Bored Youth 7" -- Official Reissue Out Soon on Accidental Guest Recordings

We are super proud to bring you the first official issue of the lost 1981 hardcore classic 7" from Bored Youth. While this gem has been bootlegged a few times (you probably own a copy already), this is the first time it has been officially reissued with the bands blessing. This isn't just some cut and paste issue of those crappy mp3s you might have, we wouldn't do that to you. Not only has this recording been remastered, but it comes with unreleased photos, complete liner notes by Tony Rettman (who has written Why be Something That You're Not, contributed to The Village Voice, Arthur, and many more), and a high quality digital download. That isn't all though, the first 100 come with a copy of the UNRELEASED Bored Youth LP on cassette which also contains the 7" and a digital DL as well. The LP was recorded in early 1982 with Corey Rusk (Necros, Touch And Go).

The 7" will be out in September. A pre-order for the Cassette/7" package will be up soon.

The Third Sex - Card Carryin'

Totally underrated queercore band with a remarkable sonic resemblance to Sleater-Kinney. Played with Bikini Kill, Harum Scarum, and Bratmobile. Mixed and produced by Donna Dresch. Apparently, each copy of Card Carryin' contained a promotional fake ID. I'm still looking for a picture.

Close Lobsters - Foxheads Stalk This Land

Alternate post title: "In which Emma posts something that is not female-fronted"

Yet another loveable Scottish jangle-pop outfit. Full disclosure, I picked up this album because I enjoyed both the name Foxheads Stalk This Land, and the entirely predictable color scheme. Really lovely record actually.

A Slice of Lemon Compilation

2-CD compilation created by Kill Rock Stars and Lookout! Records. Definitely a mixed bag in terms of genre and style, but features some incredibly underrated bands.
