New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / New on Southpaw: Warm Soda, Pookie, Pleasers and more!
« on: October 14, 2015, 07:51:08 AM »
We've got a bunch of new 7" and cassette releases, check em out below:
Pookie and The Poodlez - Young Adult Cassette
Following in the footsteps of Nobunny and The Younger Lovers, Oakland's newest prince of garage pop has arrived. His first album "The Last Thing I Did As Teenager" (released on Nobunny's Rubber Vomit imprint) was highly praised by fans and critics alike, landing itself on one of Pitchfork's 2014 best of list. Now returning with his 2nd album " Young Adult", Pookie hones his craft even further creating an instant pop classic. Recorded in Oakland, CA by Jason Testasecca (Nobunny, Elvis Christ).
http://southpawdistro.bigcartel.com/product/pookie-the-poodlez-young-adult-cassette
Courtney and The Crushers - Mountainous Cassette
If you live in the Bay Area you won't need an introduction to Courtney Castleman. She's been making music, putting on shows, and been a huge contributor to the Bay Area music scene for years. A few months ago I stopped by JT Recording Studios to finalize some details on the new Pookie and the Poodlez LP with engineer Jason Testasecca. While at the studio Pookie informed me that Courney's band Courntey and the Crushers happened to be in the studio that same day recording new material. Always interested in the band, I was curious to hear the songs once they were complete. As it turns out, Courtney and I must have had a telepathic connection, because shortly after, the songs appeared in my inbox. These songs are reminisce of 90's pop and 60's garage, making it a perfect fit for a Southpaw. If you're a fan of heavyhitters Shannon & the Clams, Peach Kelli Pop and Colleen Green, this is surely a band for you!

Cumstain - Hoagie Party Cassingle
Two new scuzzy pop hits from Oakland's CUMSTAIN! This little two song teaser will hold you over until the bands upcoming third LP. Limited to 100 on gold cassettes!
http://southpawdistro.bigcartel.com/product/cumstain-i-m-not-mean-cassingle
The Younger Lovers - Pogo Punk cassingle
Three songs including one re-recorded classic (in a faster punk'd up version). A brand new song only on this release and a cover of The Amps. Limited to 100 on red cassettes.
http://southpawdistro.bigcartel.com/product/the-younger-lovers-sugar-in-my-pocket-cassingle
Warm Soda - Renegade Mode 7"
The latest Warm Soda LP has been our soundtrack to the summer. Recently, after checking in with Matthew Melton to see if had any new material in the works, we discovered he'd been sitting on a song that was released on a limited cassette during Warm Soda's 2014 tour. In addition, he had just finished up a new song titled, No Place To Fall. The two make an excellent paring and so a new Warm Soda 7″ is born!
7" comes in glue pocket jacket
http://southpawdistro.bigcartel.com/product/warm-soda-renegade-mode-7-pre-order
Pleasers - Reject Teen 7"
After spending over half a decade in the Bay Area, Matthew Melton has now settled into Austin, TX. Melton was a Bay Area pioneer we knew we would surely miss having close, but shortly after settling into his new adopted home town, he team up with good friend, Ben Tipton and naturally, Pleasers were born. As soon as we caught wind that these two creatives were teaming up we were excited! Melton and Tipton also teamed up with drummer Julian Young and the trio recorded two instant hits, Reject Teen and Judy.
Fans of Melton's earlier work with Bare Wires (especially Artificial Clouds and Idle Dreams) should be eager to hear these tunes. We personally love when Melton shows his punk roots and Pleasers are bringing it 110%. Be sure to check out this band live when you're in the Austin area!
7" comes in glue pocket jacket.

Matthew Melton - Too Many Hearts Lack Lovers 7"
Less than a week after Melton delivered this new Warm Soda 7″, two additional songs appeared in our inbox. Melton informed us that he was also working on a new solo album and had just finished up two tracks. Melton asked if we would be interested in releasing these as a new solo 7″, to which of course we agreed. The A side, Too Many Hearts Lack Lovers, is a unique turn for Melton and we hope to see more of this kind of output. These new singles are a perfect representation that he's one the best current songwriters out there.

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / THE HUSSY/DIGITAL LEATHER SPLIT 12", Debut 7" from ADVLTS
« on: April 12, 2014, 07:31:55 AM »
We have some new releases coming out around the end of the month/early May. Also for the first time ever Southpaw shirts! Check em out!
The Hussy/Digital Leather split 12"
When we first heard the talk of these two bands doing a split our interests were instantly piqued but we had no idea the turnout would be this good. Digital Leather's side give us six tracks of what Shawn called "love songs". These tracks are down right catchy but depressing at the same time, absolutely killer!
The Hussy gave us seven blistering punk tracks including a cover of Digital Leather's "Studs In Love"! Shawn also plays on four of The Hussy songs and this is some of our favorite material to date.
Includes digital download.
Stream a track from each side here:

ADVLTS debut 7"
This is the first in a new series we are doing featuring only local Baltimore bands.
Advlts started as a joke. A cover band no one wanted ruining an otherwise enjoyable Friday night at the saloon. Three middle aged guys who used to be in bands together reunite in millennial Baltimore for the first time in a long while and in no bands whatsoever. A plan is hashed out over beers in the charismatic front man's soon-to-be-foreclosed-upon living room: learn all twenty-six minutes of the 1978 debut album by seminal Belgian punk rock band The Kids and play them at people, with yelling and sweating and spitting all over the microphones. Adults. Kids. Get it? No? It seemed reasonable at the time. They performed this Vegas lounge act twice. It didn't sound so great, so they found another middle aged guy to scratch at a Stratocaster and squeal at people. That sounded better, so they wrote a bunch of "original" songs and played those at people instead of the Kids songs. They still like the Kids, of course. And Johnny Moped. And Charley Patton. And the Weirdos. And Really Red. And the Mekons. And Roky Erickson. They like their own guitars just fine. Not yours. In fact, they prefer you stop playing your guitars altogether. The music of this particular Advlts band is, for better or worse, punk rock music. Fast songs faster. Short songs shorter. Small amps turned up and frying. An excess of black and yellow bile. Advlts practice with rats. Advlts record in a hallway. Advlts write hooks, then hide them. Advlts make racket. Advlts do these things willfully, perversely, for their own sake. They will do so as long as they like.
