Thanks & Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes!

 
Thanks so much to all of our wonderful friends, fans and bands that supported all the social causes and small, local Denver-area independent businesses we raised funds for in 2020. Because of your generosity, we were able to donate more than $1,200 among all the various beneficiaries. We are a very small record label and the fact that so many people could come together over music to help their communities says a lot. So many hugs and many more thanks!
 
Also, we're gonna be making some fun changes for 2021.  We've already started with a revamp of our WEB STORE.  We're not done yet, but it's still fully operational while under construction.  We'll be adding more features and enhancements that will make it much easier to learn about and listen to our quality audio recordings and the talent that makes them.  More info on what else 2021 will bring will arrive in January, which will be our 10th Anniversary!  We have some cool plans for that.  Thanks again for following along and please enjoy whatever holiday-type break you get when you get it!

SLN-199 Tries Its Best!


After a nicely received early digital launch, the new Charlie Continental "Be Much Better (feat. Daryl Wilson, Ella Sugar and The Calgary Family Singers)" Flexi Disc 7", is out now!  By now you've likely heard how this song came together and all the buddies that helped it become what it is.  'Be Much Better' is a slice of ska that still has the punk and pop pep that we've come to know and adore (tolerate?!) from a Charlie Continental tune. The flexi disc is a clear square 7" with a double-sided cover insert and a download code is still included, just in case you missed the digital/donation release on our BANDCAMP.  You can order a copy of the flexi disc from our WEB STORE100% of every purchase/donation (both flexi and digital) will be donated to Black Lives Matter 5280, Black Lives Matter Chicago and Black Trans Femmes In The Arts. You can also find this song on all the typical digital/streaming sites and the flexi disc is distributed by Recess Ops.  Colorado folks can grab it from any of the usual record shops that carry our audio recordings.  Charlie tried to do a song that was fun and collaborative while being hopeful and real.  We all hope you enjoy the results and we thank you for your generosity!  Pressing Info: 100 clear square 7" flexi discs with double-sided cover insert, download code included.

SLN-197 Shines Brightly!


The brand new Sunshine Satellite S/T EP, is out now!  This is the first release from the band, although they've been steadily playing over the last few years.  Sarah Heller is the captain of the ship, writing and singing short bursts of catchy punk energy.  Everything you hear on the EP is her, minus the drums which are expertly slammed by Tom Chagolla.  The results are concise and effective.  The EP comes on tastefully bright lime green cassette and a download code is included.  You can order a copy from our WEB STORE and if digital is your preference, it's on our BANDCAMP of course. You can also find this spirited EP on all the standard digital/streaming sites and the cassette is distributed by Recess Ops.  Colorado folks can find it at all the usual record stores that carry our signature sounds.  Sunshine Satellite is a shining example of how to make music without fuss; plug in, play loud and crush.  This EP proves that!  Pressing Info: 100 lime green cassette tapes, download code included.

SLN-193 Has Been Resurrected!

 
Well, not resurrected since today is it's first birth, but it made for a better headline.  Either way, today is the day... The brand new Gentlemen Rogues 7", "Do The Resurrection! b/w Bloody Rudderless (In Ursa Major)", is officially out in the world!  Tons of folks are hip to this record as the pre-order was fast and furious. That said, we still got you if you don't have a copy yet! Housed in a classic SLN gold company sleeve, the two tunes on this 7" 45 RPM vinyl disc are stone cold bangers.  'Do The Resurrection!' is a top-shelf example of a power-pop smash while 'Bloody Rudderless (In Ursa Major)' is a clever and inventive 3-covers-in-1-song gem.  The record comes on stunning milky clear & black half-n-half vinyl and a download code is included.  You can order a copy from our WEB STORE and if digital is your thing, it's on our BANDCAMP (today is bandcamp Friday too!). You can also find this killer single on all the standard digital/streaming sites and the 7" is distributed by Recess Ops.  There might be a few copies of the Green Noise exclusive limited art print edition of the 7", so head over there if you missed on that incredible version.  Of course Colorado folks can shop at our favorite record stores to purchase a copy of the standard edition.  We've heard it said that things are bigger in Texas, where Gentlemen Rogues reside. We don't know much about that really, but these songs are Bigger Hits than your average punk rock record so maybe whoever said that was smart.  All we know is, obtain this record if you're smart!  Which you are.  Please and thank you.  Pressing Info: 55 limited edition 7"s on milky clear & black half-n-half vinyl with a bonus silkscreened & hand numbered art print, download code included. 265 standard edition 7"s on milky clear & black half-n-half vinyl, download code included.

