Topic: New Release Out Now!

Artist: SPELLS

Title: DEMO22

Catalog #: SLN-285

Format: Cassette / Digital

Hype: Today sees the release of an archival SPELLS recording, “DEMO22”. Just recently rediscovered, the recordings on "DEMO22" are a snapshot of SPELLS as a six-piece unit during the summer and fall of 2022. The band would continue on as a five-piece after that period and the five demo songs on the recording would find their way onto their 2024 album, "Past Our Prime". "DEMO22" is available on silver cassette tape and as a digital extended player in all the spots you find our releases, including streaming. The band had a great time putting this one together, thanks for following along!

Hype: After 25 years, the wait is over! Today is the official release day for the reissue of "The Black Power Of Romance", the final album from Pinhead Circus. It is available for the first time on vinyl, translucent yellow 12” LP to be specific. Both the vinyl and digital have been remastered. Links are below if you missed the pre-order, but act fast. This first pressing is nearly gone already. You can also try and grab a copy from our co-release partner Rad Girlfriend Records. TBD on if we'll have enough to stock Recess Ops, Green Noise and your fave Denver-area record shops with this pressing or if it will happen with a pending second pressing. For anyone that caught the Pinhead Circus reunions in Colorado this last week, you know how special this band continues to be. Judging by the first pressing being nearly gone, a lot of other folks out there know it too. Thanks much!

Title: Always Tired

Catalog #: SLN-281

Formats: Compact Disc / Digital

Release Date: 10/7/26

Hype: Howdy out there! We are quite pleased to announce that we have a new act signing on, Heavy Weather, from St. Louis, MO. That's right, the gateway to the west! On October 7 we will be releasing the band's new album, "Always Tired", on compact disc and digital. Heavy Weather is an evolution of an indie rock songwriting project from band leader Nick Bitikofer. He has been releasing music under the name Heavy Weather since 2012. Since 2019, Heavy Weather has had a consistent lineup in place (Bitikofer on vocals/guitar along with Greg Myers on drums and Brian Hilderbrand on bass/vocals) and has become a collaborative band versus a solo project. Pre-orders for "Always Tired" are live in all the usual spots. The lead single, ‘In The Dark’, is on our bandcamp sampler as well as streaming platforms. Crank it up for some of the catchiest indie rock you'll hear on this side of the Mississip'!
