Houston punk veterans 30footFall have joined forces with People of Punk Rock Records. The label has already announced first-ever vinyl releases of the band’s 2002 album The Doppler Effect and their live record 10yearsandstillFALLING. They’ve also teased plans for new music!
30footFall formed in 1993, and have released four full-length albums, including 1997’s Acme-143 on Fearless Records and 1999’s Ever Revolving, Never Evolving on Nitro Records. Will 2023 end their 20+ year LP drought? Stay tuned to find out!

Today marks the release of Green Day‘s 25th Anniversary Nimrod reissue. On top original studio album, the reissue also includes 14(!) previously unreleased demos and a 20-song live set recorded at Philadelphia’s Electric Factory in 1997. Nimrod XXV is available as a 5xLP vinyl box set (which Amazon is selling at a 14% discount right now), but if you just want to listen to it, you can do so below.
Nimrod was originally released on October 14th, 1997. It was Green Day’s third released on major label Reprise Records, and their fifth LP overall. It spawned hit singles in “Nice Guys Finish Last”, “Hitchin’ a Ride”, and of course, “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)”. The album peaked at #10 on the Billboard 200 and went on to sell over two million copies in the US, earning double platinum certification from the RIAA.
Listening to the demos included in this reissue for the first time was pretty damn cool. The Ramones “Chain Saw” cover isn’t anything to write home about, but raw recordings of songs like “Jinx”, “The Grouch”, and “Desensitized” are great. I found the original version of the acoustic track “When It’s Time” to be the most interesting (this later went on to be re-recorded for the Broadway adaptation of American Idiot).

Our pals at Red Scare Industries have announced they will be reissuing Chicago punk band Sludgeworth‘s long out of print Losers of the Year LP.

Losers of the Year was originally released on CD in 1995 through Lookout! Records. This is the career-spanning compilation album’s first-ever pressing on vinyl. It will also be getting a CD/digital release with two previously unreleased bonus tracks.
This is a highly sought after record among pop-punk collectors, and it’s going fast. Head over to Red Scare’s webstore to grab your copy (and be sure to snag SACK‘s new record while you’re there, that beast is finally available on vinyl, too!).