We're Getting A Jump On 2021 With despAIR Jordan!

 
You know us, can't sit still.  Welcome despAIR Jordan to the incredibly deep SLN team!  despAIR Jordan's members have been kicking around the Denver music scene for the better part of two decades. Formed from the ashes of rowdier bands like Sleeper Horse, Tin Horn Prayer and Sugar Skulls and Marigolds, despAIR Jordan is a mature and seasoned retelling of a story its members have spent years crafting. Their debut album, "Before Your Wings Gave Out", is set to be released as a digital long player on 1/18/21.  But wait!  Have you seen how rad their "Dunking Robert Smith" logo is?!  Well, you can pre-order a t-shirt with that very logo from our WEB STORE as a combo that includes the album for FREE!  If it helps, you can think of it as buying an album and getting a free shirt.  Whichever makes more sense to you, the esteemed consumer.  Lead single 'The Architect' is on our BANDCAMP SAMPLER now, plus the track is available for immediate download when you pre-order the shirt/album combo.  Now that, friends and fans, is a 2021-style deal!

2020's Final Physical Duo Due Out Soon!

 
That's right dear readers, there are two physical releases left on the SLN calendar for 2020!  We're hyping them as a duo since they'll be sharing a physical release date.  First, we want to welcome Sunshine Satellite to the SLN stable of stars!  Sunshine Satellite is made up of singer, guitarist and songwriter Sarah Heller (formerly of Stoli & The Beers).  She can do it all (including bass on recordings) but chooses to leave the drumming up to her impressively skilled brother-in-law Tom Chagolla (currently of Native Daughters and Chap).  The results are compact, sleek, tuneful and pummeling.  Their S/T EP will be released on Cassette and Digital on 12/11/20.  Pre-order the cassette from our WEB STORE and listen to the single 'Fire Pretty' on our BANDCAMP SAMPLER. Next up is a fun entry from the "Punk Rock Jingle Machine", Charlie Continental, called "Be Much Better". A 7" Flexi Disc will be released on 12/11/20 and pre-orders for those are also in our  WEB STORE. The Digital version is already available right now! Find it on our BANDCAMP page and all the other digital-streaming places you like to rock and/or roll to. This time out, Charlie delivered a ska song with some extra vocal help from his buddies Daryl Wilson (The Bollweevils), Ella Sugar (his SPELLS bandmate) and The Calgary Family Singers (Jennifer is a longtime collaborator).  During the troubles of this past year, 'Be Much Better' is basically how Charlie channeled some frustrations about world events into a short little song. He’s always loved the unity message and energy of ska. 100% of every purchase/donation (both flexi and digital) will be donated to Black Lives Matter 5280, Black Lives Matter Chicago and Black Trans Femmes In The Arts.  Words cannot express his and his friends’ gratitude to all who listen, follow, share and help with their efforts. So, if that's it for physical releases, does that mean we might have a digital surprise hiding out at HQ?  Follow along (especially 12/4/20, wink-wink) to find out!

Welcome Jiffy Marx! New 7" Single Due Out On 11/20/20!

 
We are thrilled to announce that Vancouver, BC, Canada's Jiffy Marx has joined the SLN roster!   For those in the know, Jiffy is also a member of Autogramm, a band that is no stranger to SLN.   Jiffy Marx was born in the winter of 1976 alongside the Ramones’ first album and the Damned’s “New Rose”. Mr. Marx has toured all over North America and Europe with a kitchen sink of bands such as Black Rice, Blood Meridian, Hard Drugs, Jiffy Marker and most recently Canadian new wave revivalists Autogramm (told ya so!). On hiatus from touring and while chipping away at Autogramm’s sophomore album, Marx took a weekend to visit his pals from Seattle’s Bread & Butter. Over the course of 36 hours they managed to drink a shit load of beer, eat a ton of peanut butter pretzels and track Jiffy’s first solo 45rpm single. “She’s My Witch / Warning Sign”, a double A-sider, sounds like classic 70s; more punk than Big Star and more pop than Buzzcocks. The release date for the 7" and digital is 11/20/20. Pre-orders for the 7" are up in our WEB STORE (there are limited picture sleeve editions and standard gold company sleeve editions, all on randomly mixed color vinyl), plus you can hear 'She's My Witch' via our SNAPPY LITTLE SAMPLER on bandcamp.  You should also check out the video premier for 'She's My Witch' over at New Noise Magazine.  Jiffy Marx is set for worldwide recognition, so be among the first to say you were supporters from the jump!

