Does what it says on the tin. Insound has tons of records, you have lots of empty shelf space. If you don’t, then you need to buy some new shelves and place an order at Insound where the entire store is 15% off for an entire week using coupon code “swjune15″ – insound.com.

I know we’re a bit behind on this record, but it surely deserves a writeup.  I first stumbled across this band because the guitar player/co-frontman is my good friend (and art superstar) Daniel Danger, but I ended up being really impressed with it on its own merits.  You don’t hear a lot of rich, powerful [...]

It’s weird how this music thing works in cycles, it seems almost every band I used to listen to in high school is back in action (I’m looking at you Man or Astroman? and Sunny Day Real Estate).  You can now add The Get Up Kids to that list, as they are about to release [...]

It’s been almost three years since the last Circa Survive album, and thank goodness, the new one is almost here.  Judging from the first leaked tune, the band has somehow injected even more power into their sound, practically bursting at the seams.  “Blue Sky Noise” doesn’t come out till 4/20, but you can preorder now, [...]

I guess this is the week for hugely influential 90′s post-hardcore, huh?  Polyvinyl has put up a preorder for FIVE new vinyl reissues by the legendary Illinois band, Braid.  The pack includes “Frankie Welfare Boy Age Five” (2xLP, 180 gram white vinyl, edition of 700), “The Age of Octeen” (LP, 180 gram blue vinyl, edition [...]

Here are a couple of monumental 90′s punk reissues.  First up is Jawbreaker’s “Unfun”, a 1990 release that had a huge influence on the punk/emo/hardcore scene throughout the 90′s.  The vinyl has been remastered from the original analog tapes, and is available for the first time since 1992.  It’s a great deal at only $12.99.  [...]

Circa Survive have capped off their vinyl discography with the scarce 2005 EP, “The Inuit Sessions”.  Pressed to vinyl for the first time, Inuit features four songs, two of which later showed up on “Juturna”, two of which are otherwise unreleased.  Like we’ve said before, we love Circa Survive, so it’s awesome to see all [...]

One of the only emo-ish bands (it’s arguable if they’re really even an emo band or not) we can stomach here at OMGVinyl has just reissued their two full-length albums on vinyl.  Circa Survive will win over even the hardest emo-haters with their catchy hooks, powerful guitars, and unique vocal style.  Their debut LP, “Juturna”, [...]

Copies of this one are very limited and disappearing fast, so move quick if you want in – this might not last until the morning. Balboa and Plague Sermon come from two different sides of the ocean, but they both kick out emotionally charged hardcore with equal ferocity. Check the noise on the relevant Myspace [...]

We don’t normally blog about emo bands here, but this one is actually listenable, plus their vinyl is always hotter than the fires of hell.  Circa Survive is offering up a limited edition 7″ of b-sides for only $5.  It comes on clear vinyl, has a cool chipboard sleeve, is limited to 1,000, and the [...]

Sounds like Leyland Kirby, aka The Caretaker, has been feeling a bit glum lately. Maybe been listening to too much death ambient? I’m not even going to quote any of the press releases on this one, because it’s Friday night and I don’t want to ruin it for anybody who might be having a good [...]

I was holding out hope on this one… I had been hearing SDRE was going to get back together for a reunion so surely Sub Pop would reissue their seminal first two albums, right? RIGHT?! Well, it is true. Sunny Day Real Estate is indeed reuniting for a slate of 20 emotionally charged (emo?) shows [...]

Insound has gone ahead and posted pre-orders for these two crucial reissues from the Sub Pop label. Its also been announced that both Diary and LP2 will be remastered and released with two bonus tracks apiece. Additionally, Diary is going to be released as a 2xLP. If all this talk of remastering and bonus tracks [...]

I may not know anything about this band, but I know a thing or two about limited edition vinyl and this band has enough hype going for it that an edition of 500 is bound to disappear fairly quickly. So if you like this band, or think you might like this band, or think you [...]
