In Remembrance • Lance Hahn • 1967-2007
It was an honor beyond all others that I was lucky enough to get to release one, let alone two J Church 7" records. Thankfully because Lance was such a prolific songwriter, there is a wealth of his music out there waiting to be discovered. Do yourself a favor and make a worthwhile journey down that road. Thanks for everything Lance, we all really miss you.

This record is going to be a co-release with Home of the Brave Records from London and in the spring Shot Baker and Serf Combat are going to do a UK tour together in support of it!
the Hallow / Love & Squalor"TBA" split CD (LP version coming soon!)
split LP / CD for these two Chicago Area punk rock bands that deserve a little more attention. They've both been kicking around in one form or another for a while now, and are both damn-hardworking bands. the Hallow are kind of reminiscent of Black Sails-era AFI & Love and Squalor kind of remind me of bands like Smoke or Fire or Small Brown Bike. These songs are the best material both of the band have released so far!!
Ambition MissionDiscography CD
One of the truly great punk rock bands from Chicago. They played a style akin to East Bay bands like Hickey, Crimpshrine or the Avengers but somehow made it all their own too. This is a REPRESSING of the very first Government Music release (my old record label). New art and lyrics!!! (pre This is My Fist, Fourth Rotor, Canadian Rifle & Chronic Seizure, 97 Shiki, among many other great bands the members have spent time in)!! THIS WILL BE EXACTLY THE SAME AUDIO CD AS THE GOV'T MUSIC VERSION, NO BONUS TRACKS BECAUSE IT HAD EVERYTHING THEY EVER RECORDED!the MethadonesNot Economically Viable LP. the Third Methadones album, a unique and amazing record...partially a concept record based on the movie Falling Down. They broke free a bit from the usual Ramones-core sound on this one and incorporated more of their power-pop influences that would be put on full display with the following record(their 21st Century Power Pop Riot cover song compilation, on Red Scare). For a lot of people this is their favorite Methadones album, because it's so different...but hindsight being 20/20 EVERY record they do is unique! The band is going to finish recording at least one song for a bonus track that they started to record during these sessions...which I think is pretty cool! the complete recording overhaul / re-mastering by Matt Allison at Atlas Studio in Chicago(recorded every band you like) should be ready soon!
the Bhopal Stiffs-1985-1989 LP+CD
Yes! One of the great Chicago punk rock bands from the 80's finally sees some re-issue magic on vinyl! This great band lasted only a few years but made some really amazing music in that time. Two members of this band, singer/guitarist Larry Damore and bassist Steve Saylors formed Pegboy not long after their break up. So if you're a fan of Pegboy, the Effigies or Naked Raygun...you'll definitely like this!!!! This will be all studio songs from the discography on vinyl, but it will come with a copy of the CD, that has all the LP tracks plus all the bonus live songs(some of which are unreleased/never properly recorded songs. This one is going to take a while because we're going to update the artwork from the Harmless Records version and try to include as many old flyers, set lists, etc. as possible...make it as fun and informative as possible.
Explode and Make Up-6 songs (one sided) 12" EP
Debut official release for this Chicago hardcore band, over 2 years in the works. The band fell apart for a while then have recently re-grouped and are rearing to go...so we're teaming up to get this out. The band features current members of Four Star Alarm, the Bomb, the Methadones / ex the Story So Far, Tomorrow's Gone & 88 Fingers Louie.
ChannelsWaiting For the Next End of the World / Open EP 2xLP
Details are still being worked out on this but the plan is this will be both the full length and first EP from this Baltimore / Washington DC area band. The EP was released by Desoto and the full length Dischord, neither on vinyl...until now. Classic DC style post punk played by "some very well respected hacks of the music industry"!
Check 'em out at: the Channels Myspace page!the Romeros / ChivalriesTBA split 7"
Two hardworking Chicago punk rock bands teaming up for a battle of biblical proportions! ...ok, not really, but they're two great bands from Chicago that you probably aren't familiar with, but should be! More info TBA

Announced Today 40th Anniversary of Woodstock Free Concert in Golden Gate Park San Francisco, October 25, 2009
In honor of Jimi Hendrix, who headlined the festival in 1969, 3,000 guitar players will attempt to break the World's Record for the Largest Guitar Ensemble playing "Purple Haze" -- all at the same time!
AND NOW FOR A BREIF COMMENT CONCERNING THE ABOVE STATEMENT FROM THE ROBOTS FROM MARS
You can’t fool us. We know that this is really a teaser for that new HIPPIE EXPLOTATION flick,
ROCK N’ ROLL HELL!!!
Rabbit Show Reject, “I believe there is another gig at the Golden Gate Park in September, to celebrate the life of Isaac Asimov.
4,000 Robots will attempt to fart 'Mr. Tambourine Man' in unison. ”
Robots From Mars, “We also heard that the 4,000 Robots would then go on to New York City where they will help canonize Bob Dylan.
We presume that it will be a gauntlet of farts from the East Side to the West ending with a grand finale crowd-pleasing version of “All Along The Watchtower”.
Just think, 50 years ago Mr. Zimmerman couldn’t afford a hotel room in New York City and now we are re-naming a district after him. ”
PS The Hendrix Gig is for real…3,000 guitar players killing “Purple Haze”.
