Another insane RECORD OF THE WEEK Blog coming down the pipe!!!<\/p>\n

A label is definitely doing something right if you get to 200 RELEASES. \u201cOne Family. One Flag.\u201d is PIRATES PRESS RECORDS\u2019 200th release, and spares no expense\u2026even with the TEST PRESSINGS! The list of artists (including RANCID, COCK SPARRER, THE OLD FIRM CASUALS, THE INTERRUPTERS, and more) have fans clamoring for it, and it\u2019s not even out till November 23! This test pressing package includes the 3LP packaged in rubber stamped innersleeves, inside a flood black jacket that is topped off by an incredibly detailed 3D rubber patch of the cover art. The D.I.Y. rubber-stamped innersleeves are a nice and simple touch that gives these records a special feel and the 3D rubber patch (with adhesive backing that can also be sewn onto apparel) trademarks this all around incredible package. And these are just the test pressings!!! Just wait till you see the real deal…<\/p>\n

Only 100 of these test pressing packages were made (half of which are with the bands and all the Pirates!) The remainder are being sold on PPR\u2019s webstore, with all proceeds going to support the legendary Berkeley, CA venue and punk rock collective that is 924 Gilman St<\/a>.

Fresh off a huge US tour, CANDY has once again teamed up with TRIPLE-B RECORDS for their most fantastical and sinister release yet. Keeping in line with the artistic dualities of pleasure and pain, fact and fiction, peace and violence, their debut LP, “Good To Feel,” delivers nine songs of their most ambitious and focused material to date. Aligning with the esteemed engineer and producer Arthur Rizk, CANDY has finally achieved the type of artistry that transcends the confines of its own medium!<\/p>\n

Over six years, several EPs, and two full-lengths, DRUG CHURCH have earned a cult following by making outsider music that\u2019s as thoughtful as it is hard hitting. Their sound is a crushing mix of hardcore energy, \u201890s alternative melodicism, and their signature sing-shout. DRUG CHURCH are a glorious contradiction. They are an unabashedly aggressive band that writes hooks you can\u2019t stop humming: too poppy for the heavy crowd, too heavy for the poppy crowd. Get \u201cCheer\u201d only at PURE NOISE RECORDS!<\/p>\n
