The legendary Empty Bottle put on a killer school night show in Chicago, Illinois with three great dark post-punk, new wave dance rock, and dream pop bands! Kill Scenes opened the night with dreamy, cinematic dream pop soundscapes. Palm Ghosts delivered a steady stream of moving melodic dance rock. Bellhead closed out the night with angst-ridden, post-punk jams. All three bands gave it their all ensuring the audience got their proper dose of mid-week darkness! Learn more about the Empty Bottle through this awesome book called The Empty Bottle Chicago: 21+ Years Music / Friendly / Dancing edited by John E. Dugan with a forward by John Darnielle.


Chicago’s own Bellhead delivered dark post-punk with female and male vocals, two basses, a drum machine, and no BS. Their combined voices were both haunting and angst-ridden. Their songs ranged from loud, punky bangers to softer melancholy tunes. They recently released a new EP titled Good Intentions. Their performance of their original tune “Valentine” and their cover of Love and Rockets’ “No Big Deal” from that record were killer! Bellhead proved that great songwriting and delivery are what’s important and they demonstrated that less can be more. Check out their tour dates here.


Palm Ghosts is a new wave-inspired post-punk rock band from Nashville. They brought their unique blend of post-punk to Chicago and made a room full of new fans! They recently released their Deconstructed album, which features remixed songs from their discography. They roared through a powerful set of songs that artfully bridged the opening and headlining bands. Check out their tour dates here


Kill Scenes is a Chicago-based dark dreampop group. Their set included non-stop dramatic melodic songs. Check out their tour dates here

Ian Watkins of Lostprophets stabbed in prison

In 2013, Ian Watkins of Lostprophets was sentenced to 29 years in prison by a Welsh court. The charges stemmed from 13 counts of sexual abuse of a minor, included attempted rape of a baby. Late last week, while in prison, Watkins was taken hostage by three other inmates. During a six hour ordeal, Watkins was stabbed multiple times by his captors, but did not suffer life threatening injuries. Eventually, prison guards were able to break up the situation. Police have issued a "no comment at this time" while they investigate the incident. Watkins is expected to be released in 2042.

Hot Chip long for a return to the purity of childhood on ‘Fire of Mercy’

<p>Hot Chip have always been a band that’s looked forward, pushing the innovative boundaries of both pop and electronic music with a futuristic mindset. But today (August 7) the celebrated project looks back, albeit with skeptical apprehension, via a chilled-out new single called “Fire of Mercy.” In collaboration with Malaysian-Irish producer and songwriter Yunè Pinku, “Fire of Mercy” is a rich and thoughtful piece of music soaked in ennui-flecked euphoria, and acts as the follow-up to last summer’s Freakout/Release album. And […]</p>

Sands feels the warmth and the chill on ‘When It Starts To Rain’

<p>We’ve joked more than a few times that this summer around New England has been a total washout. So it makes perfect sense for an artist from old England to come solid with a proper soundtrack. That’s what Sands delivers today (August 7) with “When It Starts To Rain,” a theatrical modern rock cruiser that feels the both the warmth and the chill like any seasonal storm of significant stature. “A daydream in a busy town kind of feel,” quips […]</p>

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:

Dine Alone Records has reissued (almost) every Gob record! This is the very first time any of these albums have been released on vinyl. They’re available individually for $22 CAD each, or in a 5 LP bundle for $100 CAD. That’s about 15 Freedom Dollars a piece for my fellow Americans; pretty good fuckin’ deal! Get your Gob records here.

Lagwagon‘s Let’s Talk About Feelings is the latest iconic in Fat Wreck’s back catalog to receive the 25th Anniversary reissue treament. Head over to the Fat webstore to get the colored 10″ record (editor’s note: the record pictured is the “EU Store” variant, available at BrakRock and Punk Rock Holiday).

Boris The Sprinkler’s Group Sex cover LP is getting its first ever vinyl release, thanks to Radiation Records‘ pop-punk imprint Hey Suburbia Records. Get it on pink colored wax (limited to 500 copies) here.

Ska-punk veterans Mustard Plug have announced their new album Where Did All My Friends Go?, due out September 8th on Bad Time Records. There are a bunch of color variants; my favorite is this Alternative Press exclusive yellow & black pinwheel variant. Check out the lead single “Fall Apart” below and go here for links to buy all the different variants.

German melodic punks Astronuts‘ debut album Dark Matters is out now on vinyl, with two color variants limited to 100 copies each. If you’re into No Use For A Name, Good Riddance, etc. you’ll dig these guys. No matter where you are in the world, there’s probably a label you can get this LP from – it’s being co-released by Punk Rock Radar (US), Cat’s Claw Records (UK), Johnny Be Good (EU), and Waterslide Records (JP).

Australian skate punk mainstays The Decline have a new record coming soon! Magical Misery Tour is a compilation of all the singles they’ve put out over the last few years. There are two color variants: orange galaxy & pink/purple marble w/ white splatter, each limited to 250 copies. You can get it from Pee Records in Australia, Thousand Islands Records in North America, Disconnect Disconnect Records in the UK, and Bearded Punk Records in Europe.

1-2-3-4 Go! Records just put out an exclusive variant of Jawbreaker‘s Bivouac a few weeks ago, but they’re back with another Jawbreaker exclusive. This time they’ve got the band’s 1990 debut Unfun on “Marble Masher” colored vinyl, limited to 474 hand numbered copies.

Keeping it in the East Bay, we’re wrapping up this week’s Record Radar with a surprise reissue of Knowledge’s A Gift Before I Go. The band fronted by Link 80’s Nick Traina recorded this album before the singer passed away. Asian Man Records released it on CD in 1998, and 25 years later it’s getting its first ever vinyl release. Grab a copy here.

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!
