Dear Landlord: Dream Homes
Got a bunch of rad stuff from No Idea this week, including this one. I’ve almost bought this like 10 times over the past year cuz I love this record to death. Finally pulled the trigger. These guys don’t really give a shit. They write really catchy pop punk songs about being miserable and getting beyond fucked up because it’s easier than dealing with your shitty reality. Much...

We’re mega excited to announce that we will be reissuing the Pianos Become The Teeth and The Saddest Landscape Split EP that was released last year on Just Say No Records. The album was originally released as a 9 inch record with an etching on the b-side. We will be reissuing the album as…

Light The Fuse And Run - All Your Base Are Belong...
Out of all the bands that came out of Virginia in the late 90’s/early 2000’s Light The Fuse seems to be kind of overlooked now. I’m sure most people know them for their split 7” with Hot Cross, and if you’ve heard that it’s really only the tip of the iceberg.
All Your Base Are Belong To Us is a staple punk rock record for me. The pace and flow of the record is...

More TSL Vinyl
Here’s a few more updates on TSL-related vinyl:
1) The Panic Records collector’s pack version of You Will Not Survive is just about ready (if you ordered, thanks so much for your patience). It looks pretty damn sweet so hopefully it’ll be worth your wait. Comes with a bonus live 7” and all current color variants of the LP. There are 10 packs left, which you can get...
Few Slipmats Left
We had a bunch of people asking us for slipmats who already owned the discography so we put the leftover ones up separately in the store here.
Topshelf Records: We're Five Years Old! →
Haven’t had a chance to download this yet but I’m sure whatever it is is great. Do it up.

When Seth & I started this label five years ago we never really imagined where we would go with it. Along the way we’ve had some serious ups and downs, put out some fantastic records made by our friends, met some great people and subsequently made life-long friendships....

In First Person - Lost Between Hands Held Tight
In First Person was provocative and political within the lyrics, and technical and emotional within the music. This is more than a solid LP and I would put this on any day of the week. The thing I really like about this band is how well they work as a single unit. The big problem I find with a lot of hardcore bands that have vocalists also playing instruments is that they tend to write music and...
katainikataku asked: hye! i love all your song in the "You will never survive"

Kerouac - Cold and Distant, Not Loving 10"
I stumbled upon Kerouac a few months back because people who liked You Will Not Survive seemed to really dig Cold and Distant, Not Loving as well.
Their singer Thom and I started talking on Twitter recently and we traded records. Really nice dude and really good band/release. Hopefully we can meet up for some shows the next time we do a UK tour. Stream the whole 10” below, and pick up a...
Saddest Landscape Discography Repress + Slipmats
The vinyl version of our early discography went out of print so we pressed 100 more on a new color. Being the vinyl dweebs we are, we also made some saddest landscape slipmats. Starting now, the first 25 orders of the discog repress will come with a free slipmat. You can grab it HERE.
Not a pre-order, we already have everything so it’ll be shipping immediately. Thanks for your support!

Guest Nerd Post: Chad from Pianos Become the Teeth
Today’s guest nerd post is from our buddy Chad of Pianos. Chad has rad taste in music. He keeps a music and art/design blog called Stoking The Roots which has turned me on to some of my favorite albums of the past year. Chad is also the doppelganger of my friend Andrew- they look identical, have the same mannerisms and personality- it’s fucked up. If the two of them ever end up in the...

Neil Perry - Lineage Situation
Neil Perry is one of my favorite bands, and I’ve been trying to collect the discography for a while and the final piece of the puzzle came today. If you haven’t heard them and you’re into punk rock I highly suggest you get a hold of the discography CD. Most of their earlier songs are short and sweet, but the progression as musicians really shows here. The later songs are, in my opinion, their best...
New TSL Shows
Records are awesome and all, but playing shows is pretty fun too. Planning a lot of them for this winter and spring. Updating MySpace is annoying as fuck and pointless, so we’ll just keep a running list here for now and update it as more are added. Will add in links with more info for each show too when not feeling lazy.
Here are the ones that are 100% confirmed for now:

Guest Nerd Post: Animal Style Records Talks...
I first found out about Animal Style about 2 years back when they put out Daggermouth’s Turf Wars on vinyl. I’m pretty picky when it comes to pop punk hardcore- a lot of the time it comes off too goofy or insincere, but when done right, I’m a huge sucker for it. Daggermouth pretty much nailed it on the head and it’s a shame that they called it a day. But, in the 2 years...
