Blurt speaks with Yesterday’s Ring, stream the album
Our good buddy and busy freelance writer, John Moore, just published an interview he did for Yesterday’s Ring. Yeserday’s Ring recently released “Diamonds in the Ditch” on Suburban Home and John spoke with Hugo of YR about how they approach songwriting for Yesterday’s Ring and how that might be different than he writes for Sainte Catherines. Check out the feature and find out the future plans of Sainte Catherines and Hugo’s thoughts on why so many punk rockers have taken to Country/Americana leanings.

TP/PO: JOSH SMALL “Tall by Josh Small” double LP frosty green vinyl
JOSH SMALL “Tall by Josh Small” double LP frosty green vinyl
I still remember the first time I saw Josh Small jamming in Jon Snodgrass’ garage with Jon and Tim Barry. I was blown away as he song parts of songs that would eventually make up “Tall”. And since the release of “Tall”, Josh has been keeping super busy. He has toured all over in support of this album and currently, he is on tour in Europe with Mike Hale and Austin Lucas. When he gets home, he will begin recording a new album and if the demos I have are any indication, this is going to be an incredible album.
When we first pressed “Tall”, we did a pressing of only 200 copies. We put it out not because we thought it would be a big seller, but because we loved the album and wanted to have a copy on wax. That first pressing sold out even at the really high price we had to set because of how small the pressing was. This new repress is out of an edition of 500 copies on Frosty Green Vinyl. We are splitting the pressing with our friends at Hometown Caravan so we will have 250 copies. The price has gone down and the color of vinyl should match the silk-screened jacket. Pre-order this album and enter for a chance to win a test pressing. Good luck.
If you missed out on the original pressing, no problem. You should make sure though that you get a copy of this pressing. Take a listen to the full album stream below and if you dig it, please share it with others. This is a beautiful album that sounds like it was made in the 70’s folk scene.
VINYL COMES WITH A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD COUPON AND WE SHOULD HAVE COPIES BY NEXT WEEK.

Paste reviews Two Cow Garage “Speaking in Cursive” / Stream
The highly respected Paste magazine just recently reviewed Two Cow Garage’s “Speaking in Cursive”, here is a snippet of what they had to say, “In a more just universe, Columbus, Ohio’s Two Cow Garage would be playing the big summer festivals. Instead, they detonate their killer live shows night after night in front of mostly indifferent fans in dive bars in the Midwest.
Sounding either like Steve Earle fronting The Replacements or Paul Westerberg fronting Drive-By Truckers, take your pick, these four lads rock and lope, but mostly they bash the hell out of their instruments and sing their rough and ragged but literate tales of the lost and the losers, kids who were raised on Jesus and Disney movies and meth labs, bored and lethargic and intermittently, furiously committed to busting out of their dead-end farm towns.”
Read the rest of the review at this link. I must say that I love the Steve Earle/Replacements and Paul Westerberg/Drive By Truckers comparisons.

STEREOTYPERIDER’S last show in Denver this Friday, June 19th / Review
This Friday, June 19th, Stereotyperider are playing their final show EVER in Denver. When the band originally announced their final show ever, I pushed them hard to play a final Denver date and luckily, they agreed. The show will be epic as not only are Stereotyperider playing, but 3 great locals will round out the bill (Only Thunder, Taun Taun, and Mustangs and Madras). The show will be bittersweet, but at least we will have the opportunity to see an incredible band play one more show. If you are anywhere near Denver, I urge you to see this show.
When: Friday, June 19th
Where: Larimer Lounge
Who: Stereotyperider’s last Denver show w/ Taun Taun, Only Thunder, and Mustangs and Madras
What: A nice sendoff for one of Phoenix’s finest rock bands
I feel as though Stereotyperider released their most incredible album of their career with “Songs in the Keys of F and U”. As I was riding my bike home yesterday rocking the album, it made me think about all of the great bands out there who just never got their due. I like to say that Stereotyperider should have been received in a much bigger way, but the same could be said of so many other bands. My personal connection to the band and their music obviously makes me biased. I also wonder if our heavy involvement with alt-country/roots music may have hurt the possibility for this record to get heard. THIS IS A ROCK RECORD through and through; listen to the stream below and share it if you dig it. I think that if No Idea or Second Nature had released this record, the band could have connected with more fans. Take a listen and let us know what you think:
By the way, here is what Rock Sound said of the album in a recent review, “That they managed to produce a rather fine album full of energy and vigour speaks volumes about their love for hard grafters such as Jawbreaker and Alkaline Trio, their sound taking its cues from the earlier period of both band’s careers. Fans of driving guitar lines, fuzzy bass and strained, off-kilter vocal cries will not be diappointed in the slightest. FOR FANS OF : Jawbreaker, Hot Water Music, Alkaline Trio, Small Brown Bike” (Rocksound issue #123, 8/10)

