Everyone's favorite Pacific Northwest pop-punk power trio, The Drolls, are about to unleash a brand new 7" single! Get this... it's the first in a brand new series. "Novelty Rock Monthly Singles Club, Vol. One" will be released on May 19, 2023 on the aforementioned 7" vinyl format, as well as digitally everywhere. The NRMSC features original songs by The Drolls written in the styles of classic songs by their favorite artists. Vol. One is an homage to the MC5 with 'Kick Out The Jammies' and Guided By Voices with 'I Am A Data Scientist'. The pre-order for this momentous piece of rock history is underway, so you can secure your physical and/or digital copy via our WEB STORE and our BANDCAMP. 'Kick Out The Jammies' is streaming on our bandcamp sampler and will also come as an immediate download with pre-orders of either format. The 7" is on yummy Café Au Lait colored vinyl, nestled inside a custom fold-over sleeve. The first 50 copies of the vinyl include an exclusive bonus custom band 7" Adapter (aka 45 Spacer), so hop on it before it's too late! One more note about the Novelty Rock Monthly Singles Club... band energy, creative output and vinyl supply chain issues may impact the ability to release a single every month, or even ever again. Do not sleep on this one gang!

The time has arrived. Today, Bud Bronson & the Good Timers officially release "BBGT III", a long player made up of two epic EP's: "Return Of The Black Flamingo Band" and "Manifest Fantasy", respectively. The "BBGT III" LP is available on 12” purple swirl vinyl and come with a free download. Both the vinyl and/or digital can be obtained from our WEB STORE and our BANDCAMP. It's also available via Recess Ops, of course. We teamed up with our good buds Motorcycle Potluck Records to bring you this modern classic by the legendary Bud Bronson & The Good Timers. "BBGT III" is packed so densely full of hot riffs it needed two labels to safely ignite lift off! As a reminder, BBGT is having a big party at Denver's Hi-Dive tomorrow (April 21) to celebrate. It will also be the final transmission from the USS-BBGT for a long while (forever?!), so it's imperative that the fans get out for it! Thanks for following along with all of the happenings at SLNHQ this spring. More to come in the near future!

Pressing Info: 100 12" LP's on purple swirl color vinyl / digital long player. Co-release with Motorcycle Potluck Records. Released 4/20/23.

Greetings! We like to stay busy here at SLNHQ and one of the best ways to do that is to keep on workin' with the almighty SPELLS. The Denver, CO vacation rockers recorded a slew of new jams recently for their next album. From those sessions, they selected two choice cuts to get into your earholes as soon as possible. "What The Hell Is Caution + Some Would Say" will be released as a clear 7" Flexi Disc and Digital Single on May 11, 2023! These two songs were mixed for the single treatment and showcase where the sound of SPELLS is at as they cruise along year 10 as a band. Guess what?! They're still pretty good! "What The Hell Is Caution + Some Would Say" is available for pre-order right now from our WEB STORE or our BANDCAMP. You'll get 'What The Hell Is Caution' as an immediate download after checkout and it also happens to be featured on our trusty bandcamp sampler. For all the collector-types out there, the flexi disc has 5 different cover variations with each one representing a member of SPELLS. There are 50 of each cover and they will be selected at random when orders are filled. If you choose to buy multiple copies, you will get different cover variants for each of them (up to a full set of all 5). SPELLS has a series of shows along Colorado's front range May 11-13 with Jon Snodgrass & Buddies, so there will be 3 chances to celebrate the release of the flexi disc in a live performance setting. Follow the band on the worldwide webbernet for more details on all the shows. SPELLS is having a busy year! Stay tuned for even more fun SPELLS plans as the year unfolds.

The Replica City 7” flexi disc single, “Last Rites”, is out now! ‘Last Rites’, the song, is etched into a translucent blue 7" square and comes with a download that features 2 bonus tracks, as does the digital-only version of the single. If you missed out on the pre-order, grab Replica City’s “Last Rites” from our WEB STORE or our BANDCAMP. Replica City excels at angular post-punk with tunefully oblique melodies and this initial release is just a glimpse at what’s to come from the terrific threesome. Recess Ops is handling distribution and all the best Denver Metro record shops will it in stock. “Last Rites” is a co-release with a newer Denver imprint, Power Goth Recordings. We’re excited to share this precision piece of music with them!

Pressing Info: 250 translucent blue square 7" flexi discs / digital single. Co-release with Power Goth Recordings. Released 4/14/23.

Hey hey all! Just wanted to let folks know that the first vinyl pressing of the "Stimulants & Sedatives" LP by SPELLS is sold out through us and the band. No need to worry though! A second pressing of the album on randomly mixed eco color vinyl is now available. If you don't have a copy of the 12" LP yet, or if you're a completist, one can be obtained from our WEB STORE or from our BANDCAMP. They're also over at the SPELLS bandcamp as well. This pressing run is 200 copies and a download of the album is still included. Rad Girlfriend Records (our co-release partners on this sick slab) might have a couple 1st press copies hiding on a shelf, but they'll have pressing #2 before too long. SPELLS has a slew of Colorado shows and a May tour coming up, so get on out and see the band rip it up live. They'll have "Stimulants & Sedatives" at their merchandise table along with a bunch of other great records and fun items!