Hello, and welcome to the latest installment of the Dying Scene Record Radar! If it’s your first time joining us, thank you! This is a weekly column where we cover all things punk rock vinyl. So kick off your shoes, pull up a chair, grab a few beers, and break out those wallets, because it’s time to run through this week’s new releases and reissues. Let’s get into it!
Pulley‘s 1999 self-titled record got reissued a few years ago by Spanish indie label La AgonĂa de Vivir. It was limited to 500 copies, and it sold out pretty fuckin’ quick. Good news! If you missed out on the first run, they’ve repressed the record once again, with 200 copies on grey colored vinyl, and 300 on black vinyl. Go here to grab it, or don’t and regret it forever (or until they repress it again).
Up next is yet another classic skate punk reissue from La AgonĂa de Vivir: Adhesive‘s 1996 ripper Sideburner. Like the Pulley record, this is the second run of these, and it’s also on 500 copies (200 “milky clear”, and 300 on black vinyl). Get your copy here.
The Clash‘s iconic self-titled debut album is getting repressed on some purdy hot pink wax in honor of “National Album Day”. This is the first time I’ve been alerted to this holiday’s existence, I guess it’s some Bri’ish thing, innit? Amazon seems to be the cheapest place to get this one, and even then it’ll cost you 40 god damn freedom dollars!
Sorry if I sound like a broken record complaining about prices, but holy fuck! The thousand dollar tickets to Blink-182‘s upcoming “reunion tour” aren’t the only thing that’s pricey. Their new record – their first with Tom DeLonge since 2011’s Neighborhoods – is $37 fucking dollars!!! Holy Christ my brothers. Check out the first single below (it blows ass in my humble opinion, but you’re free to form your own opinion), and buy the record here if you want.
In case you didn’t know, Green Day‘s Nimrod is another record that turns 25 years old this year! They’re going all out for the album’s birthday, with a 5xLP box set featuring previously unreleased demos (check one out below!) and a live album recorded on their 1997 tour in support of Nimrod (there’s a poster and some other shit, too). Save some money by grabbing this one from our friends at 1-2-3-4 Go! Records – they have free shipping on orders over $75 and this box set clears that hurdle by a fair margin. Get it here.
Masked Intruder‘s sophomore album M.I. is back in print on colored vinyl thanks to the good people at Fat Wreck Chords. What color? I have no clue! The people at Fat are a secretive bunch. But hey, if you want this, or your a collector nerd and want the new variant regardless, you can acquire it here.
Also from Fat: Cobra Skulls‘ last 7″ Eagle Eyes is 10 years old, and the band is kinda back in action, so they reissued it as a 12″ EP with some bonus tracks. They did reveal the color for this one, and boy is it a sight for sore eyes. Buy it here (US), here (EU), or here (Down Under).
Lavasocks Records is releasing Canadian party punk folk heroes The Smugglers‘ 1993 album In the Hall of Fame on vinyl for the very first time! Grab your copy of the 2xLP on gold colored vinyl here.
Millencolin‘s Life on a Plate is back in print for the first time in a few years, with two brand new colors of wax. Newbury Comics has a cool “orange and cloudy clear” variant that you can get here, while Brooklyn Vegan has it on red vinyl which you can buy here.
While you’re visiting Newbury Comics to grab that Millencolin record, perhaps you’d like to get this new pressing of Bad Religion‘s latest record? This exclusive blue variant of Age of Unreason is available here. It’s limited to 500 copies.
Speaking of retailer exclusive variants (who came up with that idea anyway?), my fellow Central Floridians at Smartpunk have some super exclusive, limited pressings of two Interrupters records: Say it Out Loud and Fight the Good Fight. Very nice! You can get these here.
Here’s an upcoming release I’m personally very excited about. It’s an LP from Wrong Life featuring their first two EPs and some new bonus tracks. If you’re unfamiliar, this is former Murderburgers frontman Fraser’s current project (they were included in our Ten Underrated Bands feature a few months ago!). I highly recommend giving this a listen below, and grabbing the LP here (US), or here (EU).
Remember last week when we brought you the breaking news(!!!) that NOFX‘s So Long and Thanks for All the Shoes had a 25th Anniversary reissue on the way? Of course you do! Anyway, Epitaphstill hasn’t officially announced this thing, but it seems a few retailers have jumped the gun and launched their pre-orders early. Loud Pizza Records has the US indie exclusive “Neapolitan Striped” variant listed on their webstore, and Danish retailer imusic.co has a brown color variant on their online store. Stay tuned for more!
RECORD OF THE WEEK!
We here at Dying Scene are all about trying new things, so this week I’m challenging you, loyal reader, to listen to something new! Or, in this case, something kinda old that is likely new to you! This week’s Record of the Week comes from my favorite hometown ska band Victims of Circumstance. These guys have released many albums – five to be exact – but 2011’s Acupunkture is the only one to receive a vinyl release. Coincidentally, this is also one of my all-time favorite ska-punk albums (it’s right up there with Less Than Jake‘s Losing Streak), and for the asking price of just $12 it’s a fucking steal. Buy this record!!!
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, 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 week!

Green Day have announced that they will be reissuing Nimrod for its 25th anniversary. Along with the album, the reissue will include 14 previously unreleased demos and a 15-track live album that was recorded at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia in 1997. The reissue will be out January 27 digitally, on 5xLP vinyl box set, and as a 3 CD box set. The box sets both come with a 20-page book, cloth patch, and commemorative backstage pass. A previously unreleased demo called "You Irritate Me" has also been released. Check out the video and tracklist below.
For the uninitiated, Sludgeworth are Chicago punk pioneers from the 1980’s that released a posthumous collection/discography album on Lookout! Records back in the day—and it sold tens of thousands of copies, which was impressive for a defunct band. With members of Screeching Weasel, they had obvious leanings towards melodic punk, but they also had a quintessential Midwest sound mixed in with some post-punk. Think Naked Raygun and Fugazi. And now, for the first time ever, Red Scare brings you Losers of the Year on vinyl. Their first and only LP! And we didn’t stop there: we’ve added two unreleased songs to the CD and digital version of this album. Wild, right?! The band actually broke up in the studio (drama!) during a recording session, but we’ve managed to salvage some of that unheard material for this milestone release. Once again, it’s Red Scare to the rescue!

That’s not a full-length album 🙂
