Razorcake Double-Digs The Manxx!

The punk rock print and web institution know as Razorcake recently featured not one, but two bitchin' reviews of the "Messin' Around" single by The Manxx.  We already know that every record we release is a smash, but it's quite nice when others take notice.  The review by contributor Bryan Static can be found HERE, while the review by super-punk-rock-famous contributor Rev Norb (Boris The Sprinkler anyone?) can be found HERE.  Thanks Razorcakers!

Another New Digi-Single Hits The Archives!

"Silver Ceiling" is a new digi-single by a new act, On Holiday.  Filed under Modern Classics, Snappy Little Archives is branching out to include digi-only releases by current artists.  Jenny Calgary and Charlie Continental make up the duo that is On Holiday.  They occasionally gather to dabble in lo-fi electro-pop-whatever and "Silver Ceiling" is the earliest result.  Head HERE to check it out.  You might notice there isn't a song called Silver Ceiling.  We think that might be On Holiday's "thing" when naming releases.  We like it.  The trusty crew at SLN will be sure to holler when we have another Modern Classic to share.  iMuchas Gracias!

Spring News Blurb!

We hope everyone had fun on Record Store Day!  We sure did.  You'll notice we've added the El Primer Año set to the sales column.  We saved a couple so those that don't live near Wax Trax can grab one.  Our newest roster addition, Friends Of Cesar Romero, have finished recording for their Snappy Little Numbers debut Single!  We are so excited!  Check out the demo track that we've added to our Soundcloud Widget.  We've also updated the Snappy Little Sampler on bandcamp to include FOCR.  Look for the Single to hit early summer.  They also just released a new digi-album so go to their site for more info.  In more band news, 25 Rifles is back in action!  They'll be playing a couple shows over the summer and have plans to record new stuff.  Before we go, we have some new retail partners.  You can now get our records in the Denver area at Black & Read.  We've also added UK distribution through our new friends at Strictly No Capital Letters.  They rule.  OK, this seems like plenty of news for now.  Talk at y'all later!

RSD 2012 Bagged Set Lowdown!

OK music aficionados, here's the lowdown on the Snappy Little Numbers Quality Audio Recordings "El Primer Año" Bagged Set.  Yep, we're going with "bagged" since it's not really "boxed".  As previously mentioned, these sets are a Record Store Day 2012 Special that will only be available at Wax Trax in Denver on April 21 and directly through our mailorder (we'll have a couple for the out-of-towners) while supplies last.  The sets are comprised of our first 4 releases- Eyes & Ears/Snake Mountain "Split Single", 25 Rifles "History Of Flags" E.P., The Manxx "Messin' Around b/w Hard Lessons" and Hooper "The Shallows b/w 100 Acre Slingshot".  The standard Retail Editions come in gold sparkle sleeves with download codes.  They are a Limited Edition of 20, all hand-numbered.  There are also a small handful of Key Stakeholder Editions that will be handed out to our staff, business partners and a few lucky fans.  These will pop up in the aforementioned gold sparkle sleeves as well as silver sparkle, white pearl and rose pearl sleeves.  True rarities for the collector.  We can only assume that the future worth of the Retail Editions could pay for someone to go through college and that the Key Stakeholder Editions could pay for a private island.  Record Store Day is a fun way to support small, independent, local businesses.  We think everyday is a great day for that too.  Many thanks to all of our friends and fans that made our first year so awesome!

Three New Rippers Up On The Archives!

There is a brand new digi-single in the Snappy Little Archives courtesy of the Young Hellions.  Young Hellions was (is?) comprised of salty rock vets from outfits such as The Reddmen, Snake Mountain and Eyes & Ears.  Legend has it that one snowy weekend in December 2009 Bryce "The Beast" McPherson and Chuck "Papa Bear" Coffey went to Rapid City to start a cross-state project with Johnny "J. Waylon Porcupine" Miller. They gathered for 36 hours and recorded 3 songs with Bryce on vocals/guitar, Chuck on bass/vocals and Johnny on drums/vocals. After a celebratory dinner, Bryce and Chuck drove off into the night back to Denver. The end. Or is it?!  Go HERE to have a listen.
