SEX SNOBS - Pop Songs and Other Ways to Die CS Out Now!

Today marks the release of SEX SNOBS - Pop Songs and Other Ways to Die CS.

Ten songs from this OKC noise rock/punk/fuzz pop/garage band.

See all those descriptors?  SEX SNOBS manage to require all of them and yet maintain a cohesive, unique sound that's all their own.  Raucous hardcore punk influenced noise rock jams give way to mellow, spacey ear worms that may never leave your head.  Propulsive, engaging, and demanding of multiple listens, yet memorable at the first.  There may be other ways to die, but probably not better.  

Limited to 100 copies on red tapes with a double-sided full color J-card and label insert.  This is HKR-022.

BUY: http://hipkidrecords.storenvy.com

STREAM/DOWNLOAD: http://hipkidrecords.bandcamp.com

LABELS/DISTROS: Get in touch for wholesale/trades.

DEAD UNCLES LP is down to 2 copies left and is priced to move.  Grab one with that s/t 7".

COWARD and HEDLOK EPs are both gone for good and I have less than 10 copies left of THE ELSINORES LP.  Don't miss out on that one either.

The SLOANE PETERSON LP repress is moving along well and should be out before you know it too!

NOTCHES - Huge 7" Out Now!

At long last, the first ever NOTCHES vinyl exists.  After an excellent demo, NOTCHES returns with their first foray into the world of wax.  This new EP features one re-recorded demo track and three new jammers.  This band manages to take the absolute best parts of Superchunk influenced indie rock, pop punk, and the tiniest bit of top tier emo bands to make something wholly their own.  With a clearer recording than the demo, the intricacies of the songs have more room to rise to the fore after a few listens.  NOTCHES keeps getting better and better.

Buy the thing: http://hipkidrecords.storenvy.com
Listen/download: http://hipkidrecords.bandcamp.com

440 copies on green with black and white inserts
110 copies on black with full color inserts

THE VALENTEENS - Fuzzed Out Tone For The Painfully Alone CS Out Now!

Today marks the release of the excellent full length by THE VALENTEENS entitled "Fuzzed Out Tone for the Painfully Alone" on cassette courtesy of HIP KID and ICE AGE RECORDS.

https://scontent-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-9/10923326_577193799050667_2662799870857696289_n.jpg?oh=c8ae43c13049d32354062e58476cb8cf&oe=5603C802

Pop songs played at 45 rpm, with the volume and ferocity pushed to the brink of destruction. Drums explode through thick walls of fuzz and distortion to make room for the hooks, while the melody-laden vocals help navigate through the forest of noise, leading you towards the light and onto the dance floor. Don't you wanna???
