Address Change

For those of you who mail stuff, our physical address has changed!  It's listed up top.  Thanks!

Keep an eye out next week for a big update to the used section.

Humongous Distro Update

I just added a huge amount of used and new records and tapes to the distro.  Check it out.  Lots of the final Underestimated Records stock, plenty of cheap used gems, and some excellent new titles.  Some highlights include:
Cloud Rat records
Panzram/Shoppers split
Need demo tape
Neon Piss tapes
Discount Half Fiction LP
some great No Idea records LPs

and lots more.

In release news, Dead Uncles "Stock Characters" LP release is beginning to take shape.  I will also be helping release a discography tape for the excellent, though short lived, Oklahoma based band Grasseaters.  Details on these releases to come!

USED RECORDS!!

Today I did a huge distro update featuring several new LPs and 7"s including:

Peeple Watchin - Somethin Ta Tell Ya LP
No Justice - Still Fighting 7"
State - All Wrong LP
Vitamin X - See Thru Their Lies LP
Short Fuse LP
Short Fuse - Fruitless Efforts 7"
John Henry West - Door Bolted Shut LP+CD
Tragedy - Darker Days Ahead LP
Allergic to Bullshit - Train I Ride 7"
Sexy - Por Vida LP
Sista Sekunden LP

Even more exciting, I added a ton of used records to the webstore.  Check it out here:  http://hipkidrecords.storenvy.com/

Thanks for the support!

So Many Things

Lots of stuff happening over here.  Let's make a list:

1) Just added some EXCELLENT Japanese punk to the distro.  It's a little more expensive than my other stuff, but that's because overseas shipping is the worst.  I assure you, this stuff is worth it.  CDs and 7"s from the likes of THIRSTY CHORDS, LEEWAY, INFRO and more!

2) I've started doing a zine distro and have added those to the webstore as well.  Scope them out and get something to read.  It's the cool thing to do.

3) Partners in crime NOT NORMAL and I have purchased the all the backstock for seminal Chicago label UNDERESTIMATED RECORDS.  Some great stuff from that will be surfacing soon and for cheaper than you'll get it most places.  Until then, if you want anything UNDERESTIMATED related, including weird rarities, drop me a line and I'll see if I can't hook it up.  Email me at hip.kid.records AT gmail.com

4) The USED section of the distro will launch soon.  It takes a long time, but there's some really cool stuff in there.  Got used records you don't want?  Send me a list.


Keep your eyes peeled.

Boilerman 7" Restock

I got one Boilerman "Bright Young Things" 7" returned from a distributor, so it's back in stock for the moment.  Grab that last white copy while you can!  I also added some of the second Boilerman 7" to the store, so you can now get that from me as well!

A BIG distro update with records and zine coming this next weekend.  Stay tuned.

LP Sale

I've marked down a handful of LPs in the distro to clear some space.  Get some while the getting's good.

Distro Update/Zines!

I just put some great stuff in the distro that I got on/around Boilerman tour.

- Curmudgeon - Human Ouroboros 7"
- Peeple Watchin' - s/t 7"
- Sea of Shit/Water Torture - split 7"

This stuff is all excellent and well worth checking out.  I have also started a modest zine distro and will be putting those up for sale in the store in the next few days.

There are also a few releases on the horizon that should be pretty boss.  Details soon.
