Here’s what Mom’s Basement Records ringleader John Proffitt Jr. had to say about the third entry in the Ramonescore Brigade series:

“The Ramonescore Brigade series is a DIY project with the primary purpose of getting newer bands released on vinyl who may not otherwise get the opportunity. We’ve had a great response on Volumes One and Two, and Volume Three is just as exciting as the first two. We’ve gotten support from some record labels to get more of these out there, Mom’s Cellar Dwellers in the USA, Council-Pop in the UK and Insipid Records in Canada. 20 great Ramonescore bands you either love already, or soon will.”

Greetings, and welcome to the Dying Scene Record Radar. If it’s your first time here, thank you for joining us! This is the weekly* column where we cover all things punk rock vinyl; new releases, reissues… you name it, we’ve probably got it. Kick off your shoes, pull up a chair, crack open a cold one, and break out those wallets, because it’s go time. Let’s get into it!

Check out the video edition of this week’s Record Radar, presented by our friends at Punk Rock Radar:

Frequent flyers here on the Record Radar, Fat Wreck gets us started this week with not one, but two new 25th Anniversary reissues. Up first is the Honest Don’s Greatest Shits compilation. There are three variants of this one that I know of so far; a beautiful green/brown/gold splatter, a red splatter, and gold (not available to buy but thrown in with randomly selected orders). And as I’m writing this I’ve realized this shit already sold out. Womp womp.

Also from Fat: a 25th Anniversary reissue of the Mad Caddies’ Duck and Cover, the first new (colored) pressing of this record since 2011. This one’s still in stock! Get it here before that’s no longer the case. Also lookout for the Caddies’ new record coming soon on SBÄM Records.

Bay Area punk band Tess & The Details’ debut album Runaway is out now on Double Helix Records. This one’s available on three beautiful color variants, all of which are housed in a gatefold sleeve. Check out the title track below and grab the record here.

Dischord Records is releasing a new Minor Threat 7” on December 1st to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Out of Step EP. The Out of Step Outtakes 7” features recently unearthed recordings from the original studio session in 1983. Get it on clear vinyl here.

Green Day‘s new record Saviors is now available on 19(!) unique variants, as a new “Bluejay Marble” color variant has gone up on their webstore. We are continuing to monitor this developing situation on this post dedicated to the many vinyl color variants of Green Day’s new album Saviors.

Your favorite Dying Scene editor JayStone‘s 4th favorite(?) solo artist Sam Russo has a new Christmas 7” out now on Red Scare. Listen to the two songs from Mistletoe Pier below and get the rekkid here.

What’s up with all the 7″s this week? Here’s another one from The Flatliners. It’s somehow been 10 years since Dead Language came out, and to celebrate the good Canadian boys are releasing a 7” with two acoustic versions of songs from the album. Listen to stripped down recordings of “Quitters” and “Bury Me” below, and grab the Dead Decade 7” here.

If you’re a dedicated reader of the Record Radar (I trust that all of you are), you’re already aware of this 20th Anniversary reissue of Rancid‘s Indestructible. After all, we did tell you about it over a month ago… and again a week later when another variant was revealed. Now the band has officially announced the reissue and revealed a pretty slick red/black webstore exclusive color variant. While I have your attention, I’d like to remind you this album is home to one of the all-time worst Rancid songs:

Earlier this week we had the pleasure of spilling the beans on the new Ramonescore Brigade Vol 3 comp from Mom’s Basement, Council Pop & Insipid Records. This vinyl-only comp features songs from the McRackins, The Putz, Mark Murphy & the Meds and a bunch of other great bands. The color variants look awesome, too.

PRE-ORDER LINKS:

Dying Scene editor JayStone’s 17th favorite punk frontman-turned-solo artist Chuck Ragan released a bunch of songs a long time ago (is 16 years a long time?) that were only available as a subscription based 7” series (and a CD). Now End Hits Records is bringing these songs to the masses with the Blueprint Sessions 2xLP. There are a bunch of color variants available here (US), here (Canada, exclusive screen printed cover variant(!!)), and here (UK).

Kill from the Heart, the 1983 debut album by the very eloquently named Dicks, is getting a 40th anniversary reissue on translucent red colored vinyl. This one’s been out of print since 2012, grab a copy from Superior Viaduct.

Los Angeles ska-punks Matamoska!’s 2014 album M is for Murder has gotten its first-ever vinyl release, courtesy of Asbestos Records. The 10th Anniversary reissue on bloody red vinyl has been remixed and remastered; get your copy here.

