How is it already March? March brings hopefully spring weather around here, but it also brings the next Bandcamp Friday! We continue our favorite series of sales with 5 newer vinyl albums at a low price of just $15 a piece. Plus we marked all digital at NAME YOUR PRICE, so now is a good time to stock up and make it through the last moments of winter. We also added a BUNCH of shirts late last year, so if you're looking at getting new duds, now is your chance. Check out what we added here.
This sale only runs 24 hours- and if you are reading this now, chances are you have less than that. So get on it! Take a gander at our catalog here and go wild.
Choose from these 12" records:
Be Safe "Unwell": Debut album from this Maryland group that just dropped a track on the new Emo Diaries comp. Fans of the mid 90s emo bands like Mineral and Benton Falls will fall in love with this one.
Bottom Bracket "I'm So Afraid of Where": The catchiest and tightest emo/pop punk band hailing from Chicago. Big hooks, witty lyrics and clever vocal delivery over crunchy riffs and a driving rhythm section.
FFO: Into It. Over It, Taking Back Sunday
John Galm "River of Blood": Intimate and somber solo project from Snowing frontman John Galm. A must listen.
FFO: Mount Eerie, The Weakerthans
Malegoat "To Face the Music": The quintessential Emo Revival album out of Japan, now finally on vinyl. Popular because it's so damn good.
FFO: Algernon Cadwallader, Cap'n Jazz
Thank You, I'm Sorry "Growing in Strange Places": The final album from indie rockers before calling it quits. A sonic force of an album.
It's the first Bandcamp Friday of the year and we brought back one of our favorite series of sales! We've selected five newer vinyl album releases and made each of them just $15!

We also added a BUNCH of shirts late last year, so if you're looking at getting some fresh gear, now is your chance. Check out what we added here.

Choose from these 12" records:
Camp Trash "Two Hundred Thousand Dollars": The long awaited follow up to the excellent "The Long Way, The Slow Way," that sees the band grow further into indie-pop sensibilities. Catchy hooks and big choruses pave the way to an album that pay off big.
FFO: Superchunk, Fountains of Wayne, Oso Oso
Colleen Dow "Inside Voices Deluxe": A collection of songs from Thank You, I'm Sorry frontperson Colleen Dow. Indie-pop goodness. Synth pop fused with indie rock.
FFO: The Postal Service, Now Now
Drunk Uncle "o, brittle weather!": Drunk Uncle’s sophomore follow up to ‘Look Up’, ‘O, brittle weather!’ tells a story painted by acoustic and electric guitars, floating bass, keys, horns and carefully crafted percussion. Melodic and emotional vocals splash throughout.
FFO: Modest Mouse, Broken Social Scene, Maps & Atlases.
FFO: Carissa's Wierd, The World is a Beautiful Place, Codeine
Superdown "Return to Sender": Barreling straight into song after song, Boston Massachusetts outfit Superdown live each note like there is no tomorrow. Vocals move from gentle to guttural at a moment's notice. The music heightens and breaks into a driving force that feels like it is carrying you to shore through a violent sea. If Samiam and Hot Water Music had the sensibility of The Gaslight Anthem, the result would be Superdown.
I had a lovely conversation with my friend Tom from Washed Up Emo where we talked about emo, Best Friends Forever Fest Empire! Empire!, Mt. Oriander, Parting, the history of the label, and so much more.
