Mojo Rojo's self-described "post modern pop rock" is a study in counterpoints: male/female vocals, loud/soft dynamics, and songs that are simultaneously technically demanding and viscerally satisfying. For fans of Built to Spill, Velocity Girl, Luna, and Hum.

Hand-screened sleeves.

Hay Perro is equally influenced by the precision of Iron Maiden, the rock and roll velocity of Motörhead, and the bombast of Turbonegro. Their second EP, "Summer of Destruction" is five songs teeming with harmonized guitar riffs and shoutalong choruses.

Hand-screened sleeves with fake blood.

Pyrite has the illusion of being a basic rock band, but their sound has many layers: unusual arrangements, dual vocals, wiry minimalism, noisy maximalism, and a whole lot in between. Their full-length debut, Back Pain is a collison of no-wave, post-punk, noise-rock, and 60's psych, stirred together into jarring-yet-accessible three-minute songs.

Hand-screened sleeves. Limited edition of 100.
