achieved all of the modest goals that Tommy had laid out and by 2009, The Army Of Summer was no longer active. The recordings made the rounds on burned CD’s between friends and was a very fond memory for those involved as well as the friends that followed the group from inception to retirement. Finally, 13 years later, The Army Of Summer have an actual record! Tommy selected four tracks from a lone 2008 recording session to get brushed up via light remixing and mastering. The resulting S/T EP is now available on a clear, hand numbered, single sided stereo lathe cut 12" and digital extended player. Grab your preferred format from our WEBSTORE or from our BANDCAMP. The 12" is distributed by Recess Op and is also stocked by all your favorite independent record stores along Colorado's Front Range. The EP can of course be found on all the standard digital/streaming sites. The Army Of Summer were known for providing a stunning display of pseudo-progressive indie rock that leans heavily on Americana while incorporating the brighter elements of baroque pop. Many in the SLN family have been close to the orbit of Tommy and his bandmates (some were in the band), so we're really glad that everyone can finally hear the music that was made that one beautiful summer, some time ago.
Pressing Info: 50 hand numbered single sided stereo lathe cut 12"s on clear vinyl with stamped B side labels / digital extended player.

Release day is finally here for the new Steady Circuits album, "... Of One Of Many Worlds"! It's a co-release with Santa Fe, NM imprint Cloud Command Sound and features 10 tracks of indie synth pop rock perfection. "... Of One Of Many Worlds" is available on blue tint or dark pink cassette/digital as well as deluxe compact disc/digital and just plain digital-only via our WEB STORE and our BANDCAMP. It's wild, but this is our first official compact disc! The physical CD features the complete Acts I-V of "One Of Many Ends Of One Of Many Worlds" (you might recall the first Steady Circuits EP, "One Of Many Ends...", that immediately precedes this new album), so that’s pretty rad and a key reason it's classified as "deluxe", the other being the incredible bonus fold-out poster-sized insert. The cassette and CD are distributed by Recess Ops and they're also stocked by all the best independent record stores along Colorado's Front Range. The album can be found on all the standard digital/streaming sites as well. Grab this on whatever format your prefer, but make sure you do so immediately, OK? OK thanks!
Pressing Info: 50 blue tint cassette tapes / digital long player, 50 dark pink cassette tapes / digital long player, 50 deluxe compact discs (featuring the complete Acts I-V of "One Of Many Ends Of One Of Many Worlds") / digital long player. Co-release with Cloud Command Sound.

We at SLNHQ are thrilled to announce the addition of Denver CO’s Native Daughters to the family as well as the pending release of their new 12" single sider EP, “Ultimo Capo”. The extended player is set for release on July 16th and the band is playing a record release show in Denver on July 17th. The first track off the EP, 'War And Ghee' just went live on our bandcamp sampler. Give it some listens and you'll know what we know... Native Daughters have dialed in their instrumental post-metal to an even tighter level of sonic superiority. You can pre-order “Ultimo Capo” on vinyl 12" or digital from our WEB STORE or our BANDCAMP right now. There are multiple vinyl colors to choose from and all of them feature an incredible logo etched on the B side. Mega secret hint... vinyl pre-orders from our Web Store will get an immediate download of the full EP before the rest of humanity. Surprise and you're welcome! We've known the Native Daughters crew for over 20 years and their pedigree is just as impressive as their sound. Tune in, turn up and hold on tight! Thanks!
