V/A - Dangerous Intersections VI 7"

Cover art by Ryan Agate.
First press: 333 black, 180 barbicide, 60 UK yellow, 5 smokestain.
1. My Friends?
The Manix
2.
Red Truck
The Humanoids
3. Pride by the Barrel
The Taxpayers
4. The Lights
The sixth installment in the series! From Colorado comes No High Fives to Bullshit with some of the sludgiest, heaviest, most fucked up pop punk ever. The Manix play catchy, fast-as-hell punk rock from MPLS in the spirit of Rivethead. Outta St. Louis, The Humanoids write smart, slick pop punk that'll appeal equally to fans in the Ramonescore, East Bay, and Gainesville camps. Last, Portland, Oregon's The Taxpayers offer up a 4-minute epic motherfucker of a song that should sit pretty well with fans of The Sidekicks and anybody that thought "The Disco Before The Breakdown" was a step forward, rather than the beginning of the end.
"UK yellow" colored vinyl available exclusively from Different Kitchen.
Available digitally through iTunes and other download stores.
New Creases - About Last Night... 7"
Released: February 22, 2010.
Cover art by Troy Allen.
First press: 338 black, 162 white, 90 clear.
Split released w/ No Breaks Records.
2. French Perfume
3. Northeast Pull
4. Drive Away
About Last Night... is New Creases' first new material since their s/t CDEP last year. Four new anthems about being stuck in cities and patterns, for better or worse, and just trying to figure out which one of those applies on a given day. If you're a fan of The Measure (SA), Rumspringer, or Through Being Cool-era Saves the Day, do yourself a favor and pick up this record. (And don't forget to hit the distro for a copy of their split 7" with It Good)!

8. We Don't Buy Nothing (We Buy Everything)
9. Barefeet
10. Sinking Century
11. Space Babies
12. Coke Mule Blues
The long overdue vinyl release of one of my favorite records. The Brokedowns take all of the best elements of punk and hardcore to create some of the smartest, most creative, catchy, energetic anthems you could ever hope to hear. I'm not generally excited about the idea of "reissues," but this record is one giant exception. Recommended for fans of Dillinger Four, Off With Their Heads, and Witches With Dicks.

It's always a bummer when you're out on tour and a show that you thought you had ends up falling through. It's less of a bummer though when a friend somehow gets you a live radio show within an hour of pulling into town. This was recorded in Lexington on August 3rd, 2008.

REVIEWS
"By far the best APOCALYPSE MEOW shit so far. Stand-out of the three is 'Same Sad Song', which addresses that depressed, boring friend who won't shut up about the girl who broke their heart. It's spot-on and I can't get over how simply written yet devastatingly effective these songs are. It's like the three chords everyone starts off with, but with none of the over-written fiddles that can ruin a good song. RATIONAL ANTHEM remind me of COWBOY DYNAMITE and RUMSPRINGER a bit, melodic energetic songs with loads going on, dual vocals and awesome songwriting. I just can't get enough of bands who play this kind of thing, and RATIONAL ANTHEM do it so well. It's raw and powerful, there's no 'production' making these songs great, it's all natural." - Jerk Store

REVIEWS
"I'll pretty much pick up anything with AJJ on it, but the fact that APOCALYPSE MEOW are the other band makes it an essential purchase. APOCALYPSE MEOW would be awesome in their own right, but I guess what makes them more 'interesting' for people is that Justin from OFF WITH THEIR HEADS has stepped out fro behind the kit to sing and play guitar. His voice is clean and gruff-less, and it sounds kinda like OWTH with the gain turned down. These songs are catchy like you wouldn't believe, with great lyrics and unpolished charm that makes for a LOT of reaching over to the record player. ANDREW JACKSON JIHAD have one new song, and an early version of 'Growing Up'. They're both great tunes but the AM stuff is why you really should buy this." - Jerk Store
