Blur set to re-issue their debut album, Leisure on it’s 25th anniversary!

July 27, 2016

When I play my old Blur CDs, I am instantly transported back to San Francisco in the 90’s. Great music donned the venues and there was an abundance of bands coming from the UK and feeding us with their fresh new alternative music. One of those bands that I instantly fell in love with was Blur. Their debut album, Leisure endured endless plays on my stereo as the alternative and shoegaze era captured my attention and is still deep in my heart. We are pleased to share the news that Blur plans to re-issue the Leisure album on colored vinyl through Parlophone. The album will be released on August 26th, the 25th anniversary of it’s initial release date in 1991.  You can pre-order the album by heading over to their webstore: http://shop.blur.co.uk/eu/leisure.html?sfgnbdghnd.

Bandits announce upcoming release of KILL Tonight 7″ Vinyl in March

December 10, 2015

The explosive heavy rock trio Bandits have announced that they will be releasing Kill Tonight 7″ Vinyl in March.  You know that we love our vinyl and can’t wait to hear their fierce music on it. This highly anticipated release was mastered by Brian Gardner, the Grammy award-winning engineer who has worked with iconic artists such as Jack White, Queens of the Stone Age, and Them Crooked Vultures. BANDITS are a red-hot bowling ball, shot out of a homemade cannon into the side panel of mid 80’s Ford Bronco. Led by the unmatched chemistry of brother/sister John Demitro (guitar/vox) and LuLu Demitro (bass/keys/vox), and driven by the eruptive drumming of Andrew Oakley (drums), BANDITS have managed to enter a higher society of artistry by discharging a brand unlike any others in the provincial industry. BANDITS find themselves drawing in dazed listeners to a focal point of sound, just before pushing back with enough power and energy to knock the asbestos out of the ceiling of your towns grimy rock club.  With excitement towards the upcoming [Read More]
