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'!

Artist: Charlie Continental

Title: Snow & Rain b/w Untethered

Catalog #: SLN-280

Format: 7" / Digital

Hype: Charlie Continental has just released a new 7" single, “Snow & Rain b/w Untethered”. The two songs are about love, loss, grief and uncertainty. Charlie lost his wife Febra in 2024 and these songs are about that journey from then to now. An old bandmate of his once said he writes the catchiest sad songs. Sometimes sadness leads to creativity and catharsis. Some listeners may hear them as pop songs, but other listeners may find comfort in them to help with their own difficult paths. If so, that’s a bonus that Chuck and Feb are glad to offer. The “Snow & Rain b/w Untethered” 7" is available in two different sleeve variations and is also available digitally. This is a personal one folks, we all appreciate your support!
