So it’s been a while since we last posted, and I apologize for that. We’ve been working on quite a few new things which should be super cool and interesting for y’all. I want to thank all of you people that actually read this thing and shop in our store for making 2010 our best year ever. Thanks for continuing to support us and buy music that we put out. We love doing this and we love you for loving us.

2010 in Review:

• Uphill Gardeners “5-6″ LP
• The Feeling of Love “OK Judge Revival” LP
• Night Control “Life Control” CD
• Agent Side Grinder “Debut” CD
• The Moles “Untune the Sky” 2XLP
• The Dictaphone “S/T” LP
• Sharp Ends “S/T” LP
• Movie Star Junkies “In a Night Like This” 10″

You can see plenty of reviews all over the internet for most of these. Records by The Feeling of Love, The Moles, Night Control, and Agent Side Grinder made tons of top-10 lists for the year from everyone from Aquarius Records, Revovler/Midheaven, Dusted, and more. Check them out, they’re some of our favorites.

2011 in Progress

So now that we’re done with all of the 2010 stuff, I’d like to share our plans for 2011. First off, we’re working on adding digital downloads to our website. Since we often offer vinyl-only records, we’re thinking of adding free digital downloads when you buy directly from us. Additionally, we’ll allow folks to buy digital downloads if they’re so inclined to do so. I’m not sure people will care, but hey, it’s worth a try. Now, onto our plans for this year:

• KSR49: The Rebel / Bomber Jackets Split 7″ – The Rebel is Ben Wallers (Country Teasers) and crew making weird sub-humanoid bar crawlers. Bomber Jackets is a Pheromoans side project that has equal appeal.  Split release with Savoury days. We’ll only have 100 copies or so, so get ‘em, while the gettin’s good. Out in March.
• KSR50 – The Feeling of Love “TBD” – A year after “OK Judge Revival”, TFOL are ready for another Velvet’s-like banger. Released in Europe on Born Bad and by Kill Shaman in the US and Canada. Should be out in April.
• KSR51: The Dreams “TBD” – We’ve been talking about this one for a while, but it got a bit delayed so the band could record some new material. Tehy were going to use some tracks from their split with Scorpion Violente but decided not to. Heavy dub-like skronk punk stuff. Very cool.
• KSR52: Branko! “Branko!” LP – We’ve delayed the hell out of this one too, but we need to get it out there. It’s really damned good. If you haven’t heard Branko!, check them out because their punked up Ventures-style garage madness is unparalleled.

Look for forward to some other great things to come too, many of which are still in the works. All we can say is that we’ll be releasing something by Yves Son Ace (Love Tan, Factums members), and if all goes well, we’ll release something by the band that inspired us to play music and start a label. Maybe. We’ll see. More distro updates and bullshit rants soon!
