The Soviettes LP II reissue coming next week!

In case you hadn't heard, Kiss of Death Records is super stoked to be releasing a completely remastered reissue of THE SOVIETTES LP II. The legendary Minneapolis band had originally released the album on Adeline Records (who are also re-releasing the CD), and we've been given the honor of handling their vinyl. LP II is a blast of energetic, classic sounding (mostly) female fronted pop punk. There is a super authentic 80's vibe to this record with both the production and song writing calling to mind aspects of Blondie and the Go Go's. However, the band isn't always tearing at break neck speeds, they slow it down on a couple of more melancholy and rocking tracks like "Tonight" and "Whatever You Want." Absolutely Crucial Record! Check out a video of their song "#1 is Number Two" HERE!! And the preorder for the record is already available HERE! We already have all of the parts in stock, so preorders will ship by May 31st on the official release date.

Dirty Tactics "Your Song" Video now at Punknews.org

Punknews.org have just posted the last (but not least) video from Dirty Tactics "Divine Middle" EP. The song is called "Your Song" and is available to view exclusively HERE. We at KOD have co-released the EP with Say 10 Records and you can purchase it on Seven Inch or as a CD/EP. You probably want to get on that now.

1994! "Most Deaf" 7" out now! Summer Tour with Algernon Cadwallader and Snowing!

Today is the official release of the "Most Deaf" 7" by Lancaster PA's 1994! The two song 7" is available on vinyl or digital download and can be found right HERE in our store. For more info on what to expect from the release and tons of tourdates from their summer tour (w/ Algernon Cadwallader and Snowing) keep reading below:


Lancaster PA’s 1994! are a heavy duo de force. The songs on "Most Deaf" just don’t let up. A plethora of attitude with belted out hoarse vocals, soaring riffs, and grooving tempos make it reminiscent of a lot of the great emocore bands of the 90's. (Yeah "emocore," because that's what kids called it back then, before it became a generic, over produced, over hyped, fashionable, and haircut driven bastardization that everyone knows today.) Time to stop ranting, trust us this is totally worth checking out!
