Howdy gang! "Past Our Prime", the 3rd studio album from Denver, CO rock 'n roll juggernaut, SPELLS, is on it's way and will be released on April 11, 2024. “POP” will be available as a 12” vinyl LP on snowy white vinyl and blade bullet vinyl (with download), as well as a standalone digital long player. “Past Our Prime" is up for pre-order in our WEBSTORE and on our BANDCAMP. There are 80 limited edition copies of the LP that come with a bonus hand numbered alternate cover art print, so hop on that if you're so inclined. You'll get the lead digital single 'The Sound Remains' at time of purchase, plus the song is also on our bandcamp sampler. Our friends at Scene Point Blank are also premiering the single today for maximum previewage! 'The Sound Remains' is a slice of garage-influenced punk rock that also hints at the more dynamic and boisterous sound that permeates this latest SPELLS catalog entry. "POP" is trademark SPELLS with a balanced amount of evolution that keeps things fresh and fun. We are pleased as punch to share this release with several of our longtime label buddies including Big Neck Records (USA), Rad Girlfriend Records (USA), Keep It A Secret Records (Germany) and Shield Recordings (The Netherlands). SPELLS will be playing a record release party on April 13 at the world famous Hi-Dive in Denver, so if you're anywhere near there be sure to get out and hang out with SPELLS and friends!

Pink Hawks have launched 2024 with a double knockout! Up first is "Elote", released today as a 12" 45rpm extended player on randomly mixed color vinyl as well as a compact disc extended player and digital extended player. The 12" is housed in a bold color jacket with a beautiful full color printed inner sleeve. The CD is similarly packaged in a fold-out wallet. Free digital downloads come with either physical format of "Elote". You can order all versions from our WEB STORE or from our BANDCAMP. The song 'Airdancer' is getting the video treatment, so be sure to follow Pink Hawks to check that out! Up next, today sees the official re-release the band's 2017 album "Boo".

Pink Hawks are leading the charge into 2024! Denver's premier xicanxbeat band (afrobeat, jazz, hip-hop, cumbia, rock) is set to release their newest EP, "Elote", on January 11. After a string of digital singles spaced out over the last two years, those same burners along with a brand new track, will make a long overdue appearance on vinyl. Pink Hawks' "Elote" will be a 12" 45rpm extended player as well as a compact disc extended player and digital-only extended player. The 12" has been pressed onto randomly mixed color vinyl, housed in a color jacket with a full color printed inner sleeve. The CD is similarly presented in a fold-out wallet. Both physical formats come with downloads. You can pre-order all formats from our WEB STORE or from our BANDCAMP. The lead single, 'Airdancer', is previously unreleased and is currently our bandcamp sampler. As an added bonus, all pre-orders will get immediate downloads of the entire EP! With "Elote", Pink Hawks have once again crafted energetic and entertaining grooves with healthy doses of social commentary. Celebrate the EP release and 'Airdancer' video premiere with the band at The O in Denver on January 13! But wait, there's more! Originally self-released by the band in 2017, SLN is officially re-releasing the Pink Hawks album "Boo" on 12" LP, compact disc and digital on the same date as "Elote". All those formats are similarly available from our WEB STORE or from our BANDCAMP. All pre-orders of "Boo" will get immediate downloads of the entire LP and watch for "Boo" to finally be available on all streaming services next month. Double your Pink Hawks in the New Year y'all!

Our bud Steven Lee Lawson is back with a brand new digital single! "Mist Between The Stops" is his first new material since 2021's excellent self-titled album. Steven relocated from Salida, CO back to Denver, CO earlier this year and promptly got to work on building a studio in his basement. Armed with a grip of new tunes, he enlisted some friends to be the rhythm section (dubbed The Archers, with whom he performs live as Steven Lee Lawson + The Archers, naturally) and rolled the tape. "Mist Between The Stops" is another masterful melding of indie rock and Americana, with a bit of that late 60's folk-gone-electrified punch. You can obtain the digital single from our WEB STORE or from our BANDCAMP. The single can also be found on all the usual digital/streaming sites. Steven Lee Lawson, along with The Archers, are still rolling that tape and will have a new EP out in spring of 2024. We can all look forward to that!

Hey gang! You may recall the somewhat elusive act Gray Vines released the "Young Hearts" EP back in February of this year. It's been available digitally and was initially released physically as a single sided stereo lathe cut 12" on clear vinyl with hand stamped & numbered jackets featuring adapted cover art. Those sold out nearly immediately. We're pleased to say that Gray Vines' "Young Hearts" is now available on compact disc with the original full color cover art! You can obtain the new CD format (with download) or the existing digital extended player (pay-what-you-want) from our WEBSTORE or from our BANDCAMP. Not too much is known about Denver's Gray Vines aside from the fact that this project is a duo featuring Ben Roy and Chuck Coffey of the band SPELLS. The two have been playing shows again as Charlie & The Shithead and have added in some songs from several of their projects, including Gray Vines. We all figured it would be nice to have "Young Hearts" back in print physically because of that, so here we are! Thanks for following along, friends and fans!