Don't Worry About It! ZEPHR Has A New Album Coming Out In November!


ZEPHR began on a whim between three buddies, much like many other bands. But then that thing happened where it all clicked and they quickly became more than the sum of their parts. Each member contributes passion and ability in unison, and the result is nothing short of joy. You can hear it in their songs, and you can see it in their smiles when they play. On their debut full length, “Don’t Worry About It,” ZEPHR presents the listener with lean, melodic, punk rock tunes essenced with the earworms of powerpop, and the scrappiness of early 90’s indie rock. The record is both anthemic and intimate. It is gruff and also tender. Ultimately, it is something special. And we can all use a little more “special” in our lives right now.  "Don't Worry About It" is set to hit the streets on 11/13/20 and you can pre-order the vinyl LP in our WEB STORE right now (check out the limited art print edition!).  There are also cool new ZEPHR t-shirts, whiskey tumblers and koozies, plus an LP & Merchandise Super Saver Mega Bundle.  ZEPHR just released a new single from the album, 'Casey', today.  It's on our BANDCAMP as a digital single and also on our sampler, plus it's on ZEPHR's own bandcamp too.  'Casey' is also on all the other digital/streaming spots of the modern age. 
All revenue generated by the single will be split evenly between Black Lives Matter 5280 and Denver Homeless Out Loud.  Thanks for listening and supporting us, ZEPHR, all our other amazing bands and the organizations/causes we all try to help.  We're all better together!  XOXO!

Two New Flexi Discs Are Coming Soon!


Hey gang!  We've done vinyl, lathe cuts and cassettes over the last nine years.  Now it's time to add flexi discs to the resume!  That's right, those cool semi-translucent flexible (literally) sheets that have the grooves to rock your favorite new song or two.  Our first two flexi discs will be released on 10/2/20: The Animal Steel "Smooth Jazz Chords" and Charlie Continental & Heaty Beat "We're Getting Fixed (The Grawlix Save The World) Original & Remix".  
 
'Smooth Jazz Chords' by The Animal Steel is an exclusive track from the same sessions that yielded their pending SLN full length debut, "A Surefire Way To Get Sober".  Oh, and please welcome The Animal Steel to the SLN family!  This flexi disc marks the first physical release by The Animal Steel (FKA Dangerous Friends) and comes on a translucent blue square 7" with a double-sided cover insert and download code.  Beginning today, 20% of every 'Smooth Jazz Chords' purchase (both flexi and digital) will be donated to Save Our Stages.  
 
Charlie Continental's 'We're Getting Fixed (The Grawlix Save The World) [Original]' is the theme song to the podcast The Grawlix Saves The World and was previously only available digitally.  Charlie Continental & Heaty Beat's 'We're Getting Fixed (The Grawlix Save The World) [Remix] is just that, a remix of the original song as performed and recorded by the sensational Heaty Beat.  As you might recall, Heaty Beat previously remixed Charlie Continental's 'Quit Wastin' My Time', the theme song to the truTV show Those Who Can't.  The translucent green square 7" flexi disc pairs both of these songs together and comes with a double-sided cover insert and download code.  This is the only format that these two songs come together on.  Charlie's Original & Edit were digitally released a few months back and Heaty Beat's Remix makes it's debut on the flexi disc and will be a separate digital single.  Also, beginning today, 20% of every purchase/donation (both flexi and digital) of any and all versions of 'We're Getting Fixed (The Grawlix Save The World)' will be donated to Black Lives Matter
