Our Label News Has A New Home!

 

Loyal followers already know, but our label news and updates transitioned over to our Web Store platform earlier this year.  We were double-posting (here and the Web Store) in January so folks could get accustomed to the fresh spot for all the exciting happenings in the world of SLN. Starting now, all label news and updates will be found in the Label News section of our Web Store exclusively.  This site will remain up as a legacy of our activity from 2011-2020.  Who knows, maybe we'll find other stuff to do with it too!  Send suggestions if ya like.  We'll of course be keeping up with all the socials still.  Thanks for following us here and see ya at the new place!

SLN-203eeeeeeee From Way Downtown!

 

Y'all just got dunked on!  The debut album from despAIR jordan, “Before Your Wings Gave Out” is officially out now. The album features 6 songs of well-crafted, angular post-punk.  It definitely runs as a long player with each song being a mini saga full of energy and emotion.  despAIR Jordan may be a new band, but they are already masters at their craft, blending elements of late 70’s/early 80’s UK post-punk with the modern pop-sensibilities of more recent post-punk and post-hardcore acts. You can order the digital long player in our Web Store HERE, as well as on our bandcampHERE. It’s also streaming on all the usual spots. If “Before Your Wings Gave Out” is what the band can bring on their first effort, imagine where they’ll go from here!

State Drugs Wants To Share The Love!

Wanna know what’s sweet?!  A new album from State Drugs!  “Live. Laugh. Love.” is set for release on Valentine’s Day, 2/14/21. Whether or not you’re a fan of the so-called “holiday”, ya gotta love new music from a great band!  State Drugs is a band from Denver, CO that try their best to make catchy yet refined songs, like the kind they would have listened to 20 years ago. "It’s like the Gin Blossoms if only Dave Lombardo played drums" said some drunk passerby one time.  Slowly birthed at the end of 2015-early 2016 from fragments of songs hibernating on a hard drive, State Drugs released 3 EP's before partnering with ours truly and Toxic Pop Records to release a collections LP titled "Takings and Leaving" in 2019.  Now, the band is set to unleash their new LP, "Live. Laugh. Love.", which we are releasing in partnership with Ashtray Monument Records. You can pre-order the vinyl LP in our Web Store HERE right now (be sure to check out the appropriately themed limited bonus sleeve print editions)!  You'll get lead single 'Threat Level Midnight' right away and the full album on release day. The LP is $15.00 (with download of course) and the digital long player is pay-what-you-want. The standard edition LP is also available on our bandcamp HERE, along with 'Threat Level Midnight'. This is our first 12” vinyl LP of 2021 and we’re darn happy to share it with all our friends & fans so soon!

SLN-201 Is Here To Begin The 2021 Release Schedule!

The new digital single from Scooter James, "Way Too Heavy b/w Felt The Sun", is out now!  It's a nuanced entry into the expansive catalog of one of Colorado's most storied songwriters. Two cool tunes delivered in the stripped back approach that Scooter has been utilizing the last few years. These songs are not the more straightforward acoustic style that lots of punk singers come to when they want to lay back, but are diverse and ethereal pieces that push and pull while still being anchored by an acoustic guitar and warm voice.  It's the evolution of your favorite hardcore troubadour, Scooter James.  You can download the full digital single from our Web Store HERE or from out bandcamp HERE.  It can also be found on all your favorite digitized/streamitized services.  Thanks for joining us for another year packed full of great music!

Empty Palace has returned and is ready to take over 2021! Their new album, "Secret Names" will be released on 2/5/21.  It is a perfect journey of psychedelic space-rock with the future-punk attitude that has always been a hallmark of Empty Palace.  You can pre-order the Cassette or Digital Long Player from our Web Store HERE.  You'll get lead single 'The Fool' right away and the full album on release day.  The cassette is $7.00 (with download of course) and the digital long player is pay-what-you-want.  The cassette is also available on our bandcamp HERE, along with 'The Fool'.  Beginning 2/5/21, "Secret Names" will also be available as a digital pay-what-you-want album on our bandcamp.  This is another early example of how we're trying to keep current with how people support and listen to music.  Physical releases going forward will be available on both our Web Store and bandcamp, just like digital releases will be available on both.  We think this approach will work well, feel free to let us know your thoughts on everything!  Find us at snappylittlenumbers@gmail.com. Thanks as always, there's lots more to come this year!

2021 Is Here! We're turning 10 years old!

 

In case you missed it, 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.  The design has gotten a nice new facelift.  We're building a full artist roster section and have completed a full discography section.  We've condensed our offerings down to what's currently available so the site is faster to navigate.  We're adding preview tracks to our Web Store descriptions and we're now offering full digital releases of all 2021 titles (and onward) in our own Web Store as well as offering physical releases of all 2021 titles (and onward) on our bandcamp. That means that whether you buy from our Web Store or bandcamp, corresponding downloads will now be directly available instead of waiting for download codes to come in with your order.  With that, many of our releases will begin moving to pay-what-you-want for digital versions.  SLN friends and fans have always been generous, so we're just gonna trust everyone to find their balance of helping artists (and causes still) while maintaining a budget. More info on what else 2021 will bring is forthcoming, but this year will be our 10th Anniversary!  We have some cool plans for that. Oh! We've also learned how to use the "news" feature on our Web Store, so we'll be transitioning our updates to that over the next few months so you only have to go to one site for news, music and other paraphernalia. Start checking the newest News here! This site will remain intact as a legacy of nearly 10 great years. Thanks and happy new year!
