AGAINST ME! - REINVENTING AXL ROSE LP Debut album by the Gainesville, Florida punk rock band Against Me!, released in March 2002 by No Idea Records. It was the group's first release as a full band with electric guitars, bass guitar, and drums. $10.00 On Sale

AMERICAN FOOTBALL - SELF TITLED LP Considering the incredible appeal of American Football's debut single with Polyvinyl, it was quite easy to expect great things from their first album -- tracks like "The One with the Tambourine" took Mike Kinsella far beyond his emo roots, into beautiful territory that had more in common with Red House Painters than Cap'n Jazz. American Football, the group's album debut, may not hit quite the same heights, but it comes close enough that no one should be bothered; Mike Kinsella treads the same brightly arpeggiated post-emo (to coin a phrase) territory his brother Tim Kinsella does with Joan of Arc (albeit without the abstraction). The obvious progression from the Polyvinyl single comes in the form of horns and Wurlizter dabbed tastefully onto a few tracks; when the band picks up into more conventionally driving territory ("Honestly?"), things are still appealing -- but Kinsella's main strength seems to be in drifting, floating waves of melody, and American Football makes good on this in a pretty impressive way. $10.00 On Sale

BRIDGE & TUNNEL - EAST/WEST LP The band went with a vintage, mesquite style of recording "East/West", stepping aside from the louder / larger / heavier / crunchier approach of the day and opting for a warmer, more organic, reverb-laden sound. The ghosts are in the mix. It seems oddly appropriate that the album was recorded after-hours in an active funeral home. $10.00 On Sale

CHUCK RAGAN - LOS FELIZ LP Recorded on February 19, 2007 in Los Feliz, California, Los Feliz captures a very spontaneous performance of songs in a setting that isn’t contrived or overly scrutinized. “We set up the show and played it a week later,” Ragan explains about the impromptu performance, which spans everything from traditional songs to a HWM track to previously unreleased solo material and even a few covers. “A lot of good friends came out and played and a lot of people showed up and showed their support,” he continues, “it was nothing but good fun.. $10.00 On Sale

CINEMA EYE - A COMPLETE ARSENAL LP This Columbus, Ohio quartet takes the best of 80’s new wave and combines it with hints of classic hair-metal to create the dynamic tempo fluctuations, irresistibly danceable harmonies, and crunching guitar bends that characterize this record. Synth-based, melody driven bass lines and catchy modulated keyboards swarm beneath the surface of fierce, grating guitars and drums, brought together by the powerfully evocative female vocals. This is The Cinema Eye's follow up to their split 10"/cd with Audion that was released on Sound Virus in early 2003. This recording is still filled with hooks but makes more of an attempt to possibly merging the worlds of such bands like Sleater Kinney with Milemarker or Camera Obscura, making The Cinema Eye's sound relentless rock and roll as told by Missing Persons. $10.00 On Sale

THE DEAD HATE THE LIVING - SHOCK & AWE LP The debut full length and awesome followup to their "Take that, world!" 7" ep on Limbless Records. Female/male/male vocalled speedpicking all out thrash attack. 12 new songs that sound like they could have been released in the '80s if not for their modern approach to a classic sound. A fast, heavy and aggressive hardcore record that doesn't lose sight of melody. $10.00 On Sale

DEAR LANDLORD - DREAM HOMES LP Have you ever held a conch shell up to your ear so you can hear the ocean’s quiet roar? This Dear Landlord record is kinda like that, but instead you’ve woken up bleary-eyed on a dirty couch, stumbled out the front door into the brightly burning 2PM sun, found an empty 40 oz bottle laying in the dirt and held it up to your ear. The echoes of last night’s blackout pour forth and suddenly foggy memories snap sharply into focus. Pangs of regret stab you in the gut like a knife to the back and you start to wonder where it all went wrong. Dear Landlord are here to remind you. Bordering on super-group status with members of Illinois power-pop masterminds The Copyrights and Minneapolis Weasel-worshippers Rivethead, they carry the torch high, burning brightest when they step to the mic together for anthemic choruses cut by snotty leads and broken wrists flying at breakneck speeds. Sign up and cast off, because if you’re holding this in your hands you’re probably as fucked as them. You just don’t know it yet. $10.00 On Sale

DEFIANCE, OHIO - SHARE WHAT YA GOT LP This is a repress of their first record from the fine folks at No Idea Records. Political punk with country influences, violin, cello, banjo and upright bass. $10.00 On Sale

ERIN TOBEY LP "If I were to describe Erin's music like a white coat wearing professor of musicology, I would say that the she creates songs that are sometimes beautiful, shy and fragile, and at other times are self-assured, powerful declarations on what it is to be alive. Erin does a great job conveying the emotion of love through well thought lyrics, and sparse, almost ghostly instrumentation. For the most part, the recording is just a space-echoed voice, and a cleanly fingerpicked Danelectro guitar. But Erin adds many subtle touches like air organs, ukeleles, and the occasional sound of a distant, marching snare drum. Also, Rich Diem of Twelve Hour Turn plays slide guitar, and contributes a little singing to the album. People might know of Erin from her other bands, Abe Froman and Mt. Gigantic, or perhaps from Here It Is zine. She is a very talented person in art, music, and in life. I wish the best for Erin, and I hope that everyone loves this album as much as I do." --Lenny Rutland (Bakery Outlet Records). $10.00 On Sale

