NOFX’s first release on FAT, The Longest Line, turned 30 this year! The iconic cover art was designed by the legendary Dan Sites, and today we’re delighted to celebrate its birthday with a repressing of this classic release. We also have a new Dan Sites reimagined cover art variant for you, and an exclusive color vinyl bundle, featuring the new artwork. For all the OG art purists, we’re not leaving you stranded…we have the original cover with a color variant as well. The best part of all this vinyl news is that it’s ready to ship IMMEDIATELY! Huzzah! Be on the lookout, as the anniversary cover will also be sold as a print by Sonic Art later in the month.
Today, we commemorate the prolific and influential career of No Use For A Name with Black Box. The career-spanning vinyl box set includes 13 LPs + 1- 7″. One of the LP’s and 7″ are both previously unreleased and exclusive to this box-set. We also created a 12″ x 12″ booklet with the band’s oral and visual history. This one-time pressing comes on colored vinyl and you can grab yours today. The best part? These are ready to start shipping today!
Wrapping up this project has been bitter-sweet, since we’ve been working on it for so long. During the journey, we’ve relished rediscovering NUFAN’s incredible catalog and revisiting our beloved friend, Tony Sly’s amazing body of work. The experience of sifting through all the pictures, stories, and songs has been an absolute joy, and we’re stoked to share it with all of you!
Chicago has always been a fertile ground for pop punk and melodic punk/skate punk and Counterpunch just released their new full length album and it is an instant classic! This one contains twelve songs and it is a lesson in melodic skate punk. After instrumental intro, Avarice leads us in with anthemic chorus, great melody and uplifting vibe. Fascinating how vocals vary from nice harmonies to scream more in a hardcore way. One of my personal favorites is Calling All Scars, being fast straightforward short but sweet song. One of the highlights that I must mention also is Waiting In The Wings, for me the best song on this record. Who likes their punk rock more slower and gentler will find their love in Judgement Day, being such beautiful song. But, in order for you to discover this record and previous records by this awesome band, go listen and check it out. Find your favorite. I recommend this one.
