- EZRA COHEN & THE BIG CITY BAND “Worse For The Wear" LP is Out Now!
Ezra Cohen’s sophomore album is his finest work to date, and contender for album of the year. New Hampshire singer/songwriter returns with his second full-length & first with the Big City Band. Ezra’s alternative pop gems come to a whole new life & are fully realized rocking with a full band. Still on that Lemonheads vibe, this is the album we knew Ezra would make since the minute we heard his first solo track. 200 pressed on Black vinyl.
Limited Vinyl available @ DISTRO
"Kick Back" premiere @ New Noise Magazine
"Fire Escape" premiere @ Punknews.org
- NATURE BOYS- “3” LP Reissue OUT NOW!! @ DISTRO🌙 😈
Kansas City, Missouri’s NATURE BOYS third album from 2017 mastered & recut by Carl Saff. Originally put out on the late & great Mandible Records, this one put the band on our radar & still one of our favorites. Raw & lo-fi hyper punk/rock & roll just how we like it, with a layer of grit. I sometimes call them the midwest punk rock Dead Moon, and this record lives up to it. True lifers out there kicking ass for nearly 15 years.. Go catch them on tour in EUROPE next month!
