Howdy internetters! We are pleased to announce another new addition to our stable of stars- Chicago, IL’s one-person wrecking crew, The Christmas Bride! There’s also a brand new album on the way, “Dark Romance Of A Midnight Wanderer”, that we’re releasing on cassette tape and digital long player on June 8. Lead single, ‘Christian Ska’, is out today on our bandcamp sampler, plus there's a rad video for the single floating around out there. You can pre-order “Dark Romance Of A Midnight Wanderer” on cassette (2 colors to choose from!) or digital from our WEB STORE or our BANDCAMP right now! So, who is behind The Christmas Bride? Well Bridezillas old and new, here’s the scoop… Davey Hart created The Christmas Bride many years ago to satiate his desire for power pop, new wave, and 70's British punk! Whether or not these vapid genre exercises were successful is for the listener to decide! Now is the time to experience a faster, louder Christmas Bride as inspiration was found in long forgotten Punk-O-Rama comps and an entry-level preoccupation with classic youth crew hardcore. Singing unexpectedly intelligent songs about food and spiritual stuff like getting over shyness, The Christmas Bride will nestle its way into the hearts of even the most jaded show-goers! Written and recorded over a span of about three years, "Dark Romance..." documents the many ups and downs of Davey exploring his songwriting as a solo artist without a dedicated band.Eventually the album became a collaboration with friends Pasha Pear (The Crustations), Phil Sudderberg (Spirits Having Fun), and Angel Marcloid (Fire-Toolz, Nonlocal Forecast) rotating to fill the drum throne and bring their own energy to Davey’s songs. Additionally, Bret Koontz (Cool Memories, Truancy Club) sang back-up vocals 'cause he's a great singer and there shouldn’t be too many Daveys harmonizing with themselves. All of these contributions created a more mature, complex Christmas Bride record than classic bridezillas are familiar with. A Bride stripped of crude artifice. A Bride of both shadow and light. A Bride who croons about shredded wheat as if it were a tender-hearted yet darkly erotic lover. A Bride who wanders the unseen hills of mind, seeking the next clever wonder. A Bride who isn't afraid to traverse the land of dreams and make-believe. A true Christmas Bride.

The additions to SLN keep on coming and we couldn’t be happier! Please welcome Denver, CO’s premier metal cover duo, ZZ Top Ramen. Remember all those older songs you like, but now you're into metal? ZZ Top Ramen has got you. Denver scene stalwarts Ben Pitts (To Be Eaten, The New Rome, False Cathedrals) and Brian Polk (Gravity Index, Joy Subtraction, Simulators) perform and record shredding covers of songs from non-shredding genres. Yep, it's pretty awesome. Today the duo has surprise-dropped two new digital extended players, “Cowboy Cinema” and “90’s Rock”, respectively. You can preview a track, ‘Bad Scene Everyone's Fault (Jawbreaker)’, on our bandcamp sampler to get a feel for what ZZ Top Ramen does. You’re gonna dig it! Both “Cowboy Cinema” and “90’s Rock” can be found in our Web Store (Cowboy HERE / 90's HERE) and on our Bandcamp (Cowboy HERE / 90's HERE) at pay-what-you-want pricing. What a deal! The EP’s are also on all the streaming platforms, so there are tons of ways to listen to the coolest covers around. Go ahead and rediscover some classic tunes with new twists!
