LPR-059 LANDLORD "No Matter Where You Live"
(Split Release with Halfday)
|
Committing Landlord's first release to vinyl will hopefully further reveal the truth about them, which is that they have yet to write a bad song. Their releases have varied in recording quality, but their exploitation of traditional pop-song structures has always worked to their advantage. If you love any song by this band, you're gonna love them all, and when they hit a home run, as they do often, it's as sweet as any pop song you've heard. This record sounds the rawest, but the melodies sail clear over it all, making for the perfect mix of punk rock blaring out of the basement and a B-side from The Kinks or something. If anything, this record makes the point that if a song is written well, it doesn't need to sound perfect. If it's played a little rough around the edges, that's fine, there's another one on the way.( 300 black records pressed. w/ handmade painted, stenciled, and screen printed covers. these records are beautiful.) |

DD Fanclub President

The Socrates of the now-punks? Only time-and the beard growth-will tell.

LPR-062 SHANG-A-LANG "Waiting for the End"
|
| I suppose somewhat appropriately Shang-A-Lang's last record of new material, titled"Waiting for the End" will be released on the first week of what many consider the last year of human existance. Shang-A-Lang has been an incredibly prolific band over the past few years, having done countless splits (really, I can't count them), several 7 inches, an LP/CD, and a Collections LP. The release is between 7 labels that have helped the band out in various ways over the past several years: Dirt Cult, Fast Crowd, Silver Sprocket, Dead Broke, Let's Pretend, No Breaks, and Drunken Sailor (UK). Each label will have 118 copies. These five songs are probably the best SAL material to date, which makes the break-up even more bittersweet. |
|
LPR-060 TENEMENT / CHEEKY Split
(Split release w/ NO BREAKS)
|
| What is North-East Wisconsin known for? Ed Gein....Joe McCarthy...Vince Lombardi...and now, apparently, the manic-depressive boy group, TENEMENT. They drop two tracks of bruised music here, sure to light a fire under your feet, and prove to both the punks AND the squares that it's okay to sweat THE DESCENDENTS and BIG STAR simultaneously. The now-defunct Brooklyn garage pop group, CHEEKY, light up side B with two angry MUFFS-style anthems that have nothing to do with love or heartbreak, and everything to do with getting real or getting lost! So buy this shit or get a clue! (Members of CHEEKY have moved onto BIG EYES and BIG SODA, for those who need to know.) (400 records pressed on BLACK!) |
|
LPR-046 Vacation "Dream Dad"
(Split Release with Sidejar Records)
|
| You can throw three dudes in front of a camera and make them smile for a band picture, but true chemistry is completely impossible to fake, and it's something that positively bleeds from each track on Vacation's new 7" Dream Dad. Two songs from their debut Do Shit Tape are reprised here, but are played with the familiarity and vigor of old standards, elevating them to downright anthem status. Meanwhile, the new songs here act as round two in Vacation's seemingly endless game of "how many unruly, earworm-worthy hooks can we jam into one song?". It's punk that flirts with the borders of noise rock and lo-fi grit, Danzig-era Misfits on a steady diet of helium and pixie sticks, but most importantly, it's the vital kind of music that doesn't just constantly press the pleasure button; it's dropped a 50-pound weight on it.(580 pressed, 100 on clear Orange wax and 480 on black) |
|
LPR-045 Brickfight/Liarbirds split 7"
|
| Watch out! Pop punk cosmic taco split! Minneapolis's melodic trio, Liarbirds, bust out some sing-songy shit about Minnesota snow routes, neurotic infatuation, and smokin' weed from our very own planet. Chicago 4-piece, Brickfight, bring you the sweetest drunken lullabies that prove punk rockers have the biggest fuckin' hearts. Taco/bong-Chicago-rooftop-party core art by Ben Snakepit. (400 records pressed on black vinyl) |
|
LPR-039 Trainwreck Riders/Pine Hill Haints split 7''
|
| West Coast Buzzards meet Tennessee Ghost Country Ramblers somewhere between the 1990’s and 1890’s. These two groups of friends trade songs that are in some ways very different sounding and in other ways perfectly complimentary. The Trainwreck Riders out of San Francisco offer two songs layered with heavy guitar and heartbreaking lyrics. Mixed with an addictive pace, you can’t help bob your head to it the next time they roll into town. Pine Hill Haints deliver a much more trimmed down approach. Choosing to highlight one string bass and accordion with fiddle, banjo, guitar and snare drum too, the Haints push the songs dark southern themes through their blend of old traditional string music and creepy punk rock roots. Both sides hold a perfect balance between having a good recording and still staying true to their rollicking live shows.(110 on clear wax and 440 on black wax) |
SOLD OUT! |
LPR-038 New creases/It Good "Make up your mind'' split 7''
(Split label with No Breaks Records)
|
| New Creases is a new band from Columbus, Ohio and they are going to be huge. It's for sure. These two songs are catchy as fucking shit without being overly poppy. If you like pop punk with female and male vox, this will make you shit your pants and feel great about it. On the other side is IT GOOD with Jordan from Rock Paper Stupid and 2009 (new band from NY). This side has three punk as fuck jams, including the kickass first song called Sho' Nuff. (400 of these records were made on black and some other colors of wax!) |
|
LPR-037 TWEAK BIRD/ IT BURNS SPLIT 7''
|
| Tweakbird backs out the lowered, interstellar Coup de Ville, rolls up the drugs with one hand, and crushes the outer spaceway. It Burns wipes blood on its jeans, pours sour mash in its wounds, and lights that cop car on fire. Bludgeoning astro-stoner riffs and tough-as-shit biker punk. ( 100 ON CLEAR WAX AND 400 ON BLACK!) |

