HAPPY-FUCKING-NEW YEAR!!! We’ve got a goddamn party-starter to kick off 2026, the debut full-length from Sweden based outfit, UNGA JOACIM!! It’s a hip shaking crusher, seventeen ridiculously SYNTH heavy rollerskate jams with a punk attitude. I seriously can’t stop with this release, it’s absurdly fun & makes me just bop around, limited to 24 (got a dud) copies on solid pink shells. We’re firing hot throughout the first part of the new year, putting out the latest from Polish bedroom punk, BZDET. Self described as an experimental release, it’s still full of pounding, loopy bass, catchy synth, shouted vocals and fuzzed out strings, but, well, evolved. Out January 8th, limited to 25 on faded white shells. On January 14th we’ve got that hot new shit from Chicago one man ass-kicker, GAME SHOW MODELS!! Another short and sweet ripping EP, heavy on the grimy, grungy crunch with a heavy dose of catchy-as-hell RAMONES style pop harmonics, limited to 25 on solid pink shells. Very shortly after that, maybe before, who the fuck knows, really, we should be bringing you the first three releases from SONIC YOUTH OF TODAY, a garage punk juggernaut from Spain complete with three fucking synth handlers. It’s absurd, it’s mind blowing, it’s a downright delight, 25 copies, blue glitter shells. February 13th will bring the debut full-length from JAGUAR 777, we’re doing a limited cassette run with a couple of bonus tracks, I think it’ll be limited to 50 and maybe just a one time drop. Dope as hell burlesque, rockabilly, do-wapy, lo-fi garage with a twisted vintage vibe… it’s dope. Somewhere in there, maybe after, will be some brand new killers from Calgary, Alberta BUG SWALLOW, a brand new release from Sydney punkers PROBLEM GREEN. In the spring, maybe summer, we’re hoping for a brand new batch of hazy, fuzzy poppy garage punk gems from LA based, XRAY XEROXX. There’s more to fill in the gaps, including a few “I asked around and nobody said no” bootlegs of some of my favorite garage punk releases that never saw a proper cassette release. As I’m sure you can ascertain, these will not be “legitimate” releases, they’re bootlegs, but I’m putting the label logo on ‘em so if I get shut down it’s been a fun ride. Lots of other cool shit on the way, a benefit comp. compiled by BLOOD CANNARY, been talking to TWISTED TEENS about a EP collection and lots more ‘cuz I put out a ridiculous amount of releases per year.

TENNESSEE COLD CUTS is now offering custom cassette jobs with a super cheap introductory price, $140ppd for a run of 25, drop a line to tennesseecoldcuts@gmail.com to get the conversation started. New edition of the SLICE OF DEATH comp. will be out soonish, this time on blue glitter shells. Otherwise, we’ve got a few things in the works but nothing solid enough to speak about.

ARON GUBBE & MAX LOAF are dropping a brand new, weirdo rap release on EYE KNOW in the very near future, artwork is up, files are coming soon. It’s on its way, catchy, kinda goofy, catchy as I’ll get out Pacific Northwest hip-hop that’s a perpetual crowd favorite. Nothing else really in the works for EYE KNOW, kinda just hanging low until something comes up, if you’ve got a bangin’ release I need to know about, send me a message: eyyyeknnnow@gmail.com

While I might be sold out of a release, there’s a slight chance one of our distributors still has it, poke around SORRY STATE & TAPEHEAD CITY. Plus it’s fun to dig both sites virtual bins. If you’re in Nashville, head on over to DEAD END RECORDS, they carry pretty much all of our stuff, including some logo tees soon. IN YOUR EYES has a small selection of our releases in Italy, if your interested in carrying our releases for your distro get in touch about rates: knucklesonstun@gmail.com

ALLLLSSSOOO…. Putting together a compilation of punk/whatever bands/outfits doing De La Soul covers, if you have any interest lemme know. Not familiar or sure of where to start but hoping to be involved? Let me know.
