CATALOG LP's LPR - 036 2009 "The Future is Soon" (Split Label with No Breaks) Formed from the ashes of Rock Paper Stupid, Daniel and Jordan continued writing songs together and when it came time recorded about 20 songs each switching vocal and instrument duties. "The Future Is Soon!" features 18 of those tracks recorded at 141 Moreland ( Atlanta, Georgia ) and mixed and mastered at Revolution Sound ( Chattanooga, Tennessee ). Each album cover is hand painted and screened on a recycled album cover! This is a must have for any fan of the Chattanooga punk scene, Rock Paper Stupid, ADD/C, Trash Train, Friday Knight, Queerwulf, or Giant Bags Of Weed. LPR - 031 Ponyboy "Sexual Assault Rifle" Full Length Angry and sober. 14 songs by 2 of Bloomington's most under-appreciated post-teen nihilistic thrashers and 1 life-long mad scientist working on some kind of world-collapsing program. Could be likened to laying down in a tanning booth, but by "laying down" I mean "swimming", and by "tanning booth" I mean "lake of mid-western, bass-heavy, guitar-driven, drum-led structured fuzz" playing from a stolen car stereo wired to your living room speakers. You could call it math-rock, but you'd be a poseur and would have to get the hell out of my bedroom. Lyrics about discarded coffins and adult confusion. 300 copies on black wax in all! CD's 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 Prizzy Prizzy Please sound like what Fugazi would have sounded like if Ian McKaye were backed by members of Prince’s Revolution and Parliament on drugs — a relentlessly punky attack that defies any real characterization. 9 song s/t mini album! 1st pressing 1000 cds in jeweled cases! 2nd pressing 1000 pressed cds in packaging assembled with love!   7" Records LPR - 034 Al Scorch "This Lonesome World" (Split label with No Breaks Records) Shit on the floor! 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. Old timey banjo songs about getting high and stick your finger in a babies eye, with the speed and charm of punk rock. This record is on about 6 different colors of wax! Beautiful shades of pink, mint, deep blue, raspberry sherbert and shit. 500 records in all! 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) two kick ass bands from the chicago land area, both bands packing in as many songs as possible on there side of the record. vacation bible school cutting their songs way short for a change and going balls out! boner bending stuff! bi-furious, with lyrics of true wisdom and songs about being a boy and having a weenie, smoking bongs, and how the news really does fucking suck. if you're one pissed off kid who still lives with your parents, this one for you! 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. LPR - 026 Sass Dragons/The Brokedowns Split Split Label with Cassette Deck Three fucking marvelous songs by both bands. One cover song by both bands. brokedowns cover ''full on idle'' by the breeders and sass dragons cover ''andre young'' by jimmyassmunch's former band, "the puppies"! they were punk fucking legends and do not forget it! Millions of brain cells were killed in the making of this record. this record will have its spot in punk rock history. Chicago is very lucky to have these two bands. (600 records pressed on black wax!) LPR - 024 Screaming Females/Full of Fancy Split 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. As for the screaming females, very few bands can pull off the music these new jersey sweet hearts are creating. Ripping guitar solos, catchy lyrics and a crucial funky beat! (first pressing 400 copies on 48 gram black wax! 2nd pressing 100 on clear wax with inverted covers and 300 on black wax!) 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" Split label with Dirt Cult Records 4-songs of gritty DIY pop punk from Las Cruces! Songs about seasonal depression, saying whatever you feel like saying, giving up on relationships, and questioning why the fuck you even try sometimes. But it's got a catchy beat and you can dance to it! 1st pressing 300 on black wax! 2nd 200 or so on white wax! 3rd and final pressing 300 on black! LPR - 017 Conniption Fitts "Shart Sandwich" Scuzz-filled garage rock left soaking in the trashy puddles behind the discount liquor store somewhere deep in the belly of Southern Illinois. 4-songs for the teenagers with bad mustaches drinking ethyl alcohol in the alleyway. (300 records pressed on recycled wax!) Tapes 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. CD-R's

	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.
