Today is another lovely release day for those hardcore dorks called SPELLS... "Loose Change, Vol. 2" is out now on both vinyl and digital formats! Loyal followers will recall that “LCV2” is the second collection album from SPELLS that contains material that has gone out of print or was only released digitally. Many of the expertly remastered tunes on "Loose Change, Vol. 2" are gracing vinyl for the very first time. “LCV2” is available as a 12” LP on either "Dolphin" crystal clear/solid blue vinyl or "Dracula" transparent red/black vinyl. Both colors come with a free digital download of course. The album can also be obtained on the standalone digital long player format. No matter what your format preference is, the album can be found in our WEBSTORE and on our BANDCAMP. ICYMI, this latest SPELLS platter is a co-release with several other fantastic labels in addition to SLN: Motorcycle Potluck Records (USA), Big Neck Records (USA), Keep It A Secret Records (Germany) and Shield Recordings (The Netherlands). Naturally, this record is distributed by our pals at Recess Ops and will soon be found at a variety of ace record shops in the greater Denver Metro area. SPELLS is playing a few record release parties across Colorado’s front range July 14-16, so go follow the band for more details on all that as year 10 of SPELLS (Rules!) continues to unfold!

Salutations music lovers! We've added a brand new member to the SLN family tree- Sarah Shannon! If Sarah seems familiar, here's where you may know her from... She was the lead singer of legendary 90's Washington, DC indie rock band, Velocity Girl. Sarah then sang in the short-lived band Starry Eyes that also featured her Velocity Girl bandmate and future Foxhall Stacks (SLN alumni!) guitarist, Jim Spellman. A solo career followed in the 00's that included a relocation to Seattle, WA. After that, Sarah co-founded the popular kindie rock band, The Not-Its! that are still active. That brings us to right now. This is not the usual addition to the SLN lineup, as Sarah joins us with a record that has been 25 years in the making- the "Demo 98" EP. Sarah Shannon’s “Demo 98” EP contains previously unreleased recording sessions that occurred shortly after the breakup of Velocity Girl. Recorded at WGNS Studios in 1998, the recordings also feature Geoff Turner (Gray Matter, Three) and Adam Wade (Jawbox, Shudder To Think). The songs reflected on Velocity Girl while at the same time looked forward to a hopeful future. As is often the case, life has a way of intervening and the tapes got buried on a shelf for 20+ years. Geoff rediscovered them not too long ago and all three players were thrilled at how good they still sounded. They decided the songs should finally see the light of day and now here we are with a proper release, 25 years later. Pre-orders for "Demo 98" are up right now in our WEBSTORE as well as on our BANDCAMP. You can choose between a 12" EP on classic black vinyl (with download) or go for the digital-only extended player. The lead single, 'Wheel In A Wheel', will come as an immediate download with any pre-orders of the EP. 'Wheel In A Wheel' was just premiered over at ace music blog, A Pessimist Is Never Disappointed, along with an early review of "Demo 98". You can also head over to our bandcamp sampler to have a listen to the single. We’re releasing "Demo 98" with Minty Fresh Records, who previously worked with Sarah on one of her solo albums. We are thrilled to have Sarah Shannon, along with Adam Wade and Geoff Turner, join the SLN roster. We never would have thought in a million years, let alone 25, that we'd get to be a part of a record like "Demo 98"!

Hello out there! We're excited to share that we have a fresh addition to our stellar roster- The Ape-ettes! Emerging from the depths of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, The Ape-ettes are a garage-pop trio comprised of long-time friends: Andrée on bass, Melanie on drums and Julie on guitar and vocals. These girls have the gift of pumping out infectious tunes with their spirited less-is-more approach. The Ape-ettes will be releasing a brand new 7"/Digital Extended Player entitled "Simply" on July 13. The cover art reads as "Simply The Ape-ettes", but there's nothing too simple about how hard the 4 tracks rip. Pre-orders are up right now in our WEBSTORE as well as on our BANDCAMP. You can choose between clear w/ red & blue splatter vinyl or sky blue vinyl! We’re excited to be releasing this in conjunction with Reta Records, a one-woman DIY record label based out of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It's the first of what we hope to be many collabs with the ace imprint. Check out our bandcamp sampler to listen to the lead single from "Simply", 'Hearing Protection'. The track will also come as an immediate download with any pre-orders of the soon-to-be smash hit 7" from The Ape-ettes. We're happy to have even more friends up north to share rock 'n' roll good times with!
