THE BAR STOOL PREACHERS
GRAZIE GOVERNO 12"
AVAILABLE NOW!
Every decade or so a band comes along that inadvertently redefines punk simply by writing songs from the heart. They blur genres and change everything. Only the truly authentic, creative, and passionate punks ever write those ‘classic’ albums we all cherish. Their songs override cliques and categorizations and pre-conceived notions. Their anthems about the injustices of the world and broken hearts are going to be your obsession. They are going to take over the world.
Grazie Governo (“Thank You Government”) is the album that everyone angry and frustrated with the current political situation has been waiting for. The intelligent and passionate lyrics are backed by the unique, catchy, and creative songwriting that this band is becoming known for. It truly exemplifies the band’s incredible talents and uniqueness, and the energy and commitment that these UK upstarts are turning so many heads with.
With the success of their 2016 debut album Blatant Propaganda, this very motivated group of friends got some unreal touring opportunities, and have traveled a LOT of miles sharing their tunes and energy with thousands and thousands of people—and they’re not letting up anytime soon. They’ve played big shows to stadiums filled with Germans, and legendary club shows filled to the brim with sweaty punks, rude boys & girls and fans of all ages—and it doesn’t matter who they are playing with, or who they are playing to, they impress everyone—and have a great time doing it! This album, and their previous full-length speak volumes, but seeing this full package in the flesh truly proves that they are the real deal.
There are multiple pre-order options available including several vinyl versions, a CD, merch, and amazing bundle packages!

THE RE-VOLTS
WAGES 7"
2 BRAND NEW SONGS!
Bay Area local favorites The Re-Volts are back with two brand new tracks! To date, The Re-Volts only release was the Self-Titled 10” EP (PPR, 2007). The songwriting and sheer musical talent on that beloved EP allowed Spike (ME FIRST AND THE GIMME GIMMES, SWINGIN' UTTERS, UKE HUNT) and Jack (ONE MAN ARMY, DEAD TO ME, TOYGUITAR) to send this music far and wide, quickly. These two new screamers are sure to wet the whistle for many fans, who have been desperately aching for more songs.
In primo fashion once again, and with a little songwriting teamwork from Blag Dahlia (DWARVES) on “Wages", and contributions from a few other friends (He Who Cannot Be Named [DWARVES], Paul Oxborrow [PRIMITIVE HEARTS / SO WHAT], Colin Delaney [THE HOOKS], & Bone Cootes) this new 7” showcases two exciting new tracks, very much in the vein of their debut EP - and shows quite clearly that there is still plenty of gas left in the tank, and lots of fun in store!
Always a sought after staple for local lineups, The Re-Volts do what they always do - deliver. Whether it’s live or on a record, their tunes are timeless and will continue to hold a place in the hearts (and playlists!) of many! Thankfully, these creative juices are flowing once more, and these two tracks are just the start…

MONSTER SQUAD
DEPRESSION 12" LP
FIRST NEW MUSIC IN 10 YEARS!
'Depression' is an album of overcoming the struggles that we all encounter in one form or another. Seeing the strength that we all possess, though rarely recognizing it. An album influenced by personal stories from the band, their fans, friends and loved ones.
Monster Squad was formed in 1997, and after self-releasing a few tapes, a 7", and a CD in the late 90’s/early 00's, they've released records with Rodent Popsicle Records, Burnt Ramen Records, Charged Records, Punk Core Records, Glue Rot Records and now Pirates Press Records in the USA (not to mention TSOR Records, Razorblade Music and Voltage Records in Europe).
Constant touring from 2003-2009 across the USA, UK and Europe earned them a massive, and dedicated fanbase - and after a bunch of US dates, they are heading back to the UK, Europe and Russia this summer to reconnect with all their friends abroad.
In addition to some amazing artwork by Winston Smith (DK logo, Green Day), the band collaborated with Bryan Lothian (A Global Threat) and Mike “Rufio” Kadomiya (Life Is Posers) to throw some pretty incredible finishing touches on this extremely well thought-out release!
After a ten-year recording hiatus, all the while remaining the best of friends, this year, the time was just right. The band has grown so much, learned so much, and been continually inspired by the effect that they’ve had on their fans and the people around them - The record reflects that beautifully, and musically sacrifices nothing in terms of the aggro and passion that has now driven them for over 20 years.

They’ve played giant stadium shows and tiny club shows - and it doesn’t matter who they are playing to, they impress everyone! These new tracks, and the accompanying videos are bound to do the same.
For the full experience, make the effort to see this band live and better understand why so many people are hailing them as one of the best new bands around!
