Please join us in celebrating the release of “Sickness Sorcery Marriage And Death”, the excellent new digital extended player by Chap! Following up 2020’s “Free TV” EP, “Sickness Sorcery Marriage And Death” is the first full-band recording of what was initially a solo project of longtime Colorado musician Tom Chagolla. Tom is now joined by his Native Daughters bandmate Colin Madden on the drums, as well as despAIR jordan’s Danny Aranow on lead guitar (bassist Chip Dziedzic recently departed, but a new thumper is incoming shortly). This latest EP is more than a natural progression from where the band started, it’s a statement piece on the power of collaboration. Chap is greater than the sum of it’s parts and “Sickness Sorcery Marriage And Death” is just the beginning of what the band is capable of doing collectively. You can obtain the digital-only EP via our WEB STORE or our BANDCAMP at the fan friendly pay-what-you-want pricing structure. It’s also available on all the streamables. Stay tuned for more live shows from Chap as they celebrate this fantastic new EP!

J. Waylon Porcupine has been at the helm of Rapid City, SD garage rock super unit Friends Of Cesar Romero for over 10 years. He’d call it carport rock and that’s just as apt. It’s been almost 10 years since legendary Denver, CO garage rock powerhouse The Manxx, led by Sara Belle, have been active. What better way to enjoy the two bands than with one brand new collaborative EP?! The digital extended player, officially dubbed “Friends Of Cesar Romero & The Manxx”, has been awhile in the making. Both fans of each other’s work, J. Waylon and Sara wound up trading some unfinished songs, including a track started by the final lineup of The Manxx prior to their breakup. Magic ensued and 3 fresh rockers (including a cover of The Drags!) emerged. You can grab the digital-only EP via our WEBSTORE or our BANDCAMP at pay-what-you-want pricing. It’s also on all the streamies out there. FOCR is still active and if you’ve been following the Doomed Babe Series, you already know that J. Waylon and company remain incredibly prolific. Sara’s current rock output is with the excellent Tuff Bluff, who are no strangers to SLN themselves. So, go listen to the double radness that is Friends Of Cesar Romero & The Manxx!

We are pleased to welcome Guest Directors from Seattle, WA to the SLN roster! Featuring former members of TAD and Chinchilla, Seattle’s Guest Directors reflect a multitude of emotional and musical pathways through reverb-drenched Jazzmasters that spit out post-shoegaze rock, dream pop, power pop and noise. On their forthcoming LP, “Interference Patterns”, the songs spiral one after another - sometimes powerful and sometimes delicate. They can sound like snowflakes and hail storms, sometimes in the same song. You can pre-order “Interference Patterns" in our WEB STORE and on our BANDCAMP as a classic black vinyl LP (with a cool obi strip on the jacket, plus a free download), a compact disc (free DL too) or a digital long player. You’ll get lead single, ‘From This Distance’, immediately and you can also check that tune out via our bandcamp sampler right now. “Interference Patterns” is being released in conjunction with Seattle’s Topsy Records, which is run by Guest Directors band leader (and bassist of The Drolls) Julie D. It’s another family affair at SLN and we’re pretty dang happy about that! We think our listeners will be too.

We are thrilled to say that "Demo 98" by indie rock royalty, Sarah Shannon, is officially out in the world! You’ve likely heard the story of “Demo 98”, but here’s a refresher… Sarah Shannon was just about one year removed from 90's Washington, DC indie rock band, Velocity Girl, in 1998. She had a handful of tunes she wanted to work out to get started on a solo career. She went into WGNS Studios after enlisting the help of two of her friends- Geoff Turner (Gray Matter, Three) and Adam Wade (Jawbox, Shudder To Think). Geoff would serve as engineer, guitarist and bassist while Adam steered the boat from behind the drum kit. After the recording session wrapped, it wouldn’t be long before Sarah relocated to Seattle, WA. The tapes got buried on a shelf for 20+ years until Geoff rediscovered them. The trio was pleasantly surprised at how good the songs still sounded. Now, 25 years later, “Demo 98” has received a proper release. "Demo 98" is available as a 12" EP on classic black vinyl (with download) and as a digital-only extended player. All formats can be procured from our WEBSTORE and our BANDCAMP. We’ve released "Demo 98" in conjunction with Minty Fresh Records, who previously worked with Sarah on some of her solo albums. They’re handling primary distribution, but rest assured you’ll still see some copies in some of the usual places where other SLN titles can be found. We cannot understate how incredibly cool it is to be a small part of this record and it’s story! Don’t sleep on this one gang, it’s proving to already be quite the popular disc. Thanks to so many folks out there for pushing this one to the top of the would-be charts!

Pressing Info: 300 12" EP's on classic black vinyl / digital extended player. Co-release with Minty Fresh Records. Released 7/28/23.
