Daleth / Blue Shift - "Split" CD-R ($5 in the U.S.)
Daleth further develops its trademark lo-fi sludge, a hammering wash of overdriven drums and guitars that lends the texture of speakers squarewaving into rupture. The songs progress confidently, often shifting to angular, atonal, quasi jazz-inflected avant-metal, lilting post-rock hazes, and crescendoing passages of subwoofer-wobbling trudges and stutters. All in all, Daleth produces a sonic tension between exhaustion and mania, and while Blue Shift deals in similar psychological themes, it is through the use of quite different materials--namely, cacophonic, beatless violin riffs recorded in the red. From piercing shrillness to anxious quietism, Blue Shift produces tones of neurosis so palpable that someone needs to redo The Shining with these seizuring violin lines accompanying Nicholson's mental collapse. Recommended if you like: Floor, Isis, Noise.

Ars Phoenix - "Engines of Progress" Digipak CD ($6)
Ars Phoenix delivers a mélange of electro-rock rhythms, ambient synths, buzzsaw basses, and shimmering indie-pop guitars in Engines of Progress, the long-awaited follow up to 2002's Teen Movie Soundtrack (out of print). With appearances from members of Fake Problems, The Antiques, and Rowdy Towdy, this 18-track collection is a sonic bricolage of atmospheric post-punk, melancholic new wave, quirky IDM, hypnotic trip hop, and climactic shoegaze/post-rock. Carefully layered melodies and beats meet experimental blips and crackles in a release equally suited to dance floors and indie shows.

Rowdy Towdy - "Self Titled" CD ($5)
Four brand new songs from your favorite cowboy indie / folk-rockers. These tracks come with a dose of punk, and will not let anyone down! Features members of Noah's Apathy, Daleth, and Jenji!

Jenji - "Practice Space Blues" CD ($5)
Recorded live in their practice space, Jenji takes a raw, unpolished approach to punk that has almost been lost amidst the countless numbers of over-produced, auto-tuned, TRL-aspiring pop punk bands. The songs are melodic, and the vocals of lead singer Jen are snotty, humorous, and in your face. It has been noted that Jenji's shrill, stripped down, full-volume live performance can bring ears to the bleeding point, but for some reason the gut-level melodies and incessant rhythms make it feel so good. With influences ranging from Screeching Weasel, to The Ramones, and Bikini Kill and a completely live, energetic, and unadorned approach to recording, those who prefer their punk real, raw, and catchy owe it to themselves to check out Practice Space Blues. **WE JUST FOUND THREE COPIES OF THIS, AFTER THESE ARE GONE, IT'S OUT OF PRINT. HURRY UP AND ACT NOW!**

Jenji - "Self Titled" CD ($5)
After months of anticipation, Jenji returns with fifteen songs of pure female fronted, pop-punk bliss. Believe us, it was worth the wait, as this could quite possibly be their best release to date.

Even in Blackouts - "Fall of the House of Even" CD ($6)
For their third full-length release, Even In Blackouts has taken another step in the progression of their sound. Every track on Fall of the House of Even takes a separate approach as if they were different rooms in a decrepit house. Each one of those rooms carries its own occupant, and with that entity comes different musical influences ranging from punk, bluegrass, jazz and R&B. Match the occasionally dark undertones with their always present energy and angelic female voice, and you get EIB’s most inspired release yet.

Noah's Apathy - "Something to Divide" CD ($4)
Noah's Apathy is like a machine gone mad. Just when you think you have them figured out, they completely change the settings. 2004's, "The Pacific" left everyone singing the songs for months. Now, they're back with seven pounding tracks of riff heavy fury. Sure, you might know the words to the chorus, but what about the bridge?! Anyone with a solid taste in music can and will enjoy this band!

Fake Problems / Sedona - "Split" CD ($4)
Fake Problems: Handsome indie pop connoisseurs performing witty and intelligent rock & roll music with undertones of folk from Naples, FL. Always on tour! Sedona: Features members of The Arrivals! Gentle indie from North Carolina. Sedona can also be found on several Deep Elm Records compilations.

Unlucky Atlas - "The Course of Empire" 3" CD ($2)
Apocalyptic acoustic doom! Four brand new tracks from Chicago via Florida transplants Unlucky Atlas on a 3" CD. If His Hero is Gone unplugged, they might sound something like this! ***Please note, this may not be suitable for all CD Players!***

Unlucky Atlas / The Antiques - "Split" 7" ($2)
Chicago's new residents Unlucky Atlas present doom laden synth heavy apocalyptic with male and female harmonies over airy 6 & 12 string guitar work in the vein of The Church, One AM Radio, and Starflyer 59 while Washington DC's The Antiques stumble over 60's garage melancholia accompanied by Farfisa Organs and Johnny marr-esque guitar stylings.
