We are excited to announce that Portland, OR's Sunday State has joined the SLN roster! Sunday State began with Michael Carothers and Kurt Foster, two long-time musicians in the band-breeding ground of the Pacific Northwest who had known each other for 20 years. With nothing more than a casual, "Hey, wanna write a few songs together?" they began digging into instrumental demos Carothers had created. From the moment the two collaborated it was obvious the material taking shape had a particular voice worth exploring further. Recruiting Jeremy Dietz (Mission Spotlight) on bass, Thom Sullivan (The Pynnacles) on drums, and Steve Turner (Mudhoney/Green River) with his signature harmonic fuzz, the band developed a post-punk, campfire sing-a-long sound complete with cinematic landscapes tethered to jangle riffs rooted in their shared influences. Sunday State's brand new Self-Titled album will be released digitally on 4/2/21 in collaboration with No Night Travel Recordings. Pre-orders for the digital long player are up in our Web Store as well as our Bandcamp, plus you can catch the new single, 'Take You Over' on our bandcamp sampler. Thanks for welcoming Sunday State to the SLN stable of stars, keen listeners!
We are pleased to announce that Englewood CO's Nuevo Leon has officially joined the SLN roster! For those in the know, Nuevo Leon is the solo moniker of Trevor McMorris, a person that is no stranger to SLN. Nuevo Leon is a place where Trevor McMorris sticks “other” songs. Over the years he’s written tunes for/with Bailer, Big Timber and Hooper, but he’s always needed another place to put the things that haven’t quite fit within the guidelines of a current project. As a multi-instrumentalist, the Nuevo Leon handle has become synonymous with the whimsy of a studio rat, a band geek, and a folk strummer who’s a lifelong devotee of punk rock. McMorris has Brian Wilson’s fascination with texture and arrangement, tempered by a Neil Young or Robert Pollard sense of loose creative abandon. Nuevo Leon is where the non-classifiable of McMorris’ creative output culminates into a worthy endeavor all its own. Nuevo Leon's debut album, "Rust Colored Light", will be released digitally on 4/2/21. You can catch the first single, 'New Kind Of Noise' on our bandcamp sampler. You can preview more details on "Rust Colored Light" in our Web Store and on our Bandcamp. Thanks for welcoming Nuevo Leon to the SLN family with open ears, friends and fans!

The new album from State Drugs, "Live. Laugh. Love.", is out now! That's a fantastic piece of Valentine's Day sweetness if you ask us! State Drugs have finely honed their brand of warm and upbeat punk rock that includes the best elements of indie rock and power pop. This latest album is definitive proof of that. The LP spins at 45 RPM and comes on randomly mixed color vinyl with a digital download included. You can grab an LP copy or digital-only copy from our WEB STORE or from our BANDCAMP. "Live. Laugh. Love." can also be found on all the usual digital/streaming sites starting tomorrow (2/15/21). The LP is distributed by Recess Op and is carried by all the finest independent record stores along Colorado's Front Range. There might be a few copies of the super-limited "Sweet Kitty" hand numbered custom sleeve print edition LP's over at Green Noise Records, so hop over there if you missed out on it from us during pre-ordering. The ultra-limited "Sweetheart" version might still be found at Limited To One Record Shop. Much gratitude to our friends at Ashtray Monument for co-releasing "Live. Laugh. Love." with us. This is our first vinyl release of 2021 and we're stoked share even more new stuff with y'all later this year. Thanks for following along!
