This week’s Record Radar starts with a bang! We’re pleased to bring you this exclusive first look at Savannah, Georgia Ramonescore troupe the Manarovs‘ brand new record Callsign:Proton. Mom’s Basement Records is releasing the LP on two sweet color variants (just look at ’em!), as well as black vinyl, and Memorable But Not Honorable will be releasing the album cassette.
Pre-orders go live Friday, March 15th. Mom’s Basement will have an exclusive T-Shirt bundle available on their webstore. Stardumb Records will have copies in Europe and Brassneck Records has our British friends covered. Here’s a few tracks from Callsign:Proton to tide you over:
You probably already heard about the new NOFX EP, but in case you didn’t already hear about the new NOFX EP, I’m here to tell you about the new NOFX EP! Did I mention there’s a new NOFX EP? Half Album follows Single Album and Double Album, featuring 5 songs that didn’t make the cut for either of those albums (which doesn’t inspire much confidence if I’m being frank). fatwreck.com and Fat’s EU/UK store are sold out of colored vinyl, but their Australian store still has some copies in stock. Black wax is still available everywhere. The lead single “I’m a Rat” is a song Fat Mike wrote, Hi-Standard covered(?), and now can be heard as performed by NOFX:
Smartpunk Records has brand new exclusive variants of Chicago punk legends 88 Fingers Louie‘s Behind Bars and Back on the Streets up for pre-order. Both are limited to 300 hand numbered copies and should ship in mid-May. I suppose it’s also worth noting these are the 2019 remix/remastered versions of these records. Grab your copies here and use code SPMAILINGLIST for 10% off your order. Also if anyone with the means to repress Thank You For Being a Friend happens to be reading this, I’d like to take a moment to let you know you should do that! No clue why I didn’t buy that fucking record before Bird Attack kicked the bucket.
Belgian melodic punks For I Am will be releasing their fourth album The Righteous & The Wicked on April 19th. The color variants for this one are bad ass and we like bad ass variants here on the Record Radar. The spiral variant is exclusive to Pee Records down undah, the multi-color splatter and bone color variants are available from Double Helix in the US and SBAM in Europe, and the green marble colored wax is for sale on the For I Am Bandcamp.
Speaking of SBAM, they’ve got some other cool shit on their store, so let’s talk about that! New variants of Guttermouth‘s Covered With Ants have popped up, seemingly unannounced. Click here to get it on purple and/or teal colored vinyl. Or wait a few weeks for SBAM’s next 60% off fire sale! lol
And completing the SBAM Records triple play is Orange County pop-punk band Taken Days, who just released their brand new album Any Minute. Get it on “sun” and/or “moon” colored vinyl (limited to 150 copies each) riiiiight here.
Canadian skate punks Handheld are celebrating their 25th Anniversary with a new live album! Live At 25 was recorded last October at The Revive in Waterloo, Ontario and is due out on May 10th. Thousand Islands Records has the “Candyland” color variant up for pre-order on their store. If you want the “Sassy Salmon Slap” color variant, that one’s only gonna be available at shows.
Ink Bomb is a cool-ass punk band from the Netherlands and they’ve got a new record coming very soon! Saudade is due out on April 3rd and you can grab it on blue colored wax here. Check out the latest single “Pressure Cooker” and head over to Bandcamp for more. These guys (and girl) are great! Highly recommended listening for those who share my appreciation of No Fun At All.
Italy’s Hey Suburbia Records is releasing San Francisco hardcore punk band Spitboy’s 1994 compilation album on vinyl for the first time, with 500 copies on red colored wax. This one’s due out April 15th and you can pre-order it here. The Forced Exposure distro carries all of Hey Suburbia’s releases in the US, so if you wanna save on shipping wait til they get some copies in stock.
South Carolina hardcore veterans Stretch Arm Strong surprise-released a new EP this week. The Revealing is the band’s first new music since 2005. There’s a grand total of 9 variants for this one (not quite as many as the new Green Day record, but still a fuckload). Usually bands / labels make it easy to find all the places to buy retailer exclusive variants by setting up a Linktree or some shit, but they did not do that. Lucky for you, I like wasting my time on pointless shit, so I’ve collected links to where you can buy all these variants. Here ya go:
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 time!

Check out the video edition of this week’s Record Radar, presented by our friends at Punk Rock Radar:
This week’s first record is from The Yum Yums, a great bubblegum pop-punk band from Norway. They have a new record called Poppin’ Up Again due out next month on Screaming Apple Records. It’s available to pre-order on black wax (limited to 500 copies) right here, and shiny red vinyl (100 copies) right here. Unfortunately, no tracks are streaming yet, but if you haven’t already heard of the Yum Yums just know that they have my ringing endorsement. If you don’t trust my opinion, just check out their last record:
2 hours down I-4 from yours truly, Orlando, Florida’s Suck Brick Kid are releasing a new record on local label Smartpunk Records. If you enjoy newer pop-punk, you’ll wanna pick up a copy of The End is What I Want on one of these pleasantly named color variants: Urinal Cake Vinyl (ltd. 100), and/or Shit ‘n Piss Vinyl (ltd. 400). Check out a few tracks below and pre-order the record here – it’s due out May 17th.
New Jersey pop-punk veterans The Ergs have announced a 2xLP 20th Anniversary reissue of the cult favorite dorkrockcorkrod. LP1 is the original mix, remastered by Justin Perkins (Screeching Weasel, the Riverdales, the Manges, etc.) at Mystery Room Mastering. LP2 is a brand new 20th Anniversary remix of the album, completed by Steve Albini using the original master tapes. This one’s due out June 5th on Don Giovanni Records; not sure how many copies were pressed but the splatter variant looks pretty sweet. Get it here.