Suburban Home and Friends Mixtape/Playlist on LaLa
During a bout of insomnia last night, I decided to fart around on Lala.com and figured out I can make a playlist. I am not yet sure if you have to have an account with Lala to listen to it (I hope you don’t have to have an account). I put together what I think is a pretty kickass 40 song mixtape. I put mostly alt-country, singer-songwriter, more rootsy tracks together and of the 40 tracks, there are a lot of Suburban Home artists. I listened to it this morning and I got to say, it rocks. Take a listen. Shit, make your own mixtape and send me a link, it is fun to share these types of things.
IF YOU CLICK THE PLAY ALL BUTTON IN THE LOWER LEFT HAND CORNER, YOU CAN LISTEN TO THIS MIX WITHOUT HAVING A LALA ACCOUNT!

Video: YESTERDAY’S RING “Diamonds in the Ditch” Deluxe Set / CONTEST
I ripped off this idea form Topspin Media who did the same thing for their Metric deluxe set. Here my friends is a video showing you what you get if you purchase the Yesterday’s Ring “Diamonds in the Ditch” deluxe set. Brandon filmed me showing off the double LP, the CD, the pint glass, the button, the poster, and the coozie. If you ask me, it is a hell of a deal at $40. We still have some left so I recommend that you pick it up. You can find the item at this link.
Here is where we ask for your help and reward one helper. If you have a twitter account, please RETWEET this post. Please include in the tweet the tag for Vinyl Collective which is #vinylcollective. We will select one of the retweeters and that person will receive a deluxe set for free. Thanks for your help.
If you haven’t heard the album yet, you can stream it with our embeddable streaming player. Take a listen, the record is one of the most powerful Country-influenced Punk records I have ever heard.

Suburban Home signs Look Mexico, Listen to 2 Demos from their Upcoming Album
Today, I am excited to announce to the world that we have just “signed” Look Mexico. The Tallahassee, Floridians started writing music in mid 2004 having released a full length (”This is Animal Music”), a collection album (”The Crucial Collection”), and a number of EPs including a song on the first ever Under the Influence 7″ with Fake Problems and one of my favorite 7″s of 2009, the Gasp Asp EP. We became fans of the band when we first spun “This is Animal Music” and was absolutely delighted that Fake Problems wanted to do their Under the Influence with them. We later met the band at the past year’s Fest and have since been discussing the possibility of us working together. It is important for us to be able to get along with our bands, maybe even more important than any other factor, and Look Mexico are family. I realized it when the band were in Denver (while on tour with Frank Turner) as we shared more than a few drinks together, up front singing along to Frank Turner’s set. Musically, Look Mexico are one of the few bands that everyone in our office enjoys. Their sound recalls, at least to me, early Minus the Bear mixed with some Get up Kids, 2 bands I absolutely love. They mix melody and technical precision in a way that just grabs us.
The band are currently recording what will become their Suburban Home Records’ debut. They will again be working with Phil Martin and August Hansen who will be engineering and producing the recording out of a rented out basement (underneath a pizza joint). We hope to release the album in the Fall of 2009 with a 7″ single prior to the album’s release. Expect the band to tour like crazy throughout the UK, Europe, Japan, Canada, and the United States after the release of their new albu. Stay tuned for further details and know that we here at Suburban Home are absolutely positively excited to be able to work with such a talented band.
Right now through the weekend, you can listen to 2 demo recordings of songs (”Just Like Old Times” and “” that will be featured on Look Mexico’s upcoming album. Just visit their Myspace page to listen to the songs.
