Some Thanks, Well Wishes and Lofty Opinions!

Thanks to all the friends and fans that made the Hooper record release show so fun.  If you missed picking one up at the show they're stocked at Wax Trax (go there first, we love Davey Boyo) and Twist & Shout in Denver.  They'll also start popping up with our distributors when The Manxx record is officially released.  We have new buttons in stock that we'll be throwing in for FREE with any mailorders so don't forget that option!  Well, that wraps up "El Primer A˜`o" as we are calling it over here.  Enjoy all the festivities coming up and we'll get to work on new stuff when January 2012 hits.  In the meantime, we'll leave you with our staff's top music picks from this year.  Adios!

Lookin' Sharp!

Love,

Another Set Of Choice Cuts!

Our 4th record is already here!  "The Shallows b/w 100 Acre Slingshot" by Hooper navigates on your turntable at 45 RPM on 7" vinyl and comes with a download code, all in our instantly recognizable gold sleeve.  Hooper is a power-trio that likes some pop in their punkish rock 'n' roll.  If it was the 90's they might even be called "College Rock".  But it's not so let's just say the guitar rips, the bass thumps, the drums bang and you can whoa-oh the day away during repeated listens.  The fresh single is ready to ship right this second.  Be sure to catch the release show at our favorite spot, Lost Lake, Friday 12/16/11.  Pogo party!  Pressing Info: 300 on randomly mixed color vinyl

A Must-See Show For Those In Denver!

Snake Mountain

Attention friends and fans!  This Saturday December 3rd at Lost Lake there is a bittersweet-killer show.  It features Snake Mountain (their final show & Bryce's going away party), Eyes & Ears (their extended holiday vacation sabbatical show) and some very good pals.  Come rock it on out with everyone and party your faces off with the two bands that got this little label off the ground!

Eyes & Ears

Your Turntable Wants This!

The next single is on deck!  "Messin' Around b/w Hard Lessons" by The Manxx spins at 45 RPM on 7" vinyl and comes with a download code, all in our stylish gold sleeve.  The Manxx are rock 'n' roll-garage-poppers that bang out catchy fuzzed out sing-alongs.  Great melodies and keyboard hooks galore.  Two ladies, one gentleman and all rad (go HERE to check out a recent interview with the band in the UCD Advocate for more insight).  The release show has been delayed due to a busted ankle and the records won't be ready to order for a bit.  We have the link active if you wanna pre-pre-order.  We'll be sure to update y'all when the release show has been rescheduled and the records are ready to ship.  Thanxx!  Pressing Info: 300 on randomly mixed color vinyl

Posters, Samplers, Giveaways, Other Stuff!

Greetings friends and listeners!  You may have noticed a few updates to the site here.  We've got the Adoptions section rolling, posted a track by The Reddmen to Soundcloud and livened up some links.  We also have a bandcamp page now!  The link under the Sounds header will direct you to a 4 Song Sampler that you can download for free.  If you wanna donate a buck or two that option is also there.  Want to know another way to get free stuff?  Any order placed through us will come with a free mini poster (look left!) to hang in your room or locker or tent or wherever you like to show people what good taste you have.  That's a "while supplies last" deal.  Once those are gone we'll have another free bonus for orders.  More on that later on.  We should have some announcements by the end of the summer as to who the lucky bands are that will comprise our 3rd and 4th releases.  Thanks loyal followers, catch ya next time!

Thanks Once Again!

The 25 Rifles record release show for their "History Of Flags" E.P. was super fun.  Thanks go out to all involved and every attendee.  Here at Snappy HQ we are letting some ideas simmer before unleashing any news on the next planned release.  We will be adding some more material from The Reddmen to our Adoptions section soon.  Included amongst the titles will be a new anthology that coincides with their decision to hang it up after 15 years.  We'll keep you posted on what's next for those guys.  Until next time loyal followers!

Bang! The Next Hot Platter, Courtesy Of 25 Rifles!

The new 25 Rifles E.P. is called "History Of Flags" and it's a scorcher.  4 tunes at 45 RPM ensures maximum listening efficiency.  Want to know more about the Rifles?  Well, they don’t preach the apocalypse. The world ended long before they were born. Instead, the three-piece group scavenges the ruins of culture, repurposing the buzz and howl of early Husker Du and Mission of Burma to suit the empty gestures of their futile rage.  25 Rifles subtracts the “power” from the power-trio. What’s left is dust. Oh, and this record.  Perks include color vinyl, a fold-over picture sleeve with lyrics and a download code.  All that for just $5.00.  They are ready to ship and the release show is coming up.  Get while the gettin' is good!  Pressing Info: 300 on randomly mixed color vinyl

Snappy Little Numbers 102 Release Show Is Hurtling Towards Us!

Hot on the heels of our first offering comes the "History Of Flags" E.P. by Denver's own 25 Rifles.  This 4 song 7" spins at 45 rpm and includes a download code.  The release show is on a Saturday night, June 25, 2011 at the now legendary Lost Lake in Denver.  Enjoy a cocktail or several and pick up a record.  That's a pretty nice evening in our book.  As always, thanks to our friends and fans.

Love,

25 Rifles.  Drummer's in back.  He's killing it.

People! Your Next Favorite Record Is Here!

We are proud to announce our first release, a split single 45 featuring Eyes & Ears and Snake Mountain.  Both groups provide songs that pay homage to a couple of Denver institutions.  Eyes & Ears' "I Buried My Heart Under Bar Bar (Then Burned It Down To The Ground)" is about, well, Bar Bar.  Bar Bar is a classic dive that plays host to many killer shows and provides questionable allowances to patrons.  What's not to like?  Snake Mountain's "Defend Colfax" is in honor of the most famous street in the greater Denver metropolitan area.  Why is it famous?  Well, aside from it's vast array of car dealerships, restaurants and hookers, Colfax is lined with bars and clubs that provide many of the same attributes as Bar Bar.  So now this blurb has come full circle.  This 7" Single is on color vinyl and comes in one of our stylish company sleeves and includes a Download Code.  At $4.00, this is a hot deal.  These are ready for mail order right now and there will be a record release party on May 28 (read below).  After that they will be released to the rest of the world for mass consumption.  Rock it!  Pressing Info: 300 on randomly mixed color vinyl
