SLN-212 Is A Sunday Morning Kinda Party!

You know, like it’s 1:00am Sunday morning but really it’s still Saturday night? That’s the kinda party we’re talking about here and the soundtrack is the brand new self-titled Sunday State album! Post-punk campfire songs have never sounded so sweet. This album scratches those itches for the timeless sound of vintage Laurel Canyon as well as the immediacy and impact of 90’s alt-rock. You can grab the digital long player from our Web Store or from our Bandcamp (today is bandcamp Friday too!). You can also find this fantastic album on all the standard digital/streaming sites. But wait, there’s more! This long player will be seeing a pressing on the proper format for long players- 12” vinyl. More info on that later. Until then, enjoy the tunes in 21st century style.

Love, The Staff

SLN-211 Shows A New Lion Roaring!

A lion can be loud and fierce, but also subtle and cunning. Those happen to be apt descriptions of the brand new digital long player from Nuevo Leon, “Rust Colored Light”, that’s out now! Trevor McMorris plays one-man-band and takes the listener on a tour of all of his musical influences that span decades, all while having a consistent sound and style that reminds us that they are indeed Trevor’s own songs. That’s a rare feat for any musician and as listeners we’re all rewarded with the quality of work that Trevor put into “Rust Colored Light”. You can snag the digital long player from our Web Store or from our Bandcamp (today is bandcamp Friday too!). You can also find this excellent album on all the standard digital/streaming sites. Nuevo Leon, this new lion, is already finding its way in the world. Imagine the stories that will come as its experiences continue to grow.

Signal To Trust's Original Debut Album, Released For The First Time!

Signal To Trust began with Jonathon Warnberg, Pete Biasi and Dave Storberg a few months after the breakup of The Misfires, the instrumentalists’ prior band, at the turn of the century in Minneapolis, MN. They were joined on vocals by Brandon Onward (Rouse) and played their first show on April 1, 2000. In September of 2000, they recorded 11 songs with Mike Wisti at Albatross in Chicago, IL and left for a West coast tour that October. By spring 2001, Brandon had left the band and the recordings were shelved. Signal To Trust’s would-be debut album, originally slated for April 2001, will finally be released for the first time ever on 4/16/21 as the "Albatross Sessions". What’s 20 years when the material is this good?!?! You can pre-order the cassette and/or digital long player from our Web Store or from our Bandcamp. Lead single 'I Don't Want To Be A Waist' is also on our bandcamp sampler. Although Signal To Trust would go on to achieve much with different lineups for many years following that first change, the original quartet made a lasting impression. Now a world of keen ears can hear why. This is important history for SLN, as now Signal To Trust is part of the talent roster after 20+ years of friendship with the band members (who would go on to Falcon Crest and SLN stars Low Forms, among other acts) as well as the folks at the partner labels for this release- Modern Radio Record Label (Minneapolis, MN) and This Ain't Heaven Recording Concern (Wichita, KS). How cool is that?!?!

Welcome Announcement 3/19/21 A1- Sunday State Joins The Roster!

We are excited to announce that Portland, OR's Sunday State has joined the SLN roster! Sunday State began with Michael Carothers and Kurt Foster, two long-time musicians in the band-breeding ground of the Pacific Northwest who had known each other for 20 years. With nothing more than a casual, "Hey, wanna write a few songs together?" they began digging into instrumental demos Carothers had created. From the moment the two collaborated it was obvious the material taking shape had a particular voice worth exploring further. Recruiting Jeremy Dietz (Mission Spotlight) on bass, Thom Sullivan (The Pynnacles) on drums, and Steve Turner (Mudhoney/Green River) with his signature harmonic fuzz, the band developed a post-punk, campfire sing-a-long sound complete with cinematic landscapes tethered to jangle riffs rooted in their shared influences. Sunday State's brand new Self-Titled album will be released digitally on 4/2/21 in collaboration with No Night Travel Recordings. Pre-orders for the digital long player are up in our Web Store as well as our Bandcamp, plus you can catch the new single, 'Take You Over' on our bandcamp sampler. Thanks for welcoming Sunday State to the SLN stable of stars, keen listeners!

Welcome Announcement 3/19/21 1A- Nuevo Leon Joins The Roster!

We are pleased to announce that Englewood CO's Nuevo Leon has officially joined the SLN roster! For those in the know, Nuevo Leon is the solo moniker of Trevor McMorris, a person that is no stranger to SLN. Nuevo Leon is a place where Trevor McMorris sticks “other” songs. Over the years he’s written tunes for/with Bailer, Big Timber and Hooper, but he’s always needed another place to put the things that haven’t quite fit within the guidelines of a current project. As a multi-instrumentalist, the Nuevo Leon handle has become synonymous with the whimsy of a studio rat, a band geek, and a folk strummer who’s a lifelong devotee of punk rock. McMorris has Brian Wilson’s fascination with texture and arrangement, tempered by a Neil Young or Robert Pollard sense of loose creative abandon. Nuevo Leon is where the non-classifiable of McMorris’ creative output culminates into a worthy endeavor all its own. Nuevo Leon's debut album, "Rust Colored Light", will be released digitally on 4/2/21. You can catch the first single, 'New Kind Of Noise' on our bandcamp sampler. You can preview more details on "Rust Colored Light" in our Web Store and on our Bandcamp. Thanks for welcoming Nuevo Leon to the SLN family with open ears, friends and fans!