THE EVENS LP The Evens are a band from Washington, D.C. Ian MacKaye (Fugazi) plays baritone guitar and Amy Farina (The Warmers) plays drums. They both sing. This is their debut album and it was recorded at Inner Ear Studios in the summer of 2004. $10.00 On Sale

GHOST MICE / ANDREW JACKSON JIHAD - SPLIT LP Ghost Mice are a two piece acoustic folk punk band playing songs about everything from liberation and freedom to pizza, bikes, and traveling. The music is simple, political, and impossible to avoid singing along to. Andrew Jackson Jihad are mammals who perform music. At their core they consist of two members, Sean Bonnette (acoustic guitar) and Ben Gallaty (upright bass), though they often employ other vertebrates in order to enhance their live shows and recordings. Some of their music can be described as "sad songs sung happily," and okay fine, folk-punk. $10.00 On Sale

GHOST MICE - FAIRY BATTLE LP These are songs that are very dear to many people, comes with a beautiful full color cover and labels with art by Chris Clavin!! 1000 pressed and this LP will quickly become an out of print collector's item. $10.00 On Sale

GOOD LUCK - INTO LAKE GRIFFY LP Good Luck are friends who knew each other from playing in past musical projects like Matty Pop Chart, One Reason, Abe Froman, and Mt. Gigantic. They used to live in Mississippi, Kentucky, and Michigan before something drew them all to Bloomington. $10.00 On Sale

IRON AGE - THE SLEEPING EYE LP Austin, Texas’ Iron Age have been slugging it out in hardcore and punk circles since the middle of the decade, touring with such contemporary hardcore luminaries as Rise And Fall and ***ed Up, while steadily honing the riffed-out hardcore sound established on their 2006 debut Constant Struggle. With The Sleeping Eye, Iron Age remains a modern torchbearer for the long tradition established by the crossover classics but twists the NYHC-inspired thrash of their debut to create something bigger and darker, enhancing the violence of their former efforts with mammoth Lovecraftian atmopshere. $10.00 On Sale

KYLESA - TIME WILL FUSE ITS WORTH LP Since this Savannah, Georgia, quintet first formed in early 2001, worrying about genre limitations has never been a priority. Taking musical chances, however, always has been. While Kylesa are as heavy as any band out there, they are beholden to no one scene, punk, hardcore, metal, stoner rock, crust, or otherwise. Kylesa ranges far and wide, using their utter disregard of musical boundaries to bring together avant-garde experimentalism with the pure fury of dirty, sludgy riffs and raw, impassioned male and female vocals. There is a relentless intensity to their music, from the ambient noise interludes that sometimes link songs to the doom-inspired punishment they are capable of dishing out with dual drop-tuned guitars. Gatefold. $10.00 On Sale

LATTERMAN - WE ARE STILL ARLIVE LP "If we've ran a million miles to get to this place, we'll keep the pace" sings Latterman as We Are Still Alive begins...We Are Still Alive will strike a resounding chord with the legions of fans who recognize Latterman's dedication to building something real. "If you think punk's dead / you haven't met our friends / they're always at it again and again" sings Latterman, reaffirming their hope about punk rock and the community it has the power to create. It's this search for a "home where we won't die alone," whether it lie in our hearts, in our hands or within our friends, that's the main theme on Latterman's third record. They "never want to sing these songs alone"...and with all the spirited anthems, thought provoking lyrics and fist-pumping choruses on We Are Still Alive, Latterman doesn't have a thing to worry about. Bands like this don't exist anymore...so wake up, pay attention and feel alive. Cause when they're done, I'm done too. $10.00 On Sale

MASS MOVEMENT OF THE MOTH / THE CATALYST LP An eleven song, collaborative split of apocalyptic proportions from two of DC/VA's most fierce and twisted young bands. Mass Movement Of The Moth returns with blast after contagious blast of synth-driven, psychedelic post-hardcore, while The Catalyst sludge through their latest offering of kerosene-soaked, in-your-face noise-punk/grunge. Song order switches from band to band, allowing no side A or side B to keep the collective rock apart. Limited edition LP features blasphemous, full color artwork, gatefold packaging, and colored vinyl. For fans of Born Against, PG 99, Camera Obscura, Melt Banana, Etc.. $10.00 On Sale

MAX LEVINE ENSEMBLE - OK SMARTYPANTS LP This is the first full length release by D.C.'s power pop punk group. 14 tracks of intense, youthful and catchy punk rock that will make you think as well as dance. $10.00 On Sale

