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:

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
