Lighting Cult has just released a fresh new single called 'La Brea' from their forthcoming debut album (title TBD) that is in the finishing touches stage of production. Check the tune out on our bandcamp HERE, as well as all your other fave digi-streams places. Mike Marchant and Luke Bern Carr have been in creative quarantine mode at an undisclosed location in Santa Fe, NM the last few months and as this single indicates, it's been time incredibly well spent. More info on the full length to come, but it's gonna be another SLN smash!

V/A "Charlie Continental's Community Tune Garden, Version 1.0" is a compilation of original songs recorded for a song-sharing
project initiated by Chuck Coffey (aka Charlie Continental) based off of an idea by Rob Burleson (aka #3). Round 1 of the results have come in and the EP is comprised of standout efforts from the aforementioned Charlie Continental (SPELLS, Bad Year, Eyes & Ears) as well as Chris Kuhn (State Drugs, Pulling Teeth, Integrity), Julie D (The Drolls, Guest Directors, Chinchilla) and Nuevo Leon (aka Trevor McMorris- Hooper, Big Timber, Bailer). They are neatly packaged as the first installment in our 2020 Hand Dubbed Buddies Club:
ultra limited cassettes, hand dubbed, hand numbered and personalized.
This year we're changing things up and only producing HDBC cassettes for
a short period, with a production duration ending one month after the
initial release date. Consumers can choose either Gold or Gray tapes, no
subscription required and either color will be numbered and
personalized in green. HDBC cassettes are only available through us or
the artists directly! V/A "Charlie Continental's Community Tune Garden, Version 1.0" will be out on 7/23/20 and it's now up for pre-order in our Web Store HERE. It will also be available on bandcamp and all the usual digital/streaming platforms. More info on the project can be found HERE and proceeds from the sale of this release are benefiting the ACLU. Version 1.1 isn't far behind, hit us up if you'd like to contribute a track. More info coming soon on the future of the project. Thanks for the continued support friends and fans!

We here at the SLN Starship are taking advantage of our Web Store's technology and offering most of our digital-only releases right there direct. With no middle person involved, any digital download purchases made in our Web Store will provide our artists with a little bump in revenue. Imagine being able to turn a medium coffee into a large without going into debt! Same goes for any of our benefit tracks, although instead of coffee the organizations can put the money to better use. You can still find all our releases digitally on bandcamp and all other reputable digital download/streaming platforms. Thanks so much for the continued support!
