Today is release day for the new State Drugs album, "Parade Of Red Flags"! The band put a lot of work into creating these songs and the effort pays off big time. On "Parade Of Red Flags", State Drugs showcase an expanded sonic palette, which they use to infuse 11 indie alt-rock punk inflected gems with a skillful balance of power, earnestness and melody. It's signature State Drugs on a whole new level. If you didn't secure a copy of the album during the pre-order period, you can grab the LP on randomly mixed eco color vinyl (with download) or digital-only long player from our WEB STORE, as well as our BANDCAMP, right now. The LP is distributed by our buds at Recess Ops and is available at several of the best record shops in the greater Denver Metro area. We also sent copies over to Green Noise Records, so that's yet another option to obtain this smash platter. If you're a streamer, we got you covered there too. The always excellent Ashtray Monument co-released this album and it's a treat to partner with them again to bring music fans more State Drugs. In closing, no matter how you listen to it, we think you'll agree that "Parade Of Red Flags" is absolutely worth celebrating!

Pressing Info: 210 12" LP's on randomly mixed eco color vinyl / digital long player. Co-release with Ashtray Monument. Released 11/17/23.

Grab an opaque pink or green tape, and/or CD, from our WEB STORE or from our BANDCAMP. All formats come with a digital download and we've also moved the digital-only long player to the fan-friendly pay-what-you-want pricing structure.

If you've been watching the streaming action, you've likely guessed that State Drugs has a brand new album on the way. Well, you're right! "Parade Of Red Flags" is set for release on November 17, 2023. After a split single (with SLN labelmates ZEPHR) and the "Explosions On The Radio" EP in 2022, State Drugs got right back to work and came up with yet another great batch of punk-influenced, 90's-inspired alternative indie rock that is definitely their catchiest yet. "Parade Of Red Flags" shows the band in a more collaborative state with a tighter focus on instrumentation. Those iconic vocals are still there of course, but now there are more backup vocals that really highlight the strong melodies on this latest album. You can pre-order the LP on randomly mixed eco color vinyl (with download) or plain digital-only from our WEB STORE, as well as our BANDCAMP, right now. You'll get an immediate download of three singles- 'Marathon To The Red Light', 'Yep' and 'Crash Entry', then the full LP on release day. 'Marathon To The Red Light' is currently our bandcamp sampler if you wanna check it out. We're joining forces once again with Ashtray Monument for this superb album. State Drugs vinyl is pretty popular, so if you're a fan of the band you know what to do!

Not too long ago in Salt Lake City, UT, there was a band called n0 Gun. Comprised of Eric Bliss (formerly of SLN alum Mako1972), Ben Dodd and Mike DiTullio, the band played a scorching style of post-hardcore. Their sound was informed by their natural chemistry as well as their past projects, which include Form of Rocket, I Am Electric, Lavinia, Cannons and Accidente. When n0 Gun ended their four-year run, they had just recorded a five song EP, with four of the songs missing vocals. As they began to think about how this labor of love could become complete, Roe v. Wade was struck down. To support a woman’s right to choose, the band decided to finish the recordings with various vocalists from across the US and turn it into a benefit release. The collection of songs became the “EP For Women’s Bodily Autonomy” and it’s out right now! You can obtain the digital-only EP via our WEB STORE or our BANDCAMP at the pay-what-you-want pricing structure, with all proceeds being donated to Planned Parenthood Of The Rocky Mountains. The “EP For Women’s Bodily Autonomy” features vocal contributions from Brooke Suffridge (of NC’s Alcantara), Matt Hall (of AL/TN’s New Brutalism), Peter Makowski (of UT’s Swarmer), Mike Guarrine (of IL’s Nude Model) and John “Chuck” Goshert (formerly of CA East Bay legends, Monsula), along with stunning cover art by Elena Gwyneth. The EP is also available on all streaming platforms, with any proceeds earned from streams also going to Planned Parenthood Of The Rocky Mountains. For more information on this project, please visit n0 Gun’s social media and bandcamp pages. This is truly a national effort. To all who can donate and/or contribute in other ways in support of women’s bodily autonomy and abortion access, we thank you!
