Seasonal Bonus Time For SLN Shoppers!


AWESOME SURPRISE GIFT TIME!  

We don't really do big sales or holiday specials, but since we're a small independent business and we encourage others to support small independent businesses, we still wanna do something cool for our loyal fans and friends.  

Through the rest of 2020, any order from our Web Store will come with a 

FREE SURPRISE GIFT!  

Whatever you order, we'll toss something similar in we think you'd like from the catalog.  If you buy an LP, expect a gift LP.  If you buy a 7", expect a gift 7" and so on. Oh, you better believe this gift deal is stackable! Buy 2 things, get 2 gifts etc.  We're good at pickin' stuff (insert nose joke here), but feel free to send suggestions of what you might like gifted to you with your regular purchase. No promises we can oblige, but maybe you'll get lucky.  We have some various t-shirts and hats that we just found, so if you want your gift to be apparel, send your shirt size with your suggestions.  The apparel selections feature SLN, SPELLS, Bad Year and Sophisticated Boom Boom. It's our little way of saying "thanks", plus we gotta make room for all the dooooope 2021 stuff coming your way!

Welcome Gentlemen Rogues! New 7" Single Coming 12/4/20!

 
We are pleased to announce another fresh addition to the SLN talent roster- Gentlemen RoguesThe Austin, TX-based foursome celebrate aggressive guitar pop with punk-inflected energy, polished, precise songwriting, and hooks as sharp and sleek as the Rickenbackers they bang them out on. They are a band for Now People that consistently cranks out catchy, amplified treble kickers that mix powder keg intensity, classic melodies, and brash theatrics into a 200-proof distillation of brazen rock ‘n’ roll. The release date for their new 7" single, "Do The Resurrection! b/w Bloody Rudderless (In Ursa Major)" is 12/4/20. Pre-orders for the 7" are up in our WEB STORE (there are limited art print editions and standard editions, all on milky clear & black half-n-half vinyl), plus you can hear 'Do The Resurrection!' via our SNAPPY LITTLE SAMPLER on bandcamp.  You should also check out the official premier for 'Do The Resurrection!' over at American Songwriter if you missed it earlier.  Gentlemen Rogues craft the wormiest of earworms and if you don't know, now you know!

V/A "Charlie Continental's Community Tune Garden, Version 1.1" (SLN-191.1/HDBC-008) is out now! It's the second compilation featuring 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 2 of the results have come in and the EP is comprised of excellent submissions from Joaquin Liebert (The Redemptions, The Risk, The Reckless Nights), Mortality (aka Jonathon- The Misfires, Signal To Trust) plus an alternate version of the aforementioned Charlie Continental's (SPELLS, Bad Year, Eyes & Ears) tune from the first comp.  The songs are neatly packaged as the second and final installment in our 2020 Hand Dubbed Buddies Club: ultra limited cassettes, hand dubbed, hand numbered and personalized. This year we changed things up by 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! More info on the Community Tune Garden project can be found on Charlie Continental's BLOG. Order a Gold or Gray CCCTGV1.1 cassette (download link included) through our WEB STORE now before it goes out of print on 12/6/20 at 11:59pm MST! The digital version is up on our BANDCAMP and there is no expiration on that. The comp will hit all of the other digital platforms on 12/1/20.   Proceeds from cassette/digital sales and bandcamp donations are benefiting the ACLU.  Thank you for any and all support!  Pressing Info: SLN-191.1/HDBC-008- Hand Dubbed Buddies Club ultra limited cassettes (gold or gray), hand numbered and personalized. Only available for a limited time (production ends 12/6/20) directly from SLN or the artists. Download link included.