MONIKERS - WAKE UP LP Featuring a member of the long-defunct Florida legends Discount, people tend to say Monikers “Wake Up” sounds like Jawbreaker, Leatherface, and a bunch of other 90's pop punk bands. What they don't know is that Monikers are probably the best band in the whole world right now. Monikers first full length record “Wake Up” is the product of years of slacking off, years of avoiding practice, and years of playing shows far too drunk for their own good, if they even show up at all. Still, somehow Monikers managed to get the songs down and record an album through minimal effort ready to bring their brand of gruff pop punk to the masses. “Wake Up” should be a welcome addition to the present state of music. It's pretty good too. $10.00 On Sale

OUTBREAK - SELF TITLED LP While only the band’s second full length effort to date, among Outbreak’s discography is several other splits, EPs, and singles, notably a split with Only Crime and two releases via hardcore/punk mainstay Bridge 9 Records. Trustkill Records is handling distribution duties, and despite being connected to the Universal Music Group, the band proudly states that they have complete control of their new album. Outbreak's self titled debut is a direct statement. A testament to the fact that the band is still going strong. Crafted to silence anyone who questioned the band’s future.. $10.00 On Sale

PAUL BARIBEAU - GRAND LEDGE 10" aul Baribeau’s warm, witty sounds and gnarly beard bring something truly unique and interesting to the folk-punk table. With such well-known friends as Matty Pop Chart and Kimya Dawson, the South Central Michigan native collaborates often, but has two of his own beautiful solo records out on Plan-It-X. This is one of those beautiful records. $10.00 On Sale

THE PINE - DON'T NEED REGRET LP Continuing their dedication to vinyl-only releases, Bakersfield, California's THE PINE unleashes their latest offering of gut-wrenching emotional hardcore on seminal New York state indie mainstay, Alone Records. $10.00 On Sale

PINK RAZORS - LEAVE ALIVE LP In the wake of great change for punk-pop purveyors Pink Razors, their second LP "Leave Alive" reflects the band's transformations. The band's penchant for hooks, crunch, and speed remain intact here but are given more room to breathe, resulting in longer, more developed pop constructions that explore different tempos. Joined by Erin Tobey on guitar/vox. $10.00 On Sale

PLAY GUITAR - YOU'RE AN OUTLINE 7" Two amazing slices of quirky pop perfection from the prolific mind of Christian Simmons (Burdocks, Hold, Attack Mode etc.). Play Guitar continues the skewed pop sensibilities of the Burdocks with a healthy dose of post-rock just to keep you on your toes. The single comes on hazy clear vinyl. *Not Actual Album Art. $5.00 On Sale

RINGERS - CURSES LP Boston based Ringers play some of the most direct, driving, anthemic, honest and heartfelt punk, devoid of pretense and eyeliner, that you're likely to hear this year. They'd hate to know I said that but it's true. Ringers is everything I look for in a band, poignant lyrics you can identify with, rough hewn melodies that move you, and an amazing live show to bring it all together. Fans of bands like Against Me!, Hot Water Music, Kid Dynamite and Dillinger Four should definitely take notice. Features former members of The Insurgent, Speakeasy and Melee. $10.00 On Sale

RYMODEE - SONGS OF SEPARATION 12" Solo album from Rymodee of This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb. Recorded on a one track, these are stripped down gutter country songs. Includes a few This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb covers! $10.00 On Sale

SAVES THE DAY - STAY WHAT YOU ARE LP This record showcases Saves The Day's most varied material to date while at the same time continuing in the tradition of the band's known ability to create direct hitting, pop-fueled music. It is fair to say that fans of this genre, the band or punk rock in general will never be the same again. $10.00 On Sale

THIS BIKE IS A PIPE BOMB - DANCE PARTY WITH 10" This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb is a folk-punk band from Pensacola, Florida, USA in 1996. Their first recording was released in 1997 on Ghostmeat Records. Their later releases have been on Plan It X Records and No Idea Records. This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb is rumored to have initially started as (or at least intended, but failed to start as) a tongue-in-cheek country band, but their punk rock roots were evident enough in their music that they became one of the premiere bands at the forefront of the folk punk genre. They have done several US tours, played at Geekfest, and have been to Europe. $10.00 On Sale

THIS BIKE IS A PIPE BOMB - FRONT SEAT SOLIDARITY LP This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb is home to some of the most spirited songwriting and performances out there today. The Pensacola, FL trio takes its punk-rock folk around the country regularly and has contributed to many Ghostmeat compilations. "Front Seat Solidarity" is their 2nd full length release and it's really great. Terry sings lead on one song and the whole band is really perfect. 14 songs that will make you smile and dance like a idiot. Folk punk at it's finest. $10.00 On Sale

YIP YIP - PRO TWELVE THINKER LP Banned from Canada for one year Yip-Yip is Brian Esser and Jason Temple, two 25 year-old "writhing costumed beanpoles" from Orlando, Florida. They have been making music together since they formed in 2001. They have also been roommates for much of this time, annoying neighbors in apartments until moving into "The Reptile House" in 2004. The house provides Yip-Yip with the space they need to continue making all of their music, recordings, art, etc). Check out this noisy glitchy record. $10.00 On Sale
