Chicago’s Seventh Rule Records has gotten a couple of new vinyl releases posted to the Blue Collar Distro. First up is a new 12-inch from Sweet Cobra featuring 3 new songs and an etching on the b-side. These guys are currently on tour with Pelican, Minsk and Black Cobra so that should give you an [...]

What is it about New Orleans and sludgy, crusty metal tunes that seems to go hand in hand? Ya’ll should be no stranger to this group, as they paved the way for many of our current favorite acts. The Confederacy of Ruined Lives album is finally getting a proper vinyl release complete with impressive packaging [...]

I received this sleek looking little 7″ on my doorstep the other day, and I have to say, having heard of none of the music in advance, I am very impressed with it.  This little slab features four different artists:  Bomarr, Copy, Meanest Man Contest, and Roman Ruins.  The music ranges from modern, hip electronica [...]

All rejoice, there’s a new Built To Spill record coming out!!  Seriously though, there aren’t many indie rock bands that are still doing things as well as BTS are, the band is just great.  I have not heard this record yet, but I can’t think of a single reason to doubt it’s quality, can you?  [...]

Just got sent this really rad article by it’s author, thanks so much for that!  Noisecreep’s feature on “Vinyl In The Digital Age” features brief interviews with members of bands like Isis, Pelican, Coalesce, Boris, etc about vinyl’s importance.  Check it out at Noisecreep.com.

One Little Indian has just posted the pre-order for this reissued edition of Takk by Sigur Rós. The reissue conforms exactly to the same high packaging specifications as the original pressing on EMI (oversized thick cardboard jacket with 10″ pocket, printed inner sleeves) but the vinyl is remastered with Direct Metal Mastering and pressed onto [...]

10 LPs. 8 CDs. One 7 seven-inch. A 32-page book. Been awhile since we heard anything from the Robotic Empire and now we know why. I cannot even fathom the amount of love and attention that went into crafting this insane boxset for the now defunct band Floor. It just boggles the mind. In case [...]

Warned you in the post title, didn’t I? Don’t worry, this isn’t anything your parents haven’t seen before – just maybe not with those creepy faces pasted on. Well it is something they haven’t heard before, as those creepy faces belong to our friend Jason Urick, who has just released his newest vinyl-only album for [...]

Thrill Jockey has a few copies of White Hills’ new 12″ record available.  This was originally offered in their subscription package, but they saved a few out to sell as individuals.  This has some pretty experimental material on it, but c’mon, you know we’re gonna like this, this White Hills band is pretty much a [...]

Man, Woodsist is just constantly bringing the goods.  Both of their newest records are sounding pretttty great, but the one I can personally stand behind is the new album from The Fresh & Onlys, “Grey-Eyed Girls”.  The band plays awesome psychedelic garage.  In other words, if you like Thee Oh Sees, The Strange Boys, or [...]
