Greetings, fellow degenerates! Welcome to the latest installment of the Dying Scene Record Radar, the weekly column where we recap all the recent happenings in the world of punk rock vinyl. Some quick housekeeping: this will be our last Record Radar of 2022, as there’s a major holiday next week that you may have heard of. With that out of the way, kick off your shoes, pull up a chair, crack open a cold one, and break out those wallets, because it’s go time!
No Fun At All gets us started this week, with a reissue of the highly underrated (in my opinion) State of Flow. Back in print for the first time in over 20 years! There are three variants: white (200 copies), cyan blue (200 copies), and black (600 copies). If you’re in Europe, or are willing to pay out the ass for shipping to the US, La Agonía de Vivir has all three colors available on their webstore. If you wanna save on shipping, our friends at Thousand Islands Records have some copies on black wax; grab your copy here.
Alkaline Trio‘s Remains is getting its first new pressing since 2007. There are two new variants of the double LP: red w/ black splatter (available here), and white w/ red splatter (available here). These are kinda pricey, but considering old pressings fetch over $200 on Discogs, 40-ish bucks ain’t such a bad deal!
Hardcore legends 7Seconds‘ Walk Together, Rock Together is back in print. I haven’t been able to find an official announcement regarding this, but I have seen it listed for sale in a lot of places, at a lot of different prices. Garageland is selling pictured variant for $32, while Target has the “Trust Edition” listed for $15. Sounds like February 3, 2023 is the release date.
The Manges seem to have dug up some long-lost copies of their 1999 Clean Cut Kids 7″. This four-song EP features probably their most well-known song “I Will Always Do”. Essential record for any old school pop-punk collector. Grab your copy here before they’re gone!
TNS Records‘ latest release is from up-and-coming British punks Bruise Control. The band’s debut album Useless for Something is due out in early 2023. Check out the first single below and pre-order the LP here.
And because you can never have enough British bands in your life, Liverpool’s Mark Murphy & The Meds have launched pre-orders for their sophomore album Monochrome. Give the first single a listen below and grab the wax (250 copies on smoky clear colored vinyl) here.
Punk Rock Vinyl (who you may know from their very popular Instagram page) is releasing a compilation LP, featuring songs by bands like NOFX, the Bouncing Souls, and the Raging Nathans, among many others. There are two color variants, each limited to 250 copies, with cover art by Mark de Salvo. Get your copy here.
Our friends at Mom’s Basement are back on the Record Radar once again, announcing they are now carrying releases from Japan’s Waterslide Records in their distro. They also have a bunch of old school Mutant Pop 7″s in stock now, as well as that Riverdales covers LP we told you about last week. Hit up their webstore to see what’s up.
Last but not least, we have some more holiday deals for you, courtesy of Austrian pop-punk merchants Monster Zero Records! Through the end of 2022, get 25% off your order on their webstore with code “CHRISTMAS”. Records from 7 Years Bad Luck, The Mugwumps, The Windowsill, and a ton of other great bands. Don’t miss out!
And that’s all, folks! Another Record Radar in the books. As always, thank you for tuning in. If there’s anything we missed (highly likely), or if you want to let everyone know about a new/upcoming vinyl release you’re excited about, leave us a comment below, or send us a message on Facebook or Instagram, and we’ll look into it. Enjoy your weekend, and don’t blow too much money on spinny discs. See ya next year!
