We were pleasantly surprised this week when I happened to flip open the most recent Springfield Tourist guide and found our picture in it really big! Wow was not expecting that! You know sometimes we forget just how hardcore our town is, we do have Lincoln’s actual body after all.
We’ve got a whole MESS of releases coming out this Friday to highlight!
– Jazz saxophonist KAMASI WASHINGTON is out with a double album called “Fearless Movement” on red and blue vinyl.
– Dance-pop artist DUA LIPA with her third studio album “Radial Optimism”
– Folk singer-songwriter FRANK TURNER with his tenth studio album “Undefeated”
– A re-issue of the 2021 EP “Typical of Me” by LAUFEY
– GREEN DAY’s 2000 album “Warning” is being re-issued on green vinyl!
– CAMERA OBSCURA’s first new album in nine years, “Look To The East, Look To The West”
– The Vitamin String Quartet plays the music of Taylor Swift! On exclusive blue swirly vinyl! (Fingers crossed we get this one in)
– The Lemon Twigs “A Dream Is All We Know” – truly beautiful music, available on black vinyl.
– Not pictured: Melanie Martinez’s “K-12” is getting a re-issue and we should have a few copies.
This week Pepperoni has picked this DEFTONES album
“Alright, I am finally picking an album by DEFTONES, this is a band that people ask if we have all of the time so I hope all of you Deftones fans are happy now. Most of these are the 20th anniversary pressing on transparent red vinyl. (This is their self-titled album from 2003). No it’s not the album with the girl on it, it’s the record with the skull on it. What are Deftones anyways, are they like nümetal or more like hard rock?”
This Friday we have another loud kung fu show with California hardcore bands Ceramik and Bare Minimum, and local hardcores Prevention, Volition, and Propaganda
