The First Hit From SPELLS Is Here!

SPELLS just wrapped their first recording session at The Furnace Room and we've acquired a demo to share with the world at large.  "Left Behind" is a poppy little number with a wink and a sneer.  Stream it on our SoundCloud widget or hit bandcamp to download it with the rest of our sampler!  Two of the tracks that SPELLS recorded will be released as a 45 single later this Spring.  Stay tuned for that pending radness!

Another Choice Addition To The Team!


 It's 'Talent Grab 2013' over here at SLN HQ!  Hot on the heels of announcing the addition of SPELLS, we are pleased as punch to welcome Empty Palace from Los Angeles, CA.  That's right folks, perfectly sunny 24/7 LA.  Empty Palace features the core duo of Patrick Houston and Jason Walker (formerly of Denver legends Brainhammer and Angels Never Answer) and a recently solidified lineup of ultra-capable mates.  Think New Wave Of British Heavy Metal with a Deep Purple influence and future-punk sheen and that's where Empty Palace settles into the sound spectrum.  We'll be issuing their Toshi Kasai-produced debut EP this Spring.  Last post we mentioned garage wunderkinds SPELLS coming aboard, but didn't say too much about 'em.  They're a little reclusive, but we got a hold of a publicity photo so you can meet the boys: Lil' Stevie Shithead, Charlie 'Continental' Stimsell, Duke 'Box' Standard and Pete Bohner.  You can get a sample of tunes by SPELLS and Empty Palace via our updated SoundCloud widget or Bandcamp sampler.  Be sure to visit their websites through the links on our sidebar too.  Cheers!

Hello 2013!

Ah, the new year is upon us so here's a little shop-talk to tide you over for now!  First off, we'd like to welcome a new addition to the talent roster... SPELLS.  We'll be issuing the debut single from this hot new Denver act as soon as freakin' possible!  Hooper is almost done recording a full length album and we hope to have that out as soon as freakin' possible too.  More to come as 2013 unfolds...

Cassettes! News!

We're still adding to our Snappy Little Distro.  We've now expanded to include cassettes!  You know, tapes.  Radical!  Visit our Store and check 'em out.  Included are some of our favourite Canadian bands like The White Wires and The Ketamines, courtesy of Hosehead Records.  We also have a couple selections by Thee Oh Sees by way of Burger Records.  In other news, it's looking like 25 Rifles will be doing their own single and that we'll be doing something else with Glass Hits.  More on that later.  We have a couple other things in the works for next year but you'll have to wait until 2013 for further details.  Thanks friends and fans!

Friends Of Cesar Romero Stuff!

Here comes more licks and kicks from the formidable catalog of J. Waylon Miller as he and his band of below-fi royalty, Friends of Cesar Romero, release their third album of the year. The ten track basement opus, "Zeppelin Three (or How I Spent My Bummer Vacation)", is a mixed bag of pop-offs, proving that JWM is what we talk about when we talk about range.  Grab it at their bandcamp site HERE.  In other FOCR business, check out this bitchin' review of the "Red Headed Strangler b/w Tammys Of Tomorrow" 7" courtesy of Razorcake.  That's it for now folks!

Hey We Got Stickers Now!

That's right, you read correctly.  We have a fresh batch of classy looking stickers designed by our very own Art Director, Jennifer Callaway-Dewey.  As you can see they are quite sharp, 3" circle style.  How can you get one you ask?  Just order some of our hit records and one (maybe more!) will be included, along with one of our most recent advert-card type things we mentioned awhile back.  You might see some floating around Denver record stores like Wax Trax in the near future too.  Also, if you see Chuck out and about maybe you can bug him for a couple.  Start thinking of all the ways you'll be able to deck out your room, locker, whatevs with SLN paraphernalia!

Great New LP's Just Added To The Distro!

We're continuing to add to our Snappy Little Distro!  Aside from already having records from such fantastic labels as Dirtnap, Grave Mistake, Strictly No Capital Letters, Paco Garden etc... we've just added a slew of LP's courtesy of Midwest titans Dead Beat Records.  Head over to our Store and check out the offerings from TRMRS, Uzi Rash, Dead Germans (ex-Digital Leather/Brimstone Howl) and many more.  We plan to keep building the distro and our shipping prices are still capped at $3.50 per order.  What a deal!

Bandcamp Revamp: All Our Releases, More Titles In The Archives!

We just revamped our bandcamp site to include digital versions of all our releases!  While we are big vinyl fans and think lots of you are too, we wanted to be able to offer our titles for download at very friendly pricing.  Our records will continue to come with download codes, but if you just want the tunes they're just a click away!  While we were at it, we posted more true Denver classics in the Snappy Little Archives/Not Bad Historical Preservation Society.  After many inquiries, "Put 'Er There" from Denver legends Qualm is finally available digitally.  Also included is the self-titled EP by Still Left Standing and "Dead Scene" by The Messyhairs.  Those two were originally released by our old pal Johnny via his Seven Lucky Records imprint.  We also posted the first Mustangs And Madras EP.  See and hear all the recent doings HERE.  In the coming months we're going to keep going and get some Paco Garden Records titles up too.  Thanks-a-plenty folks, talk at y'all later!

New Records In The Distro!

You may have noticed that we created a Snappy Little Store over the summer. Part of the store includes our Snappy Little Distro and we've slowly been adding titles. The latest batch warrants a post though. We have finally added some 7"s from one of Denver's most legendary labels, Paco Garden Records! Paco Garden was a Denver fixture throughout most of the 90's and early 00's and released records by some fantastic bands like Four! and The Messyhairs. Not Bad World Industries inherited the catalog from pal and PG owner Dave awhile back and now we have what's left. Cruise on over to the store and pick out an old fave to catch up on! We've also printed off a round of new posters and flyers featuring the Snappy Little Numbers catalog. We'll toss in a cool full-color flyer with any order as well as some of the usual extras we like to throw on top of an order before we seal and ship. It's always a good time for record buyin' and we appreciate it when you buy from us!

Awesome New Addition To The Archives!

Fresh up in the Snappy Little Archives is a gem of a release.  "Caution:Bang" is the final recording from Denver's late, great Mustangs And Madras.  Go HERE to check it out.  The four tunes were originally recorded in 2010 for a potential split with another band on their then-label, Latest Flame. It didn't materialize, 'Stangs broke up and these tunes are now seeing the light of day as a digi-EP through our Archives.  Members have gone on to Native Daughters and Pink Hawks among other things.  Classic stuff from a great band!

New Stuff On The Horizon!

The logo to the right serves as a little hint about what's coming up later this year.  25 Rifles and Glass Hits will be doing a split 7" EP together and we are quite excited.  25 Rifles issued their first 7" EP through us last year to rave reviews and we are totally psyched to welcome Denver's post-punk powerhouse Glass Hits to our roster of stars.  Check out their track on our widget and sampler.  More info on the split later on.  In other news, we've added the Snappy Little Store for your shopping needs and it includes our Snappy Little Distro to boot.  Browse around and pick up a little something if you feel like it.  Finally, Hooper has been in the studio recording new material.  We're not sure what it will yield, but we're sure it will be rad and we hope to be involved in some sort of stellar release.  Until next time folks!