Then put this record on, take a deep breath and enjoy 4 of the finest songs Let's Pretend Records has ever had the pleasure of releasing. 3 of the songs are just barely over a minute long with a triumphant closing track.

LPR - 033 Cruddy "Self-titled"
(Split label with Basement Screen)
|
| A reductionist approach to the already minimal, CRUDDY's debut EP takes the angular angst of Wire and Black Flag and eliminates the negative space, compressing six songs into a dense, noisy brick of inedible fruitcake. Featuring members of Total Abuse and Party Garbage. Split release with the band's own Basement Scream imprint. First (and only?) pressing: 300 copies on black vinyl. |
|
LPR - 032 Nighty Night "Belle"
|
| Five small-town ramblers from deep in the woods of Carbondale unleash a set of toe-taps that exist somewhere between the AM and FM of whiskey hits. Nighty Night has stumbled upon the fist-pumps within swaying folk lullabies, leaving you with 3 dreamy, reverb-covered fairy tales. (500 Pressed/400 on Black/100 on White. 32 Test Press Editions w/ Different Cover)

|
LPR - 029 Vacation Bible School/Bi-Furious Split
(Split Label with Lucky Gator Records) |

|
|
LPR - 028 It Burns
(Split Label with Beercan Records) |
| This record will have you pissing in your pants and send you crying home to mommy. Fast, heavy, kinda hard-core, kinda rock n roll, and some ripping guitar solos that will make you remember why satan is so fucking cool. Songs about shitty landlords, bike rides, pizza parties, getting the fuck out of there town (carbondale, IL) and only doing things that are fun. very solid punk rock record! (400 records were pressed on black wax!)
|
|
LPR - 027 Blotto/Conniption Fitts/Sass Dragons/Prohibition
(Split Label with ADD) |
| Four original, unreleased tracks by each band, following the time-tested-and-true formula of Snuffy Smiles. Pretend that Japan wasn’t another continent, that it fit right in place of California, and these bands could van pool to the other parts of America. Blotto: Ask, “Who is the Japanese Bruce Springsteen when they slow down”? Would they sound like The Tim Version? Yes. A little bit, but with sake instead of whiskey. Kampai! Conniption Fits: Channeling underground Orange County punk rock that too few folks know about, in the vein of The Pegs and The Drips: crunchy, punchy, guitar-driven rock. Sass Dragons: A Chicago-an Dwarves-style hardcore—with a Black Sabbath hiccup—by three dudes who aren’t that tough but have a more-than-significant-amount of chest hair between them. Prohibition: From the Minnesota of Japan, a song that’s both Blitz and Replacements and neither and both at the same time. Just imagine them in Viking helmets and tight underwear playing in your front room. Record stuffs: Pressing of 500, all mixed color.

| A split 7 inch from two of New Brunswick, NJ's finest, Full of Fancy and Screaming Females. The disc has two exclusive tracks from each of these female fronted power trios. All the songs were recorded at The Hunt Studio. A very creative yet cute pop punk sound comes blaring off the full of fancy side.

LPR - 023 Das Kapital "Punk House Heaven" |
| When listening to this band you obviously know they're from Chicago, with their punk rock anthems and steady sound. Title track "punk house heaven" is about past and present punk houses visited by these fine young gents. "Damn I'm fucking drunk!" The other two songs are very good, powerful, punk hits. If you want to know what it's like to be a lowlife in Chicago, check out this record. Fuck you up and get high. (Two hundred records pressed on mustard colored vinyl.)

