- MAKIN' OUT- "Living In A Glass House" LP OUT NOW! @ DISTRO
"Makin’ Out is a four piece band fronted by singer/songwriter Caitlin Angelica. Formed in early 2023 during the harsh, but creatively fertile Minneapolis winter, the band was a long-desired avenue for Angelica to flesh out and expand a repertoire of unheard material written on acoustic guitar. Taking equal inspiration from folk and country as well as pop punk and region rock, the band blends these influences, and becomes more than the sum of its parts, offering a truly refreshing and emotionally evocative take on the traditional rock format." Limited to 300 copies on Random Mixed Colored vinyl in cooperation with band.💋🏠😍
- MOVING TARGETS- “Red Eyes” LP Shipping NOW! @ DISTRO
New studio album "Red Eyes"- Following on from 2018's "Wires" LP, their first studio album in over 25 years, and following up with "Humbucker" in 2020, and “in the Dust” in 2023, “Red Eyes” is the latest highly anticipated instalment in the reborn band that even a global pandemic couldn't stop. MT in the 21st century is a powerhouse, having toured US, Europe and Japan extensively since their reformation, and their latest album couples the next-level song writing craft of Kenny Chambers with the cast-iron rhythm section of Yves and Emilien in arguably their most complete offering since reforming, "Red Eyes" manages to sound reassuringly familiar and new and dynamic at the same time , and is everything you would want and expect from a Moving Targets record, and more. Recorded with J Robbins (JAWBOX) at the helm (who also adds some percussion and backing vocals), "Red Eyes” continues the Moving Targets rebirth! Out July 25th, 2025 co-release with Boss Tuneage in Europe, Waterslide in Japan. Available on Limited Color TURQUOISE Vinyl Limited to 250- Shipping now!

- HUMBLE BEGINNINGS- “Overanalyzing the Manifestations of the Unconscious” 12"EP OUT NOW! @ DISTRO
Humble Beginnings were a pop-punk/emo band hailing from New Jersey from 1995-2001. True underdogs of the classic 90’s NJ. pop-punks like contemporaries Midtown, Saves The Day, Bigwig+ (all of which they have shared members with at some point in time) but with much more of a 90’s skate-punk influence. Both of us here at Dead Broke have fond memories seeing this band on some of our early local punk shows around town, so this ones full circle. Their 1998 CDep release, “Overanalyzing the Manifestations of the Unconscious” (originally on Eyeball Records) never before on vinyl, remastered & out just in time for the Derby Punks 25th anniversary show with a Humble Beginnings reunion!

YOUR PEST BAND- "Blaze By Me" LP
Newest album from Japan's finest punk rock & rollers you should know and love! 15 years in the game and they are still rocking harder than ever. Garage punk rock & roll with a melodic power-pop twist makes them the best to do it, even 7 albums deep. Japan always does it better.
