New Releases From Glass Hits And SPELLS To Close Out The Year!

It's been a big year for SLN, but we're not quite done.  December 20th will see the release of the new Glass Hits LP titled "Better Never Than Late", as well as a Cassingle by SPELLS simply called "Double Cassingle".  That's right, cassette tapes!  They're still analog so no worries there.  We've updated our sampler with new tracks from both of these pending releases so cruise to the left and rock 'em loud.  More info is coming, but the cover art is posted here and the release show is all set for December 20th at lovely 3 Kings in Denver.  Get pumped folks!

New Bagged Set For Record Store Day Black Friday 2013!

That's right music brethren, the Snappy Little Numbers Quality Audio Recordings "Segundo Y Tercer Años" Bagged Set is being assembled and will roll as a Record Store Day Black Friday 2013 Special that will only be available at Wax Trax and Mutiny Information Cafe in Denver on November 29.  We'll keep a few available directly through our mailorder (for the out-of-towners) while supplies last.  The sets are comprised of our next 4 7"ers since the previous set- Friends Of Cesar Romero "Red Headed Strangler b/w Tammys Of Tomorrow", Empty Palace S/T E.P., The Knew "What's Hip (Long Walk) b/w World War Ay Ay Ay (Alright)" and SPELLS "Take Time/Slice Away".  The standard Retail Editions come in full color high quality off-white sleeves on randomly mixed color vinyl 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.  The collector catch this year is that there will be four different color variations for the covers- green, orange, blue and purple.  We don't even know how many of each yet!  It is being left to fate (aka the printer) as we type.  True rarities for the collector that could one day pay for a midlife crisis.  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, fans and talented artists that made our second and third years so bitchin'!

Hooper LP Officially Out Now!

"How To Become A Ghost", the debut LP from Hooper, is out now.  Like, right now!  Go to our STORE and order yourself a copy.  Heck, get one for a friend too!  The lovely 12" LP's are pressed on 150g Black Vinyl and come with a Download Code.  Digi-fans can hit up our bandcamp to grab the album for a great price.  This LP picks up where Hooper's classic 7" left off: early 90's 'College Rock' guitars with late 90's 'Pop Punk' melodies and a dash of different tempos to keep listeners on their toes.  How can you beat that?  Aside from our store, the records will be hitting Denver shops shortly with distros soon to follow.  All your fave digi-markets will have the album as well.  Don't forget that the band will of course have them at shows too.  Go see 'em live in concert!  We're excited to have our first LP out in the world and we congratulate Hooper on their stunning achievement!  Pressing Info: 300 12" LP's on 150g black vinyl
