Format: 7"
Catalog number: PSP 019

Catalog number: PSP 015
UPC: 7 11574 45152 4
Track listing: click here
Release date: 10.23.01

The posthumous release of the final Haywood record. The last thing they ever did was go into the studio to record these songs. We think there's no bigger testament to how good these songs are than to say we're putting them out even though the band is no longer together.

Catalog number: PSP 014
Track listing: click here
Release date: 06.26.01

We couldn't be more tickled to be releasing a Clem Snide 7". They've been one of our favorites for a long time. Eef Barzalay is most definitely one of the best songwriters out there today.

Catalog number (CD): FK 004
Catalog number (LP): PSP 013
Track listing: click here

Release date: 01.23.01

Produced by J. Robbins and featuring performances from ex-members of Pell Mell, Sunny Day Real Estate, the Mommyheads and the Mr. T. Experience (as well as J. himself on almost every track), this is most perfect pop record in the last couple of years.

Track listing: click here
Release date: 02.08.00

Life on the edge -- or actually, life so far past the edge that the edge seems like the horizon -- hasn't sounded this good since those first couple of Springsteen records. This record has taken on a life even bigger than Craig Finn's characters which populate it.





Band: Les Savy Fav
Title: The Cat and the Cobra
Format: CD/LP
Catalog number (CD): FK 001

Title: Half Rack of Sugar
Format: CD
Catalog number: PSP 007
UPC: 7 11574 4607 2 4
Track listing: click here
Release date: 10.15.98

Blistering Texas rock (sex) machine. Gritty, raunchy...technically in the same school as The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, but definitely not in the same league. Add more AC/DC or something. (In other words, more balls.)





Band: Compound Red
Title: Always A Pleasure
Format: LP
Catalog number: PSP 006
Track listing: click here
Release date: 06.16.98

Quality mature-too-mature-for-the-term-emo band from Milwaukee. CD available from DeSoto Records. They were a touring machine - alas, they have broken up. Still, this amazing record remains as a testament.

Title: "4 Lights"
Format: 7"
Catalog number: PSP 005
Track listing: click here
Release date: 06.16.98

Connecticut hardcore featuring Moby on drums. Yeah...that Moby. He used to be in The Vatican Commandos and lots o' other legendary Conn. SE bands. He made this while he was between major recording contracts and he was free to pursue side projects. Think back to The Anthrax...this is like that...crossed with a healthy sense of humor. (limited edition hand-numbered cover still available in small quantities.)





Band: The Mooney Suzuki
Title: Taking Me Apart
Format: 7"
Catalog number: PSP 004
Track listing: click here
Release date: 03.03.98

The debut release from these NYC Rockers. This was more jangly / Velvet Underground than the nutso-garage-retro monster they've turned into these days. Still great songs all these years later. Still a few copies left!





Band: Les Savy Fav
Title: 3/5
Format: CD/LP
Catalog number: PSP 003
UPC (CD): 7 11574 4603 2 8
Track listing: click here
Release date: 07.01.97

The flagship, as they say. The long-out-of-print LP came in a pack of shower caps.




Band: Grieving Eucalyptus
Title: Johnny Made Me Do It
Format: 7"
Catalog number: PSP 002
Track listing: click here
Release date: 06.13.95

Like Buddy Holly all hopped up on pre-sweetened breakfast cereal. They released a full-length on FOE Records (FOE released the early Weston records). They recently changed their name to The Tumblers. Out of print..





Band: Karate
Title: Death Kit
Format: 7"
Catalog number: PSP 001
Track listing: click here
Release date: 01.19.95

The debut release by Karate. Two songs: "Death Kit" and "Nerve". This is where it all began. Still a classic. Two pressings long-gone. Out of print.
