"Who’ll be the first to litter on Mars?" 🔴 Veteran DC punk band The Goons are back with a brand new 4-song 7” that is as good as, if not better than, their last material from 2006. Recorded by Don Zientara in the legendary Inner Ear Studios basement and pressed by the fine folks at Furnace on Martian red vinyl.

FUN FACT: My old punk band was supposed to play with back in ‘98, but our set was abruptly cut short after we got in a fight with some skinheads and the show got shut down.

One of my fav records of 2025 is the new Colatura EP 💙 Colatura makes music that lives in the in-between: sometimes dreamy, sometimes heavy. Think melodic indie rock laced with fuzzy guitars, undeniable hooks, and raw storytelling. “If I’m Being Honest” plays like a series of late-night confessionals – introspective, nostalgic, aching, and ultimately cathartic.

VISIONS vinyl in stock now! 🕯️ offer up a powerful and beautiful style of gothic-anarcho-inspired punk that often gets compared to Siouxsie and The Banshees, The Chameleons, The Mob, or Signal Lost - but delivered with high energy, vitality, and simply amazing singing. Released by on fancy gold vinyl, and available in the Handstand distro. Highly recommended!

Late to the party with this one but “I Feel In The Sky” LP is now up in the distro shop! 🇧🇷 Brasil’s indie wizard delivers another transcendent dose of jazzy and hazy psychedelic indie rock bliss. Fans of Built to Spill and Guided By Voices will find great comfort here.

demo ‘24 came out 1 year ago (if my math is right) but the vibe is definitely more ‘74, like if Heart were a NWOBHM band. We’re talking hard rock inspired by greats like Thin Lizzy, Girlschool, Judas Priest, Budgie, Pink Fairies, The Kinks, AC/DC, etc.
🐉🔥 Self-released cassette is limited to 100 copies & comes with a sticker!
