**2xLP STARTS SHIPPING IN LATE MARCH! CD WILL BE OUT MARCH 23rd!

This moment is quite literally twenty years in the making for me. What's the story here? Is it about a kid hearing a band for the first time in 1990? Is it about the impact felt by a vastly influential, yet humbly underground band? Let us just say that without LEATHERFACE there would be no HOT WATER MUSIC as we know them. THE TIM VERSION and TILTWHEEL would have a big problem. And there would be a lot less tattoos of boats. I have reached the conclusion that this is enough. That AND a big, fancy pre-order version of the new record that in some small way attempts to salute the Boat and their brilliant new album. Without further ado... Twelve songs spread over four sides, cut at maximum volume and fidelity in glorious 45 RPM on RED VINYL!! Full-color pocket sleeve, jacket, and labels. Screenprinted accents on jacket. Bonus tour poster and sticker. This pressing is LIMITED to 500 copies!! Different artwork than the overseas release! (The version in stores will be a single-LP cut at 33 RPM.) Never say I don't love you.

MEAN JEANS
"Are You Serious" from Dirtnap
BUY LP • $8.50
BUY CD • $8.00
DOWNLOAD from iTunes

THE MEAN JEANS are the kids that live down the street that blare the Ramones and the Angry Samoans late at night while they are playing "Edward 40s Hands". They have 3 things in their refrigerator: ketchup, beer and slime. THE MEAN JEANS were born when, at the ripe ages of 23 and 24, Jeans Wilder (skins, vox and smokes) and Billy Jeans (vox, riffs and spliffs) started playing their parent's DC-area basements in the winter of 2006. They grew another member, Howie Doodat (AKA Jean Jeans on the bass guitar), after moving to Portland, OR a year later. The 13 garage pop tunes of Are You Serious harkens back to the Lookout! Records of the early ‘90s, when pop-punk meant snotty low-brow 3 chord goodness and not glossy soundtracks to mall strolls. Like any good Cretin’s soundtrack, the "songs about partying" vs. "songs about girls" ratio leans fully toward PBR fueled pogo punk. Pitchfork already said THE MEAN JEANS "comes over like the Ramones mixed with a pinch of Joan Jett’s classic "Bad Reputation" and makes you want to slam dance with its guitar riffs and rollicking drumbeats."

THE HADITUPTOHERES
"Wild City, Honest Dancing" from Salinas Records
BUY LP • $8.50

The Hadituptoheres are a three-piece punk band from Detroit, MI. Wild and honest are apt words for the title of their second full length. They sound like an urgent barrage of unguarded feeling, stripped as bare as the artwork on the record. The lyrics are almost Craig Finn-esque at times, a poetry as chaotic and unassumingly beautiful as their hometown, layered over a backbeat that sounds like a more bombastic Toys That Kill. Exploring punk's middle ground: not sugary, but far from macho. "Detroit is easy, baby!" Who's paying attention?

BLACK WINE

HOLOPAW
"Oh, Glory. Oh, Wilderness." from Obscurist Press/Bakery Outlet
BUY LP • $8.00
BUY CD • $10.00
DOWNLOAD from iTunes

We're very excited to see Holopaw back at it with their third full-length, Oh, Glory Oh, Wilderness. After two acclaimed records with Sub Pop, Florida natives John Orth and Jeff Hays changed their strategy in favor of a more scaled-down, home-grown approach to creating music. What you have here is Holopaw's second coming: ten tracks of lulling guitar and meaningful lyricisms that encompass the struggle and hard work of putting a band back together.

STOLEN PARTS
"Stolen Parts" from Kiss of Death
BUY 7" • $3.75

Members of OFF WITH THEIR HEADS, MONIKERS, BRIDGE AND TUNNEL, and LATTERMAN make up Brooklyn’s STOLEN PARTS. These sing-along songs will definitely get stuck in your head. Catchy melodies and gravelly vocals remind you of early 90s’ Lookout Records bands like GREEN DAY and CRIMPSHRINE. Is that enough name dropping for you?

KING FRIDAY
"Married Alive" from Fast Crowd
BUY CD • $6.00
DOWNLOAD from iTunes

"King Friday picks up right where Fay Wray left off. Or do they? I think King Friday was a band first. Who cares? This album is the bee's balls. 14 great songs from some of the originators of Florida's underground punk scene. These are some of the dudes that started it all. Songs about... well... drinking, girls, and other stupid stuff old people shouldn't be singing about. It's absolutely wonderful. If you play guitar, I bet track 8 makes you sad with the realization that you will never write such tasteful guitar licks." - J. Wang
