March 26, 2023 | 4:58 pm

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. So kick off your shoes, pull up a chair, crack open a […]

If you don’t feel like reading, check out the video edition of this week’s Record Radar, presented by our friends at Punk Rock Radar:

Another week, another NOFX repress. S&M Airlines is back in print on colored vinyl once again. Epitaph pressed 2,000 copies on this slick orange w/ neon green splatter color variant. Available here in the US / here in Australia.

Did you know the new Bouncing Souls record came out this week? Anyway, Pure Noise Records just put this bundle up on their webstore: it includes alternate cover art and a slipmat. Limited to 100 hand numbered copies. Here’s our review of Ten Stories High in case ya missed it!

New Junk City‘s 2022 LP Beg a Promise is getting a second pressing on three new color variants: Clear w/ Pink Splatter (200), Cream (200), and Powder Blue (100). You can get ’em all here.

Chicago punk veterans The Bollweevils have announced their first new album in 14(!) years. Essential is due out May 5th on Red Scare. Check out one of the tracks below and pre-order the record here.

Public Serpents‘ new album is out now on SBÄM Records. If you like crusty ska-core, pick this record up. The band is fronted by former Choking Victim drummer Skwert; this is their first new album in 15 years. The Bully Puppet is available on two color variants, limited to 250 copies each. Get yours here (US) or here (EU).

Another awesome release from our friends at SBÄM is Vegas punks Mercy Music‘s upcoming album What You Stand to Lose. Check out the music video for lead single “Love you/Need you” below and pre-order the record here. Recommended if you like The Flatliners.

I already mentioned this one in a previous Record Radar, but I wanna circle back to it real quick: Bridge The Gap‘s debut LP Secret Kombinations was released this week on People of Punk Rock Records. This is a great record, and they now have copies available on their US webstore! Only like 22 bucks after shipping, pick that shit up. Read my review here.

The first pressing of Santa Cruz hardcore band DRAIN‘s new album Living Proof is moving pretty quick, so Epitaph threw up two more color variants. Each is limited to 700 copies. Buy it here.

Last but not least, we have French melodic punks Burning Heads who are reissuing not one, but two of their records: 1994’s Dive and 1996’s Super Modern World. Our friends at Melodic Punk Style have a limited number of copies on their Bandcamp. Get the bundle with both LPs and save $11! And be sure to check out all the other awesome records while you’re over there.

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!

DS Record Radar: This Week in Punk Vinyl (The Chinkees, Alkaline Trio, Groovie Ghoulies, Samiam & many more)

February 12, 2023 | 10:57 am

Greetings, and welcome to the Dying Scene Record Radar. If it’s your first time here, thank you for joining us! This is a 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 […]

Asian Man Records is starting this week’s column with a bang ? The Chinkees‘ three full-length albums are getting their first new pressings in over 20 years! Or, in the case of 2001’s Searching For A Brighter Future, the first vinyl release ever. The Chinkees are coming! Pre-order these ska masterpieces here.

In case you somehow missed the news earlier this week, Samiam announced their first new album in over a decade. Stowaway is due out March 31st on Pure Noise Records. On the vinyl side of things, there are a ton of color variants. Our friends at 1-2-3-4 Go! Records have an exclusive (ltd. to 300 copies), which you can get here. Pure Noise has one variant left in stock on their US store and UK store. If you’re fine with plain jane black vinyl, Amazon‘s the cheapest place to grab a copy.

About a month ago Striped Music launched pre-orders for their first pressing of Screeching Weasel‘s 30th anniversary Anthem For A New Tomorrow reissue. It was limited to 500 copies on pink vinyl and it sold out in a few hours, with Striped promising a second pressing will be coming. Good news! You don’t have to wait for that second pressing because some more copies have popped up here. I’m sure shipping to the US is horrendous, but this is good for our European friends who missed out initially. Recess Records should be putting up pre-orders for their variants at some point.

Check out my review of the fully remixed / remastered 30th anniversary Anthem For A New Tomorrow!

Epitaph Records repressed a bunch of stuff this week, so we’re filing all this under Epitaph Stuff. The first piece of Epitaph Stuff is a Choking Victim‘s No Gods / No Managers, back in print on clear vinyl, limited to 500 copies. Like the other Epitaph Stuff we’ll be covering, the only place to get this is the label’s Kings Road Merch store.

Our next piece of Epitaph Stuff is a long awaited repressing of Alkaline Trio‘s This Addiction. This bad boy’s back in print for the first time since its 2010 release (can you believe that was 13 fucking years ago?! ?). It’s limited to 1,000 copies on “Toxic Green” colored vinyl and you can buy it with money here.

Off With Their Heads‘ Home turns 10 this year (time sure does fly), and it’s getting repressed for the first time since its initial release. They’re also playing the album in its entirety on their upcoming tour. Get the new black w/ gold swirl color variant (limited to 500 copies) here.

And our last piece of Epitaph Stuff is actually a new release! Santa Cruz hardcore punx DRAIN announced their new album Living Proof. It’s due out on May 5th. Check out a few tracks below and go here for links to buy all the different color variants. Or save some money and grab the black wax on Amazon.

Alright, now that Epitaph’s finished hogging the spotlight, here’s an awesome new record we told you about earlier this week, but we’re circling back to because maybe you missed it. It’s a brand spankin’ new LP from UK ska-punks Faintest Idea, due out March 31st on TNS Records and Jump Start Records. Check out the first single “Nose Dive” below and pre-order the record here (US) or here (UK).

Newbury Comics has a colored vinyl reissue of the Groovie Ghoulies‘ 1999 LP Fun in the Dark (limited to 300 copies) up on their store. Our European friends can grab an ever-so-slightly different color variant on Stardumb Records‘ webstore. Shit, with how much Newbury charges for records, it might even make sense for my fellow Americans to order from Stardumb (shipping might kill it idk, it’s worth looking into though). This Lookout! Records classic is another record that’s been out of print for 20+ years.

Bringing up the rear on this week’s Record Radar is a brand new release from our friends at Punk Rock Radar. They’re putting out British punk band Clayface‘s debut LP Ailments with a bunch of other awesome labels like Cat’s Claw Records and White Russian Records. Check out the music video for the killer lead single below and lookout for pre-orders launching March 10th.

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 week!
