NO FRIENDS were interviewed by Razorcakes's Dave WIlliams a couple of months back and you can read all of the juicy goodness HERE. The band recently released the "Traditional Failures" EP which you can download for free HERE and purchase on vinyl HERE. We also have some of their leftover shirts from tour in the store if you're into that sort of thing.

Senders "Recovery" 7" and In the Red/The Anchor split now available!
So it's (unofficially) release day here at Kiss of Death Records and we are more than stoked to bring you two new records today. Not only do you get to order the head bobbing heaviness of SENDERS with their new "Recovery" 7", but you can also pick up some great new tunes on the IN THE RED / THE ANCHOR split 7". More details and links can be found below:
KOD 57 - SENDERS - "Recovery" 7"
Tracklisting:
1. Cuffed
2. Near Freeport
The follow up to their debut split 7" with Wavelets, Senders are back with a short record all their own. Pioneering the "stoner-emo" genre this foursome from Gainesville, Florida bring heavy riffs with a heaping helping of melody ala Hum. Side A features "Cuffed" which is a midtempo head-bobber that comes complete with epic buildups and a complimentary distorted/non-distorted vocal approach. Side B's "Near Freeport" chugs along with fearsome palm-muting and some soaring octave work and clever noodling on the guitars. This stuff is loud and aggressive, but Senders have quickly become masters at knowing when to take things down a notch. The quiet parts are an interesting calm before the storm. The heavy parts are destructive (with up to ten guitar tracks on each of these songs!). Get ready to cross your arms and nod your head like it's 1998 when you put this one on.
KOD 49 - IN THE RED / THE ANCHOR - Split 7"
Tracklisting:
1. IN THE RED - All Sixes
2. The Anchor - Opposite of Awesome
Mike Hale of Gunmoll fame is back again with more of his new outfit In the Red. This stuff goes to show that you can take the man out of Gainesville, but you can't take the Gainesville out of the man. Fans of the bands earlier work will be pleased to hear that Mike has lost none of his trademark growl on this stuff that falls somewhere between Leatherface and Hot Water Music. The Anchor brings along a track of gruff punk featuring bouncing bass-lines and hoarsely shouted vocals to their side of the split. I'd imagine that if Jersey's Best Dancers and Forever and Counting had a baby, it would look a lot like The Anchor.
Just like with the NO FRIENDS record we released in April we have a free download of the music available for both of these releases as well as the recently "dropped" MAYFLOWER album "Second Best Sunsets" and the O PIONEERS / JUNIOR BATTLES Split 7". Check out the links below and don't say we never gave you anything.

Senders "Recovery" 7" now streaming at Punknews!
We are less than a week away from releasing the new 7" from Gainesville, Florida's SENDERS. Punknews.org thought it would be a good idea to whet your whistle on their new jams by streaming it on their site. Go over to their Punknews.org PROFILE and check out the self-proclaimed "Stoner-Emo" band and their hook-laden wall of guitars. The record will be officially released on June 29th, but we might just be making it available to you a few days earlier. (Look for it Friday along with another new awesome 7").

Mayflower and O Pioneers!/Junior Battles now available!
I have to apologize for the lack of communication lately. Bryon is super busy with his A/V company and has been out of town working a lot. I'm preoccupied with slinging shit at a bar all week and dealing with school stuff. And Glenn has been working out a lot and going to the beach in an attempt to get as golden brown as possible (in between stuffing inserts and whatnot into all of these new releases we have coming soon and filling mailorder). But on the bright side we have some good news!
Today is the day when you can finally order the new LP from MAYFLOWER entitled "Second Best Sunsets." To top that off, we're also releasing the brand new O PIONEERS / JUNIOR BATTLES split 7"! This way you can pick up both right now and save a buck or two on shipping. See! We still think of you broke punx and how you need to buy beer and burritos and whatnot. More info on the new jams can be found below:
KOD 54 MAYFLOWER - "Second Best Sunsets" LP
1. Intro
2. I Never...
3. Movie Quotes and Inside Jokes
4. Election Days
5. S.A.D. Song
6. Cellophane
7. House Show is a Four Letter Word
8. I Want to Live
9. Worst Case Scenario
10. The World Needs Ditchdiggers
11. Highway to the Comfort Zone
12. Deadication
13. In It to Win It
Description: This record has been a long time in the making. After self-releasing their first demo and the "Lighter Fluid" 7" (Which featured 2 songs from this LP and a B-side), Mayflower has finally unveiled a sizable chunk of material for the people. This LP is a cynical punk rock jaunt in the vein of Off With Their Heads or Dillinger Four. After the introduction, the record kicks things in gear with the incredibly catchy "I Never..." With varying tempos like the slower "I Want to Live" and the memorably short and fast "Cellophane," Mayflower provide enough variation on this LP to keep it interesting at all times with their rough-around-the-edges brand of punk rock. This one is perfect for drunken singalongs, but also features smarter-than-average songwriting. If you still need convincing you can check out the whole record on the band's Punknews.org PROFILE.
KOD 56 O PIONEERS/JUNIOR BATTLES - split 7"
1. O Pioneers - "Hey! That's my Blood!"
2. Junior Battles - "Passing Out"
Description: Holy Shit! O Pioneers are back with a brand new song and brand new members as frontman Eric Soloman has enlisted the help of Toronto, Ontario's Junior Battles as not only the co-inhabitants of this split 7" but also as his new backing band. They sound tighter than ever with this driving, aggressive and melodic tune called "Hey! That's my Blood!" If this is a sign of things to come from O Pioneers, then people who haven't taken notice yet really need to jump on board. Pulling double duty here, Junior Battles contribute "Passing Out" as the song on the flip side of this 7". With varying tempos, catchy guitar lines and soaring dueling vocals, Junior Battles bring their own cool brand of pop punk with distinctive nods to the 90's emo scene.
Now I know what you're thinking... O Pioneers are on ANOTHER split?! Eric is such a WHORE! But seriously, this is the best Pioneers song ever. Get into it. You can pick up Mayflower HERE and you can pick up the split HERE