Rancid‘s B Sides and C Sides compilation LP seems to be getting its first official repress in a decade, as a random pre-order has popped up on Amazon with a listed street date of May 3rd. Details are nebulous at the moment; aside from the cover art looking pink instead of red, I’ve seen some conflicting information. Amazon and this store both list Pirates Press as the label, but one says its a Double LP and the other does not. There also seems to be some debate about the release date. I rolled the dice and pre-ordered it, surely Bezos won’t disappoint.
The Circle Jerks and Descendents are on tour with the Adolescents right now (no, you did not just step out of a time machine in the mid-80’s). They celebrated the tour’s kickoff with a 7″ on which they cover a few of each others’ classic songs. The Descendents take on “Red Tape”, “I Want Some Skank”, and “Beverly Hills”; the Circle Jerks put their spin on “Kabuki Girl” and “Hope”.
Like a lot of the shows on the tour, literally every variant of this 7″ sold out fast as hell. The (potentially) good new is, you can (potentially) get a copy from the bands’ merch tables on tour. There’s a tour exclusive splatter variant, limited to 500 copies and signed by both bands (it seems these are limited to 20 per show), and it sounds like they’ll both have the red color variant as well. Peep the dates here.
Denver punks SPELLS have a new record coming out on April 11th on Rad Girlfriend, Shield Recordings, and a few other venerable labels. Check out the lead single from Past Our Prime below and pre-order the record on “Snowy White” and/or “Blade Bullet” colored vinyl right here. The first 80 people to pre-order will get a hand numbered alternate cover art print. Cool!
Another leak from big dawg Bezos at Amazon.com – looks like The Dwarves are releasing a new “mini LP” not even 6 months after their latest record Concept Album. Keep It Reel features 7 new songs, 2 remixes, and “All for You” from the band’s aforementioned 2023 LP. Here’s the tracklist:
1. One Musketeer 2. Voodoo 3. Kinda Konsensual 4. Nobody Fucked You 5. I Had a Dream 6. Blast Off 7. Parasite 8. Invisible People 9. We Won’t Skate 10. All For You
Pop-punk supergruppe The Phase Problem‘s lineup includes members of Squirtgun, The Murderburgers, City Mouse, and a bunch of other great bands. Their 2023 debut album was 10 years in the making. Luckily the wait for album #2 was not nearly as long; The Power of Positive Thinking is due out next month on Lavasocks Records (US), Brassneck Records (UK), and Stardumb Records (EU). The record features guest appearances from Heather Tabor from the Teen Idols and original Squirtgun frontman Matt Hart, among others. It’s limited to 250 copies on red w/ yellow splatter colored vinyl. Pre-order this shit!
One of the marquee releases featured on the last Record Radar was NOFX‘s new EP Half Album. At the time, all the color variants were sold out, but since then a new variant on “green-gold” colored vinyl (whatever that means) has popped up on some European distros including Green Hell Records, Coretex Records, and Cruise Records. Supposedly this is limited to 500 copies and exclusive to German indie stores. I guess if you missed out on all the others (or you’re sick in the head and collect every NOFX variant) this is a good option for you to import.
Israeli punks Free Sergio new record The Nail in the Coffee is being released on vinyl by our friends at Punk Rock Radar, Cat’s Claw Records and High End Demin Records. Limited to 100 copies on yellow wax, this is a highly recommended pickup for fans of melodic punk with a harder edge (No Fun At All, Satanic Surfers, Belvedere, etc.). There’s even some ska-core sprinkled in here and there. Check the record out below and pre-order it here (US), here (Canada), or here (UK).
Washington State melodic punks Hilltop Rats are back with a new record for the first time in a long time. I’m about halfway through my first listen as I’m typing this and can confidently proclaim this is a god damn banger. Life You Lead is out now on Felony Records, with three bitchin’ color variants; one of those already sold out so quit fucking around and get your copy.
Everyone’s favorite Green Day album Warning is back in print on colored vinyl for the first time in a decade. The new Florescent Green color variant is up for pre-order everywhere but ol’ reliable Amazon is probably the cheapest place you can get it.
Dutch pop-punks Jetlag Jenny have a new 3-song EP called Animal Escapades due out April 19th on White Russian Records. Check out one of the tracks below and click this link to grab the 7″ on green and/or blue colored vinyl (each limited to 125 copies).
Days N Daze are releasing an LP of demos from recording session for their latest album Show Me the Blueprints. That includes five (5) never-before-heard songs. Very cool! The record is streaming now but the physical release won’t be out on SBÄM Records ’til May 31st. Get it here on one (or all three) of the following color variants: Dopamine, Cosmic Green, Dirty Orange. Limited to 200 copies each.
German punks Resolutions are releasing their sophomore album Monster Mirror on May 24th via End Hits Records. The lead single “Drop Dead” is great and the record comes in a pretty sweet looking reflective silver jacket. 3 variants: 50x lobster red, 200x black / white swirl (get both of those here), and 50x dewdrop (get it at the band’s shows).
New York pop-punk band Egghead (whose existence I’m just now being alerted to) released a compilation album called Dumb Songs for Smart People on Mutant Pop Records in 1999. 25 years later, it’s being released on vinyl for the first time thanks to the friendly people at Dead Broke Rekerds and Mom’s Basement Records. And as I finished writing this and went to look for links to pre-order I realized this shit is not up for pre-order lmaooooo. Well, when it is, it’ll be available on red and white color variants. Also probably worth noting these guys are playing some shows with the Ergs and Boris the Sprinkler in July.
Well, that’s all, folks. Another Record Radar in the books. As always, thank you for tuning in.