Dine Alone Records just reissued literally every Gob album a few months ago, but they’ve announced another pressing of Foot In Mouth Disease for the album’s 20th birthday. This one’s limited to 750 copies on a red/white split colored LP and includes a bonus 7”. It goes on sale in store and online on Black Friday.

Speaking of Black Friday, the sales have already started and that includes deals on vinyl! Epitaph has a bunch of records marked down 25% on their webstore, including their recent NOFX, ALL & Pennywise reissues. I’m sure more labels/stores have sales going but I’m too fucking lazy to hunt them all down. r/vinyldeals is a good place to keep track of who’s got sales going.

Well, 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 (or do, I’m not your father). See ya next week!

Hello, loyal readers! Thank you for joining us for this week’s edition of the Dying Scene Record Radar, where we cover all things in the world of punk rock vinyl. Kick off your shoes and make yourself at home, because it’s time to run through this week’s releases. I hope you’re feeling spendy, because there’s a lot of good stuff that might find its way into your record collection. Let’s get into it!

Up first, we’ve got 1-2-3-4 Go! Records with another killer exclusive pressing of a classic record. This time it’s the Descendents‘ Everything Sucks, limited to 1,000 hand numbered copies on blue vinyl. This will be available on their webstore Friday, August 5th at 8am Pacific (11am Eastern). Join 1-2-3-4 Go!’s mailing list to be among the first to know when it goes up.

Rancid‘s Let’s Go is getting repressed, this time as a red and black splatter LP. It’s limited to 1,000 copies, and is only available from Newbury Comics. Head over here to get your hands on this one.

Brooklyn Vegan has an exclusive green 2xLP pressing of Social Distortion‘s Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes up to pre-order on their webstore. It’s limited to 300 copies and the color is pretty cool. Not a huge Social D fan myself, but this album’s alright. Also, if you join Brooklyn Vegan’s mailing list, you’ll get 10% off your order! Very nice.

Asian Man Records has brand new pressings of two classic Alkaline Trio LPs available right now. These new variants of Goddamnit and Maybe I’ll Catch Fire are limited to 1,000 copies each. Head on over to Asian Man’s webstore to order.

It’s been a long time coming but No Trigger has finally announced a follow-up to their fantastic sophomore album Tycoon. The new record’s called Dr. Album, and it’s being released next month on Red Scare. Check out the first single below, and pre-order the LP here.

Power pop singer/songwriter Geoff Palmer has re-recorded Dee Dee Ramone’s “rap” album Standing In The Spotlight. The first single, his cover of “Emergency” (my favorite song off the record), can be heard below. Stardumb Records is releasing this on vinyl; head over here to pre-order it.

The Mugwumps just released a new live album, recorded at Italy’s premiere punk festival Punk Rock Raduno in 2021. Check it out below – it kicks ass! My fellow Americans can get this here; our European friends can buy it here.

Mom’s Basement Records has announced their upcoming Queers tribute compilation God Save The Queers Vol.2 will be available to pre-order this Friday, July 29th, at Noon Eastern. Head over to their webstore to grab your copy. Canadians can get this one from Insipid Records, and our Bri’ish mates will wanna hit up Council-Pop Records.

Hardcore punk supergroup OFF! has announced a new record! Free LSD is the band’s first new studio album in eight years. They’re describing it as “a heavy punk industrial free jazz soundtrack recording”. Watch the music video for the first single “War Above Los Angeles” below, and pre-order the record here. There’s also an orange variant available from Brooklyn Vegan.

Making their second Record Radar appearance in three weeks, it’s the Dropkick Murphys with a Newbury Comics Exclusive variant of their upcoming album This Machine Still Kills Fascists. This one’s due out on September 30th, it’s limited to 500 copies on red vinyl, and you can pre-order it here.

British punk pioneers The Vibrators have announced their final album Fall Into the Sky will be released on August 12th through Cleopatra Records. Listen to the first single below, and pre-order the record on pink or blue vinyl here.

Santa Cruz pop-punks Too Bad Eugene just announced their first new album in 20 years! Distance is due out September 14th on People of Punk Rock Records. Listen to the title track below, and pre-order the record here.

Italy’s Radiation Records has reissued two LPs from Los Angeles punk veterans The Generators: 2005’s The Winter of Discontent, and 2007’s The Great Divide. Get ’em here. These are available in the US through Merchbar, too, but the price after shipping is basically the same as importing from Italy.

