It's been six years since the sad dismantling of the great Oxford Collapse. Mike Pace has been slow and meticulous and has put together an LP worth of material that will make Oxford Collapse fans happy and Joe Jackson smile.

The album we always knew they would make. They've always been smart and catchy and great, but now they've learned how to just be Palomar. And Palomar are a great rock and roll band.

It's finally here. We thought this day would never come, but now that it's finished, we can honestly say that "Full Upright Position" was worth the wait. As smart of a pop record as you are going to ever hear, here's a record you can enjoy with your parents, and nobody feels guilty or bewildered. This will be a timeless classic, as they say..

Beautiful, sparse, and cathartic. We haven't heard anything like this since Jeff Buckley's "Grace". We're not kidding.

Eric Richter's newest project, The 101 promises to become one of the best rock bands around. Think Beatles, Jimmy Eat World, Buffalo Tom... SOLID songwriting + tight power-trio = songs that make us happy.

NYC's Sea Ray deliver the record that everybody knew they could make. Produced By Peter Katis (Interpol, The Get-Up Kids, The Philistines Jr.), "Stars At Noon" is nine songs of bittersweet pop.

Eamonn's debut full-length. "deserted music" is smart, catchy, plaintive, and both raw and refined at the same time. A truly well-crafted record that is going to be played for many years to come.

We Ragazzi's second record is a scorching beauty. So taut, so sexy... so confident. So good.

Ever wanna know the origins of the likes of Juanita, Katrina, and the eyepatch guy? Well... this isn't going to tell you (nor is it going to tell you what really goes on up at 15th & Franklin), but... these 40 songs spanning the length of Lifter Puller's lifetime are sure going to make you happy.

Austin's Western Keys make the kind of slow-and-tortured-yet-awfully-catchy-and-pretty indie rock that we all love so much.

NYC's The Red And The Black rise from the ashes of the late great Haywood. Great songwriting and playing... brings to mind Squirrelbait, Jimmy Eat World, and when Soul Asylum still kicked ass.

NYC's Palomar have been creating their own brand of fun sing-along girl-boy pop for a couple of years now. We're excited to have put out this, their second album.

Founding member of Karate Eamonn Vitt steps up with his debut solo release. Acoustic guitars, horns, keyboards....this came as quite a surprise to some. We're very excited to bring this baby into the world.

This record was supposed to come out a year before it did on another label. We're happy this ambitious project finally saw the light of day.

We did the second thing we never thought we'd do: we committed to putting out two records by a Chicago band!

We did the one thing we never thought we'd do: we committed to putting out a record by a Chicago band. They're just that good.

Young band from New York City that isn't afraid to not be indie rock. We're not quite sure what it is, but we like it.

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.

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.

The most exciting thing to come out of DC in a long time. We can't even begin to explain.

John Schmersal's been busy since Brainiac's demise, and he moved to New York. "Listen While You Talk" is one of the best songs in their current live set.

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.

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.

The perfect follow-up to the "3/5" album. Smarter, stronger, better. Kinda all over the place, in a style distinctively Fav. LP out of print.

Skillfully done rock. As simple as that. They have a full-length comp on Magwheel and a couple of singles. This is their debut album.

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.)

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.

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.)

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!

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

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..

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.
