Two New Releases Coming Soon! Glass Hits Contest!

Let's get 2014 going!  Next up on the release schedule is a Double Cassingle by Denver's own Shining Wires, due out late winter.  You can check out a track on our updated sampler to the left, or download the whole sampler HERE for free.  Fans of smart pop-punk will dig!  Start warming up your voices now, every tune is a sing-a-long toe-tapper.  Around the same time will be a fresh Single from garage stomp neo-legends, Friends Of Cesar Romero.  It's fitting that they'll usher back in our favorite format, the 7" 45 vinyl single!  Here's something cool to close out this update: for you Instagram types, go find @purgeb4ubinge and enter the contest for a free copy of the Glass Hits limited edition version of their "Better Never Than Late" LP.  You know, the rad clear/black split color vinyl with special screened/stamped sleeves one that you should have ordered already!  Just find the contest pic before February 1st, then repost and tag #glasshits and #snappylittlenumbers. Very cool!  Don't sleep on this record fans, supplies are dwindling on the limited edition batch.  OK, type at y'all soon!

Hello 2014 And Welcome Suspect Press!

We hope our loyal followers are having a radical 2014 so far.  Some of our friends sure are.  A few buddies of ours started a new zine here in Denver called Suspect Press in the closing days of 2013.  It's a print zine for cryin' out loud!  We like that a lot.  They also have a blog that ties in to the print version HERE.  Check 'em out and put 'em on your faves list for 2014.  While you're cruising the blog, check out the great reviews on the summer 7"ers from SPELLS and The Knew.  Suspect Press clearly has excellent taste and we thank them for that.

Can't Stop The Presses!

Wow, it's been a banner year for Snappy Little Numbers Quality Audio Recordings!  Thanks to all of our friends and fans for the support.  We'd also like to thank our media pals for the lavish attention they bestowed upon our artists.  There's even been a little bit more that we wanna share with y'all...

The Knew had a Daytrotter Session!  Check that out HERE.  They also got a nice write-up recently over at I Buy Way Too Many Records.

Speaking of I Buy Way Too Many Records, Hooper got an excellent review HERE and made their year-end best list HERE.  As if that's not awesome enough, Westword has Hooper as one of their 2013 Music Moovers and Shakers!

SPELLS made a year-end best list over at the fabulous Literati Records with a track off their debut 7".  Check it HERE.  They also got a couple interviews in with Reverb and Westword ahead of their cassingle release show.  To top it all off, Westword also listed SPELLS as one of their Music Moovers and Shakers for 2013!

To keep the year-end best motif going, check out the Empty Palace spot over at Go Start Your Own Band.

We look forward to sharing the heaps of praise that Glass Hits and SPELLS are sure to get in the new year with their new releases hitting media mailboxes right about now.  Up next on the release schedule is the Shining Wires cassingle and a new Friends Of Cesar Romero 45!

SLN-111 And SLN-113 Have Touched Down!

The new Glass Hits LP "Better Never Than Late" and the new SPELLS Cassingle "Double Cassingle" are officially out right this second!  Go to our STORE and order yourself a pair.  Digi-fans can hit up our bandcamp to grab both releases for a low price.

 

For Glass Hits, "Better Never Than Late" is a continued culmination of shared vision and punk-rock pedigree. Adding a new taste to an old process, they manage to further explore the ideas and sounds of the 90's underground scene on which they cut their teeth.  The first 100 LP's are on ultra-cool split clear/black vinyl and come in a silk screened/hand stamped outer sleeve that houses the regular jacket too.  Cause Medic Ink did a badass job on them!  

As for SPELLS, “Double Cassingle” contains four sure-fire hits that are sure to distract you from the worst 10 minutes of your day and probably turn them into the best 10 minutes of your day.  The cassette tapes are available in a trio of colors.  Life's about choices after all! 

 

Aside from our store, the audio recordings will be hitting Denver shops shortly with distros right behind.  All the finest digi-markets will have the tunes as well.  We're pumped to have our second LP and first Cassette out in the universe. Be sure to see both bands live in concert!  Glass Hits Pressing Info: 100 12" LP's on split clear/black vinyl with silk screened/hand stamped outer sleeves (original jackets inside), 200 12" LP's on black vinyl.  Download code included.  SPELLS Pressing Info: 50 red tapes, 50 green tapes, 100 purple tapes.  Download code included.

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