A decade after the downfall of The Clash, frontman Joe Strummer would spend the last three years of his life making new music with his band The Mescaleros. A box set compiling the band’s three albums and a bonus LP of demos, outtakes, rarities, has been announced. This is due out on September 16th, and can be pre-ordered here. These records go for $100+ each on the resale market, so this is actually a pretty great deal.

Reminder! If you are attending SBAM Fest, Brackrock Festival, or Punk Rock Holiday over the next few weeks, Fat Wreck Chords is going to have exclusive new variants of a shitload of records at their merch booth. Titles include Lagwagon‘s Hoss, Strung Out‘s Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues, the new Face to Face album, and many others. These European festivals are the only place in the entire world these will be available. Check out Fat’s Instagram for more info.

Canadian friends, check out Forbidden Beat! They’re a punk distro that always has good shit going up on their Instagram page, at very good prices. They also seem to be the only place in North America with copies of the new Screeching Weasel LP in stock, so if you’re looking for that, hit ’em up!

Now that all the new and upcoming releases have been covered, I thought I’d share what I’ve been listening to lately! I saw my favorite band Less Than Jake for the 19th(?) time last week, so I’ve been on a LTJ kick lately. I got Losers, Kings, And Things We Don’t Understand at a show in Orlando back in… 2012? And this red pressing of See The Light was one of two Christmas variants limited to 100 copies. It had been a while since I listened to either of these, so I gave them a few spins.

That’s all, folks! Thanks as always for tuning in to the Dying Scene Record Radar. 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, send us a message on Facebook or Instagram, and we’ll look into it. Enjoy your weekend, don’t blow too much money on spinny discs. See ya next week!

Dying Scene Record Store Spotlight: Clearwater Record Shop (Tampa Bay, FL)

Hello, and welcome to Record Store Spotlight; a new column here on Dying Scene dedicated to an institution almost as American as apple pie and unfettered capitalism – the record store!

Hello, and welcome to Record Store Spotlight; a new column here on Dying Scene dedicated to an institution almost as American as apple pie and unfettered capitalism – the record store!

Today, I’ll be putting the spotlight on one of my favorite local stores, the Clearwater Record Shop. Nestled in the middle of my hometown (a city most well known for being home to the Church of Scientology’s headquarters), the Clearwater Record Shop sets itself apart from other record stores with its heavy focus on used music. Rather than relying on distributors to supply new releases, owner Casey Brown has spent years building his inventory one record collection acquisition at a time. The store which spans two interconnected warehouse spaces boasts one of the most expansive selections of used CDs I’ve ever seen. Every time I visit, I leave with a stack of jewel cases a few feet high. It’s easy to get carried away when you’re met with hundreds of bins overflowing with discs, the majority of which are just $3.75 each (or six for $20!).

Sure, it’s hard to beat the ease and convenience of shopping online. But the Clearwater Record Shop goes toe to toe with Discogs prices, and I find that most of the time, they come out ahead. Also, I’ve yet to find a more enjoyable way to kill a few hours on my day off than thumbing through thousands of records and CDs, searching for worthy additions to my collection. It’s a visceral experience that can’t be matched by browsing an online marketplace. Finding a record like The Clash’s Combat Rock for $15, and not having to wait an eternity for USPS to deliver it is icing on the cake. My only complaint about this store is that the selection is literally overwhelming. If you’re on a budget, you might have to get a little picky as your stack grows taller.

In the cooler months (yes, we sometimes have those here in Florida), the Clearwater Record Shop acts as a host to monthly swap meets. Local record collectors and vendors are invited to set up tables in the parking lot to sell their wares. These events serve as a great meeting place for the community, and are a highlight of winter and spring for me. The first time we attended, I grabbed a few LPs, including the Buzzcocks’ A Different Kind of Tension ($10) and Billy Joel’s Songs in the Attic ($5), along with a bunch of dollar bin CDs by the likes of the Ramones, Ozzy, and Megadeth.

It’s always a fun time shopping at this store. Casey is very personable and has created something really special here. The store has a unique, inviting old school atmosphere. The selection is great, and the prices are fair. Your dollar goes a lot further here than it does at most record stores.

If you ever find yourself in the Tampa Bay area, I highly recommend stopping by the Clearwater Record Shop. With two air conditioned warehouses packed to the rafters with nothing but music, music, and even more music, you’re bound to stumble upon something that suits your fancy. Or, if you lack self control like me, you’ll probably leave with a mountain of stuff that suits your fancy.

For more info, check out the store’s website, and follow them on Instagram.

Do you have a favorite local record store you’d like to let everyone know about? Of course you do! Hit us up on Facebook or Instagram and submit your own Record Store Spotlight. The more the merrier!
