Cereal Milk
Flagstaff songwriter Kris Kohl led the band Cereal Milk in the mid-late 2010′s, a highlight among the many greats in Arizona’s perennially bullshit-free rock community. Self-described as “alt-emo”, Kohl’s diaristic and intimate lyrics recall those of Bay Area greats such as Blake Schwarzenbach or Aaron Cometbus, with expansive riffs that could probably trace their roots back to 1980′s Minneapolis. A big-hearted record for all you sentimental rockers out there.
Check out the record on bandcamp (below) or on all those other streaming services!
Friend Of My Youth – Telling
Sharp melodic punk from this bold Corvallis/Santa Barbara 3-piece. Singer/guitarist Indiana Laub is the fierce, beating heart of the amazing Corvallis scene, and a DIY legend in my book. It is an honor to be releasing this kickass cassette in conjunction with Secret Pennies and Salinas Records who are doing the LP. Peep the stream below and pre-order your copy here!
Flexing – Modern Discipline
Howdy amigos! I’m super excited to be releasing the upcoming Flexing cassette, Modern Discipline. Flexing is a dark, aggressive, political post-punk band from Corvallis, Oregon. Fans of Fugazi or This Is My Fist will surely dig this record. Check out the bandcamp stream below and pre-order a copy here. This is a split release with the homies at Secret Pennies Records.
Flexing will be touring this summer in support of the tape. Dates below:
August 6th
Breakfast in Silence / Calendar Year split tape
New from the Phat ‘n’ Phunky Phamily, we have 8-songs of nice people punk rock from SLC and NYC. Breakfast in Silence play moody, stark post-punk, contrasted with Calendar Year
Mars Is Heaven
DAWGS! The most underrated songwriter of his generation, MORGAN HERRELL (of Hard Girls, Pteradon and I Sing The Body Electric!), has released a new album of stellar tunes (pun not intended but appropriate). Morgan’s music turns the mundane into the magical, extracting beauty from the minutiae of common life and singing it sweetly back to us. I sincerely hope you’ll sit down with these tunes and enjoy them as I have.
Hecka Halloween
New, obnoxious halloween mix for all you PNP heads out there! Enjoy, eat hecka candy, and be safe!
FUSS
Howdy! Here’s a demo from a new band in the PNP phamily: FUSS! Enjoy! First show July 4 @ Rick’s House in San Pedro.
DISTRO UPDATE
Sup foos! I added a few new distro items from Gezan, Speedway, and WAS in to the mailorder section. It’s a pretty strange cross section of styles, but hopefully some of you weirdos will enjoy the music!
Cesar Ruiz “Get In My Gig Bag” Tour
The genius CESAR RUIZ will be touring the east coast USA and Canada in late May 2018. Always soulful, catchy and exciting, whether he’s playing it straightforward or approaching his set from an experimental angle. Cesar is truly one of my favorite musicians and people so I hope you can catch one of his shows!
