DIRTY LOOKS / BOSSY from Salinas
BUY 7" • $3.25

Both bands are ex-Bent Outta Shape. Bossy is female-fronted three-piece pop, with clean guitar and light-hearted lyrics. Dirty Looks are melodic punk, and anything but light-hearted.

DRUNKEN BOAT "Drunken Boat" from Salinas/1-2-3-4-Go!
BUY LP • $7.00
BUY CD • $7.00

Urgent, beautiful, rough around the edges, intelligent punk from Portland, OR. Possibly the best band of this style since Crimpshrine.

Stream: "Keeponkeeponkeepon" MP3

DRUNKEN BOAT "Turn It" from Salinas
BUY 7" • $3.25

DRUNKEN BOAT / BENT OUTTA SHAPE from Salinas
BUY 7" • $3.25

A re-release of a great split that was originally out on Drunk Tank Records. Now in its third pressing.

DRUNKEN BOAT / BLOTTO from Salinas
BUY 7" • $3.25

ERGS / MODERN MACHINES from Salinas
BUY 7" • $3.25

GIBBONS "Hope, Inc." from Salinas
BUY LP • $7.00
BUY CD • $5.50

Often compared to early Lawrence Arms, the Gibbons seamlessly blend the personal and political over melancholy chords, delivered with a sincere urgency.

HOT NEW MEXICANS "It's Called Leaning Back" from Salinas
BUY CD • $5.50

Stripped down blend of punk, alt. country, and good old rock'n'roll. The Replacements and even really early Wilco come to mind.

KARATE FOR KIDS / FRAME from Salinas
BUY 7" • $3.25

Karate for Kids play wild-man political pop punk: sometimes reckless, but always poignant. Frame's side is intricate anthemic melodic punk.

LEMURIA / FRAME from Salinas
BUY 7" • $3.25

Lemuria draws heavily from pop-punk and early 90s indie rock influences, contributing two incredibly pretty sing alongs. Frame plays anthemic post-punk with a lot of energy and formidable musicianship. Both bands are from New York, the State.

MODERN MACHINES / THE MEASURE from Salinas
BUY 7" • $3.25

The Modern Machines are frequently compared to the Replacements and Husker Du because of their well-written rock'n'rolly punk with attention paid to detail. The Measure (sa) side features a sing along anthem and a cover of Bob Dylan's "It ain't me babe."

MONIKERS / URCHIN from Salinas
BUY 7" • $3.25

Two new songs from each band. Melodic punk from all over the world!

MUMBLER "Winter of Our Discontent" from Salinas
BUY 7" • $2.75

Dark pop-punk with throaty vocals. The lyrics are personal; lamenting booze, midwestern Winters and depression while celebrating booze, friendships, and basement shows.

NORTH LINCOLN "Apology" from The Support Group/Salinas
BUY 7" • $2.75
BUY CDep • $4.25

Six songs!

NORTH LINCOLN / GIBBONS from Salinas
BUY 7" • $3.25

ONE REASON "Mountains" from Salinas
BUY 7" • $3.25

One Reason from Bloomington, IN are liked across scene lines. They play well written, well executed melodic punk songs that draw from Southern and indie rock as much as punk. This is the follow up to their full-length on Plan-it-X and split with Defiance, Ohio.

ONE REASON / BECAUSE from Salinas
BUY 7" • $3.25

Japan's The Because have been releasing incredible 7" after incredible 7" and it's time for North America to take notice: incredibly dynamic and powerful punk anthems infused with rock'n'roll. One Reason from Bloomington, IN offer up one new original and an Erin Tobey cover.

POTBOILER "Izzy Alcantara" from Salinas
BUY 7" • $3.25

Back in stock! Brooklyn via New Paltz party-punk that is actually quite complex and kind of dark under a closer inspection. Equally perfect for a rowdy basement show, or a lonesome night of record therapy.

THE MEASURE "Historical Fiction" from Salinas/Don Giovanni
BUY LP • $7.00
BUY CD • $9.10

Debut LP from New Brunswick's The Measure (SA). 14 songs including "Little Things" and "Just Go." Coming from a long Jersey tradition of exceptional music for working folks, the Measure (SA) combine solid melodies, booze and distorted folk chords. For fans of the Clash, American Steel, and Billy Bragg. Split release with Salinas.

THE MEASURE "Means to an End" from Salinas
BUY 7" • $3.25

The last three Measure songs with Mike on guitar!

UNWELCOME GUESTS / ORPHAN CHOIR from Salinas
BUY 7" • $3.25

"Two cold-weather bands: Orphan Choir of Windsor, Ontraio (Canaduh!) and Unwelcome Guests from Buffalo, NY both play melodic punk with just a hint of alt-country, as is evidenced by the harmonica and steel-guitar on this record."

USED KIDS "Hoovercraft" from Salinas
BUY 7" • $3.25

Danny + Nato (Modern Machines) with Mikey Ergs! and Kate from Cheeky!

V/A - WAR ON TERRORISM from Salinas
BUY 7" • $2.75

The Gibbons, Mumbler, Megan Kott and Caulfield offer one urgent protest song each. Three melodic yet angry punk songs, and one pretty but similarly angry folk tune.
