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 Punk Rock Radar:
Up first we’ve got Czech skate punks Rabies with their brand new record High on Sugar, due out May 15th. Check out the new single “MTV” down there 
and pre-order the record on black wax from Punk Rock Radar (US) and the band’s webstore in Europe.
Also coming out next month on Punk Rock Radar, it’s the new LP from Madrid, Spain’s WEAK! Strangers At Home is the band’s third full-length album and it’s available to pre-order now on orange and/or black vinyl from Punk Rock Radar here in the states, as well as La Agonia De Vivir in Spain, Morning Wood Records in the Netherlands, and Exabrupto Records in Mexico.
Refused is currently rolling off into the sunset on their final tour and they’re also releasing a “Final Version” of 1994’s This Just Might Be… the Truth. This reissue comes with bonus LP featuring a full album’s worth of previously unreleased demos from 1993. They’re also repressing Everlasting on “red gold” colored vinyl and Songs to Fan the Flames of Discontent on a beautiful “sparkle/starlight” variant. And finally, they’re re-releasing all three records on cassette! Send your money here.
Laura Jane Grace has a new record called Adventure Club due out July 18th and there are a bunch of beautiful color variants for you to choose from – or you can do the smart thing and just buy all of them! Why choose? You can find links to where you can pre-order all of the variants right here.
The good people at Revelation Records are releasing deluxe editions of all three Nerve Agents records. 1998’s self-titled LP and 2000’s Days of the White Owl have been out of print for over a decade, and this is the first time 2001’s The Butterfly Collection has ever been reissued. In other words, this is fuckin YUGE! Get all three records here.
Gainesville Rock City’s You Vandal have signed on with Euclid Place Records for the release of their brand new record This is Where People Come to Die, due out May 23rd and limited to 100 copies on beautiful transparent blue splatter colored vinyl. Check out the lead single “Feeling Zen -or- Covered in Shit” down below and pre-order the record here.
The Smoking Popes’ just released a brand new record called Lovely Stuff and you can get it on three two(!) color variants right here. I’m late to the draw on this one and the cool-ass Sweet Tart variant is already sold out. Oops!
Here’s a must have for the discerning pop-punk appreciator. Mike Erg! Grath Madden! A bunch of the other usual suspects! It’s Whimysland! with their new 7″ Bounty Bay, out now on Bloated Kat and Worst Idea Records here in the states, Stardbumb Records in Europe, and Waterslide Records in Japan. Available on “Bounty Bay Blue” colored vinyl and black wax. This shit is bad ass!
New Found Glory’s From the Screen to Your Stereo covers album is getting a 25th Anniversary reissue from Drive-Thru Records, with new cover art and three color variants to choose from. Get it here.
Just shy of its 40th anniversary (and out of print for as long), 7Seconds’ New Wind is getting a big time reissue thanks to Trust Records. The record has been remastered and comes with a 24-page book and – more notably – a bonus LP with a totally reimagined version of the album called Change In My Head, featuring two previously unreleased tracks. There are two variants up for pre-order on the Trust Records store, along with 7Seconds store exclusive, Revelation Records exclusive, and what looks like the retail variant on purple colored vinyl you can get on good ol Amazon.com.
Useless ID’s No Vacation from the World is being released on vinyl for the first time ever, 22 years after its original release on the beloved CD format (CD means “compact disc” btw for those not in the trade 
). Get it now on yellow colored vinyl!
Green Day is stealing a page from Blink 182’s playbook double dipping with a deluxe edition of a record that only came out a year ago. Saviors (édition de luxe) is a 2xLP set featuring 5 brand new bonus tracks and acoustic versions of 2 of the worst songs on the record! There are two variants – clear w/ pink splatter & pink w/ white splatter – each of which is supposedly limited to 2,500 copies. Either Green Day’s sales are down yuge or that’s bullshit because I find it hard to believe these haven’t sold out in a full-ass week. ANYWHO! You can get it here.
I told you about this big time reissue a few weeks ago, but it’s time to pay the piper now because it’s finally up for pre-order. The Gamits! Endorsed By You! 25th Anniversary! Featuring a resequenced tracklis and a handful of bonus live recordings, this is due out May 9th and you can pre-order it on yellow and/or green colored vinyl right here.
A year after its digital release, Quebec melodic punks XXsmile’s self-titled debut album makes its way to vinyl with an ultra-limited pressing of 100 copies on Lemonade Yellow colored wax. Head over to People of Punk Rock Records and snap this one up.
Speaking of old albums being released on vinyl for the first time, Bowling For Soup’s 2016 album Drunk Dynasty is being released on vinyl for the first time! 2022’s Pop Drunk Snot Bread is back in print, too, but that’s been released on vinyl before Double Helix Records has US exclusive variants up for pre-order on their store, while SBAM Records and Lockjaw Records have you covered in Europe and the UK. SBAM has some fancy uber limited “liquid filled” variants as well.
The almighty Hives have a new record on the way! The Hives Forever Forever The Hives is due out August 29th and you can get it on black & white splatter colored vinyl (signed by the band!), black wax and/or gold vinyl from the band’s webstore. There’s also a silver variant and signed version of the gold variant available exclusively from Rough Trade. Very cool! Check out the fuckin bad ass lead single “Enough is Enough”
UK power pop band The Speedways have a new 7″ singled Visiting Hours coming soon and you can pre-order it now on red, white, blue, and black vinyl right here. Co-released by Stardumb Records FOLC Records, and Beluga Records! Check out the wonderful title track below
We’re putting a bow on this week’s Record Radar with a big time DELUXE! reissue of My Chemical Romance’s 2004 breakout album Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. There are an absolute fuckload of variants for this thing. It’s got new cover art. It’s remixed! It’s got 4 bonus live tracks. And I don’t care what anyone says this record kicks ass! Find links to pre-order all 5 billion variants rite here.
