Record Store Day 2013 UPDATE

Some of the Record Store Day titles we ordered are still in transit and we hope to have them in time.  As of now, the ones that we will certainly have are:

  • Seven Sisters of Sleep/Ilsa split 7" (A389 Records) SEE MORE INFO HERE
  • Poison Idea "Filthkick EP" 7" (TKO Records)
  • Sense Field s/t LP (Revelation Records) 
  • Slipknot s/t 7" (Revelation Records)

FDH Records has generously added a few more TEST PRESS copies, however these records have not been released yet!  Very limited and very exclusive:
Primitive Hearts "High & Tight" LP

Poppets
"Primitive Hearts finally bring their first full length album to the table, following up their recent 7″ on the band’s own No Rules Records. This Oakland, CA based power trio have undoubtedly mastered the brass-knuckled, bubblegum garage-pop sound. Blasting through 12 three chord power pop hits in under 25 minutes, Primitive Hearts have learned to channel the aspects of all of your current west coast favorites. They somehow capture the vintage R&B hooks of Shannon and the Clams, the sloppy rawness of Nobunny, the pop sensibility of Hunx, all with the energy of Mean Jeans. This record is a perfect, feel-good anthem for the upcoming 2013 summer. Co-released between 3 labels: FDH (Philly), Resurrection (CA), & P.Trash (Germany).” This record is scheduled for release June 2013.




“Have you ever chewed a big wad of bubblegum on the beach and gotten sand blown in your mouth? That sugary crunchiness, crackle and pop sensation is similar to the sound of POPPETS, a drum machine based garage-pop duo from Sweden. The group consists of Lina and Magnus, whose crazy pop hooks will instantly make you fall head over heels in love.” This is the bands first LP since 2009 that FDH co-released with P.Trash. Scheduled for release in June 2013.