LPR - 018 Shang-a-Lang "Summertime" 7" |

LPR - 020 Spokesmen "Self-titled" EP |
| Carbondale Grime Rock trifecta. Like if those hosers in Fugazi and Hot Snakes got nasty speedball habits, locked themselves in the basement of the house down the street that the pigs won't go to if called, and laid down 9-tracks to help themselves from getting dope sick. 300 copies with screenprinted digi-packs. |
|
LPR - 019 Sass Dragons "Bonkaroo!"
(Split label with Johann's Face) |
| This 16-song full length from your favorite Chicago hearth throbs will have you creaming in your pants and wanting more. I don't know if punk rock gets any better than this. Songs about bong rips, hating your job, and getting boners and how deadly they can really be. If you're sensitive this is not for you. |
|
LPR - 016 Prizzy Prizzy Please "Self-titled" Full Length |

| Carbondale biker punks, It Burns, puke out three new bitchin' jams. The first two tracks have that sweet, d-beat sound. Track two is a cover of "nat nytt maste komma" by Diskonto. The side ends with a shredder of a song. These guys give zero fucks! Naw Dude (Austin, TX) is keeping shit the realest with four short, brutal, old school hardcore tunes.

LPR-047 PARLOR "full length''
|
| Debut full length from a Carbondale, IL trio. Atmospheric garage rock with rhythmic, chanting three-part singing. "...the vocals swap roles with the rhythm section while the instruments tell the story..." Minimalist guitar bounces around the riffing bass and drums held together by airy vocals. More upbeat early Pink Floyd-esq, "the Yardbirds meets a Johnny Quest safari". Instruments on speed, vocals on acid. Music that's able to soundtrack any trip or binge and will leave you wanting more songs and even more drugs. "Find a head that fits your body" (100 yellow pressed tapes made with two color hand screen printed o-card covers) |

|
LPR - 040 Prizzy Prizzy Please "Chroma Cannon"
(Split label with Joyful Noise Records)
|
| In an overzealous effort to make the best of unemployment, Prizzy Prizzy Please have gone plaid with Chroma Cannon. With a 30th century aesthetic, the album rockets through hyperactive hits that blend melodic noise punk (reminiscent of Parts and Labor, Lightning Bolt) with the spirit of fourth-quarter pump-up jams by Van Halen and the E Street Band. Though Chroma Cannon prominently displays Prizzy Prizzy Please’s technical prowess, the songs are thematically fixated on science fantasy and humor. The song “Pacific Garbage Patch” is a fictional first-person tale of a shopping bag surfing the waves to join the rest of his buddies in the Pacific Trash Vortex(1); and “Large Hadron Collider” is the story of ambitious Swiss(2) physicists who have an epiphanic encounter with a man from the future who warns them not to flush the Earth into a black hole. (200 tapes pressed.) |
|
LPR - 030 Nocturnal Feeding "Some Terrestrial Device" |
| Teenage sexscapes and psychodramas in the dusty haze of cheap highs. Las Vegas is a dark place especially when channeled from Bloomington, Indiana through the dirty mouth of the desperately self-medicated. This dude'd rather be in a tranced-out sludge metal band called "Deformed Birth", but, admittedly, does not have the chops for it. This is acoustic in a way that makes everything seem unpromising and gives you the feeling that something real bad's about to happen. 100 copies, or so, or whatever. |
|
LPR - 025 Adam Wagner/Rosie Schilling Split |
| This is a neat split tape featuring Adam Wagner on whiskey side and Rosie Schilling on weed side. Adam's side is 7 songs; three old-time traditional songs, three originals, one instrumental. Acoustic, banjo, porch sittin', whiskey drunk songs about heartbreak, cocaine, and fuckin' up. He's got the voice of too many cigarettes and cheap booze. Rosie's side is charming, simple, attic organ music. Relax, smoke a doobie, chill out. To end the tape is a collaborative song with Adam on banjo and Rosie on that organ, a creepy little number that makes you both shiver and sweat.
|
|
LPR - 022 Crow's Feet "Concertina" |
|
Crowsfeet is the solo expedition of Tommy from Shang-A-Lang.
His concept for the cassette "Concertina" was to add depth and space to acoustic songs without burying them. With straight forward lyrics and angsty undertones stemming from punk roots, "Concertina", is in most ways an experimental tape, measuring where the line is, if any, that bounds singer-songwriters to genre.

LPR - 13 Bi-Furious "Are Stoked!!!" E.P. |
| Recognize Bi-Furious sluts! The kinds of things that make Bi-Furious stoked and influence their song writings are self-loathing antics, smoking crack, and getting your head trampled in a circle pit. If you haven't grown hair on your balls yet, listen to this and it will be your Rogaine Balls out! That's all I can say.
