Trash Talk has a new album on the Odd Future label that came out Tuesday on CD (we’ll have it in tomorrow) and it will be out on LP next month. This short feature (about 7 minutes) captures the general spirit of the band and even has some of their music in it – get trash’d! (It’s more fun to use apostrophes than the letter “e.”)


Evan Weiss is the mastermind behind Into It. Over It., a project spawned from the idea of writing one song a week for an entire year. He’s also a long time friend of the shop. Evan will be hitting the road soon with a full band this time, making an appearance in Hartford w/ Hostage Calm, Make Do And Mend, The World is a Beautiful Place & I am No Longer Afraid to Die, & Slingshot Dakota. Check out this video released yesterday for, “Embracing Facts”, a song off 2011’s “Proper.”



Hey y’all, Caren here. I’ll be filling in here at the shop for the remainder of the weekend. Redscroll Records gets a ton of rad represses and reissues in here daily, but I’ve been most excited to get my hands on a copy of Lungfish‘s “Talking Songs For Walking.” After being out of print for quite a while, Dischord Records recently remastered and repressed this amazing record, and we have it here now.


the Mountain Goats have a new album out. This is a new video for a song from that. Arrangements in Americana. I like to follow John Darnielle on twitter because he says funny things. (Sean)



Cult of Youth have a new video for a song off their latest LP offering from Sacred Bones Records. It’s a lovely dark folk song with imagery that lines up well with its sounds. They’re also starting a tour tonight in Boston and will be in NYC tomorrow with SLUG GUTS who just played in Hartford on Sunday.


The BESTIAL MOUTHS release on Dais Records last year was one of my favorites of 2011. This new single has me salivating for more. Dark wailing goth rock. (Rick)

Third Man Rolling Record Store: Here Saturday

Third Man Rolling Record Store: Here Saturday

 Yes, it is completely true, the Third Man Rolling Record Store will be here Saturday. Just in case you didn’t know: Third Man Records is Jack White’s (The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, Dead Weather,…) record label. He also has a store by the same name in Nashville, TN where he often has bands play and then he often records and releases those on his label (the Third Man Live series).  The truck will be here from 6-8PM on Saturday as denoted by their schedule here.

The Third Man Rolling Record Store from Third Man Records on Vimeo.

It is very much like a food truck, but, y’ know without food and with records:



We’re also hoping to have a nice surprise we’ve had in our minds for a long little while and in the works for just an actual little while. We had planned on revealing the surprise I’m speaking of during our Blackout At Sunrise Sale, but why wait. You’ll see, it’s worth this note at the very least. 

Ok, back to the Third Man Rolling Record Store. You can follow it on twitter here. Again, it will be in our lot from 6PM-8PM on this Saturday (October 20, 2012). Much as with a food truck it will be rolling in and the folks in the truck (I’m afraid Mr. Jack White will most likely not be with them, but there are friendly folks within I assure you) will direct you to queue up in an orderly fashion. We expect nothing but the best of our patrons so we’ll leave it up to you to be honorable and respectable of each other when waiting. Getting here early is definitely encouraged. Come early enough to shop inside our store as well (you’re smart, you know).

This contest does apply to our online patrons as well. If you, an online customer, enters using one of the listed methods and you end up winning we’ll assign you $20 worth of credit (to use towards merchandise and/or shipping) and we’ll send a T-Shirt of your designated size (we’ll ask before sending) with your order.

Cookie Duster When Flying Was Easy
(SQE Music)
Brendan Canning formed this indie-rock band in Toronto in the late 90s: they released one album before entering a hiatus in 2001 due to his other band – Broken Social Scene – surging in popularity. On their sophomore album, which came into being from the band’s revival last year, they deliver an interesting mix of tunes in varying styles, many of which have a summery keyboard-driven feel. It’s difficult to pinpoint this album’s style using just a few words, but it certainly has a fun, smart and mature nature to it overall. My favorite track is easily the excitedly beaming “Standing Alongside Gone,” drenched in a deluge of synthesized sunset bliss. The sunniest rack and first single “Two Feet Sound Up” is excellent as well, with an obviously enthusiastic sound of youthful energy. Even a slowed-down song about a totally incompatible relationship (“Something Evil Again”) sounds gorgeous and lively amidst the celestial synth and guitars. “Space Will Follow” is another high point, using a variety of brightly galactic-sounding guitar techniques to make the experience especially trippy.

Family Band Grace & Lies
(No Quarter)
Visual artist Kim Krans and formerly heavy metal-specializing guitarist Jonny Ollsin are the Brooklyn couple who make up Family Band. With the help of bassist and lapsteel player Scott Hirsch, they create sad, thoughtful, folk-inspired music on their second album. It starts off with the fittingly titled “Night Song,” using heavily distorted beats, Ollsin’s gently twinkling guitar and Krans’ mournful voice singing about lies, secrets, and waiting for dawn. Her voice particularly shines on the beautifully woven ballad “Moonbeams,” with a repeated desire to hear someone’s “wondering sound.” The lullaby-esque title track personifies “Grace” as a woman and “Lies” as a man, both in a relationship and singing out each other’s names: the vocals sound both mellow and passionate. The eight-minute closer “Rest” sounds softly dream-like as well, particularly in the first instrumental half: it ends with some surprisingly busy, unique ambient sounds behind the steel guitar chords and Krans’ moody vocals.

Large Professor (production on this track) keeps that MJ “Human Nature” beat at the center here and honestly any beat with that at the center (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Nature_%28Michael_Jackson_song%29#Sampling ) has my positive at tention. NAS’s “Illmatic” is a top contender for best hip-hop album ever (I will not postulate any further than that, but it’s one that I never get sick of). This is the last song off that and it always leaves me wanting more (which at that point – and this is true – I usually go to 9th Wonder’s “God’s Stepson” and am satiated). (Rick)

We hope that someday ROBOTS AND EMPIRE get back together for at least one more show. This 4-piece post-hardcore outfit from Poughkeepsie, NY, used to play CT about once every six weeks for years, bringing out everyone’s inner groove-mosher. I would lose my mind when they played. Check out the other projects the members have going on now, Living Laser & Winterlong. Both bands will have new records out soon!

Com Truise captures that late 80’s future aesthetic (portrayed future from that time) in this short thriller. Put on your sunglasses because there is a lot of neon grafx going ’round this elektro traxxx.

Last month, hugely influential band, The Stooges announced that they were working on new material for the first time since 2007’s, “The Weirdness”. This week, we got restocked on a bunch of older Stooges titles. Check out this documentary short on one of the most important bands in rock history.

HTRK – “Bendin'” from Ghostly International on Vimeo.

HTRK and Tropic of Cancer have a split coming from Ghostly International soon. I’m looking very much forward to it. Can’t get enough of the slow melancholic reverberations. (Rick)

A friend of mine traded in a copy of American Nightmare’s “The Sun Isn’t Getting Any Brighter” 7″ yesterday and it made me think about all the times I saw them in the early 2000’s. Exploding out of the booming Boston straightedge scene, the y took aggressive hardcore to new heights, by fusing hard mosh parts with darker introspective lyrics. Deathwish Inc. will be releasing a documentary about the bands recent reunion shows. Check out the trailer.

Tomorrow night, the post-hardcore band Texas is the Reason will be performing for the first time since their 2006 reunion as the headliner of night 1 of Revelation Records 25th Anniversary Fest in New York City. TITR to me, is one of the most important “emo” bands of the 90’s. Check out what the band has to say about playing together again in this short documentary video.
