Latest Releases

Double Negative: Daydreamnation 12" - Three years and two aborted recording sessions later, North Carolina's almighty Double Negative finally deliver the follow-up to their legendary debut. While that record obliterated listeners with its sharp, precise hardcore attack, Daydreamnation finds Double Negative incorporating the wide variety of influences one would expect from four guys who have all been playing in bands for 25+ years. Particularly if you've ever had your face ripped off by this band live, Daydreamnation's relentless wash of noise, speed, and energy will make it the Double Negative record you've always wanted. Note: includes free mp3 download, deluxe foil-stamped covers, and obi strip. Pink vinyl is sold out; sorry! Still plenty of black left...

Libyans: A Common Place 12" - Debut LP from this Boston punk band who seemed to catch everyone's ear with a slew of great singles and EPs over the past few years. Libyans have always segued seamlessly between blistering, catchy hardcore and huge, anthemic punk in the mold of the Avengers, but A Common Place takes both of those approaches to new levels of intensity and artistry. If you're not circle pitting to "Blood and Rust," or if you don't have your fist in the air during the chorus to "Paralyzed," I may have to question whether you have any soul left in you. Note: Includes free mp3 download. Mailorder gets clear vinyl (limited to 218 copies)

UX Vileheads: Catch 22 7" - 2nd EP from this new-ish HC punk band from Umeå, Sweden, and it rages even harder than their first! Featuring former/current members of bands like Instängd, Tristess, and Regulations, you know that these guys know their way around a classic-sounding punk tune and they drop four ragers on this little slab. It's rare to hear punk rock that is as raging as it is catchy, but this EP absolutely fits the bill, providing the perfect soundtrack to your next violent circle pit. Limited mailorder version on sweet aquamarine vinyl (200 copies). Sorry State Records #22
