Announcing SCHMIDTHEADS - retrospective LP!!

This mysterious band that existed between 1986 and 1989 in Arcata, California, never released anything on vinyl. There were plans, and the band went down to Los Angeles to record two songs, but soon afterwards they broke up and the vinyl record never happened. Some people remember Schmidtheads from Aaron Cometbus´ compilation  Best We Regret, which put together on one tape 33 Northern California bands with unreleased recordings ranging from 1981 till 1988. 

Schmidtheads named themselves after a beer company, because they used to drink exclusively Schmidt beer. They played a lot, mostly locally, besides their infamous "LA or bust" Tour. They played with Operation Ivy, Crimpshrine, Mr. Bungle, Problem Children, Blatz, Isocracy, Brent´s TV, Neer Do Wells, Lethal Gospel, One Man Running, Nuisance and many others. This is a song from their upcoming retrospective LP album out on No Plan records very very soon:

News!! News!! News!! Breeders - Zen Punk 7"EP just out!

This is the original Breeders, formed in Champaign, IL, in the early-eighties. They released a 7" EP titled "Zen Punk" and an eight song cassette titled "Things Happen". This is a little hidden gem of Midwestern punk. Three songs, remastered for the occasion. A side is an elaborate song between Punk Rock and No Wave, that brings in mind bands like Gang of Four, Contortions, Wire,... On the flip side, two miniatures on the verge of hardcore. Think early Husker Du, Minor Threat and White Cross. Comes with the original artwork and a sticker!

You can listen to one of the songs here: 

400 copies on black vinyl and 50 on green (with some on swirled green).

They can be ordered from Goodwill records

REJECTORS - Thoughts Of War 7"EP is out now!

Seminal hardcore punk from Seattle, Washington, active approx. 1981-1986. The Rejectors released a 9 song 7" called "Thoughts Of War" on Fartz records in '82. Less sludgy than some of their Seattle punk peers, instead providing quick-paced west coast style thrashers with snotty teenage vocals and earnest, often politically-minded lyrics. Remastered for the occasion, the 7" comes with the original 7" artwork and insert, plus a sticker!

You can listen to some of the tracks from the 7" below:

There are 50 copies on magenta (with about 10 on swirled magenta vinyl) and 400 on black. You can order your copy at www.goodwillrecords.net
