The Brainchild of Josh Carothers (formerly of I FARM, Earworms, Funbox), Chilton channels their inner ALL/Descendents while tip-toeing the line of prog-punk & skate-rock. Recorded at the Blasting Room with Jason Livermore. Limited to 223 copies on Mixed Color vinyl.
CHINESE TELEPHONES- "Outta My Hands" 7"EP 2nd press out now!
Milwaukee, Wisconsin pop-punkers are back with their first new material since 2007! The Chi-Tels pummel through 3 awesome new songs, plus a Dictators cover! More power-pop this time around, tinged with melodies, but still that fast paced punk you expect from these DIY punk vets. Split release w/ Bloated Kat Records.
NEW TAPE RELEASES from Dead Broke:
DOC HOPPER- “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed...” TAPE
Finally! A Doc Hopper release on Dead Broke! 90’s pop-punk underdogs from the greater New England area & some of the best to do it. This is a collection of demos, leftovers + non-LP cover songs. First collected in 2000 intended for a disbanded Go-Kart Records release. Only self-released by band on CDRs for ‘final’ year of shows back then. Art by Ray Ahn (the Hard-ons) Color by Tom Lowell. 100 Puke Green Tapes pressed.
BROADCASTER- "Daylight" EP TAPE
Long Island's Broadcaster are back with a brand new 4-song EP of that indie pop-rock goodness that they do oh-so well. Their first new material in almost a decade. (members of Adult Magic, Iron Chic+) Limited to 30 Blue Cassettes w/ Baby Blue cases. (SOLD OUT!)
FIFTEEN- "I'd Rather Kiss a Wookie" TAPE
Surprise! It's FIFTEEN's fifth album pressed on a baby blue Cassette Tape, released under it's original intended title. What more can we say really, not much. East Bay punk at it's finest & most melodic (ex-Crimpshrine). One of our favorites. Limited to only 150 copies.
EVENING STANDARDS- "Rainbow Shrimp" TAPE
Basement (or now shed?) sun-soaked indie lo-fi pop punky goodness from members of Landlord, Fat Shadow, Door-Keys & more. 2021 Pandemic record "Rainbow Shrimp" brought to light in the great cassette format. For believers of great DIY pop music, this is one for the books. Limited to 100 copies pressed on Clear Purple Cassettes. Look out for a new album in 2024.
