SLN-106 Has Landed On Earth!

Some say Judas Priest lost their metal-lovin’ minds when they decided to let synthesizers seep into their sound circa 1985’s Turbo. Empty Palace could not care less. The Los Angeles outfit takes classic metal songcraft, NWOBHM bombast, and the chiseled precision of Reagan (Thatcher?) Era stadium rock—then they ram it down your unsuspecting
throat. But frontman Patrick Houston and drummer Jason Walker (formerly of Denver legends Brainhammer and Angels Never Answer, among sundry other acts of sonic tomfoolery) don’t stop there. Lo and behold, the group’s debut EP blends the mythopoeic majesty of ’80s Blue Öyster Cult—yeah, the new-wave sounding stuff that’s way, way better than you remember—with melody, dynamism, and even hints of balladry. Like the iron fist of an android knight, it pummels with the single-minded purity of deathless life. Call it turbo-injected, if you wish. Produced by Toshi Kasai (ex-Big Business).  This Self-Titled EP comes on 7" vinyl, spins at 33 1/3 RPM and comes housed in a custom sleeve.  Download Code included.  Order through us right now!  Stores and distros will be getting them soon and the band will have a release show next month in LA, CA. 
Pressing Info: 300 on randomly mixed color vinyl

Please Welcome The Knew!

Yes indeed, The Knew is coming on board for a brand new 45RPM 7" Single.  We sure are glad to have 'em too!  The soon-to-be A-Side, "What's Hip (Long Walk)", is a bouncy tune that brings to mind mid-70's power-pop with some proto-punk/pub-rock influence.  Simply stated, it's catchy!  Stream it on our SoundCloud widget or visit bandcamp to download it with our freshly updated sampler!  The Single will be out in June, shortly after the Empty Palace EP lands and a little before the SPELLS Single drops.  It's gonna be a busy summer!

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!

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!
